The proposed amendments will relieve the Board of Trustees from having to be a co-applicant for a water use permit when land leased from the Board to a local government extends through the water use permit term. The proposed revisions provide more options to both the Board and local governments. Local governments will no longer have to solicit the Board to be a co-applicant, and the Board will no longer have to be a co-applicant or the sole applicant. The proposed revisions, requested by the Board and desired by local governments, provide additional regulatory flexibility for water use permit applicants.
