Statute overview

About this statute

Local custom is only one factor in judging the reasonableness of a water use, method of use, or diversion; it cannot by itself decide the issue. This section says the coordinated state water conservation, development, and utilization plan is called the “State Water Plan.” The American River Development is included in the State Water Plan. The State may not issue a water appropriation permit for a project that would flood any part of Gold Discovery Site State Park at Coloma unless the issuance is specifically authorized by law. This section gives the Georgetown Divide Public Utility District rights to pursue a federal permit and license, limits water-rights filings and permits for certain South Fork of the American River projects for set periods, and requires some applicants to evaluate alternatives or replace lost uses.
