2. Land subsidence or fissuring is endangering property or potential groundwater storage capacity.
3. Use of groundwater is resulting in actual or threatened water quality degradation.
B. An active management area designated pursuant to this section may include more than one groundwater basin but shall not be smaller than a groundwater basin or include only a portion of a groundwater basin, except for the regional aquifer systems of northern Arizona.
