The proposed amendments also would, among other things, change definitions for improved sinkhole and new injection well and add a new definition for recharge point and modified recharge point; ban new injection wells within zone 1 of wellhead protection areas for public water wells and springs; require all injection wells to be identified on plat maps submitted with applications; address easements for class V wells not on the property of the applicant/responsible party; change plugging and abandonment requirements; reduce the fees for permit renewals and annual maintenance; and add a modified recharge point application fee and a fee for change of ownership.
