An application for a permit for a well in any areas not designated as a critical area shall be granted as a matter of course, if the proposed use is beneficial and, if the state engineer finds that the proposed means of diversion and construction are adequate. If the state engineer finds that to grant the application as a matter of course, would not be in public's water interest, then he may deny the application subject to review at the next meeting of the state board of control. If the state engineer shall find that the proposed means of diversion or construction are inadequate, or if the application is otherwise defective, he may return the application for correction. If such correction is not made within ninety (90) days, the state engineer may cancel the application.
