E.5.
Describe how and when unconsumed water returns to ground or surface water and explain how the
returned flow volume was calculated.
(Return flow is that part of a diverted flow which is applied to a beneficial
use and is not consumed and returns underground to its original source or another source of water, and to which other
water users are entitled to a continuation of, as part of their water right. Return flow is not wastewater.)
E.6.
Describe and document the effects of changing the historic diversion pattern including rate and
timing of depletions.
E.7.
For ground water applications, explain how the changed water right will affect water levels in wells of
junior and senior water rights.
E.8.
For ground water applications, explain the rate and timing of depletions from hydraulically connected
surface waters, and what effect those changes will have on those water rights within the area of
effect.
E.9.
Provide a comparison between the historic consumptive use of the water rights being changed and
the consumptive use of the proposed project.
Section F.
Attachments must make specific reference to the section item shown.
ADEQUATE DIVERSION MEANS AND OPERATION – ARM 36.12.1904
F.1.
Provide specifications of the historic system from the point of diversion to the place of use.
F.2.
Provide preliminary design plans and specifications for the proposed diversion and conveyance
facilities and the equipment used to put the water to beneficial use. Include the proposed flow rate
and volume design capacity.
F.3.
Describe how the proposed water right will be operated, from point of diversion through the place of
use and on through the discharge of water, if any.
F.4.
Provide the projected overall efficiency, including diversion, conveyance, and system efficiencies of
the entire water right as changed.
Section G.
Attachments must make specific reference to the section item shown.
BENEFICIAL USE – ARM 36.12.1801
G.1.
Explain how the water use benefits the applicant, other persons, or the public.
G.2.
Explain why the requested flow rate and volume is the amount needed to sustain each purpose.
Section H.
Attachments must make specific reference to the section item shown.
SALVAGE WATER APPLICATIONS – ARM 36.12.2001
H.1.
Describe the water saving method that was implemented and explain how it is known that the water
saving method will salvage at least the amount of water asserted.
H.2.
Document the volume of water that is being saved by the proposed water saving method.
