§ 324.140. Deposits required of applicants to cover costs; reimbursements
1. Immediately after an application has been approved by the Division, and before
the filing of the request for the segregation of land with the Bureau of Land Management,
the applicant shall deposit with the Division a sum which, according to the estimate
of the Division, will cover the entire cost of the surveys, determinations, maps and
plats required by the Secretary of the Interior before it approves a segregation and
allotment of those lands to the State. 2. The deposit is a guarantee that the surveys, determinations, maps and plats are
made properly and in good faith by the applicant, and will be completed and filed
with the Division for its examination within 90 days after the Division receives the
deposit. As work on the surveys, determinations, maps and plats progresses, the Division shall,
upon request, reimburse the applicant from the deposit amounts which equal the aggregate
cost of the work done. An applicant desiring to relinquish and abandon the project before completion of
the surveys and determinations may serve written notice to that effect upon the Division,
accompanied with a relinquishment to the State of his or her application for a water
right, and the Division shall refund to the applicant the unexpended balance of his
or her deposit.
