Wyo. Code R. 037-0006-8
Effective Date: 03/05/1974 to Current
Rule Type: Current Rules & Regulations
Reference Number: 037.0006.8.03051974
a. All applications for water rights must be accompanied by maps in duplicate; one of which must be on good quality tracing linen or equivalent. Original drawings prepared on polyester base films with a minimum thickness of 0.004 inch will be acceptable. This will include Linen, Estar, Cronaflex, and Mylar drafting films. Maps accompanying original applications must be neatly drawn in either black waterproof ink or acetate ink which will print clearly. Maps on which pencil, ball-point pen, or ink other than black, has been used, will not be acceptable. Pressure sensitive lettering and symbols or adhesive transparent acetate stick-on crosshatching are not acceptable. These materials are not sufficiently permanent and decrease the useful life of the filing maps, which are intended to be permanent records.
b. Maps to accompany enlargement applications or amendments of previous filings may be prepared by securing a duplicate original of the map already on file in the State Engineer's Office, and by making the necessary alterations and additions thereto. Duplicate originals, in order to be acceptable, must be on Linen, Mylar, Estar, Cronaflex, or equivalent drafting films with a matte surface designed to accept ink and with a minimum thickness of 0.004 inch.
c. However, in the case of special applications to construct small reservoirs for stock purposes only and fishing preserve waters where the capacity of such reservoirs does not exceed 20 acre-feet or 20 feet in fill height; to develop surface water springs for stock purposes not to exceed 25 g.p.m. (0.056 CFS); and to construct flood water detention reservoirs not to exceed 50 acre-feet in capacity, 20 feet in fill height, or 20 acre-feet of inactive capacity, providing said dam has a minimum outlet of 18 inches in diameter; the application may be accompanied by a 9" x 9" aerial photograph or a 9" x 9" section of a United States Geological Survey quadrangle map. For preparation of special application maps, see Section 3 of Chapter VI, page 47.
d. Maps which have been folded will not be accepted.
a. All maps must conform to one of the standard sizes listed. Maps prepared on sheets of any other size will not be accepted. If one sheet is not sufficient to show the proposed works, two or more sheets of the same size may be used. Keep all map information within the border line.
b. Loose-leaf books are in use for each size given below, and all maps are filed flat in order to preserve the record contained on the maps. Maps must be made on sheets of the following sizes and dimensions:
| OVERALL DIMENSIONS | MARGINS | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Size | Length | Width | Binding Side | Other Sides |
| B | 15" | 10-3/4" | 1-1/2" | 1/4" |
| D | 21-1/2" | 15" | 1-1/2" | 3/8" |
| E | 30" | 21-1/2" | 1-1/2" | 1/2" |
| F | 40" | 35" | 3/4" | 3/4" |
See samples on pages 61 and 62 for pictorial representation of map sizes and margin arrangements.
(1) The "F" size sheet is very unhandy to file and to use; consequently, it is preferred that the "B", "D", or "E" size sheets be utilized if possible. Statutory revisions also permit the use of size "A" which is 8-1/2 inches wide and 11 inches long; size "AA" which is 8-1/2 inches wide and 14 inches long; and size "C" which is 22 inches wide and 36 inches long. The State Engineer's Office, however, is not equipped with books for filing these sizes; therefore, the sizes included in the above tabulation are preferred.
Section 3. Arrangement. See sample maps on pages 63 through 67 for ideal arrangement of data. Attention is called to the necessity of placing the binding edge as indicated. Provide a 1" x 4" space for the State Engineer's endorsement, as shown on the sample maps. Orient map so the meridian is parallel to the binding edge, and, if possible, so the "north arrow" points to the top of the map.
Section 4. Title. Always place the title in the lower right-hand corner. The title on the map should conform with the names given in the accompanying applications or petitions. It should include the names of all ditches, enlargements, reservoirs or pipelines which are directly involved in the accompanying applications or petitions. The names and addresses of the applicants, petitioners, or permittees, and the scale of the map should also be included in the title block.
Section 5. Scale. Location maps must be drawn to a scale of not less than 2" = 1 mile. Use a large enough scale to show all of the required information clearly. Show the scale used for all maps, cross-sections, profiles, etc.
Section 6. Ties.
a. Ties must be shown on the map from a corner of the public land survey to the following points:
(1) The head gate (point of diversion) of the facility. (2) The point of starting of an extension or enlargement.
(3) The outlet of a reservoir, which is defined as the point where the center line of the top of the dam intersects the center line of the outlet conduit.
(4) If a reservoir has no outlet, to the center of the stream bed where it intersects the dam.
b. All distances must be shown in feet. Maps must be plotted to the true meridian, and bearings shown must be true bearings, reading less than 90° to the east or west from the north and south points.
c. At all points where a ditch or other conveyance facility, or the high-water line of a reservoir intersects section lines, the distance along the section line to the nearest corner of the public land survey must be shown. (See Chapter VII, Section 5, page 53, if necessary to deviate from this requirement.)
a. The ditch, canal or pipeline must be shown in such a manner that its location stands out clearly, and the name must be shown. Sufficient detail of the conveyance system must be shown so that it is apparent as to how water will be conveyed to each subdivision.
b. On surface water applications, petitions, or enlargements, the location, as well as the name of the river, stream, or other source of supply, must be shown on the map; arrows being used to indicate the direction of flow.
c. The location and length of all tunnels, flumes, siphons, or other important structures or works, must be shown on the map.
d. Entire sections must be shown in all cases. When any part of a section is involved in an application or petition, the entire section, subdivided into forties and lots, must be shown. Where lots or tracts are shown, they must be plainly labeled on the map, and the entire lot or tract is to be shown. Homestead entries and mineral surveys are to be related to the nearest section to indicate their position in the township.
e. Survey stations along the facility line or reservoir high-water line may be shown on the map, preferably by small circles.
f. Certificate of Engineer or Surveyor must be shown. Examples in Section 1(a) (page 109) of Chapter XI, may be used as a general guide.
g. For surface water applications, petitions, or enlargements, the location and acreage of all lands in each subdivision must be shown.
(1) Such lands must be indicated on the map by symbols or cross-hatching.
(2) Lands under different permits must be shown by distinctively different cross-hatching or symbols. (3) The map must contain a legend showing the kind of cross-hatching or symbols. (4) Watercoloring wrinkles the linen and therefore must not be used. (5) The lands shown on the surface water map must be the acreage of irrigable area in each subdivision.
h. For surface water applications, petitions, or enlargements, the map should also show the location of any existing water rights from other facilities in any subdivision in which irrigable acreage is described in the application. If such information is not available, it may be secured from the State Engineer.
i. Ditches or other facilities and reservoirs appearing on the map but not connected with the proposed work, shall be indicated by a different type of line.
j. Sufficient cross-sections of a ditch or ditches, or reservoir spillways, must be shown to facilitate a determination of the carrying capacities of such ditch or ditches, or reservoir spillways, at all key locations. Enough of the cross-sections must be shown to verify every capacity shown on the application. The scale should be sufficiently large to clearly show important details.
(1) All of the hydraulic properties of each ditch or reservoir spillway section should be indicated, including the coefficient of roughness, the hydraulic radius, area, velocity, and slope used in computing the capacity of the spillway, ditch, or pipeline. In connection with the coefficient of roughness to be used, it is suggested that a figure comparable to 0.030 in Manning's and Kutter's formulas be adopted for ordinary ditches up to 4 feet of bottom width, and a figure comparable to 0.025 to be used for ditches having a bottom width up to 12 feet. This will greatly facilitate the checking of the application and map in the State Engineer's Office. (For pipeline hydraulics, see Sections 8 and 9 (pages 59 and 60) of this Chapter.)
k. The map accompanying an enlargement application for irrigation must show the entire facility which it is proposed to enlarge or extend and all the lands entitled to water thereunder. In filing enlargement applications for uses other than irrigation, such as reservoir supply, industrial, etc., the lands entitled to water under the ditch need not be shown. If the enlargement covers an extensive area, an inset map on a smaller scale can be used to fulfill this requirement. The point of beginning of an extension or enlargement must be located by course and distance from a corner of the public land survey.
l. The map accompanying a reservoir application must show the con-
tour of the ground surface to be submerged, at vertical intervals of not more than 5 feet, and the elevation of each contour line. (For detailed requirements on maps accompanying applications for reservoirs, see Section 1 of Chapter V, page 33.)
(1) The capacity table must be bracketed to show capacity of various storage, i.e.:
(a) Inactive Capacity = 00.0 acre-feet. (b) Active Capacity = (Total) acre-feet.
(Under this heading and included within the bracket for this heading, each use must be stated and the quantity of water to be allocated to each use must be specified.)
(c) Flood Control = 00.0 acre-feet.
m. The same base elevation should be used for the contour map, profile, capacity table, and dam section. Sea level datum should be used whenever possible. n. The map accompanying a reservoir application should show the area of the drainage basin tributary to the reservoir if possible, or a statement of its approximate area. o. The map accompanying an application for the enlargement of a reservoir, must show the reservoir as it exists prior to the proposed enlargement. (See Section 5 of Chapter V, page 37.) High-water lines of previous appropriations must be shown and identified in the topography view of the reservoir.
(1) The capacity table must be bracketed to show the capacity of previous appropriations under individual permits and the capacity of the proposed enlargement. p. If a supply ditch is to be used to fill the proposed reservoir (enlargement) from some other source, all requirements of this Manual pertaining to filings for ditches and reservoirs shall apply. (1) A cross-section of the supply ditch or lateral which directly supplies the reservoir and appropriate hydraulic properties, must be shown on the map to establish the rate at which the off-channel reservoir may be filled.
Section 8. Pipelines. The map accompanying a pipeline application should show a complete profile of the pipeline, as well as details at the head gate, and any other important points along the pipeline. Enough information should be shown to allow verification of the stated capacity of the pipeline by the State Engineer's Office. Points of use in dwellings for domestic purposes should be shown on the map by rectangles. Item 10 of the application should also state number of dwellings.
Section 9. Classification of Pipelines. A pipeline will usually fall into one of the following classes:
a. A pipeline that is flowing partly full at head gate under gravity feed. Use Manning's and Kutter's velocity calculations (suggested roughness coefficient for plastic pipe - n=0.010). The hydraulic properties shown on the map should include area, hydraulic radius, slope, roughness coefficient, velocity, and capacity.
b. A pipeline that is flowing full under pressure from pump. The pipeline capacity will be dependent upon the pump capacity and the hydraulic properties shown on the map, and should include pump type, horsepower, and rated output capacity and head. The head should be at least equal to the total head the pump will be working against plus the head loss in the pipe for the capacity shown.
c. A pipeline that is flowing full at head gate under gravity feed. There are several formulas, such as Manning's formula, adapted for pipe flow (suggested n=0.010 for plastic pipe); the Moody resistance diagram (smooth pipe curve); and the Hazel-Williams formula (suggested C-120 for plastic pipe); which can be used to compute head loss due to friction for pipelines flowing under pressure. Total head, head loss due to friction (and other causes if considered), as well as nominal pipe diameter, area, velocity, and capacity at the outlet, should be shown on the map.
Section 10. Formulas. The formula used and all the hydraulic properties going into the formula, must be shown on the map.
Section 11. Sample Maps. Pages 63 through 65 contain sample maps prepared in accordance with the requirements of the State Engineer's Office, and should be used as guides in the preparation of maps to be filed with the applications, and in the case of pages 66 and 67, for exchange of water.
Section 12. Exchanges. The two sample maps on pages 66 and 67, indicate the required information that must be shown in connection with exchanges of water. Exchanges are accomplished by application (page 88) or by petition to the State Engineer for exchange of already appropriated water (page 88). A detailed explanation of when an application is to be filed and when a petition is filed is found beginning on Page 88, Section 7, Chapter IX. Please note that in addition to meeting all other general mapping requirements, a detailed explanation of how the exchange will operate is also placed on the map.
