037-5 Wyo. Code R. § 5-17

Current through April 27, 2019
Section 5-17 - Additional Required Information

Plats for Proof of Appropriation and Beneficial Use of Ground Water are also required to show the following:

a. Storage facilities, if involved in the use of ground water, must be shown. Permits for sources of ground water used within the distribution system, but brought from outside the area shown on the map, must be identified by note.

b. If lands are owned by more than one party, or are owned by the State or Federal Government, such ownership must be clearly shown. Roads, railroads, and other important cultural features also should be shown, where practical.

c. The term "supplemental supply" does not apply to ground water. If more than one well irrigates the same land, or if both ground and surface water are applied to the same land, it is sufficient to reference the well names on the plat and to identify all wells in the title block. Acreage irrigated from surface water sources must be shown so as to reflect any use of surface water on the same lands covered by the ground water rights surveyed.

d. A blank area, at least 4 inches wide and 2 inches deep, must be left in the upper right-hand corner of the plat. Examples are shown on pages 60 and 61. This blank area, to be completed in the State Engineer's Office only, will be used to reference surface water rights as they are shown on existing records.
