The NRD is certifying all irrigated acres in the District. Allowed new irrigated acres may be limited for land within the District's designated Hydrologically Connected Area (HCA). Certification of new irrigated acres outside the HCA must still be completed, even though there are no acreage limitations. Learn more about certification of irrigated acres.
Well Permits
You will not need all of the documents below in order to obtain a well permit. If you are just beginning the permit process, begin at the top of the list, then download other documents as you determine your needs. Contact the NRD with any questions you have during the application process.
Landowners throughout the District may take advantage of NRD cost-sharing programs based on known best management practices that promote ground water quality and quantity. Whether your land is eligible for certain programs and at what cost-sharing rate depends on its location. For help knowing what ground water cost-sharing application you need, see our ground water cost-sharing page.
