RE:Wild 3 Ranch Minor Subdivision, File No: 201 MS 22
To Whom It May Concern:
The State Engineer’s Office – Ground Water Division reviewed the referenced submittal in compliance
with W.S. 18-5-306(c)(i) and is NOT SUPPORTIVE of the granting of this proposal at this time.
The proposed minor subdivision is to be located in parts of Section 30 and parts of Section 31, T33N,
R118W, Lincoln County, Wyoming. Based upon a review of the information submitted, the State
Engineer’s Office offers the following:
1.An approved permit from the Wyoming State Engineer’s Office is required prior to the drilling of any
water well. The procurement of the necessary and appropriate State Engineer water right permit
allows the applicant to attempt to develop a water supply adequate to meet the proposed needs, and is
no guarantee that any water will be physically available.
2.If any new wells are proposed, they must be constructed in accordance with the State Engineer’s
Office Rules and Regulations, Part III, Water Well Minimum Construction Standards.
3.Any well not to be used must be properly plugged and abandoned as outlined in the above referenced
rules and regulations.
4.Any wells developed for uses that do NOT fall within the definition of domestic or stock use require
adjudication by the Board of Control.
5.The water right search revealed other existing water rights attached to the subdivision lands. Those
water rights must be addressed as outlined in Wyoming Statute 18-5-306(a)(xi). To date, the Board of
Control has not received this required documentation.
Wyoming Statute 18-5-306(a)(xi):
(xi)With respect to any water rights appurtenant to lands to be subdivided in accordance with this chapter
and prior to final approval of the subdivision the subdivider shall provide the following:
(A)The intended disposition of the water rights, by:
Surface Water Ground Water Board of Control
(307) 777-6475 (307) 777-6163 (307) 777-6178
(I)Evidence that the subdivider has submitted to the state engineer the documentation necessary
to relinquish the water rights and has notified purchasers and the board of this action;
(II)Evidence that the subdivider has submitted to the state engineer the documentation necessary
to change the use, place of use or point of diversion to provide for beneficial use of the water
rights outside the subdivision; or
(III)A plan, a copy of which was submitted to and approved by the state engineer prior to the final
approval of the subdivision application, for the distribution of the water rights appurtenant to
the land to be subdivided. The plan shall specify the distribution of the water to the lots within
the subdivision and shall include all appropriate applications for change of use, change of place
of use or change in point of diversion or means of conveyance in accordance with W.S.
41-3-103, 41-3-104 or 41-3-114.
(B)If the subdivision is located within lands, served by or crossed by a ditch, irrigation company or
association or by an unorganized ditch, evidence that the plan has been submitted, at least sixty (60)
days prior to the submittal of the application for the subdivision permit to the company, or
association, or the remaining appropriators in the case of an unorganized ditch for their review and
recommendations;
(C)Evidence that the subdivider will specifically state on all offers and solicitations relative to the
subdivision his intent to comply with this paragraph and that the seller does not warrant to a
purchaser that he shall have any rights to the natural flow of any stream within or adjacent to the
proposed subdivision. He shall further state that the Wyoming law does not recognize any riparian
rights to the continued natural flow of a stream or river for persons living on the banks of the stream
or river;
(D)If the subdivision is located within the boundaries of an irrigation district that is subject to the
provisions of title 41, chapter 7 of the Wyoming statutes, the application shall include a review and
recommendations from the irrigation district regarding the attached water rights and the irrigation
district's easements. If there is a conflict with the irrigation district's recommendations, the applicant
shall certify that it has met with and made a good faith effort to resolve any conflicts with the
irrigation district; and
(E)If the subdivision will create a significant additional burden or risk of liability to the irrigation
district, company, association or remaining appropriators including appropriators on an unorganized
ditch, the applicant shall provide an adequate and responsible plan to reduce or eliminate the
additional burden or risk of liability.
In summary, the State Engineer’s Office is NOT SUPPORTIVE to the granting of this proposal based on
our evaluation under W.S. 18-5-306 (a) (xi) until item 5 has been adequately addressed.
In all correspondence regarding this application, please reference “State Engineer Subdivision Review
Number 2022-22-12”.
