MODIFICATIONS TO CHAPTER 6
INDUSTRIAL CONSERVATION PROGRAM
THIRD MANAGEMENT PLAN
TUCSON ACTIVE MANAGEMENT AREA
The following are modifications to Chapter 6, “Industrial Conservation Program,” of the management plan for the Tucson Active Management Area for the third management period. References are to Attachment No. 1 to the Final Order of Adoption dated December 13, 1999. Language added to an existing section is shown in upper case letters. Language deleted from an existing section is over stricken. Where no change is made to an existing subsection or paragraph, “No change” is indicated.
Section 6-202
Section 6-202 of the Industrial Conservation Requirements and Monitoring and Reporting Requirements for All Industrial Users in Chapter 6 is modified to read as follows:
“6-202. Conservation Requirements
Beginning on January 1, 2002 or upon commencement of water use, whichever is later, and continuing thereafter until the first compliance date for any substitute conservation requirement in the Fourth Management Plan, an industrial user shall comply with the following requirements:
1.[No change]
2.[No change]
3.[No change]
- [No change]
5.Do not serve or use groundwater for the purpose of watering landscaping plants planted on or after January 1, 2002 within any publicly owned right-of-way of a highway, street, road, sidewalk, curb, or shoulder that is used for travel in any ordinary mode, including pedestrian travel, unless the plants are listed in Appendix 5B, Low Water Use/Drought Tolerant Plant List or any modifications to the list. The director may waive this requirement upon request from the industrial user if a waiver is in the public interestTHE INDUSTRIAL USER DEMONSTRATES TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE DIRECTOR THAT PLANTS LISTED IN APPENDIX 5B, LOW WATER USE/DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANT LIST FOR THE TUCSON ACTIVE MANAGEMENT AREA, OR ANY SUBSEQUENT MODIFICATIONS TO THE LIST, CANNOT GROW IN THE PUBLICLY OWNED RIGHT-OF-WAY BECAUSE OF HIGH ELEVATION OR LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS, SUCH AS A FREEWAY UNDERPASS. This requirement does not apply to any portion of a residential lot that extends into a publicly owned right-of-way.
- Do not serve or use groundwater for the purpose of maintaining water features, including fountains, waterfalls, ponds, water courses, and other artificial water structures, installed after January 1, 2002 within any publicly owned right-of-way of a highway, street, road, sidewalk, curb, or shoulder that is used for travel in any ordinary mode, including pedestrian travel. The director may waive this requirement upon request from the industrial user if a waiver is in the public interest. This requirement does not apply to any portion of a residential lot that extends into a publicly owned right-of-way.”
Reason for modification – This modification changes the criteria for obtaining a waiver from the landscape requirement for publicly owned rights-of-way. Under the new language a wavier will be granted only upon a demonstration that plants listed on the Low Water Use Plant List will not grow in the right-of-way because of high elevation or low-light conditions. The language allowing an industrial user to obtain a waiver from the provision prohibiting the service of groundwater to new water features in publicly owned rights-of-way if the waiver is in the public interest was deleted because the Department determined that such a waiver would not be appropriate under any circumstances.
Section 6-901
Section 6-901 of the Industrial Conservation Requirements and Monitoring and Reporting Requirements for New Large Landscape Users in Chapter 6 is modified to read as follows:
“6-901. Definitions
In addition to the definitions set forth in Chapters 1 and 2 of Title 45 of the Arizona Revised Statutes and section 6-201 of this chapter, unless the context otherwise requires, the following words and phrases used in sections 6-902 and 6-903 of this chapter shall have the following meanings:
1.[No change]
2.[No change]
3.[No change]
4.“New large landscape user” means a non-residential facility that has a water-intensive landscaped area in excess of 10,000 square feet and that has landscaping planted and maintained after January 1, 1990 or bodies of water, other than bodies of water used primarily for swimming purposes, filled and maintained after January 1, 1990, or both. THE FOLLOWING FACILITIES ARE EXCLUDED FROM THIS DEFINITION:Turf-related facilities as defined in section 6-301 of this chapter are excluded from this definitionSCHOOLS, PARKS, CEMETERIES, GOLF COURSES, COMMON AREAS OF HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS and public recreational facilities.
5.[No change]”
Reason for modification – When the Third Management Plan was adopted, the Department intended the conservation requirements for new large landscape users to apply only to large commercial and institutional facilities such as industrial parks, hotels and motels, where the restrictions on water-intensive landscaping would not prohibit the intended use of the facility. The Department did not intend the requirements to apply to schools, parks, cemeteries, golf courses, common areas of housing developments and public recreational facilities. This modification excludes these facilities from the definition of “new large landscape user.”

Reason for modification – The purpose of these modifications was to update Appendix 6A. Four turf-related facilities were removed from the list. They no longer have 10 acres or more of water-intensive landscaping and therefore no longer meet the definition of a turf-related facility. Additionally, two new turf-related facilities were added to the list.
