Conditions

Code Condtions
Matters Necessary for Definition, Clarification or Administration of the Right: a. The rate of diversion for this water right shall be measured at the head of the Reservation Canal located in SESWNE Twp 1N Rge 37E BM. b. The volume of diversion for this water right shall be measured at the Drop located in SENWSE Sec 13 Twp 2S Rge 36E BM downstream from the point at which Sand Creek empties into the Reservation Canal. c. This right combined with water right nos. 27-11375, 27-02007, and 25-02160 provide the water supply for up to 53,828 acres from the combined water sources but none of the limitations of diversion rate or volume shall be exceeded for this right in providing the water supply. d. The available inflow to the Reservation Canal upstream from the Drop, including Sand Creek, shall be counted as part of this water right up to the demand of the North and Main Canals. The portion of Sand Creek that was used with the control afforded by the Equalizing Reservoir under conditions existing in 1989 shall continue to be used when the Snake River is under regulation by the Snake River Watermaster and will be considered part of this water right. When the Snake River is under regulation by the Snake River Watermaster fifteen percent (15%) of the computed Sand Creek flows, when returned to the Snake River through the Blackfoot River because of lack of control with the present Equalizing Reservoir, shall be considered as natural flow credited to downstream water users and for which no exchange of storage will be required. All of the remaining Sand Creek water not diverted through the Main and North Canals because of the physical limitations of the Equalizing Reservoir, in excess of fifteen percent (15%) up to 50,000 AFY as determined by gaging, when the Snake River is under regulation by the Snake River Watermaster shall be delivered to the North Side Canal Company in exchange for an equal amount of storage water from Palisades or Jackson Lake Reservoirs. The actual storage water from Palisades or Jackson Lake Reservoirs will be released to meet the Snake River diversion requirements of the Tribes that would have been met by Sand Creek. This water shall be deemed the first storage water released from the American Falls Reservoir for the North Side Canal Company.
X27 14,687 present and 8,672 future acres for a total of 23,359 acres within the Reservation.
Annual Volume of Consumptive Use: 60,986 AFY
The Tribes may change the points of diversion and periods of use of this water right provided the change: (1) is to any beneficial use (2) does not exceed the maximum diversion rate not withstanding the period of use (3) does not exceed the annual volume of diversion (4) does not exceed the annual volume of consumptive use, and (5) does not result in an injury to a water right.
The Annual Diversion Volume may increase to 115,000 AFY as (1) future reservation lands are irrigated from this source, or (2) as corresponding amounts of the water rights for the ceded lands of the Fort Hall Irrigation Project are relinquished by the United States. The Diversion Rate may increase to 470 CFS at the same relative rate as the volume.
