POINT OF DIVERSION (POD) AND MEANS OF

DIVERSION FOR INSTREAM OR INLAKE APPROPRIATIONS The department’s examination of the claimed POD for instream or inlake other uses claims shall follow the procedures described in Rule 8, W.R.C.E.R. In addition, the following procedures will apply to the examination of the POD for such claims. (a) For instream water use, the legal land description of the POD will be the same as the legal land description of the POU. 79 (b) The claimed POD may be revised by the department so that the POD and POU legal land descriptions for instream water use will be the same. (c) A clarifying remark should be added to the point of diversion to provide a general geographic description of the instream reach claimed and to promote the public’s ability to understand the extent of the claim. Example: THIS RIGHT FOR INSTREAM USE APPLIES FROM SMITH DAM IN JONES COUNTY DOWNSTREAM TO THE CONFLUENCE OF THE NORTH FORK OF ROCK CREEK WITH THE GREEN RIVER IN MACON COUNTY. (d) For all instream or inlake surface appropriations, the claimed means of diversion will be changed during the department’s examination to “INSTREAM” or “INLAKE.” VI. GENERAL PROVISIONS
