Great Basin Water Network Statement of Concerns with AB 298 - 1st Reprint

Summary:
• AB 298 Redefines "Environmental Soundness" to Permit Succession of Species and Fails to Protect Existing Plant and Wildlife Communities in Interconnected Groundwater Basins


• AB 298's 3M Plan Provisions Are Unnecessary, Would Drastically Weaken Protections for Existing Rights and the Environment, and Remove Judicial Review


• AB 298 Improperly Prioritizes "Mitigation Water", Presumes Such Water Will be Available, and Provides No Protection for Existing Rights or Resources Impacted by the Withdrawal of Mitigation Water


• AB 298 Would Profoundly and Retroactively Alter Nevada Water Law
