In an active management area, a person who holds a certificate of irrigation grandfathered right has the right to use groundwater in excess of the quantity determined pursuant to section 45-465 in order to comply with dust control requirements imposed pursuant to title 49, chapter 3 or any dust control requirements enforced by a county, whether pursuant to authority delegated by this state or pursuant to any independent authority asserted by the county. The amount of additional groundwater that may be used pursuant to this section shall be limited to the quantity required to comply with applicable dust control requirements and shall not be used to supplement the irrigation demands of the farm to which the groundwater is applied.
