Official statutory text

Limited quantity stream water permits.

A. The Oklahoma Water Resources Board is authorized to issue,

in addition to regular permits, seasonal, temporary, term or

provisional temporary permits at any time the Board finds such

issuance will not impair or interfere with domestic uses or existing

rights of prior appropriators and may do so even where it finds no

unappropriated water is available for a regular permit. All

seasonal, temporary, term and provisional temporary permits shall

contain a provision making them subject to all rights of prior

appropriators. If any such permit is for water impounded in any

works for storage, diversion or carriage of water, the applicant

must comply with the provisions of Section 105.21 of this title.

B. Except as otherwise provided by this section, application,

notice and administrative hearing as provided in Sections 105.9

through 105.12 of this title shall be required for all permits. A

provisional temporary permit may be immediately and summarily

granted upon administrative approval by the Executive Director.

Provisional temporary permits shall:

1. Not be effective for a period of more than ninety (90) days

except for the oil and natural gas industry;

2. Be granted at the discretion of the Board; and

3. Be subject to such terms, conditions and rules promulgated

by the Board for such purposes.

C. The Executive Director of the Board may administratively

issue permits to use limited quantities of stream water. Notice,

procedures and the maximum quantity authorized for limited quantity

stream water permits shall be in compliance with rules promulgated

by the Board. In no event shall the maximum quantity of water

authorized in a limited quantity stream water permit exceed the

amount of stream water that would otherwise be determined by the

Board pursuant to Section 105.12 of this title.
