X35
Rights 63-161BN and 63-2932 when combined shall not exceed a total diversion rate of 2.82 cfs, a total annual maximum diversion volume of 634.5 af at the field headgate, and the irrigation of 141 acres.
R65
This right when combined with all other rights shall provide no more than 0.02 cfs per acre nor more than 4.5 afa per acre at the field headgate for irrigation of the lands above.
943
The right holder shall make full beneficial use of all surface water available to the right holder for irrigation of lands within the authorized place of use for this right. The right holder may divert ground water under this right to irrigate land with appurtenant surface water rights when the surface water supply is not reasonably sufficient to irrigate the place of use for this water right or is not available due to drought, curtailment by priority, or the seasonal startup and shutoff or maintenance schedule for canal company or irrigation district deliveries. The right holder shall not divert ground water for irrigation purposes under this right if use of the surface water supply is intentionally discontinued or reduced (for example abandoned, forfeited, sold, disallowed by court decree, or leased to the Water Supply Bank), or is not deliverable due to non-payment of annual assessments, without an approved transfer pursuant to Idaho Code § 42-222 or other Department approval.
Diversion under this right and Right No. 63-161BN is subject to all prior water rights and is subject to delivery by the watermaster of Water District No. 63, Boise River and tributaries.
The water right holder is required to install and maintain totalizing measuring devices subject to approval by the Department which record diversions under this right and Right No. 63-161BN, and to maintain records of these diversions. The measuring devices and records are subject to inspection by the watermaster or the Department upon request, and shall be provided to the Department and the Watermaster no later than December 1 of each year.
The primary source of water for the irrigation of up to 141 acres of the Surprise Valley Development is to be provided from Boise River water via Water Right No. 63-161BN. This water right is to be utilized to the maximum extent during periods of time when it is available for diversion. The water right holder shall develop and maintain operational storage in the amount of 4.0 to 6.0 acre-feet to enable this water right to be used to satisfy diurnal fluctuations in rate of flow demands.
The secondary source of water for the irrigation of up to 141 acres of the Surprise Valley Development is to be provided by ground water via Water Right No. 63-2932 (this right). This water right is to be utilized only during periods when (1) full diversion under Water Right No. 63-161BN is inadequate to provide sufficient water to satisfy the irrigation requirments, and (2) during periods not to exceed seven (7) days per irrigation season when the surface water system becomes unoperational due to an unanticipated mechanical failure. The total annual diversion volume under Right No. 63-2932 (this right) shall not exceed 14.0 acre feet.
T07
The right holder shall accomplish the change authorized by this transfer within one year of the date of this approval.
T08
Failure of the right holder to comply with the conditions of this transfer is cause for the Director to rescind approval of the transfer.
T19
Pursuant to Section 42-1412(6), Idaho Code, this water right is subject to such general provisions necessary for the definition of the rights or for the efficient administration of water rights as may be determined by the Snake River Basin Adjudication court at a point in time no later than the entry of the final unified decree.
