Use of water under this right shall be non-consumptive.
Use of water under this right shall recognize and allow the continued beneficial diversion of water for irrigation or other purposes under any prior existing water right established by diversion and application to beneficial use or by an application, permit, or license on file or issued by the Director under the provisions of Chapter 2, Title 42, Idaho Code, with a priority of water right date earlier than May 13, 1993, the priority date of this right.
Upon a future finding and order of the Director that gauging stations are required to maintain the approved minimum lake level, such measuring devices shall be permanently installed and maintained as specified by the Director.
This right establishes the minimum lake level of Bear Lake at 5902.0 feet.
Bear Lake is located within T15S, R43E; T15S, R44E; T16S, R43E; and T16S, R44E.
The location described as the point of diversion is the approximate location of the Lifton pumps at the Bear Lake outlet. The Director retains jurisdiction, as described below, to review and amend any and all parameters of this right. The Board, upon receiving a request, or upon its own initiative, may petition the Director for an amendment to the right. The petition must set forth any significant change in circumstances and evidence of the public interest supporting the proposed amendment. The Director will notify the general public and specific persons or known interested parties of the proposed change, and conduct a hearing for the purpose of determining whether the right should be amended in the public interest. The burden of proof at the hearing shall be upon the persons or parties seeking the amendment to establish that the amendment of the right would be in the public interest.
