The department may require the rehabilitation of existing withdrawal facilities if it finds that the facilities were not constructed or are presently not in accordance with the permit provisions, if any, or the applicable laws and regulations of the department which were in effect at the time of construction of the facilities, and that the withdrawal of waters from such facilities will adversely affect the upper aquifers or upper aquifer zone. The department shall allow a reasonable period for completion of such rehabilitation.
