Sec.  9.35  Use of water.

    No operator may use for operations any water from a point of 
diversion which is within the boundaries of any unit unless authorized 
in writing by the Regional Director. The Regional Director shall not 
approve a plan of operations requiring the use of water from such source 
unless the operator shows either that his right to the use of the water 
is superior to any claim of the United States to the water, or where the 
operator's claim to the water is subordinate to that of the United 
States that the removal of the water from the water system will not 
damage the unit's resources. In either situation, the operator's use of 
water must comply with appropriate State water laws.
