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.
091
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 or issued by the director under the provisions of Chapter 2, Title 42, Idaho Code, with a priority of water right date earlier than the date of priority of this right.
Fifteen (15) cfs of the thirty-five (35) cfs is subordinated to all diversions, including high water or flood water authorized under the Lemhi River basin decree (Lemhi County Case No. 4948).
092
Upon the future finding and order of the director that gauging stations are required to maintain the approved minimum stream flow, the right holder shall permanently install and maintain gauging stations as specified by the department.
The purpose of this minimum stream flow is to provide for the passage of anadromous fish in the authorized river reach.
Use of water under this right shall be non-consumptive.
This minimum stream flow begins at water diversion L-6 on the Lemhi River in the SE1/4, S24, T21N, R22E, B.M., and ends at the confluence of the Lemhi River with the Salmon River near the southwest corner of S32, T22N, R22E, B.M., Lemhi County.

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 water 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.
