Under existing law, the State Engineer is required to publish a notice for certain applications in a newspaper of general circulation consecutively for certain periods of time. (NRS 533.360) Section 6 of this bill eliminates the requirement to publish the notice consecutively. Section 6 further requires the State Engineer to post the notice on the Internet website of the Division of Water Resources of the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Sections 3, 10 and 11 of this bill remove requirements that certain maps relating to water rights be on mylar and tracing linen. Section 4 of this bill clarifies that certain blank forms for a proof of appropriation must be included in the notice sent by the State Engineer to certain persons claiming rights in or to the waters of certain stream systems.
