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.
