The Arkansas Department of Agriculture announced the next Water Well Construction Committee (“Committee”) will meet tomorrow (August 31st).
The Committee will meet at 9:00 a.m. at the Arkansas Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Division office in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The Arkansas Water Well Construction Act was created by the Arkansas General Assembly in 1969 to protect the general health, safety, and welfare of Arkansans by regulating water well construction and pump installations. The statute and rules promulgated by the Arkansas Water Well Commission (now the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission) are stated to provide a framework for the proper development of underground water in an efficient, orderly, sanitary, reasonable, and safe manner.
In 2023 the Arkansas Water Well Construction Commission was abolished and its power and duties transferred to the Arkansas Natural Resources Committee.
Agenda items for the August 31st meeting include:
- Committee responsibilities
- Consideration of applicants
- Inspector report
- Enforcement matters
