Catch Title: Subdivisions-water study.
Subject: Water study requirements for subdivisions.
Summary/Major Elements:
● Under current law a water study must be submitted with a subdivision application. The study is required to include a list of all water rights that may be affected by the subdivision and a plan for mitigation of water rights conflicts resulting from the subdivision's use of water.
● This act clarifies that the results of a water study must be submitted with the subdivision application.
● This act limits the results required to be submitted to a list of all water rights that will likely be affected by the subdivision and a plan for mitigation of water rights conflicts which will likely result from the subdivision's use of water.
● This act also eliminates the need to file plans for mitigation if the board of county commissioners determines that such conflicts do not exist.
