(1) As provided in ORS 537.348(1), any person may apply for an instream transfer, including a time-limited instream transfer.
(2) In addition to the transfer application requirements described in OAR 690-380-3000, an instream transfer application shall include the following information:
(a) Public use(s) for which the instream
right is desired;
(b) Description
of the time periods of the instream use and quantity of water to be transferred
to instream use;
(c) The location
of the proposed instream use. If a reach or lake level is requested, identify
the upstream and downstream extent of the reach or the appropriate lake
level;
(d) Recommendations, if any,
for conditions on the instream water right that would avoid taking away or
impairing existing permitted, certificated or decreed rights. Such conditions
may include, but are not limited to the instream flow levels in cfs per month
or total acre feet, the effective reach(es) or lake levels of the instream
flow, measuring locations and the strategy for monitoring the instream flow or
lake levels;
(e) If an instream
water right exists on the same reach(es) or lake, or on portions thereof, a
statement of whether the proposed conversion is intended to add to the amounts
of the existing instream water rights or to replace a later priority instream
right, or portion thereof, with an earlier priority right;
(f) For a time-limited instream transfer, the
duration or number of years for which the time-limited instream transfer is
being requested.
(3) The Department may require additional information needed to complete the evaluation of the proposed conversion.
