Target flows and State Protected Flows.
SW Permit: If application is approved, DNR has the latitude
to change the amount subject to transfer (CU portion, less
incidental underground storage, or any other component) a
"protectable amount of the transfer" will include only the CU
amount. The non - consumptive use portion would continue to
be diverted, calculations are made to determine portions of
each for irrigation and incidental underground storage, which
may account for the stream depletion impacts of GW wells
during the period of the transfer (irrigation season).
Essentially, the "protectable amount" is the amount protected
from other appropriators downstream and would offset for the
GW depletion during the irrigation season.
