D. No dam, reservoir or other impoundment facility may be constructed within a designated

scenic waterway; and

E. Under no circumstances may the registrant cause the water course to be dewatered to a

degree that the live continuous flow is obstructed.

be initiated. If the proposed diversion is within or above a designated scenic waterway, the

registrant shall not withdraw water under the registration until the watermaster provides

written findings that the proposed withdrawal will not interfere with the free-flowing

character of the scenic waterway in quantities necessary for recreation, fish and wildlife

uses.
