151.112 Planning process for management and development of water resources. (1) The cabinet shall develop a comprehensive and systematic planning process for the long-range management and orderly development of the Commonwealth's water <br>resources. The planning process shall generate over each biennium a plan for the <br>implementation of specific goals and management objectives for the cabinet to <br>achieve in meeting the Commonwealth's water needs. The biennial plan shall serve <br>as the basis for the cabinet's budgeting process in allocating resources to the state's <br>water resource programs. The planning process shall be developed to: <br>(a) Protect, conserve, develop, and utilize the water resource in a manner consistent with the Commonwealth's duties for management of natural <br>resources, the public's right to clean water, and the preservation of the natural, <br>scenic, cultural, historic, and aesthetic values of the environment; (b) Provide a coordinated framework for cooperation among federal, interstate, state, and local government agencies in the planning and management of <br>water resources, in a manner consistent with KRS Chapter 147 and KRS <br>224.10-100(13); (c) Be both anticipatory of future needs and reactive to problems; <br>(d) Provide for public involvement in the establishment of the comprehensive and systematic planning process, in plan development and implementation, and <br>the allocation and prioritizing of resources for water resource management <br>and development; and (e) Establish a process for the collection and coordination of data regarding surface and ground water availability and quality, including the presence of <br>point and nonpoint sources of pollution, instream flow information, <br>withdrawal and use information, an assessment of flood damage and storm <br>water management problems, and an identification and assessment of future <br>data needs. (2) The continuous planning process shall include goals and objectives for ground and surface water quantity and quality management in order to assess the effectiveness <br>of current programs in addressing the comprehensive water needs of the <br>Commonwealth and to gauge the need for new or different programs to recommend <br>to the General Assembly for legislation. Effective: July 15, 1986 <br>History: Created 1986 Ky. Acts ch. 367, sec. 2, effective July 15, 1986.
