Fox Hills Policy - It is the policy of the Office of the State Engineer, in order to preserve a flowing pressure head in low-lying areas, to restrict industrial access to the Fox Hills-Hell Creek aquifer where other suitable sources are available. The restriction is not a moratorium on future Fox Hills water use, but takes into consideration the quantity of water needed and the proximity of flowing-head wells to the proposed water use.
Unauthorized Use Policy - Due to the increased scrutiny of industrial water sales and the findings of a legislatively mandated performance audit of the Water Appropriation Division, the State Engineer has directed that two primary philosophical goals guide the formation of the consent agreement.
