Conditions

Code Condtions
R05 Use of water under this right may 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. 47O.
R02 A lockable device subject to the approval of the Department shall be maintained on the diverting works in a manner that will provide the watermaster suitable control of the diversion.
198 Upon specific notification by the Department, the right holder shall install and maintain an acceptable measuring device at the authorized point of diversion, in accordance with Department specifications. When notified by the Department, the right holder shall report the amount of water diverted in connection with this right. The report shall be submitted in the manner and frequency specified by the watermaster.
025 This right does not constitute Idaho Public Utilities Commission or Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval that may be required.
R23 The water right confirmed in this license for hydropower purposes shall be junior and subordinate to all rights to the use of water, other than hydropower, within the State of Idaho that are initiated later in time than the priority of this license and shall not give rise to any right or claim against any future rights to the use of water, other than hydropower, within the State of Idaho initiated later in time than the priority of this license.
004 This right does not grant any right-of-way or easement across the land of another.
913 The term of this water right shall run concurrently with FERC Rock Creek 2 Project license 6015 issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which expires on July 31, 2036. The term shall automatically extend to run concurrently with any annual renewals of the project's FERC license. Prior to the issuance of a subsequent or new FERC license for the project, the Director may review the water right license and may issue an order canceling all or any part of the use, establishing a new term, or revising, adding or deleting conditions under which the water right may be exercised. The order shall take effect on the date the current term, as may be extended through annual renewals, expires. If the Director does not issue such an order, the term shall automatically extend to a length equal to the project's subsequent or new FERC license and any prior conditions on the water right license shall remain in effect.
The right holder shall not divert unless a continuous flow of 41 cubic feet per second (cfs) in October, November, February, and March, 31 cfs in December and January, and 82 cfs from April 1 through September 30, is retained in Rock Creek between the diversion structure and the tailrace, as measured immediately downstream from the diversion dam, or the inflow at the diversion, whichever is less.
To insure the required instream flows are being provided, the right holder shall maintain a measuring device or recorder as specified by the Department.
162 Power generation is at the Rock Creek 2 Power Plant.
027 Use of water under this right shall be non-consumptive.
