The location of a point of diversion may be changed or additional points of diversion may be approved if the new or additional point of diversion is from the same source of water, no additional water is appropriated, and, if the water use is for irrigation, no new land is to be irrigated. The change in location of diversion points may be allowed without application or publication pursuant to § 46-2A-4, if the chief engineer is contacted and makes a finding that the change does not increase the potential for interference with existing diversions.
