Heating and Cooling with Lake Water?

I believe the practice of removing water and returning it at a different temperature is not allowed in this state.(Except if you are nuke plant or power plant apparently).I have the Merrimack River right next to my mill building in Manchester and we have discussed this many times.As a matter of fact,with this heat we were talking about it yesterday.As far as I know,you are allowed to drill wells to use the btu's for heating/cooling.I think the payback is pretty cost prohibitive though.
