Water Rights Services
RMEA provides a range of Water Rights services to
our clients, but our specialties include:
Research of water rights for prospective real
estate purchases and pending water right claims, and the documentation
of water priority.
Water right filings and acquisition of water
right permits.
Documentation and confirmation of approved
water right permits, water rights owned by a client or other owners,
and documentation and requests to Idaho Department of Water Resources
(IDWR) for "Beneficial Use" time extensions.
Evaluation, documentation, and confirmation of
the legal descriptions of real estate, and "Beneficial Use" proof as
required by the IDWR. RMEA evaluates water rights for future
development, re-allocation (transfers), and client transfers to other
real estate. We evaluate, document, and assist clients in the selling,
leasing, or legal transfer of rights to other entities.
Evaluation of water right systems, usage, water reserves, storage, and market values.
Providing professional expert witnesses testimony in legal water right litigation for clients in county, district, State, and U.S. courts.
RMEA staff have over 30 years of water right experience and are intimately familiar with all facets of the administration of water rights for the state of Idaho. We provide consulting related to Snake River Basin Adjudication (SRBA) claims, new water right permits, transfers and sales of water rights, new pond applications, permits for new supply wells, permits for injection wells, and stream channel alteration permits.
Every water right action requires research, since a water right is based upon it's beneficial use. Our water right analysts have over 30 years combined experience and are experts in water right research, which is a core aspects of our excellence in the water right business.
Allocations of new water rights are rapidly becoming infrequent in Idaho with the exception of domestic exempt rights (established de-facto under Idaho Code), and non-consumptive rights. Most areas of Idaho are now administrated under allocation moratoriums. As a result, more and more water right actions are changes to existing water rights or what the Idaho Department of Water Resources refers to as "Transfers." Transfer applications are deceivingly complex. To be successful, one has to be knowledgeable, experienced, and keep abreast of changing regulatory policies and be fully engaged in the subtle nuances of the process.
