Opening Date 06/27/2025
Closing Date 7/11/2025
This position processes routine (e.g., in less complex geological settings and in watersheds with available streamflow) site-specific review (SSR) requests for proposed large quantity withdrawals (LQW) of surface water and groundwater received under Part 327, Great Lakes Preservation, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended. This position interprets available geologic and hydrogeologic information to determine whether proposed LQWs are likely to cause adverse resource impacts (ARI) to nearby rivers and streams. This position creates geological cross-sections and creates and calibrates two-dimensional (2-D) groundwater models in support of SSR requests or other additional data collection efforts to characterize glacial and bedrock geology and surface water/groundwater interactions in response to LQWs. This position conducts compliance reviews for water management areas (WMA) affected by SSR requests. The SSR compliance reviews compare existing LQW registrations, well logs, and annual water use records to verify that existing LQWs are following Part 327 and to determine the current cumulative stream flow depletion status of the affected WMAs. This position assists other Water Use Assessment Unit (WUAU) staff in collecting miscellaneous stream flow measurements.
