<br />Memo to Gregg Squire 3 June 2l, 1999 <br />8. Past practices by the Division in permitting lined reservoirs included a requirement to provide <br />bond sufficient to purchase enough water from a reliable source to fill the reservoir one time. <br />Numerous gravel pits have been reclaimed or are proposed to be reclaimed as lined storage <br />reservoirs since the passage of Senate Bill 120 in 1989. It has become clear that there is a great <br />demand for lined storage in over appropriated basins, so it is no longer a substantial concern to <br />the Division that lined reservoirs will not be filled and put to their intended beneficial use. In <br />the worst case, virtually any reservoir could be filled eventually by using junior water rights in <br />priority. For these reasons, [he Division will not require bonding to fill [he proposed reservoir. <br />However, the Division will require a statement from the applicant describing their plans for <br />filling [he reservoir. <br />c:\wi ndows\personal\connell.doc <br />
