C18 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.
027 Use of water under this right shall be non-consumptive.
Approval of this minimum stream flow shall not prevent approval of applications for consumptive uses from ground water if the wells are located and constructed to prevent an immediate impact on the river, as determined by the Director.
The approved minimum stream flow shall be subordinate to future domestic, stockwater, municipal, commercial, and industrial development from the Clearwater River and its tributaries, including ground water, for use within the Clearwater River Basin where the domestic and stockwater uses are within the limitations of Section 42-111, Idaho Code.
112 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. 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. The burden of proof at the hearing shall be upon the person or parties seeking the amendment to establish that the amendment of this water right would be 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.
092 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.

The purpose of this minimum stream flow is for the protection of fish and wildlife habitat, aquatic life, and recreational uses.
