implement rules for the taking and use of water stored in an aquifer

pursuant to a site-specific aquifer storage and recovery plan,

including the issuance of permits for the taking and use of such

1. The Oklahoma Water Resources Board has approved the site-

specific aquifer storage and recovery plan;

2. The applicant has legal access to the water stored in the

aquifer pursuant to the plan;

3. The applicant or its successor in interest stored or caused

to be stored said water pursuant to and in compliance with any

required authorization issued by the Oklahoma Department of

Environmental Quality that is intended to protect water quality; and

4. The stored water is available for use in the applied for

amount during the period covered by, and in the manner described in,

the proposed permit.

D. Any permitted use of water stored in an aquifer under this

section is in addition to any domestic use authorized under Section

1020.3 of Title 82 of the Oklahoma Statutes or any other use

authorized pursuant to a permit issued under Section 1020.11 of

Title 82 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

E. Any permit issued under this section shall specify the

location of the permitted well or wells and other terms and

conditions as specified by the Board including, but not limited to,

the rate of withdrawal, the level of perforating and the level of
