Underground Storage and Recovery Regulations

On January 31st, 2001, the State Engineer adopted the Underground Storage and Recovery Regulations. The Underground Storage and Recovery Regulations govern the application process, the hydrologic, technical and financial capability report requirements, and the permit terms and conditions for projects authorized under the Ground Water Storage and Recovery Act, NMSA 1978, 72-5A-1 through 17 (1999 Supp.).

The regulations cover projects whose purpose is the artificial recharge, underground storage, and recovery of project water. Only governmental entities defined as Indian nations, tribes or pueblos or state political subdivisions, including municipalities, counties, acequias, irrigation districts or conservancy districts may apply for a permit. A permit from the state engineer is required to construct or operate a storage and recovery project in New Mexico.
