1. If a project that requires approval under Art. 79 et seq. is located in an area where the groundwater protection zones and areas have only been provisionally designated, and it cannot be ruled out that the project contradicts groundwater protection, the municipal council shall establish a planning zone in accordance with the building law.

2. The responsible authorities, in whose interest the provisional protection zone has been designated, shall examine whether the area can be released from protection. If this is not possible, the procedure required for definitive protection under Art. 71 must be initiated without delay.
