Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

Consider and/or act upon Waha Storage and Transportation, L.P.’s (and/or affiliate Enstor, Inc.’s) Production Permit Renewal pursuant to Rule 11.8. The production permit for 7,729 acre feet per year from the Capitan Reef Aquifer for industrial use for a duration of 5 years was issued on November 16, 2005. They have reported usage of 300 — 350 acre feet annually each year. Manager Paul Weatherby has been in contact with Nick Nicodemus and Mr. Gee with Enstor, and he said that Enstor may need the current permit as is. If a reduction is made to the permit, Enstor understands they can request an increase if needed — another hydrogeological report will not be required. John Dorris made a motion to reduce the permit to 1,000 acre feet. The motion was seconded by M. R. Gonzalez. Motion carried unanimously. Vil Vill Xl PA RK Sr 3 oy)
