Each trust of a separate donor origin shall be treated as a separate entity and the administration of property under trust shall not represent a controlling interest on the part of the trust officer.(4) "Department" means the department of ecology of the state of Washington.(5) "Application", "permit" and "public waters" shall have the meanings attributed to these terms in chapters 90.03 and 90.44 RCW.(6) "Public water entity" means any public or governmental entity with authority to administer and operate a system to supply water for irrigation of agricultural lands.(7) "Transfer" means a transfer, change, or amendment to part or all of a water right authorized under RCW 90.03.380, 90.03.390, or 90.44.100 or chapter 90.80 RCW.(8) "Withdraw" means to withdraw groundwater or to divert surface water.[ 2001 c 237 § 24; 1979 c 3 § 4 (Initiative Measure No. 59, approved November 8, 1977).]NOTES:Finding—Intent—Severability—Effective date—2001 c 237: See notes following RCW 90.82.040.Intent—2001 c 237: See note following RCW 90.66.065.
