Abstract

This Decree amends Decree No. 32.955 regulating Law No. 6.134 on the preservation of natural groundwater deposits in the State of São Paulo. Amendments establishing new requirements and restrictions do not apply to wells destined for uses exempted from granting, as defined in the legislation and the resulting regulation, but are subject to the supervision of accredited public agents, regarding sanitary conditions and security. It is up to the Environmental Company of the State of São Paulo - CETESB to prevent and control the pollution of groundwater, for which it will maintain the indispensable services. In the interests of conservation, protection and maintenance of the natural balance of groundwater, water supply services, or geotechnical or geological reasons, it is necessary to restrict the abstraction and use of such waters, the Department of Water and Energy Electric - DAEE and the Environmental Company of the State of São Paulo - CETESB will propose to the State Council of Water Resources the delimitation of areas destined to be controlled.
