A water conservancy board constitutes a public body corporate and politic and
a separate unit of local government in the state. The board may sit in decision
of the transfer of water rights, subject to the approval of the department of
ecology. The board may establish a water right transfer information exchange
through which all or part of a water right may be listed for sale or lease. The
board may also accept and post notices in the exchange from persons interested
in acquiring or leasing water rights from willing sellers. The board reviews
applications for formal acceptance, prepares draft records of decision, and
should consider other technical or legal factors affecting the board's
development of a final record of decision. A board may request and accept
additional technical assistance and support from the governments of the county
in which it operates. The jurisdiction of a board shall not apply within the
boundaries of a federal Indian reservation or to lands held in trust for an
Indian band, tribe, or nation by the federal government. The board is an
independently funded entity, and may accept grants and adopt fees for processing
applications for transfers of water rights to fund the activities of the board.
The board meets when necessary to review applications. < Back to Boards and Committees
