It is insane to think that a company is actually asking permission to remove water from the ground and sell it for a much greater cost, with many more environmental damages tack on to it as well. It should be the job of the controlling board to assure that this request is taken seriously, and denied, for I cannot believe this was a thought that could even cross someones mind.
