020 The diversion and use of water described in Transfer 76075 may be subject to additional limitations agreed to by the protestant(s) and the right holder under a separate agreement identified as Instrument No. 212995 that was filed with Teton County on September 2, 2010 ("agreement") to which the Department is not a party and which may be enforceable by a court of law.
Use of water for filling ponds under this water right shall not occur prior to May 15 in any year except as described in the agreement and authorized by the Water District 01 Watermaster when other rights would not be injured.
Aesthetic Storage, Recreation Storage and Irrigation Storage uses are for a series of ponds located within the service area of the Grand Teton Canal Company.
219 Right 22-277A authorizes diversion of water to be used for the initial fill or single annual refill of the ponds authorized to be developed under the water right and for the replacement of losses caused by evaporation from the reported ponds.
In the approval conditions of Transfer 76075 pertaining to this right, the term "mitigation" refers to the change in nature of use from irrigation use to irrigation storage, recreation storage and aesthetic storage uses under this right. Mitigation from another water right or water source is not required.
The right holder shall provide mitigation for every pond that cannot be filled within a 24-hour period by the amount of water available under the shares of Grand Teton Canal Company stock associated with the property on which the pond is located. Mitigation shall consist of a reduction in the number of acres irrigated under this water right. This right does not authorize more than 500 acres committed for mitigation purposes in any given year.
221 To eliminate seepage losses, the right holder shall ensure that an impermeable liner is installed and maintained in all ponds that require mitigation developed under this right.
On or before November 15 of each year the right holder shall submit to the department a report that includes the following information about the water diverted to storage in connection with this right: 1. Pond Information for every pond receiving water under this water right including pond name, pond ID number, specific location, type, surface area in acres, capacity in acre-feet and type of lining. 2. Grand Teton Canal Company Shareholder Information including owner name, stock certificate number(s) and total shares. 3. Mitigation Requirements including the amount of water needed for the initial fill or single annual refill of each pond (identified separately) and for annual evaporation expressed in acre-feet. 4.
