Regulations

PROJECT REVIEW REGULATIONS On December 5, 2006, the commissioners adopted the regulations as final rulemaking. The Effective date of this final rulemaking was February 20, 2007. On December 4, 2008, the commissioners adopted revisions relating to the review of consumptive water use for natural gas well development.

On September 10, 2008 the commissioners adopted final rulemaking regarding the use of SRBC-approved water sources for natural gas well development and clarifying administrative procedures. These revisions go into effect on November 1, 2009.


At the September 16, 2010 quarterly business meeting, SRBC staff will recommend for final rulemaking amendments to its project review regulations (18 CFR Parts 806 and 808), which are subject to change up to the time of final adoption.  The rulemaking would restore omitted provisions on subsidiary allocations, reiterate existing practices and policies, clarify provisions on change of ownership, improve and consolidate public notice requirements, refine Approval by Rule provisions, supplement approval criteria for diversions and restructure administrative appeal procedures.
