Condtions
This right authorizes generation of power using water which has been diverted from the Snake River under other existing water rights and delivered into the Milner Gooding Canal for other purposes pursuant to other water rights. It does not convey any authority to require or demand the diversion of water from the Snake River into the Milner Gooding Canal.
171
The appropriator shall exercise this right in a manner that recognizes the historic practice that the use of water for power generation is incidental to the rights of others to the use of water for other purposes. The appropriator shall not make a delivery call for hydropower generation except as against junior hydropower rights.
004
This right does not grant any right-of-way or easement across the land of another.
027
Use of water under this right shall be non-consumptive.
R22
The rights for the use of water confirmed in this license shall be junior and subordinate to all rights for the use of water other than hydropower, within the State of Idaho that are initiated later in time than the priority of this right and shall not give rise to any right or claim against any future rights for the use of water, other than hydropower, within the State of Idaho initiated later in time than the priority of this right.
R05
Use of water under this right will be regulated by a watermaster with responsibility for the distribution of water among appropriators within a water district. At the time of this approval, this water right is within State Water District No.01.
915
The term of this water right license shall run concurrently with energy sales agreement IPUC Case number IPC-E-15-24, approved by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, which expires on October 8, 2036. Prior to the expiration of the term, the Director may issue an order canceling all or any part of the use authorized herein, may establish a new term, or may revise, delete, or add conditions under which the subsequent water right license may be exercised. The order shall take effect on the date the current term expires. If the Director does not issue such an order, the term shall automatically extend to a length equal to the prior term and any prior conditions on the subsequent water right license shall remain in effect.
025
This right does not constitute Idaho Public Utilities Commission or Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval that may be required.
162
Power generation is at the North Gooding Main Hydro Power Plant.
