Part 13 - ACTIVE WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Section 19.25.13.40 - OBJECTIONS TO, AND APPEALS FROM, APPROVALS, DENIALS AND REVOCATIONS OF REPLACEMENT PLANS

Within thirty days after approval of a replacement plan, the state engineer shall cause to be published a summary of the approved replacement plan providing for the opportunity to appeal the approval, denial or revocation of a replacement plan pursuant to Section 72-2-16 NMSA. The state engineer shall hear objections to his approval, denial or revocation of all part of a replacement plan in accordance with Section 72-2-16 NMSA but shall endeavor to hear such objections in the same prompt manner as provided by Section 72-3-3 NMSA for review of water master actions. Filing of an objection to an approval, denial or revocation of a replacement plan will not stay the state engineer's determination that all water use under all, or part of, a revoked replacement plan must cease, pending resolution of the objection.
