If protection zones appear to be excessively large, changes to the protection zones may be considered according to the following procedure:
A. Written Comments For Reconsideration: Submit written comments to the PWSA stating the reasons that the delineated protection zones should be reconsidered.
B. Investigation; Appeal: If the PWSA concurs, it may conduct a new hydrogeologic investigation to address the issues raised by the entity requesting changes to the delineated protection zones. If the PWSA does not agree to conduct a new investigation, the entity requesting changes may appeal to the county pursuant to the requirements set forth in this title. In the event the county orders a new investigation, it shall be paid for by the entity requesting the changes.
C. Findings; New Map: Based upon the results of the new investigation, the planning department may make a determination that the new hydrogeologic investigation is or is not protective. In the alternative, the new hydrogeologic investigation may, in the county's discretion, be submitted to the state division of drinking water for its review. If either the planning department or the division of drinking water finds that the new hydrogeologic investigation is protective, a new map shall be filed showing the smaller protection zones.
