I have a water right permit/license that authorizes the diversion of water to storage in my reservoir. Can I convert my permitted /licensed storage right to a stockpond registration?
A . There is no provision in the water code for a conversion of this kind. You may register your ponds in the stockpond registration program if your ponds meet the provisions of that program (Water Code Section 1228-1229), and then cancel your water right permit or license. Be aware that you will lose the priority of right you enjoyed under your water right permit or license. Also, all new stockpond registrations are subject to conditioning by the California Department of Fish and Game, which means that improvements to your existing ponds may be required for the protection of fish and wildlife.If your storage project qualifies for a stockpond/livestock registration and you elect to file for such a registration, you must still pay the assessed annual permit or license fee for Fiscal Year 2003-2004, in addition to the one-time fee adopted by the SWRCB (Fee Schedule) for each stockpond/livestock registration sought. back to top Q.
