that the study area includes 250 square miles of unconsolidated basin-fill deposits in the northero
Utah Valley' surrounded by the contributing mountain water sheds" The basin-fiil deposits are
comprised of three main areas: primary recharge, secondary'recharge, and discharge. The locations
of the aforemenlioned sloughs are inthe discharge area. The model report states groundwater in
the basin-fili aquifer system moves from the deep unconfined aquifer in the primary recharge area
near the valley margins towards the discharge area. As groundlvater rnoves laterally torvard the

impairing existing rights ilcertain conCitions are obsen'ed.

this change can be rrrade prol icieci cenain precautions are observed.
In evaluating the various elements of the underlying rights, it is not the intention of the State
Engineer to adjudicate the extent of these rights, but rather to provide sulficient definition of the
rights to ensure that other vested rights are not impaired by the change and/or no eniargement
occurs.
It is, therefore, ORDERED and Permanent Change Application Number 55-78ii (a51301) is
hereby APPROVED subjec.t to prior rights and the follor,ving conditions:

The State Engineer has statutory responsibiiity to create and maintain water right records based on
an administrative process outlined in statute. The State Engineer is not authorized by statute to
adjudicate water right title or the validitl' of estabiished w'ater rights. It is noted that failure to
exercise a w-ater right within the statutory period could render all or a portion of a water right
invalid through forfeiture. Parties w'ho wish to challenge the validity of a water right are advised
that a declaration of forfeiture is a judicial action and the courts are available to pursue such suits
(Utah Code $ 73-1-4).
