45-437.01. Substitution of irrigated acreage in an irrigation district; central Arizona project water
In an irrigation non-expansion area, a person who owns acres of land which may be irrigated pursuant to section 45-437 may apply to the director during the central Arizona project contracting period, but no later than January 1, 1995, to permanently retire all or a portion of such acres from irrigation and to irrigate conjunctively with central Arizona project water the same number of substitute acres. The director may approve the substitution of acres if the director determines that all of the following exist:
1. The acres to be retired from irrigation and the substitute acres are located outside of the exterior boundaries of the service area of a city, town or private water company and such acres are located within the same irrigation district and the same sub-basin.
2. Central Arizona project water available to the irrigation district within which the acres are located will be adequate to supply the substitute acres.
