Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) As
				  specified in section
				  847 of this title, water rights
				  license holders are required to file reports when requested by the board.
				  Annual reports required under this section are in addition to any specific
				  reporting requirements in a water right license.
(b) Reports of licensee shall be filed
				  annually before February 1 after the close of the twelve month reporting period
				  on forms available at the board's website. Provisional data and information may
				  be used in the report of licensee if final data are not available by the
				  reporting deadline. If provisional streamflow data are used in the water use
				  report, an amended report based on final streamflow data shall be filed within
				  one month of the date the final streamflow data are available. The board may
				  rely upon any report, including a report based on provisional data, until and
				  unless a revised report is filed. A failure to file a licensee report is a
				  violation of license terms.
(c) The
				  annual reports shall include the following information:
(1) A statement affirming compliance or
				  non-compliance with license terms and conditions;
(2) The amount of water diverted;
(3) The purpose(s) for which water is
				  diverted and used. Use information to be provided includes:

				  control, including acres covered;

				  number of persons served, lawn or garden area, etc., and seven digit public
				  water system number or other identifier, if applicable;

				  capacity in kilowatts, megawatts or horsepower;
(I) recreational, including boating, fishing
				  or other water sports;

				  from each point of diversion in each month (or shorter period if otherwise
				  required), including direct diversion amount, amount collected to storage, and
				  the total amount of water diverted during the twelve month reporting period.
				  Each month must contain an entry. If no diversion occurred in a given month, a
				  "0" should be entered.
(6) The
				  maximum rate of diversion achieved at any time during each month (or shorter
				  period if otherwise required), if available;
(7) For licenses, the annual report shall
				  also include the measurement data required to be collected pursuant to section
				  933 of this
				  chapter.
