It is unclear about the scope of County involvement, because the scope of the project is undefined. From the rumors I have heard, and the presentations I have seen from the group proposing the project, at minimum a SLUP will be required for the siting of the plant (location / parcel not yet identified), necessary pipelines to transmit water from drill holes back to plant and back to injection wells, and for the individual extraction and injection wells. It is important to note that none of the specific parcels or locations have been identified, so no application can be filed until that occurs.

As for a 1041, it depends on the amount of water use needed. All indications are that a Chapter 3 1041 permit will be required. Since location and scope are not defined, it is not clear whether a permit under Chapter 9 will be required.

State oversight will be involved at least as related to water rights and well permitting. The Fed appears to have some involvement related to mineral (energy) extraction. This is a complex, evolving project, and it is difficult to identify the specific regulatory agency involvement levels.
