Wyo. Code R. 037-0006-5
Effective Date: 05/28/1980 to Current
Rule Type: Current Rules & Regulations
Reference Number: 037.0006.5.05281980
a. A permit from the State Engineer is required before commencing construction of any dam or reservoir involving the storage or impoundment of water in Wyoming. Maps or plans must be submitted with the application for a permit to construct such a dam. See Section 1(c) of Chapter VIII, page 55, for special conditions applicable to maps for applications for certain stock reservoirs, fishing preserve reservoirs, and floodwater detention reservoirs; additional details are provided in Chapter VI of this Manual.
b. Special requirements for plans of dams include:
(1) A profile of the damsite along center line, and a maximum cross-section of the proposed dam. (2) The outlet works and spillway in detail. The spillway cross-section must be shown. A computation of capacity and all necessary data used must be included.
(3) The scale used on any part of the map or plans should be sufficiently large to reflect all important details. Reservoir contour maps shall normally be drawn to a scale of 1" = 400' or larger. When the maximum length or width of the reservoir basin is more than 2 miles, the scale of the reservoir contour map may be reduced to not less than 1" = 1000' providing that all necessary detail is clearly shown. Profiles shall be drawn to a longitudinal scale of 1" = 200' or larger. Cross-section plans shall be on a scale of not less than 1" = 20'. Detailed plans including plans of outlet works and other structures, shall be on a scale of not less than 1" = 4'. Important dimensions must be shown on all plans of structures.
(4) For earth dams, the slope must not be less than 3 to 1 for the front or water side and 2 to 1 for the back side unless conditions justify steeper slopes. In this case, engineering data must be submitted in support of steeper slopes than these maximums. Special conditions may require flatter slopes. The width on top shall be at least 1/5 of the height plus 4 feet, and in no case less than 8 feet for dams 10 feet or more in height. A minimum freeboard (from the top of the dam to the bottom of the spillway) of 5 feet is ordinarily required on all earth dams. This minimum may be reduced, but only when specifically requested and prior approval is granted by the State Engineer. Justification for reducing the freeboard requirement below 5 feet must be submitted along with the application and should include information on the conditions, size and characteristics of the drainage area above the reservoir, the location of buildings, roads and other structures downstream from the dam, the effect of wave action on the face of the dam at maximum water level, and any other information concerning the
conditions at the dam site.
(5) For reservoirs with a dam height greater than 20 feet or reservoirs with a storage capacity greater than 50 acre-feet or reservoirs located in an area where extensive property damage or loss of life might result from over-topping or failure of the dam, the spillway shall have sufficient capacity to pass the flood flow for a projected 100 year storm. The design of the spillway shall be such that a minimum of 1½ feet of freeboard, between the top of the dam and the maximum water level in the spillway, is maintained. If the design indicates erosive velocities in the spillway channel, a protective lining shall be added or redesign of the spillway shall be made. The State Engineer may require additional freeboard and/or spillway capacity if, in his judgment, it is necessary.
(6) The State Engineer may require detailed construction plans and specifications for structures, along with computations governing the design thereof.
(7) A capacity table showing the capacity of the proposed reservoir must be shown on the reservoir filing map. See sample map on page 65.
Section 2. Off-Channel Reservoirs. A reservoir permit gives only the right to construct a reservoir and store water from the source of supply on which the reservoir is to be located. It does not provide for the diversion of water from another source of supply for the purpose of filling an off-channel reservoir. If the reservoir is not located on the source of supply, or if an additional supply for the reservoir from another source or sources is desired, a separate application for the supply facility or facilities must be filed. To protect the priority of the right which the applicant will acquire, these reservoir supply applications should be filed at the same time as the reservoir application.
Section 3. Reservoir Supply Ditch or Other Facility Applications. If a proposed facility is to be used for supplying water with which to fill a reservoir, an application should be submitted to cover this use. The same application form as that used for an original water right application (Form S.W. 1) must be used if an original facility is involved. If an existing ditch or other facility is involved, an enlargement application (Form S.W. 2) must be used. The application should be filled out in the same manner as the original water right or enlargement form except that:
a. ITEM 3 -- "The use to which the water is to be applied is . . ." -- State the use to which the water is to be applied, such as "Supply (or additional supply) for Model Reservoir, Permit No. 100 Res." If for additional supply, the estimated quantity of water to be furnished from this source should be stated.
b. The map accompanying the application for reservoir supply must show a cross-section of the supply ditch or other facility and appropriate
hydraulic properties. If the reservoir is to be supplied by a lateral from the primary diversion facility, then a cross-section of such lateral and hydraulic properties must be shown on the map to establish the rate at which the off-channel reservoir may be filled.
c. ITEM 10 -- "The land to be irrigated . . ." -- The tabulation of lands to be irrigated should not include any land description unless there should be some new lands which are irrigated directly from the supply ditch. Merely include a statement at the top of the space devoted to this tabulation, such as "Supply for Model Reservoir, Permit No. 100 Res." See sample application, page 43.
Section 4. Reservoir Applications. An application for a permit to construct a reservoir must be submitted on Form S.W. 3, which is available from the State Engineer's Office. For a sample reservoir application, see page . The instructions for original water right applications in Chapter III (page 44) apply to reservoir applications, with the following exceptions:
a. ITEM 3 -- "The use to which the water is to be applied is . . ." -- This item should be filled in with the beneficial purposes for which the water will be stored. Only the beneficial uses that are to be made immediately and which are the primary purpose of the filings should be included. Water uses that do not have an immediate use or are of a speculative nature should not be included. If at a later time a change in use is desirable, a petition to the State Engineer or the Board of Control may be filed and the desired change made by an amendment of the permit, provided no injury to other appropriators will occur as a result of the change in use.
b. ITEM 3(a) -- When more than one beneficial use is covered by the application for a reservoir, the amount of storage in acre-feet must be allocated to each use under this item of the reservoir application. Inactive reservoir capacity is defined as the amount of water in acre-feet that cannot be evacuated or is not to be evacuated from the reservoir. The term dead storage should not be used. The capacity that cannot or will not be evacuated from the reservoir must be allocated to stock purposes, fish culture, recreation or some beneficial use that can be made in place.
For the "Reservoir Capacity Breakdown by Uses", provide the capacities (in acre-feet) as applicable to the following:
(1) Inactive Capacity - Capacity below outlet. (2) Irrigation and/or other uses - Capacity between outlet and principal spillway. Specify capacity allocated to each use. (3) Flood Control - Capacity between principal spillway and emergency spillway.
NOTE: Capacity information must correlate with the bracketed infor-
mation shown in the capacity table on the map.
In applications where active capacity is allocated to multiple beneficial uses, a detailed explanation of the location of the place of each use and how the stored water will arrive at the place of use, must be included in the "REMARKS" section of the application.
As a matter of general policy, it is unlikely that the State Engineer will approve a reservoir application which proposes to store in excess of 20 acre-feet to be used only for stock watering purposes.
c. ITEM 3(b) -- "The area of the high-water line of the reservoir . . . ." -- Show the surface area in acres when the reservoir is full to the elevation of the uncontrolled or emergency spillway. In the case where both a principal spillway and emergency spillway are proposed, the surface area, in acres, of the elevation of the emergency spillway will be shown.
d. ITEM 3(c) -- "The total available capacity of the reservoir is . . . ." -- Show the total capacity of the reservoir at the high-water line; i.e., the elevation of the uncontrolled or emergency spillway.
e. ITEM 3(d) -- "If enlargement, the capacity of the enlargement is . . . ." -- Show the additional storage capacity gained by physically enlarging the reservoir.
f. ITEM 5 -- "The outlet of the proposed reservoir is located . . . ." -- Show a tie by course and distance from the nearest corner of the public land survey to the outlet of the reservoir. The outlet is the point where the center line of the top of the dam intersects the center line of the outlet conduit. The wasteway or spillway should not be confused with the outlet.
g. ITEM 6 -- "Are any of the lands covered by the proposed reservoir owned by State or Federal government. If so, describe the lands and designate ownership, i.e., Federal or State." This requirement is made necessary as the result of a memorandum of understanding between the State Engineer's Office and agencies administering Federal and State lands.
h. ITEM 7 -- Fill out either (a) or (b) or both if the reservoir is to be supplied by the stream on which it is located and by a supply ditch from another source.
(1) ITEM 7(a) -- "The reservoir is located in the channel of . . . ." -- If the reservoir is located on a stream, show the name of the stream.
(2) ITEM 7(b) -- "The reservoir is to be filled through the . . . ." -- If the reservoir is to be filled through a supply ditch or other facility, give the name, provide space for the permit number, and furnish carrying capacity of said facility. (See Sections 2 and 3 of this Chapter, page 34).
i. ITEM 8(a) -- "The dam is to be constructed as follows . . . ." -- State the material to be used, method of construction and the contents of the dam (in cubic yards).
j. ITEM 8(b) -- "The water face of the dam is to be protected from wave action in the following manner: . . . ." -- Ordinarily, some means of protection from wave action should be provided, such as rock or gravel riprap, brush properly secured, or use of log booms.
k. ITEM 9 -- Under this item, the applicant should specify, for the benefit of the State Engineer, the amount of time he will require to commence and complete construction. Many small projects may be completed within one year.
NOTE: Upon approval of an application for a permit, the maximum time which can be granted by the State Engineer is 5 years; however, time limits set by the State Engineer may be extended for good cause shown if written request is made before the expiration date set forth in the permit.
a. Reservoir enlargement applications should be submitted on Form S.W. 3 (the same form and procedure as used for original reservoir applications). The name of the reservoir should indicate the enlargement of the reservoir involved; for example: "The Enlargement of the Model Reservoir." Underneath the name of the reservoir, show the permit number of the original reservoir to be enlarged and any existing valid enlargements.
b. Previous instructions given for reservoir applications and original water right applications would apply, with the following exceptions:
(1) ITEM 3(a) -- For the "Reservoir Capacity Breakdown by Uses", provide the capacities (in acre-feet) for the enlargement of the reservoir as follows:
(a) Irrigation and/or Other Uses-Capacity of the enlargement of the reservoir. Specify capacity allocated to each use.
(b) Flood Control-Capacity between principal spillway and emergency spillway.
NOTE: The capacity table on the map should clearly show the capacity of the reservoir at the original high-water line elevation. It should also show the enlargement capacity between the high-water line of the original reservoir and the high-water line elevation of the reservoir enlargement. Be sure the capacity figures shown on the map agree with those shown on the application. (See sample map on page 65.)
(2) ITEM 3(b) -- "The area of the high-water line of the reservoir . . . ." -- Give the area of the high-water line (in acres) of the enlargement of the reservoir.
(3) ITEM 3(c) -- "The total available capacity of the reservoir is . . . ." -- Show the total capacity of the reservoir as enlarged.
(4) ITEM 3(d) -- "If enlargement, the capacity of the enlargement is . . . ." -- Show the additional storage capacity gained by physically enlarging the reservoir.
(5) ITEMS 8(a) and 8(b) -- Describe the work contemplated under the proposed enlargement only.
(6) On the second page of the application form, insert a "Consent to Enlarge" which has been signed by the sole owner or owners of the reservoir. The format for the "Consent to Enlarge" on page 112 can be used to serve as a guide. The granting of a permit by the State Engineer to enlarge a reservoir does not grant the permittee any right to the use of the property of another, but is merely a permit to appropriate the water. If it is not possible to secure the consent of the sole owner or owners of the reservoir to the proposed enlargement, this fact should be set forth in the application. See sample application, page 44.
a. Stock reservoirs filed on Form S.W. 4 must not exceed 20 acre-feet in capacity, cannot have a dam height greater than 20 feet, and the proposed use of the stored water must be for stock purposes only. Any reservoirs which do not comply with these limitations, must be filed on the regular reservoir application form, Form S.W. 3 with an accompanying map.
b. If an aerial photograph or U.S.G.S. quadrangle map is to be submitted with a stock reservoir application, see Chapter VI (page 47).
c. Applications for stock reservoirs complying with the requirements of Section 6(a) of this Chapter, should be submitted on Form S.W. 4. The instructions listed in Section 4 of this Chapter (page 35) shall apply, with the following exceptions: See sample application, page 46.
(1) ITEM 4(a) -- "The area of the high-water line of the reservoir is . . . ." -- Show the surface area of the high-water line (in acres) when the reservoir is full to the elevation of the uncontrolled or emergency spillway.
(2) ITEM 4(b) -- "The capacity of the reservoir is . . . ." -- Show the capacity (in acre-feet) when the reservoir is full.
(3) ITEM 4(c) -- "Body of Reservoir: . . . ." -- provide the length, width, and average depth (in feet).
(4) ITEM 6 -- "The outlet of the proposed reservoir is located . . ." -- A corner tie is not required but should be provided if such information has been determined. However, the location of the stock reservoir by proper 40-acre subdivision, section, township and range, must be specified.
(5) ITEM 7 -- "Are any of the lands covered by the proposed reservoir owned by State or Federal government. If so, describe the lands and designate ownership, i.e., Federal or State." This requirement is made necessary as the result of a memorandum of understanding between the State Engineer's Office and agencies administering Federal or State lands.
(6) ITEM 8 -- Complete either (a) or (b) or both if the reservoir is to be supplied by the stream on which it is located and by a supply ditch from another source.
(a) If the stock reservoir is located in the channel of the stream from which the water will be appropriated, it is only necessary to identify the stream.
(b) If an off-channel reservoir is contemplated, the permit number, name and capacity of the supply ditch should be supplied in this item.
(7) If the application is for enlargement of an existing stock reservoir, indicate in the blank space adjacent to Item 4(b), the capacity of the enlargement. This information must correspond with the capacity table on the second page of the application form.
d. SUPPLY DITCHES -- If a supply ditch or other facility is to be used to fill or to furnish additional water from another source for a stock reservoir, a separate application for the supply facility will be required. Such application must be prepared in accordance with the requirements of Sections 2 and 3 of this Chapter, and shall require a linen tracing map. The priority of the supply ditch will determine when water may be conveyed through the ditch and into the reservoir.
e. MAPS -- It is not necessary to submit a separate map with a stock reservoir application. The second page of Form S.W. 4 requires information usually supplied on a separate map. The same care and attention to detail, necessary on a linen tracing, should be used. See sample map on page 68.
(1) The Location Map and Area Map on the second page of the application form, are not required if the application is accompanied by an aerial photograph or U.S.G.S. quadrangle map in accordance with Chapter VI (page 47.)
(2) LOCATION MAP -- Show the section, township and range, in which the stock reservoir is located. Locate the reservoir in the proper 40-acre subdivision. Show an outline of the high-water line of the reser-
voir, drawn as nearly to scale as possible, and give the name of the stock reservoir. Show the location and direction of flow of the channel on which the stock reservoir is located and give the name of the stream. The complete course of all streams within the section must be shown and identified by name, if such name is known. If a corner tie is furnished, it must be shown on the Location Map.
(3) AREA MAP -- In the blank space below the Location Map and the Cross-Section of Dam, show a scale drawing, drawn to the largest scale possible in the available space, including the outline of the dam, high-water line, and area of the reservoir. Show the location and direction of flow of the stream channel and its name. This Area Map should be oriented to conform with the Location Map. Show the location and extent of the overflow spillway, including the bottom width. The Area Map should show the scale of the drawing, and a "north arrow" which normally should be directed toward the top of the sheet. When applicable, the outlet pipe and corner tie should be shown.
NOTE: If a supply ditch or other facility is to be used to fill or to furnish additional water from another source for the stock reservoir, such facility must be shown and identified by name on the Location Map and Area Map.
(4) CROSS-SECTION OF DAM -- Show the height of the dam, top width, elevation of the top, elevation of the high-water line, slope of front and back faces, and the amount of freeboard. When an outlet pipe is to be used, give the diameter of the pipe.
(5) PROFILE OF DAMSITE -- Show a complete profile, including: top of dam, high-water line, location and size of outlet pipe; spillway and its bottom width; and appropriate elevations, including the low point of the profile. The vertical elevations and horizontal scale must be shown.
(6) CAPACITY -- Complete the capacity formula shown on the application form by filling in the area and depth; then compute the capacity by multiplying the area times the depth and dividing by 3. The water depth used in this computation should be the maximum depth of water in the reservoir basin. This is usually the difference in elevation between the low point on the profile of the damsite and the high-water line.
(7) ENLARGEMENTS -- If the application is for enlargement of an existing stock reservoir, a capacity table, setting forth the capacity of the existing stock reservoir and the capacity of the enlargement, must be shown and may be placed within the blank space provided for the Area Map. Enough information must be furnished to clearly indicate the physical changes necessary to accomplish the enlargement; i.e., show the reservoir as it exists and the proposed enlargement.
f. The statement of declaration must be signed and dated by the applicant or his agent, who is familiar enough with the information to comply with the requirements of the declaration.
Section 7. Stock Pits.
a. Stock pits are considered as stock reservoirs; therefore, the wording throughout the application should not be altered to read "stock pits." When the structure is a stock pit, the application is prepared in the same manner as for any other stock reservoir, with the following exceptions:
(1) The Area Map should show the top dimensions, bottom dimensions, depth, capacity computations, and surface area computations. The formula used to compute capacity and area is shown on page 69.
(2) The Profile of Damsite should be changed to Section A-A of the pit. Show a complete profile of the pit, including the high-water line elevation at top of ground, and the bottom elevation. The Section A-A of the pit should also include the horizontal scale, vertical elevation scale, and stationing.
b. An example for the proper method of preparing the second page of the application form for a pit type stock reservoir, is shown on page 69.
