Part 1 - UNDERGROUND WATER - GENERAL PROVISIONS (SE-66-1, ARTICLES 1 AND 2)
Section 19.27.1.33 - REQUIREMENT FOR LICENSE FOR CHANGE OF PLACE AND/OR PURPOSE OF USE

The requirements for a license for change of place or purpose of use are the same as for a new appropriation (Article 1) [now 19.27.1 NMAC]. Provided that, with respect to irrigation rights, if only a portion of an irrigation right is transferred for the irrigation of other lands, then both the lands from which water rights are transferred and the lands to which water rights are transferred must be surveyed and maps prepared showing these lands. If the portion of an irrigation right moved is transferred to purposes other than irrigation, only the move-from area need be mapped. Such maps shall be included in the final inspection and report.
