Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) A
				person who files a petition or a request for release from priority shall pay to
				the board a filing fee for each water right application, permit or license
				covered by the petition or request in accordance with this section.
(1) For purposes of calculating the filing
				fee, a petition to change one or more terms of a single application, permit,
				license, or other water right shall be considered a single petition, provided
				that action can be taken on the changes simultaneously, except that a petition
				for an extension of time shall be considered a separate petition, subject to a
				separate fee, from a petition to change one or more other terms in a water
				right. A petitioner requesting changes to more than one application, permit,
				license, or other water right shall file a separate petition or petitions for
				each water right and a filing fee shall be required for each petition, except
				as provided in paragraph (A)(v). A separate filing fee shall be required for
				each change petition subsequently filed on a water right that is already the
				subject of a pending petition for change.
(A)
				Except as provided in subparagraphs (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), the fee for
				a petition to change the terms of an application, permit or license shall be as
				follows. The fee shall be a minimum of $1,000. If the total annual amount of
				diversion sought by the pending application or authorized by the permit or
				license, as calculated in accordance with section
				1066, is greater than 10
				acre-feet, then the petitioner shall pay an additional $0.40 for each acre-foot
				in excess of 10 acre-feet. The total fee shall not exceed $20,000.
(i) The fee for a petition for change
				pursuant only to Water Code section
				1707 shall be
				$850.
(ii) The fee for a change
				petition involving a transfer of water pursuant to Water Code section
				382,
				1435,
				1701,
				1725, or
				1735 shall be
				$2,000, plus $0.50 for each acre-foot that the petitioner seeks to transfer in
				excess of 10 acre-feet. The fee shall be based on the maximum amount of water
				proposed to be transferred annually, not the amount of water proposed to be
				transferred over the entire term of the transfer. The total fee shall not
				exceed $648,914.
(iii) The fee for
				a petition for extension of time shall be $1,000 plus $0.40 per acre-foot
				authorized for diversions in excess of 10 acre feet, or $20,000, whichever is
				less; provided that the fee for a petition for extension of time filed in
				conjunction with a petition for another type of change for the same right shall
				be 50 percent of the fee otherwise applicable pursuant to this
				subparagraph.
(iv) The fee for a
				petition for issuance of separate permits or licenses pursuant to section
				836, where there are no changes to
				the authorized point of diversion, place of use, purpose of use, or any other
				material term of the permit or license other than as necessary for the split,
				shall be $850.
(v) The fee for one
				or more petitions for temporary change to permits or licenses needed to
				implement a watershed-wide agreement to provide regional sharing of water
				diversions of up to 50,000 acre-feet across a watershed shall be $1,000. If a
				petitioner files the petition or petitions concurrently with a separate
				petition for temporary change related to one or more of the same permits or
				licenses, the fee pursuant to this paragraph shall be waived.
