for the requested waiver; Response: A water supply plan is not applicable in this case, as the proposed project will not be served by a water supply entity. The application includes

status. 2. The project size, complexity, anticipated impacts, or other factors support a waiver; Response: The proposed project will have no impacts on existing water supplies, as described
above. 3. The waiver does not compromise a proper and complete review; and Response: A proper and complete review of a produced water treatment facility would not be compromised without
a water supply plan. Details included in the water rights deeds and nontributary groundwater formation details support a proper and complete review of this application. 4. The information
is not material to describing the proposal or demonstrating compliance with approval criteria. Response: Based upon the information described above, a water supply plan is not material
