1. (a) All users of ground water in amounts exceeding one hundred thousand (100,000) gallons per day in an area designated by the department as a restricted use area shall file with the department a certified statement of the average daily amount of ground water used before the designation of the area as a restricted use area. The statement:

   1. (1) shall be filed within ninety (90) days after the adoption of an order by the department designating the area as a restricted use area; and
   2. (2) must be on a form furnished by the department upon request.

2. (b) Failure to file a certified statement as required by subsection (a) invalidates a user's prior claim to the withdrawal and use of ground water exceeding one hundred thousand (100,000) gallons per day without having secured a permit from the department under this chapter.
