8. Permittee shall mitigate interference with existing legal uses that was caused in whole or in part by the
permittee's withdrawals, consistent with the approved mitigation plan. As necessary to offset the
interference, mitigation will include pumpage reduction, replacement of the impacted individual's
equipment, relocation of wells, change in withdrawal source, or other means.
Interference to an existing legal use is defined as an impact that occurs under hydrologic conditions equal
to or less severe than a 1 in 10 year drought event that results in the:
(1) Inability to withdraw water consistent with provisions of the permit, such as when remedial structural or
operational actions not materially authorized by existing permits must be taken to address the
interference; or
(2) Change in the quality of water pursuant to primary State Drinking Water Standards to the extent that
the water can no longer be used for its authorized purpose, or such change is imminent.
Permittee shall mitigate harm to existing off -site land uses caused by the permittee's withdrawals, as
determined through reference to the conditions for permit issuance. When harm occurs, or is imminent,
the District will require the permittee to modify withdrawal rates or mitigate the harm. Harm caused by
withdrawals, as determined through reference to the conditions for permit issuance, includes:
(1) Significant reduction in water levels on the property to the extent that the designed function of the
water body and related surface water management improvements are damaged, not including aesthetic
values. The designed function of a water body is identified in the original permit or other governmental
authorization issued for the construction of the water body. In cases where a permit was not required, the
designed function shall be determined based on the purpose for the original construction of the water
body (e.g. fill for construction, mining, drainage canal, etc.)
(2) Damage to agriculture, including damage resulting from reduction in soil moisture resulting from
consumptive use; or
(3) Land collapse or subsidence caused by reduction in water levels associated with consumptive use.
10. Permittee shall mitigate harm to the natural resources caused by the permittee's withdrawals, as
determined through reference to the conditions for permit issuance. When harm occurs, or is imminent,
the District will require the permittee to modify withdrawal rates or mitigate the harm. Harm, as
determined through reference to the conditions for permit issuance includes:
(1) Reduction in ground or surface water levels that results in harmful lateral movement of the fresh
water /salt water interface,
(2) Reduction in water levels that harm the hydroperiod of wetlands,

enforcement action, or revocation.
