Use of water under this right shall be non-consumptive.
This minimum streamflow shall be junior and subordinate to all consumptive use rights diverted from groundwater within the Snake River Aquifer tributary to Crystal Springs held in trust by the State of Idaho, which may be approved or diverted later in time than the priority of this right. Approval of this minimum streamflow right shall not give rise to any right or claim against any future rights to the consumptive use of groundwater held in trust by the State of Idaho initiated 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.
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 the priority of water right date earlier than 3/22/1991.
Upon the future finding and order of the Director that gauging stations are required to maintain the approved minimum flows on Crystal Springs, such measuring devices shall be permanently installed and maintained as specified by the Department.
The combined minimum streamflow for this right and Right 36-08330 shall not exceed 100.0 cfs.
The springs described in the point of diversion are directly beneath and discharge into Crystal Springs Lake.
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.
This minimum stream flow is for recreation, aesthetic, and fish and wildlife habitat purposes.
