195 Prior to diversion of water under this right, the right holder shall install and maintain a locking controlling works, subject to the approval of the Department, in a manner that will provide suitable control of the diversion.
198 When notified by the Department or by a watermaster with regulatory authority over this right, 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 Department or the watermaster.
115 Prior to the diversion and use of water under this right, the right holder shall install and maintain acceptable measuring device, including data logger, at the authorized point(s) of diversion, in accordance with Department specifications.
To determine whether water can be diverted under this right, the right holder and/or the watermaster shall measure the flows in Big Timber Creek at an existing measuring station near the Townsite of Leadore, located in the NENWNW, Section 31, T16N, R22E. The Department retains jurisdiction to require the right holder to install and maintain additional measuring sites to insure required bypass flows are maintained during diversions under this right.
