NRS 324.140 - Deposits required of applicants to cover costs; reimbursements.


1. Immediately after an application has been approved by the Division, and before the filing of the request for the segregation of land with the Bureau of Land Management, the applicant shall deposit with the Division a sum which, according to the estimate of the Division, will cover the entire cost of the surveys, determinations, maps and plats required by the Secretary of the Interior before it approves a segregation and allotment of those lands to the State.
2. The deposit is a guarantee that the surveys, determinations, maps and plats are made properly and in good faith by the applicant, and will be completed and filed with the Division for its examination within 90 days after the Division receives the deposit. As work on the surveys, determinations, maps and plats progresses, the Division shall, upon request, reimburse the applicant from the deposit amounts which equal the aggregate cost of the work done. An applicant desiring to relinquish and abandon the project before completion of the surveys and determinations may serve written notice to that effect upon the Division, accompanied with a relinquishment to the State of his or her application for a water right, and the Division shall refund to the applicant the unexpended balance of his or her deposit.
