Upon the future finding and order of the Director that gauging stations are required to maintain the approved minimum stream flow such measuring station(s) shall be permanently installed and maintained as specified by the department.
The Director retains jurisdiction, as described below, to review and to 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 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.
This minimum stream flow shall be junior and subordinate to all consumptive use rights diverted from groundwater within the Snake River Aquifer tributary to Thousand Springs, held in trust by the state of Idaho, which may be approved or diverted later in time than the priority of this right to the extent that such uses are within the limits established pursuant to the Swan Falls Agreement, the Idaho State Water Plan and Chapter 2, Title 42, Idaho Code.
This minimum stream flow of 26 cfs is located only within the lower reach of Briggs Creek described as follows: Beginning at a point in Lot 13 (SWNESE) Section 4, T9S, R14E, B.M. where the "braided channels" become one channel and ending where Briggs Creek joins the Snake River Lot 14 Section 4, T9S, R14E, B.M. being a distance of about one-quarter (1/4) mile.
