B.    The permittee shall allow the watermaster access to the meter or measuring device; provided however, where the meter or measuring device is located within a private structure, the watermaster shall request access upon reasonable notice.

Within THREE years of permit issuance, the permittee shall submit a Water Management and Conservation Plan consistent with OAR Chapter 690, Division 86.  The Director may approve an extension of this timeline to complete the required Water Management and Conservation Plan.

Mitigation Condition #1:  During the period October 16 through October 31 of each year after this permit is first exercised, the City will deliver to the wetlands adjacent to Munsel Creek the equivalent of 26% of the average pumping rate under this permit for the previous June, July, August and September.

Mitigation Condition #2:  Any time this permit is being exercised, all clarified backwash water from the City's water treatment plant will be diverted to wetlands adjacent to Munsel Creek.

Nothing in this permit shall be construed to allow any person to trespass on the lands of another person.

Standard Conditions

If substantial interference with a senior water right occurs due to withdrawal of water from any well listed on this permit, then use of water from the well(s) shall be discontinued or reduced and/or the schedule of withdrawal shall be regulated until or unless the Department approves or implements an alternative administrative action to mitigate the interference.  The Department encourages junior and senior appropriators to jointly develop plans to mitigate interferences.

The well shall be constructed in accordance with the general Standards for Construction and Maintenance of Water Wells in Oregon.  The works shall be equipped with a usable access port, and may also include an air line and pressure gauge adequate to determine water level elevation in the well at all times.

The use shall conform to such reasonable rotation system as may be ordered by the proper state officer.

Prior to receiving a certificate of water right, the permit holder shall submit the results of a pump test meeting the department's standards, to the Water Resources Department.  The Director may require water level or pump test results every ten years thereafter.

Failure to comply with any of the provisions of this permit may result in action including, but not limited to, restrictions on the use, civil penalties, or cancellation of the permit.

This permit is for the beneficial use of water without waste.  The water user is advised that new regulations may require the use of best practical technologies or conservation practices to achieve this end.

By law, the land use associated with this water use must be in compliance with statewide land-use goals and any local acknowledged land-use plan.

The use of water shall be limited when it interferes with any prior surface or groundwater rights.

The Director finds that the proposed use(s) of water described by this permit, as conditioned, will not impair or be detrimental to the public interest.

Complete application of the water to the use shall be made on or before October 1, 2006.  If the water is not completely applied before this date, and the permittee wishes to continue development under the permit, the permittee must submit an application for extension of time, which may be approved based upon the merit of the application.

Within one year after complete application of water to the proposed use, the permittee shall submit a claim of beneficial use, which includes a map and report, prepared by a Certified Water Rights Examiner (CWRE).
