Conditions

Code Condtions
027 Use of water under this right shall be non-consumptive.
X35 Rights 11-290 and 11-7219 when combined shall not exceed a total diversion rate of 70 cfs.
X36 Right 11-290 is also diverted through the point(s) of diversion described above.
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. 11.
R43 At each authorized point of diversion the right holder shall maintain a measuring device and lockable controlling works of a type approved by the Department in a manner that will provide the watermaster suitable control of the diversion.
When diverting and using water in connection with this right, the right holder shall maintain an instantaneous minimum bypass flow of 5.0 cfs past the point of diversion on Georgetown Creek. Until a fish passage structure is installed at the point of diversion on Georgetown Creek, the bypass flow shall be measured at the crested weir located within the SWNE, Section 4, T11S, R44E, B.M., approximately 150 to 200 feet downstream from the point of diversion, or at a point as close as possible to the location of the crested weir if the weir is removed or damaged, or at the location of the replacement measuring device if the crested weir is replaced. When a fish passage structure is installed at the point of diversion on Georgetown Creek, the 5.0 cfs bypass flow shall be measured in the fish passage structure from April 15 through July 15 and shall be measured in the fish passage structure or at the location of the weir or replacement measuring device as described above during the period July 16 through April 14. Deviations from the measurement locations shall be approved in advance in writing by the Department. In determining whether to authorize an alternative measurement location, the Department will consult the USDI Bureau of Land Management and/or the Idaho Department of Fish and Game as the Department deems necessary.
At each measurement location for the bypass flow, the right holder shall maintain a flow measuring device capable of measuring a flow of 5.0 cfs. The right holder shall also maintain a data recorder capable of continuously recording the measured bypass flow. The measuring device(s) and recording device(s) shall be of types approved by the Department.
By January 5 of each year, the right holder shall submit an annual report to Water District 11 documenting the instantaneous minimum bypass flow for the preceding calendar year (January 1 through December 31).
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.
X42 The diversion and use of water for hydropower purposes under this license is subject to review by the Director on or after March 1, 2021. Upon appropriate findings relative to the interest of the public, the Director may cancel all or any part of the use authorized herein and may revise, delete or add conditions under which the right may be exercised.
025 This right does not constitute Idaho Public Utilities Commission or Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval that may be required.
020 The diversion and use of water described in this right may be subject to additional limitations agreed to by the right holder and other parties under separate agreement to which the Department is not a party and which may be enforceable by a court of law.
