These proposed rules amend Edwards Aquifer Authority rules -- Ch. 707 ( Procedure before the Authority) and Ch. 711 (Groundwater Withdrawals) -- as they relate to regulating the transfer of Edwards groundwater withdrawal rights from west to east across the Cibolo Creek.  These proposed rules restrict the transfer of groundwater rights from withdrawal points located west of Cibolo Creek to withdrawal points located east of Cibolo Creek, except under certain scenarios for a specific period of time. These rules, as proposed, are based on the most recent scientific data available concerning the flow of groundwater and the impacts of increased pumping near the Comal and San Marcos springs.

Control of Fires on the Recharge Zone (Public Hearing to be Scheduled)
