The Property is subject to the following activity and use limitations: a) The Property shall not be used for residential, child care or school use. b) Extraction and use of the ground water underlying the Property, except for investigation or remediation approved by EPA or NDEQ, is prohibited. c) Any digging, drilling, excavating, constructing, earth moving, or other land disturbing activities that extend beyond the depth of ten feet below ground surface, including any repair, renovation or demolition of existing structures on the Property that extend beyond such a depth, are prohibited without the prior written approval of EPA or NDEQ in order to protect remedial systems and prevent exposure.

Prohibited Groundwater Uses (A)Groundwater pumped from wells within Groundwater Control Area No. 3 shall not be used for any domestic use which may result in human exposures. Such uses include drinking, food preparation, washing, bathing, showering, and other household uses which result in human exposures to contaminated groundwater. Because groundwater from wells within Groundwater Control Area No. 3 may be contaminated and presents a hazard to the health, safety, and welfare of persons exposed to such water, any human consumption or prohibited use of groundwater from wells within Groundwater Control Area No. 3 is a violation of this Article and is declared to be a public nuisance subject to abatement as provided in § 35-91 of this Article. (B) No new well with a design capacity of more than 50 gallons per minute (gpm) may be drilled or installed in Groundwater Control Area No. 3 unless and until the party proposing the well installation has demonstrated, by a hydrogeological study performed by a competent environmental consulting firm, that the operation of the well will not cause the movement of the groundwater contamination or adversely affect the remedial action provided for in the RODs for the Site. Any such hydrological study shall be submitted to EPA for review and approval prior to well installation. (C) This Section on Prohibited Groundwater Uses shall not prohibit uses of groundwater pumped from wells within Groundwater Control Area No. 3 which do not result in human exposure to contaminated groundwater, including, but not limited to, groundwater monitoring wells, EPA or NDNR remediation wells, wells that produce 50 gpm or less for dewatering purposes, wells used for non-contact cooling water for industrial, commercial or residential uses, or wells used for watering vegetation not used for human consumption. Discharges from dewatering wells must be appropriately handled and disposed of in accordance with applicable City, State and Federal laws including National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permits under the Clean Water Act. Well Installation (A) No person shall drill or install a well with a design capacity of more than 50 gallons per minute within Groundwater Control Area No. 3 prior to applying for and obtaining a well permit from the Central Platte Natural Resource District and the City’s Building Department. There shall be a nonrefundable fee in accordance with the City’s Fee Schedule paid to the City’s Building Department contemporaneously with making an application for a well permit. (B) No person may install a well within Groundwater Control Area No. 3 which penetrates two or more water bearing zones unless water-tight casings are installed which conform to the regulations governing water well construction, pump installation, and water well decommissioning standards of the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Regulation and Licensure Division (178 NAC 12, Section 003.11D – Contaminated Water-Bearing Zones).
