Notice of Public Hearing on Management Plan

 

The Hemphill County Underground Water Conservation District provides for the conservation, preservation, protection, recharging, and prevention of waste of the groundwater, and of groundwater reservoirs or their subdivisions within the defined boundary of the District. This is achieved through rules, education, programs, District-provided services, and through mutual cooperation of local, state, and federal agencies. The Hemphill County Underground Water Conservation District issues water well permits, collects groundwater information, performs water quality analyses, provides well system tests and other services. It is the belief of the District's residents and the Board of Directors that groundwater is best managed locally through a groundwater conservation district. This belief is realized by the adoption and implementation of a management plan outlininng the goals, methods, and procedures utilized in the management of the groundwater rescources of the District. This management plan provides a better understanding of the goals and objectives of the District by the residents and promotes cooperation in its implementation.
