A. Temporary construction dewatering activities shall be limited to the following within the Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas (defined in RZC 21.64.050.A):

1. The rate at which groundwater may be captured, pumped, or removed from the development site shall be limited to 5,500 gallons per minute or less; and

2. The duration of temporary construction dewatering at a site shall be limited to a maximum of one year, measured cumulatively from the first date of dewatering activity; and

3. The depth of temporary construction dewatering allowed below the seasonal high groundwater elevation shall be limited to a maximum depth of nine feet.

B. If incentives are available within RZC that would allow development to be above ground and thereby avoid dewatering within the Critical Aquifer Recharge Area, then dewatering will be limited to elevator pits, crane footings, or utilities only. (Ord. 3093 § 2, 2022).
