(3) the non-consumptive use of more than 30,000 gpd (0.05 cubic feet per second) from a single source; or

(4) any water use that may adversely affect the water rights of other appropriators or the public interest.

(c) A person using less than the amount of water described in (b) of this section acquires no water right or priority unless an application is filed and a permit or certificate is issued under 11 AAC 93.035 - 11 AAC 93.140.
