California Code of Regulations › Title 23 - Waters › Division 3 - State Water Resources Control Board and Regional Water Quality Control Boards › Chapter 2.7 - Water Diversion and Use Reports › Article 2 - Declaration of Policy › Section 920 - Supplemental Statements of Water Diversion and Use

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
				  Supplemental statements of water diversion and use shall be filed online
				  through a reports management system accessible through the board's website
				  before each February 1 after the close of the prior twelve month reporting
				  period, or more frequently as directed under section
				  917.
(b) After the board has received an initial
				  statement of water diversion and use as required by Water Code section
				  5101, the board
				  will provide a user name and password to the person required to file
				  supplemental statements of water diversion and use. The electronic supplemental
				  statement form will be pre-populated with current ownership information made
				  available to the board. Failure to receive a notice providing a user name and
				  password does not exempt the filer from the requirement to file a supplemental
				  statement of change. Persons required to file a supplemental statement should
				  notify the board prior to the annual reporting date to request a user name and
				  password if the board has not already provided such information.
(c) Within 30 days following the transfer of
				  a right or claim which is subject to Water Code section
				  5101, either
				  the transferor (previous holder/diverter) or the transferee (new
				  holder/diverter) shall notify the board by completing and electronically
				  submitting the supplemental statement of change form available on the board's
				  website.
(d) Following those thirty
				  days, and for each day thereafter until the supplemental statement of change
				  form is submitted, the transferee (new holder/diverter) may be subject to civil
				  liability up to the maximum allowed pursuant to Water Code section
				  1846.
(e) Following electronic submission of the
				  supplemental statement of change form, the board will send notices of
				  correspondence to the transferee (new holder/diverter). Filing the supplemental
				  statement of change form does not eliminate the requirement to file a
				  supplemental statement of water diversion and use.
(f) The completed supplemental statement form
				  shall include the following information:
(1)
				  The name(s), address(es), and other ownership information for the
				  diverter;

(3) The maximum rate of diversion achieved at

				  and/or storage facility.

				  diverted, as required by chapter 2.8 of division 3 of this title.
(7) The amount of water beneficially used in
				  each month and the total annual amount beneficially used. Each month must
				  contain an entry. If no beneficial use occurred in a given month, a "0" should
