As part of the administrative process for water right applications, the Division of Water Rights publishes notice of the application and gives a 20-day protest period. Any interested party may file a protest on an application during the protest period. Previously, the protests had to be submitted in hard copy via mail or hand-delivery, along with a check for the protest fee.
The Division of Water Rights now allows for protests to be submitted online. Additionally, the protest fee can be paid online using a credit card. The portal for filing protests is located here on the Division's website.
A few items to keep in mind with respect to submitting protests online:
--The online form must be filled out completely and correctly for the protest to be acceptable.
--The protest is not deemed complete until the protest fee has been paid.
--You cannot attach any documents to the online protest. Accordingly, if you have supporting documents to submit with the protest, you must email or mail the documents to the Division and reference the protest number so that the documents can be attached to the protest submitted online.
