Rules and Regulations

Welcome to the Rules and Regulations governing the Nebraska Department of Water, Energy, and Environment. This segment of the Nebraska Administrative Code is maintained in cooperation with the Nebraska Secretary of State, the official repository for the rules and regulations of all state agencies in Nebraska.

Every effort is being made to make these rules and regulations complete and accurate. Nevertheless, certain regulations currently may not be available in a digitized format. These will be added when they become available. Although the text of the regulations on the Internet is to the best of our knowledge accurate, we recommend that the Internet version be used for research and informational purposes only.

For legal purposes certified copies of the Nebraska Administrative Code are available through the Nebraska Secretary of State's Office (402-471-2385 or 402-471-2554).

If you have comments on the internet version of the regulations or would like a hard copy of any regulation, please e-mail us at: DWEE.moreinfo@nebraska.gov
