Spe­cial water use is an impor­tant com­po­nent of enter­prise activ­i­ty that sig­nif­i­cant­ly affects var­i­ous aspects of its oper­a­tions, as the avail­abil­i­ty of an appro­pri­ate per­mit con­tributes to the func­tion­ing of the enter­prise as a whole.

Spe­cial water use is defined as the use of water bod­ies to pro­vide water resources not only for the needs of the pop­u­la­tion, but also for indus­tri­al, eco­nom­ic, and tech­ni­cal pur­pos­es through water extrac­tion facil­i­ties.

Spe­cial water use requires obtain­ing a per­mit, which becomes manda­to­ry once an enter­prise begins using water in vol­umes exceed­ing 5 m³ per day. The pro­ce­dure for obtain­ing such a per­mit has been sim­pli­fied and con­vert­ed into an elec­tron­ic format.It should be not­ed that the first step is sub­mit­ting an appli­ca­tion for the issuance of the per­mit on the web­site of the State Agency of Water Resources, togeth­er with all the nec­es­sary attach­ments spec­i­fied by the agency. The sub­mit­ted infor­ma­tion is care­ful­ly reviewed, and if the doc­u­ments ful­ly com­ply with legal require­ments, the per­mit is issued with­in 30 cal­en­dar days. Obtain­ing a spe­cial water use per­mit is an impor­tant tool for ensur­ing the law­ful use of water resources by your busi­ness. How­ev­er, this process requires atten­tion to detail and com­pli­ance with applic­a­ble reg­u­la­tions and stan­dards. There­fore, it is advis­able to seek assis­tance from pro­fes­sion­als in this field to ensure the suc­cess­ful acqui­si­tion of a water use per­mit.

It should be not­ed that when sub­mit­ting well pass­ports issued before 2016, their re-reg­is­tra­tion is not required. In addi­tion, if a valid spe­cial water use per­mit already exists, in the event of the pur­chase of an enter­prise, such per­mits are auto­mat­i­cal­ly reis­sued for the remain­ing valid­i­ty peri­od. The valid­i­ty peri­od of a spe­cial water use per­mit ranges from 3 to 25 years, with the pos­si­bil­i­ty of exten­sion depend­ing on the applicant’s pref­er­ences and com­pli­ance with all reg­u­la­to­ry require­ments.

A fee for spe­cial water use is charged based on the actu­al vol­ume of water used by the enter­prise.

To include data in a spe­cial water use per­mit, respon­si­ble spe­cial­ists must be assigned to the facil­i­ties to main­tain water use records in a log­book, since these records serve as the basis for cal­cu­lat­ing rent pay­ments. This is a high­ly respon­si­ble task because the same spe­cial­ist is also respon­si­ble for ensur­ing com­pli­ance with san­i­tary pro­tec­tion zone require­ments and pre­vent­ing waste­water con­t­a­m­i­na­tion of ground­wa­ter.

If waste­water dis­charges into water bod­ies occur, analy­ses must be car­ried out and attached to the sub­mit­ted doc­u­men­ta­tion. It is also impor­tant to install a meter­ing device to mon­i­tor whether water use exceeds the lim­its spec­i­fied in the per­mit. Sub­mis­sion of well log­books in paper for­mat is manda­to­ry, since elec­tron­ic for­mats do not ful­ly guar­an­tee reli­a­bil­i­ty. How­ev­er, in order to ensure the pos­si­bil­i­ty of doc­u­ment recov­ery, it is advis­able to store all ver­sions of the pass­ports and relat­ed doc­u­men­ta­tion.

When sub­mit­ting doc­u­ments, orig­i­nals are gen­er­al­ly not pro­vid­ed; they may only be used to cer­ti­fy copies made from them. There­fore, all activ­i­ties relat­ed to water use must com­ply with leg­is­la­tion and the intend­ed pur­pose of the per­mits, as vio­la­tions may lead not only to admin­is­tra­tive lia­bil­i­ty but also to crim­i­nal respon­si­bil­i­ty. Thus, con­trolled and respon­si­ble con­sump­tion of water resources is one of the key tasks of any enter­prise.

Obtain­ing a spe­cial water use per­mit is a cru­cial stage for many enter­pris­es and orga­ni­za­tions that require the use of water resources in their activ­i­ties. This process can be com­plex and time-con­sum­ing, but with the right approach it can be man­aged effi­cient­ly and smooth­ly.
