Permit Approval Notice
Dear Permit Holder:
DIRK KEMPTHORNE
Governor
KARL J.DREHER
Director
The Department of Water Resources has issued the enclosed permit authorizing you
to establish a new water right. Please be sure to thoroughly review the conditions of
approval and remarks listed on your permit.
The permit is a PRELIMINARY ORDER issued by the Department pursuant to Section
67-5243, Idaho Code. It can and will become a final order without further action by the
Department unless a party petitions for reconsideration or files an exception and/or
brief within fourteen (14) days of the service date as described in the enclosed
information sheet.
As a permit owner you must commence the excavation or construction of the diverting
works within one year of the date the permit was issued, and you must proceed
diligently until the project is completed. The date shown under condition no. 1 is the
date when the project must be completed.
The Department will send you a 'Proof Due Notice' approximately 60 days prior to the
above referenced date requesting you to file either a Proof of Beneficial Use form or a
Request for Extension of Time form.
The right to drill a well is not a part of this permit to appropriate water. Beginning in
July of 1987, a statute was enacted which requires a drilling permit for new well
construction and deepening of existing wells. If the well(s) proposed for use under this
water right permit were drilled or deepened after July 1, 1987, a separate drilling
permit must be obtained from this Department. Please contact the Ground Water
Protection Section located here at this office or our regional office nearest you.
Also, please note that water right owners are required to report any change of water
right ownership and/or mailing address to the Department within 120 days of the
change. Failure to report these changes could result in a $100 late filing fee. Contact
any office of the Department or visit the Department's homepage on the Internet to
obtain the proper forms and instructions.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 208-327-7946.
Sincerely, �(

EXPLANATORY INFORMATION
TO ACCOMPANY A
PRELIMINARY ORDER
The accompanying order or approved document is a "Preliminary Order" issued by the
department pursuant to section 67-5243, Idaho Code. It can and will become a final order
without further action of the Department of Water Resources (department) unless a party
petitions for reconsideration, files an exception and brief, or requests a hearing as further
described below:
PETITION FOR RECONSIDERATION
Any party may file a petition for reconsideration of a preliminary order with the department
within fourteen (14) days of the service date of this order. The department will act on a petition
for reconsideration within twenty-one (21) days of its receipt, or the petition will be considered
denied by operation of law. See Section 67-5243(3) Idaho Code.
EXCEPTIONS AND BRIEFS
Within fourteen (14) days after (a) the service date of a preliminary order, (b) the service
date of a denial of a petition for reconsideration from this preliminary order, or (c) the failure
within twenty-one (21) days to grant or deny a petition for reconsideration from this preliminary
order, any party may in writing support or take exceptions to any part of a preliminary order and
may file briefs in support of the party's position on any issue in the proceeding with the Director.
Otherwise, this preliminary order will become a final order of the agency.
REQUEST FOR HEARING
Unless a right to a hearing before the department or the Idaho Water Resource Board
(Board) is otherwise provided by statute, any person aggrieved by any final decision,
determination, order or action of the Director of the department and who has not previously been
afforded an opportunity for a hearing on the matter may request a hearing pursuant to section 42-
1701A(3), Idaho Code. A written petition contesting the action of the Director and requesting a
hearing shall be filed within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the denial or conditional approval.
ORALARGUMENT
If the Director grants a petition to review the preliminary order, the Director shall allow all
parties an opportunity to file briefs in support of or taking exceptions to the preliminary order and
may schedule oral argument in the matter before issuing a final order. If oral arguments are to
be heard, the Director will within a reasonable time period notify each party of the place, date and
hour for the argument of the case. Unless the Director orders otherwise, all oral arguments will
be heard in Boise, Idaho.
CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
All exceptions, briefs, requests for oral argument and any other matters filed with the
Director in connection with the preliminary order shall be served on all other parties to the
proceedings in accordance with IDAPA Rules 37.01.01302 and 37.01.01303 (Rules of Procedure

FINAL ORDER
The Director will issue a final order within fifty-six (56) days of receipt of the written briefs,
oral argument or response to briefs, whichever is later, unless waived by the parties or for good
cause shown. The Director may remand the matter for further evidentiary hearings if further
factual development of the record is necessary before issuing a final order. The department will
serve a copy of the final order on all parties of record.
Section 67-5246(5), Idaho Code, provides as follows:
Unless a different date is stated in a final order, the order is effective fourteen (14)
days after its issuance if a party has not filed a petition for reconsideration. If a
party has filed a petition for reconsideration with the agency head, the final order
becomes effective when:
(a) the petition for reconsideration is disposed of; or
(b) the petition is deemed denied because the agency head did
not dispose of the petition within twenty-one (21) days.
APPEAL OF FINAL ORDER TO DISTRICT COURT
Pursuant to sections 67-5270 and 67-5272, Idaho Code, if this preliminary order becomes
final, any party aggrieved by the final order or orders previously issued in this case may appeal
the final order and all previously issued orders in this case to district court by filing a petition in
the district court of the county in which:
I. A hearing was held,
ii. The final agency action was taken,
iii. The party seeking review of the order resides, or
iv. The real property or personal property that was the subject of the agency action is
located.
The appeal must be filed within twenty-eight (28) days of this preliminary order becoming
final. See section 67-5273, Idaho Code. The filing of an appeal to district court does not itself
stay the effectiveness or enforcement of the order under appeal.
