Notify the State
State of Michigan Groundwater Dispute Resolution Process
If a well owner has documentation that their groundwater shortage is not due to a mechanical failure along with strong evidence of a nearby High-Capacity Well* impacting their water availability, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) or the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) will investigate the complaint.
STEPS
- Well owners submits documentation forms (with assistance of Licensed Well Contractor)
- EGLE/MDARD conduct an investigation to determine whether the high-capacity well is negatively influencing groundwater availability
- EGLE/MDARD determine whether well owner is eligible for financial compensation or a specified allocation of water
* A High-Capacity Well is one that is able to pump 70 or more gallons per minute, such as those used for agricultural, commercial, or industrial operations, or those that serve multiple homes. For reference, an average household well pumps are rated between 7-15 gallons per minute.
Notify the County
Ottawa County has developed a Groundwater Reporter to help residents notify County personnel about groundwater issues.
Providing accurate data gives county and local officials the accurate information necessary to monitor that status of groundwater issues and develop groundwater policies. In certain circumstances, the County and its partners may be able to work directly with you and/or your community to develop custom solutions.
