Waiver of rights to return flow credits
Before the beginning of each accounting year on the Colorado river,  the director may consider a request by the secretary of the interior or the secretary's designated representative to waive rights held by this state to return flow credits for Colorado river water to the extent that water is returned to the Colorado river pursuant to a permit issued to the secretary under section 45-547. The director may grant the request on an annual basis,  on behalf of this state,  if all of the following apply:
1. The secretary holds a permit issued under section 45-547.
2. The secretary will use the water added to the Colorado river as a portion of the national obligation to provide replacement water for the specific purposes of replacement of the reject stream from the Yuma desalting plant,  and of any Wellton-Mohawk drainage water bypassed to the Santa Clara slough to satisfy the requirements of minute 242 of the international boundary and water commission for the United States and Mexico that was concluded pursuant to the Mexican water treaty of February 3,  1944.
