Or. Admin. Code § 690-380-6040 - Proof of Completion of Change

(1) The director shall issue a certificate of water right upon satisfactory proof of completing the change or changes authorized by a transfer approval order. Satisfactory proof shall be one of the following:

(a) A determination by the Department that appropriation of water to beneficial use under the terms of the transfer approval order was completed to the extent authorized; or

(b) A determination by the Department that appropriation of water to a beneficial use under the terms of the transfer approval order was completed to an extent less than authorized. Such determination shall constitute proof for that portion of the appropriation.

(2) If the Department determines that proof has been made to an extent different or less than that approved, a proposed certificate of water right shall be prepared. The proposed certificate shall describe the right determined completed under the provisions of the transfer approval order. The proposed certificate shall be sent by first class mail, or with the consent of the recipient, by electronic means to the transferee, together with notice that the transferee or the landowner has a period of 60 days from the date the proposed certificate was sent within which to request the Department reconsider the contents of the proposed certificate of water right. If no request for reconsideration is received within the 60-day period, the director shall issue a water right certificate to the transferee or landowner pursuant to ORS 540.530(2) and the transfer approval order.

(3) If the Department determines that proof has been made to the full extent granted by the approval order, a certificate may be issued without the necessity of a proposed certificate.
