13.29 	wetlands under section 103G.005, subdivision 19. The commissioner may only reclassify 
13.30 	public waters wetlands as public waters if:
13.31 	(1) they are assigned a shoreland management classification by the commissioner 
13.32 	under sections 103F.201 to 103F.221;
14.1 	(2) they are classified as lacustrine wetlands or deepwater habitats according to

14.12 	commissioner, a party required to receive the notice may provide a resolution stating 
14.13 	objections to the reclassification. If the commissioner receives an objection from a party

15.24 	data. Monitoring costs for water resources that supply more than one appropriator may be 
15.25 	distributed among all users within a monitoring area determined by the commissioner and 
15.26 	assessed based on volumes of water appropriated and proximity to resources of concern.

15.27 	Sec. 26. Minnesota Statutes 2008, section 103G.285, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
15.28 		Subd. 5.Trout streams. Permits issued after June 3, 1977, to appropriate water

16.4 	on the subsurface geologic formations penetrated by the well and the formation or aquifer 
16.5 	that will serve as the water source, and geologic information from test holes drilled to 
16.6 	locate the site of the production well;
16.7 	(2) the maximum daily, seasonal, and annual pumpage rates and volumes being 
16.8 	requested;
16.9 	(3) information on groundwater quality in terms of the measures of quality 
16.10 	commonly specified for the proposed water use and details on water treatment necessary 
16.11 	for the proposed use;
16.12 	(4) an inventory of existing wells within 1-1/2 miles of the proposed production well 
16.13 	or within the area of influence, as determined by the commissioner. The inventory must 
16.14 	include information on well locations, depths, geologic formations, depth of the pump or 
16.15 	intake, pumping and nonpumping water levels, and details of well construction; and
16.16 	(5) the results of an aquifer test completed according to specifications approved by 
16.17 	the commissioner. The test must be conducted at the maximum pumping rate requested 
16.18 	in the application and for a length of time adequate to assess or predict impacts to other 
16.19 	wells and surface water and groundwater resources. The permit applicant is responsible 
16.20 	for all costs related to the aquifer test, including the construction of groundwater and 
16.21 	surface water monitoring installations, and water level readings before, during, and after 
16.22 	the aquifer test.

16.24 	that have potential impacts to surface waters are subject to applicable provisions in 
16.25 	section 103G.285.
16.26 		Subd. 4.Protection of groundwater supplies. The commissioner may establish 
16.27 	water appropriation limits to protect groundwater resources. When establishing water 
16.28 	appropriation limits to protect groundwater resources, the commissioner must consider 
16.29 	current and projected water levels and water supply management objectives in section 
16.30 	103G.265, subdivision 1.
16.31 		Subd. 5.Groundwater management areas. The commissioner may designate 
16.32 	groundwater management areas and limit total annual water appropriations and uses 
16.33 	within a designated area to ensure future supplies. Water appropriations and uses within a 
16.34 	designated management area must be consistent with a plan approved by the commissioner 
16.35 	that addresses water conservation requirements and water allocation priorities established 
16.36 	in section 103G.261.
17.1 		Subd. 6.Interference with other wells. The commissioner may issue water use 
17.2 	permits for appropriation from groundwater only if the commissioner determines that 
17.3 	adequate water supplies are available for the proposed use without reducing water levels 
17.4 	beyond the reach of public water supply and private domestic wells constructed according 
17.5 	to Minnesota Rules, chapter 4725.
