for or anticipates withdrawing, as the case may be, and the withdrawals result in detrimental effects to the environment or human health. (F) Nothing in this chapter prohibits a registered surface water user from applying for and obtaining a surface water withdrawal permit. Section 49440. (A) An existing surface water withdrawer in the State shall register its surface water use with the department on forms provided by the department no later than January 1, 2001. Upon proper application, the department shall issue a permit for surface water withdrawals to nonconsumptive users. The application must only require that information necessary for the department to determine that the proposed withdrawals will result in no or minimal changes in water quantity. (B) An existing surface water withdrawer already registered with the department is exempt from subsection (A) Permits issued pursuant to this section must identify the surface water withdrawer, the point of withdrawal, the maximum withdrawal amounts, and the point of return. A permit for a nonconsumptive use is subject only to the reporting requirements of Section 49450. (C) A surface water withdrawer shall submit a registration form to the department within thirty days after completing construction of its surface water intake. Section 49445. (A)(1) A new surface water withdrawer that owns and operates a licensed impoundment that utilizes water withdrawn from its licensed impoundment and the withdrawals are subject to review and approval of applicable state and federal laws and regulations, including its impoundment licensing authority, shall be issued a surface water withdrawal permit upon proper application. (2) Any other new surface water withdrawer that utilizes water withdrawn from a licensed impoundment shall be issued a surface water withdrawal permit upon proper application in accordance with the criteria contained in this chapter. If this new surface water withdrawer has been issued a license, permit, or certification through a state or federal process that reviewed criteria substantially similar to some or all of the surface water withdrawal criteria contained in this chapter, then the application for the new surface water withdrawal is only required to address the criteria not addressed when the new surface water withdrawer was issued a license, permit, or certification through a state or federal process.
