NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY:

KRS 13A.120 prohibits an administrative body from issuing standards or by any other name a document where an administrative regulation is required or authorized by law. KRS 13A.130 prohibits an administrative body from using a policy, memorandum, or other form of action to modify or expand a statute or administrative regulation, or to expand or limit a right guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of Kentucky, a statute, or an administrative regulation. This administrative regulation provides for the incorporation by reference allowed under 1 KAR 1:010 of the documents needed by the Environmental and Public Protection Cabinet to implement 401 KAR Chapter 4, Water Resources. Copies of these documents may be obtained or examined at the Division of Water Frankfort Office.

Water Withdrawal Permitting. The following documents included by reference and policies are for the purpose of determining whether to approve or deny permits to withdraw water pursuant to KRS 151.150:

(1)

Documents.

(a)

Flow Duration at Selected Stream-Sites in Kentucky (USGS Open File Report 80-1221).

Policy.

(a)

For the purpose of evaluating withdrawals from streams, the seven (7) day, ten (10) year low flow will be maintained in order to ensure proper water quality and provide for aquatic life needs.

(b)

In evaluating applications for groundwater withdrawals, the cabinet will allow the withdrawal of reasonable amounts without requiring submission of extensive data and analysis. However, if the cabinet has reason to believe that groundwater withdrawals will be of such location or extent that existing uses will be impaired, the cabinet shall require detailed analysis of the proposed withdrawal's effects. If a permitted groundwater withdrawal adversely effects previously permitted groundwater users or domestic water supplies, the withdrawal shall be reduced to a rate that no longer causes adverse effects or all affected users shall be provided with sufficient water to meet their needs.
