45-851.01. Recovery of stored water on an annual basis
A. Except as provided in subsections B, E and F of this section, a storer may recover the recoverable amount of water stored after January 1 of a calendar year on or before December 31 of the same calendar year.
B. If water is stored pursuant to a water storage permit and its use is based on a decreed or appropriative water right, the approximate recoverable amount of water stored in a month shall be recovered on or before the last day of the following month or within the same calendar year, whichever is earlier, unless the water is credited to a long-term storage account as prescribed by section 45-852.01.
C. Water stored after January 1 of a calendar year and not recovered on or before December 31 of the same calendar year may be credited to the storer's long-term storage account to the extent that the stored water is eligible for long-term storage credits as prescribed by section 45-852.01.
D. Water that is stored after January 1 of a calendar year, that is not recovered on or before December 31 of the same calendar year and that is not eligible to be credited to the storer's long-term storage account may not be recovered at any other time.
E. If the water stored was effluent stored at a managed underground storage facility that has not been designated as a facility that could add value to a national park, national monument or state park and subsection F of this section does not apply, the storer may recover during a year only fifty percent of the recoverable amount of water stored between January 1 and December 31 of that year. If the storer recovers during the year less than fifty percent of the recoverable amount of the water stored during that year, the difference between fifty percent of the recoverable amount and the amount of stored water recovered during the year may be credited to the storer's long-term storage account to the extent that the stored water is eligible for long-term storage credits as prescribed by section 45-852.01.
F. If the water stored was effluent stored at a managed underground storage facility that qualifies as an existing effluent managed underground storage facility and that has not been designated as a facility that could add value to a national park, national monument or state park, the storer may recover during a year only ninety-five percent of the recoverable amount of the water stored between January 1 and December 31 of that year. If the storer recovers during the year less than ninety-five percent of the recoverable amount of the water stored during that year, the difference between ninety-five percent of the recoverable amount and the amount of stored water recovered during the year may be credited to the storer's long-term storage account to the extent that the stored water is eligible for long-term storage credits as prescribed by section 45-852.01.
