Idaho Department of Water Resources issue a new order for the Eastern Snake River Plain
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) —In the ongoing Surface Water Coalition’s conjunctive administration delivery call, director Matthew Weaver of the Idaho Department of Water Resources issued a new order Friday.
The director found the mitigation notices filed by ground water districts in the Eastern Snake River Plain Aquifer region are deficient and fail to demonstrate that their own actions, including securing storage water, meet the requirements of their approved mitigation plans.
In the order signed May 10 of this year, Director Weaver gave the ground water districts until the 17th to submit additional documentation to address their deficiencies and ensure that they were mitigating for the predicted 74,100 acre-foot shortfall to senior water users.
