IMPORTANT WATER RIGHTS INFORMATION IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE FIFTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF THE STATE OF IDAHO, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF TWIN FALLS In Re: The General Adjudication of ) Civil No. 00-89576 Rights to the Use of Water from the ) Kootenai River Basin Water System. ) COMMENCEMENT NOTICE ) ) Property Owners within Boundary ) And Bonner Counties within ) IDWR’s Administrative ) Basin 98 ________________________________) TO: ALL PERSONS OWNING RIGHTS TO THE USE OF WATER WITHIN THE KOOTENAI RIVER BASIN WATER SYSTEM A comprehensive determination of the nature, extent, and priority of the rights of surface and ground water users is required for effective water management in the State of Idaho. Adjudication of all water rights in the Kootenai River Basin will ensure proper delivery of water in times of shortage and ensure certainty of water right ownership to property owners. The purpose of this notice is to inform you of the commencement of the Kootenai River Basin Adjudication and your legal responsibilities at this stage of the adjudication. You are receiving this notice because you may be the owner of property located within the boundaries of the Kootenai River Basin Adjudication. I. YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT On March 6, 2026, the Fifth Judicial District Court in and for the County of Twin Falls (“Idaho Water Adjudications Court”) issued an order commencing a general adjudication of water rights within the Kootenai River Basin water system in Idaho. A general adjudication is a court case which will result in a decree determining all water rights within an entire river basin including all surface water and ground water sources. The purpose of the adjudication is to determine the elements and necessary provisions for the administration of water rights and to compile an inventory of all the water rights in the Kootenai River Basin water system. II. GENERAL REQUIREMENT TO FILE A NOTICE OF CLAIM Idaho Code § 42-1409 requires the holders of water rights to file a Notice of Claim for all water rights within the boundaries of the Kootenai River Basin water system in the State of Idaho, except for certain water rights specifically excluded by law. All water rights within the boundaries of the Kootenai River Basin water system in Idaho includes rights to the use of water from any water source including streams, springs, lakes, ground water, developed water, waste water, or any other source. A map showing the boundaries of the water system is included at the end of this notice. The Notice of Claim must be filed with the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR). The failure of a water right holder to file a required notice of claim will result in a determination by the court that the water right no longer exists. Your Filing Deadline is: June 4, 2027 A Notice of Claim must be filed for all water rights based upon state law by the deadline above, except for de minimis domestic and/or stockwater rights or permits for which proof of beneficial use was filed after March 6, 2026. See section III, below. Water rights based on state law include water rights established by the diversion and application of water to a beneficial use, decreed rights, licensed rights, or water right permits if proof of beneficial use was filed on or before March 6, 2026. For all water rights based upon federal law, a Notice of Claim or negotiated agreement must be filed by the deadline above, unless an alternative filing schedule is adopted by the Idaho Water Adjudications Court. III. EXCEPTIONS TO THE GENERAL REQUIREMENT TO FILE A NOTICE OF CLAIM A. DE MINIMIS (SMALL) DOMESTIC AND STOCKWATER CLAIMS Water users of a small domestic and/or stockwater (“D&S”) right, as defined by Idaho Code §§ 42-111 & 42-1401A, may elect to file a Notice of Claim now or defer (postpone) the filing until a later time in this proceeding. Although the Court has not yet set a deadline for filing claims for “deferrable” D&S water rights in the Kootenai River Basin, the opportunity to defer filing will not be indefinite. The Court will establish a filing deadline for small D&S water rights in the future. The current fee for filing a Notice of Claim with IDWR for a small D&S water right is $25. Although water users can legally defer filing a claim for small D&S water rights, IDWR recommends filing a claim for all water rights at this time and not deferring. In times of water shortage, water is delivered to water right holders by a watermaster. Watermasters deliver water as authorized by a water right decreed by a court or approved by IDWR. The owner of a D&S right which has not been established through a license or decree, who elects to defer the filing of a Notice of Claim until a later time will be required to adjudicate the water right prior to distribution by a watermaster and/or before an application for change of the water right may be filed with IDWR. Water right holders who elect to defer filing at this time may be required to file, at a later date, a motion with the Court to have the water right adjudicated. These water rights holders may also be required to pay their own costs of serving notice of the motion, advertising, and all costs incurred for investigation and preparation of a report to be filed with the Court. In short, waiting will result in significantly more work and more expense for the water right holder. A water right holder should be certain their water use qualifies for the deferral procedure for D&S rights before deciding not to file a Notice of Claim at this time. A D&S right holder will be bound by the terms of any decrees entered in this adjudication (including the limitation on D&S water rights that may be adjudicated at a later date) regardless of whether or not the water right holder files a notice of claim for the D&S right at this time. For more information, please consult Idaho Code §§ 42-111 and 42-1401A. B. OTHER EXCEPTIONS A Notice of Claim is not required to be filed for water right permits for which proof of beneficial use was filed after March 6, 2026. However, the Director of IDWR may, at a later date, require holders of such permits to file a Notice of Claim. If the Director does issue such an order, the permit holder will be notified by mail. A Notice of Claim is not required for an application for permit that has been filed with IDWR but has not yet been approved. Additionally, a water user need not file a Notice of Claim where the water user is not the owner of the water right. For example, a Notice of Claim is not required for any person who receives water solely by virtue of ownership of shares of stock in, or by being located within the boundary of a water delivery organization, if the water delivery organization holds legal title to the water right(s) and if the water delivery organization files a Notice of Claim. Examples of water delivery organizations that may hold legal title to water rights include, but are not limited to, cities, water utility districts or companies, and irrigation districts. C. CLAIMS WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE IDAHO WATER ADJUDICATIONS COURT If a claim is filed on an otherwise deferable or exempt water use, as discussed above, the claim will be included in the Director’s Report for determination by the Idaho Water Adjudications Court. IV. NOTICE OF CLAIM FORMS AND INSTRUCTIONS A Notice of Claim must be filed on forms provided by IDWR or online at www.idwr.idaho.gov. When filing at an IDWR regional office, please bring a description of the property with Township, Range, Section and Quarter-Quarters, or the county parcel number. Subdivision lot and block numbers are not sufficient. IDWR staff members are available to meet in person or by phone with Claimants who want assistance filling out a Notice of Claim. Claimants should call the nearest IDWR office to schedule an appointment if in-person help is needed in filling out a Notice of Claim. Notice of Claim forms and instructions for completing and filing the forms are available online at www.idwr.idaho.gov or at the following locations: 1. IDWR, Northern Region, 7600 N.

FEES AND DEADLINES FOR FILING A NOTICE OF CLAIM Idaho Code § 42-1414 requires each person who files a Notice of Claim to pay a filing fee. Failure to pay the fee will result in the rejection of the Notice of Claim. You are receiving this Notice because our records indicate that you have property within Boundary and Bonner Counties and are within IDWR’s Administrative Basin 98. The deadline for filing a Notice of Claim for water rights in your area is June 4, 2027. A Notice of Claim filed after this date may be accepted prior to the filing of the director’s report with the Court, but failure to file a Notice of Claim by the established deadline may result in the assessment of a late fee of $50.00 or 15% of the original filing fee, whichever is greater. Idaho Code § 42-1409A imposes substantial restrictions on the filing of amended or late Notices of Claim. VII. NOTICE TO IDWR OF CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP OR ADDRESS Pursuant to Idaho Code § 42-1409, before acquiring a water right, a purchaser must inquire with IDWR whether a Notice of Claim has been filed. If a Notice of Claim has not been filed, the purchaser must file any required Notice of Claim. If a Notice of Claim has been filed, the purchaser must file with IDWR a written notice of the change in ownership along with sufficient evidence of ownership. ‘’Purchaser’’ includes any person acquiring a water right from another water user, whether it is acquired by purchase, gift, inheritance, or any other means. Idaho Code § 42-1409 also requires all persons who have filed a Notice of Claim to file a written notice of any change in address with IDWR. VIII.
