§ 35-49-106 — Plans submitted to state engineer

Anyone proposing to
construct a dam for the creation of a livestock water tank, as described in section
35-49-103, shall submit to the state engineer for approval an application on a form
provided by the state engineer showing the general location of such proposed dam
with reference to section, township, and range, location and dimensions of spillway,
and the number, location, and size of dams already constructed within the
watersheds of the dry channel on which such dam is proposed to be built. Nothing
contained in this section shall be construed to specify plans and specifications of
such technical detail or nature as to require preparation by an engineer or
construction of such stock water tanks under the supervision of an engineer; it
being the intent and purpose of the provisions of this section that the state
engineer shall be apprised by the completed application of pertinent information
sufficient to enable the state engineer to ascertain the general location of the
water tank, its operation in relation to tanks already constructed, its relative priority
rights, its effect on existing appropriations of water, its capacity, its dam
dimensions, the necessary and reasonable factors of safety, and its compliance
with the provisions of this article.
