. If an applicant desires to utilize an existing ditch,
				  pipeline, or other facility established previously by a permit issued by the
				  State Engineer, for the purpose of irrigating additional area or for increased
				  use for other purposes, an application should be submitted to the State
				  Engineer on an Enlargement Application Form {{ Form S.W. 2. The requirements
				  listed previously for filling out original water right application forms (see
				  Section
				  2 of this
				  Chapter) apply also to the Enlargement Application Forms, with the fol-loving
				  exceptions:
a. NAME OF FACILITY TO BE
				ENLARGED -- Identify the enlargement as
"First
Enlargement of the
Model Ditch
" or
"Second
Enlargement of the
Model
				Ditch
" or "
Smith
Enlargement of the
Model Ditch
". Use the same name for the ditch or other
				facility as shown on the records on file in the State Engineer's
				Office.
b. ITEM 5(a) -- "The head
				gate of the facility to be enlarged is located . . . ." -- This information
				must be identical to the current data of record.
c. ITEM 5(b) -- "Said facility has . . . ."
				-- This information must be identical to the current data of record.
d. ITEM 5(c) - "Lands irrigated under said
				facility are described in Permit Nos....." - List all appropriations, including
				territorial appropriations, adjudicated permits, valid permits, and pending
				applications. This includes all rights for irrigation, original, supplemental,
				or secondary supplies; reservoir supplies; etc.
e. ITEM 6 - "If the enlarged or extended
				portion of the proposed facility is located on lands owned by the State or
				Federal Government, describe lands and indicate whether State or Federally
				owned." This requirement is made necessary as the result of a memorandum of
				understanding between the State Engineer's Office and agencies administering
				Federal and State lands.
f. ITEM
				7(a) - If the proposed enlargement will require a physical extension of the
				ditch, a location of the beginning of the extension should be given by course
				and distance from the nearest corner of the public land survey, and the 40-acre
				subdivision in which the extension begins should be indicated. If no physical
				extension of the ditch to be enlarged will be required, this item need not be
				filled out.
g. ITEM 7(b) -- This
				item should be completed if a physical enlargement is made to enable the ditch
				to carry a larger appropriation.
h.
				The applicant should secure the written consent of the sole owner or owners of
				the facility, agreeing to the proposed enlargement. The granting of a permit by
				the State Engineer to enlarge a facility does not grant the permittee any right
				to use the property of another, but is merely a permit to appropriate water. If
				it is impossible to secure the consent of the sole owner or owners of the
				facility, to the proposed enlargement, this fact should be stated under
				"CONSENT TO ENLARGE". For sample application, see pages 22 and 23.
