41-5-108. Driving or floating logs, timber or lumber on streams.
(a) Any person, association or corporation desiring or intending to drive or float logs, timber or lumber down or upon any stream in this state shall, before commencing operations apply to the state engineer for a permit to drive or float the same. Such application shall be in writing and shall state that the driving of such logs, timber or lumber will be conducted with all possible expedition and in such manner as not to interfere with, or injure any irrigating ditch or other property along the stream on which said drive is to take place, and the applicant shall be required by the state engineer to give bond to the state of Wyoming in such sum as the state engineer may deem sufficient, conditioned for the conducting of said drive without delay and for the protection of the owners of irrigating ditches and property along the stream whereon said drive is to be made. When said permit is issued the said applicant may proceed to conduct said drive upon the stream or streams therein mentioned. Provided, however, that no permit shall be granted allowing any logs, timber or lumber to be left in or upon any stream so as to be frozen in during winter, and it shall be the duty of the state engineer to issue to all applicants a license to float timber or lumber on all streams of sufficient capacity, upon compliance with the provisions aforesaid.
(b) Anyone violating any of the provisions of this section, shall be subject to penalty pursuant to W.S. 41-3-616.
