MEMORANDUM NO. 17-18
Date: August 2, 2017
From: Joseph Zoba, Treasurer
Subject: Consideration of Resolution No. 2017-02 Approving the Transfer
of Overlying Water Rights to Specific Parcels - Oak Valley
Partners
Recommendation: That the Watermaster Committee approves Resolution No. 2017-
02.
On July 5, 2017, the Secretary of the Beaumont Basin Watermaster received a request
to transfer overlying water rights from representatives of Oak Valley Partners (attached).
This request is consistent with prior actions taken by the Watermaster to approve the
transfer of overlying water rights to specific parcels as Resolution Nos. 2006-05, 06, 07,
and 08.
The proposed Resolution No. 2017-02 also authorizes the Watermaster Engineer to
implement and update the transfer of 1,806 acre-feet/year of overlying water rights
assigned by OVP to appropriative rights based on the redetermination of safe yield as
shown in the following table. The routine transfer of overlying water rights to appropriative
rights will be identified in annual reports of the Watermaster in manner similar to the
transfer of water in storage between appropriators/parties.
