Maps required for applications or claims to use the natural
				  flow of streams, use impounded water, to change the point of diversion, or
				  changes in location of use, type of use or type of appropriation shall conform
				  to the following standards:
001.01 For
				appropriations held by individuals.
001.01A
				Certified Digital Orthophotography Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) produced by the
				Department of Natural Resources and certified by USGS using 1999 or newer
				aerial photography shall be used as the base data layer for producing the
				required maps. Compressed Orthophotography Quarter Quadrangles (COQQs) derived
				from the Department of Natural Resources DOQQs may also be used. DOQQs and
				COQQs can be obtained through Department of Natural Resources offices, the
				Department of Natural Resources website or other organizations capable of
				accessing digital information. Maps shall be drawn on an overlay form provided
				by the Department (see Appendix L). An unmarked copy of the aerial photograph
				shall be submitted with the overlay map tracing. The map shall be neat, clean,
				and clear and be drawn with black ink. All words shall be printed. The map
				shall be a true representation of actual conditions and be prepared by a person
				competent in the preparation of maps. If a project map was produced using GIS
				or drawing software such as ArcView, ArcMap or AutoCad, the computer files that
				were used in creating the project map should be provided to the Department of
				Natural Resources along with the map. All files used or generated in the
				creation of the project map should be copied onto recordable compact discs
				(CD-R) or other storage media acceptable to the Department. The CD should be
				labeled using an indelible marker with applicant's name, description of the
				project, date the CD was written, and the person and agency responsible for
				creating the map. Information identifying the year and source of base data
				(aerial photography) that was used in creating the project map should also be
				submitted. The map shall include the following:
001.01A1 The location of all points of
				diversion, power plants, reservoirs, or other major structures.
001.01A2 The alignment of streams, canals or
				supply pipelines. The name of the stream shall be labeled and an arrow used to
				show the direction of the streamflow.
001.01A3 If for irrigation, the area in each
				40-acre government subdivision actually intended to be irrigated shall be shown
				by a crosshatch pattern. The actual number of acres proposed for irrigation
				shall be indicated by a number in each 40-acre subdivision.
001.01A4 Additional drawings shall be
				submitted to show diversion facilities, other than pumps; permanent structures
				such as dams for raising level of water; regulating pits; and ponds or raceways
				used for aquaculture. The drawings shall be legible and neat and be on
				8½-inch by 11-inch white paper or folded to such size. Dimensions,
				elevations and construction materials shall be noted on the drawings.
