The purpose of this report is to summarize the technical information related to the refusal of a new groundwater use license application in British Columbia under the Water Sustainability Act (WSA). Two reports were submitted by FLNR as part of the Environmental Assessment Board (EAB) appeal process and in defence of the Water Manager's decision: (1) a Hydrogeology report; and (2) a Water Use Accounting and Environmental Flow Needs report. The EAB upheld the Ministry's decision to refuse a new groundwater licence application on this oversubscribed system based, in part, on the establishment of hydraulic connection between the well and Bessette Creek, the quantification of the impact of the withdrawal, and the water use accounting / environmental flow needs report. This report provides a summary of the technical information provided by the applicant, the subsequent information review and discussions, and the supplemental technical information provided to defend the refusal. The purpose of the report is to provide the public and professional communities with context around the refusal of the water licence application.
