OAC 785:30-5-4 – A provisional temporary permit is a nonrenewable permit granted by and at the discretion of the Executive Director. The permit is only effective for a period not to exceed 90 days and is subject to cancellation at any time during its term. No hearings are held, no application notice or data is published and no notice to surface estate owners is required on applications for this type of permit. The application may be approved and the permit may be issued summarily and immediately upon administrative approval where it appears from the verified application and supporting material filed therewith that the permit issuance conditions described in 82 O.S. 1981, Sections 1020.9 and 1020.11(D) are satisfied and that wells spacing distances, as specified in OAC 785:30-3-6, and other conditions as may be required by the Board, are met. On applications in which the applicant is not the surface owner of the lands upon which the water well is to be located, the applicant must satisfy the requirements of 82 O.S. 1981, Section 1020.11(D) and OAC 785:30-3-1(b). Provisional temporary permit holders are required to notify the Board in writing within 30 days after expiration of their permit as to the disposition of the well covered under the permit. Issuance of a provisional temporary permit does not give the permit holder any permanent right to use groundwater.
