154
When this water right is not capable of being maintained using existing flows, Idaho Code Section 42-1507 authorizes the Idaho Water Resource Board to maintain the flow through operation of the water supply bank authorized by Section 42-1761 through 42-1765, Idaho Code, and by other available methods consistent with Idaho Law.
147
The place of use of the minimum stream flow water right is stream reach from the beginning quantification point to the ending quantification point identified above.
148
The purpose of this instream flow is to preserve fish and wildlife, scenic, and recreational values and to protect and enhance water quality.
150
While the instream flows are to be decreed in cubic feet per second (cfs), such quantities are intended to reflect the percentages of the unimpaired exceedence flows at the quantification point described in this water right. The unimpaired exceedence flows were estimated using regional regression equations developed by the United States Geological Service. Upon further finding and order of the director that gaging stations are required to maintain the approved minimum flows under this right, such measuring devices shall be permanently installed and maintained as specified by the director. If actual flow data become available, the quantities in this water right will be adjusted as necessary to give effect to the exceedence assumption stated above. Such adjustments do not result in a material change to the water right and are not subject to the notice and hearing requirements set forth in this partial decree, but shall comply with the notice and consultation requirements of Section 42-1507(4), Idaho Code.
027
Use of water under this right shall be non-consumptive.
144
This water right shall be subordinated to all future DCMI uses.
152
The Idaho Water Resource Board, upon receiving a request, or upon its own initiative, may petition the Director for an amendment to this water right after complying with the notice and consultation procedures of Section 42-1507(4), Idaho Code. 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 notify 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.
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.
153
This water right was established by Chapter 150, 2005 Idaho Session Laws (codified as Section 42-1507, Idaho Code). In accordance with such law, this water right will not become effective until the governor issues a proclamation certifying that all conditions for the effectiveness of the Snake River Water Rights Agreement of 2004 have been satisfied.
151
There are no diversions associated with this minimum stream flow water right. The quantification point for this instream flow water right is at the above (End of Streamflow) location.
