This partial decree is subject to such general provisions necessary for the definition of the rights or for the efficient administration of the water rights as may be ultimately determined by the Court at a point in time no later than the entry of a final unified decree. Section 42-1412(6), Idaho Code.
The minimum streamflow established under this right shall be subordinated to out-of-stream stockwater diversions for cattle grazing on allotments contiguous to Shoshone Creek.
Use of water under this right shall recognize and allow the continued beneficial diversion of water under any prior existing water right established by diversion and application to beneficial use or by an application, permit, or license on file issued by the Director under provisions of Chapter 2, Title 42, Idaho Code, with the priority of the water right dated earlier than 10/16/1987.
027
Use of water under this right shall be non-consumptive.
This minimum stream flow begins at the confluence of Shoshone Creek and Hot Creek in the SWSE, S22, T16S, R17E and ends at the Idaho-Nevada state line in Lot 1 (NENE), S35, T16S, R16E.
The purpose of this minimum stream flow is to maintain rainbow, cutthroat, and brown trout habitat.
Upon the future finding and order of the Director that gauging stations are required to maintain the approved minimum flow on Shoshone Creek, such measuring devices shall be permanently intalled as specified by the Department.
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.
The place of use is within the designated stream reach from the beginning point to the ending point described above.
