(1) Whenever the owner of a water right for irrigation, domestic use, stock water storage or other use, for any reason desires to change the place of use, the point of diversion or the use made of the water under ORS § 541.327, an application shall be filed with the Water Resources Department.

(2) The application required under subsection (1) of this section shall include:

(a) The name of the owner;

(b) The previous use of the water;

(c) A description of the premises upon which the water is used;

(d) A description of the premises upon which it is proposed to use the water;

(e) The use which is proposed to be made of the water;

(f) The reasons for making the proposed change;

(g) If the application is made under ORS § 541.327 (1), evidence that the water has been used within the past five years upon lands owned or controlled by the owner of the water right;

(h) In the event the application is made pursuant to ORS § 541.327 (2), evidence that the water has been used within the past five years in the quarter quarter of a section; and

(i) The approval of the district in which the water right is located.

(3) The description of the premises or mapping required under ORS § 541.329 (2) shall not require a map prepared by a certified water right examiner, but shall be in a form satisfactory to the Water Resources Commission. If the water right is on a tract of land of five acres or less, the assessor’s tax map with a notation of the acres of water right shall be sufficient for identification of the tract and place of use.
