1 Upper Colorado River Basin Current Policy and Issues Utah Division of Water Rights September 2009
2 Objectives Review Utah s apportionment & current use Approved yet undeveloped applications Current water management guidelines Unapproved applications Water management issues Future directions
3 Utah s Upper Colorado River Basin Price * Division of Water Rights Administrative Areas * Moab
4 Utah s Upper Colorado River Entitlement & Current Depletions Utah s Apportionment (23%) 1,369,000 AF Current Depletion Remaining Depletion 1,007,500 AF 361,500 AF
5 Estimated Depletion 2009 Units 1000 Acre Feet Source: Division of Water Resources Agriculture/stock Municipal/Domestic 25.3 Power/Industrial 44.6 Exports/Imports Reservoir Evaporation 19.3 Evaporation CRSP Res TOTAL
6 Potential Depletion Approved Applications (Undeveloped) Applicant Quantity (Ac Ft) San Juan County WCD 30,000 Central Utah WCD 29,500 Board of W R (et al) 158,000* Wayne County WCD 50,000* Kane County WCD 30,000 Sanpete WCD 5,600 Uintah County WCD 5,000 Navajo Nation? 80,000 Ute Tribe? 105,000 TOTAL 493,100
7 There is no argument that the Navajo Nation have water rights, Navajo Nation Water Rights the question is how much?
8 State Law on Undeveloped Applications The state engineer shall consider the holding of an approved application by a public water supplier or a wholesale electrical cooperative to meet the reasonable future water or electricity requirements of the public to be reasonable and due diligence in completing the appropriation for the purposes of this section for 50 years from the date on which the application is approved. U.C (2)(h)
9 State Law AFTER 50 Years The state engineer may extend the time in which the applicant shall comply with Subsection (2)(a) by setting a date after 50 years from the day on which the application is approved if the applicant: is a public water supplier; or a wholesale electrical cooperative; and provides information that shows the water applied for in the application is needed to meet the reasonable future requirements of the public. The information provided by a public water supplier shall be in accordance with the criteria listed in Subsection (2)(f). U.C (4)(b)
10 Law AFTER 50 Years (cont) The state engineer shall extend the time in which to file proof by setting a reasonable date after 50 years from the day on which the application is approved if the applicant meets the requirements in Subsection (4)(b); and has constructed works to apply the water to beneficial use or made substantial expenditures to construct the works. U.C (4)(c)
11 Future Water Requirement of Public The reasonable future water requirement of the public is the amount of water needed in the next 40 years by the persons within the public water supplier's projected service area based on projected population growth or other water use demand. A community water system's projected service area is the area served by the community water system's distribution facilities; and expands as the community water system expands the distribution facilities in accordance with Title 19, Chapter 4, Safe Drinking Water Act. U.C (2)(f)
12 Current Water Management Guidelines March 1990 With continued emphasis on development of water within the Colorado River Basin and in an effort to better define and utilize Utah s allocated portion of the river flow, as set forth in the Upper Colorado River Compact, the following policy is established for the Upper Colorado River Drainage:
13 1. Application to Appropriate Water Limited to - 1 family 1 acre irrigation & 10 head stock 5 years to develop Extension reasonable cause of delay
14 2. Moderate Flow Applications Up to 0.25 cfs Consider in priority order within each subdrainage area 5 years to develop Extensions - substantial evidence of reasonable cause for delay
15 3. Large Applications Over 0.25 cfs Priority basis within Utah s apportionment under the Upper Colorado River Compact Non-priority order for fixed time or temporary approval Potential depletion of each application must be defined
16 Current Water Appropriation Guidelines (cont d) 4) Change Applications will be considered on their individual merits. Changes involving amounts greater than 0.25 cfs flow will require that the depletion be defined. 5) Change/Exchange Applications will be required for water development in the fully appropriated drainages. 6) Non-consumptive applications may be considered in a non-priority order based on their individual merits and water availability. This pertains to all areas of the Upper Colorado River Drainage Area in Utah.
17 Unapproved Application to Appropriate Water Recent actions to determine interest ~ % Responded interested interested Other 45% - applicant / address SE Action to remove from further consideration (820 applications) Letter! still " not
18 Our account on the Colorado River is overdrawn on paper! However, we have 360,000 AF unused. * Checking Account Analogy * Will the checks ever be cashed? How long do you allow checks to be outstanding? What can we do that will allow us to realize full benefit from our assets?
19 Summary Upper Colorado River Basin is over appropriated! Administering approved yet undeveloped applications after 50 years Plenty of water in the system but it may not all be developable on the Green River
20
21 Fixed Time Applications An application to appropriate water for industrial, power, mining development, manufacturing purposes, agriculture, or municipal purposes may be approved for a specific and certain period from the time the water is placed to beneficial use under the application, but in no event may an application be granted for a period of time less than that ordinarily needed to satisfy the essential and primary purpose of the application or until the water is no longer available as determined by the state engineer. U.C (2)
22 Fixed Time Processing Same process as other applications Fixed time expiration (can be extended) Simplifying No proof deadline or lapsing Notice mailed for fixed time expiration date Annual use reporting required
23 Federal Reserved Rights Implied in Reservation Accomplish Reservation Purposes Minimum Amount Priority is date of Reservation Does not follow Prior Appropriation
