     3    8.  In  any  county  with  two  million or more residents, any permits
     4  issued by the department for public supply wells accessing a sole source
     5  aquifer shall be deemed invalid if the public supply well has  not  been
     6  used  for  the  withdrawal and public supply of water for over two years
     7  and such well or wells shall be deemed abandoned. Prior to  the  reissu-
     8  ance  or renewal of any such permit for water withdrawal, the department
     9  shall commence a full  review  under  the  state  environmental  quality
    10  review  act.  Any  such  permit  which  has not been renewed or reissued
    11  subsequent to such review shall be deemed  invalid  upon  the  effective
    12  date  of  the  chapter of the laws of two thousand seventeen which added
    13  this subdivision.
    14    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately and  shall  apply  to  any
    15  such  public  supply  well that has not been used for the withdrawal and
    16  public supply of water for over two years on the effective date of  this
    17  act.
