(KLZA)-- The Nemaha Natural Resources District will hold a public hearing at 6:00 tonight at the office headquarters at Tecumseh regarding proposed changes to our groundwater quantity rules and regulations.

An informal question and answer session will precede the hearing beginning at 5:00 p.m. for those wanting to learn more about the changes.

At 6:00 testimony will be received from anyone wishing to enter their comments into the official record. Following the hearing, the NRD board of directors will meet next week on Thursday, February 13, to review testimony and consider approval of the changes.

The changes and additions to the rules will address well spacing, well permit application requirements, agricultural irrigation water transfers, and the identification of five principle aquifer regions.
