12. The holder of this approval must maintain accurate records of all water withdrawal activities throughout the term of this permit. A digital spreadsheet has been sent to the applicant’s email provided on the application. Water withdrawal records for each diversion point, including “0” values for months where no water was withdrawn, must be recorded monthly on the digital spreadsheet provided. The spreadsheet must be submitted to the Oil and Gas Commission on a quarterly basis to [email protected] . Quarterly reports are due on or before April 25th, July 25tn, October 25th, and January 25th. Do not modify the digital spreadsheet as it is designed to be interpreted by Commission software.

13. In times of drought, the Commission may suspend short term water use previously authorized when there is risk to other resources that may result,from the withdrawal of water. Water use suspensions may remain in place until such time as the Commission is satisfied that there is sufficient water in the applicable water body or water course to permit the short term use of the amount specified in the approval.

14. The holder of this approval must monitor stream discharge at a location near the point of diversion in a manner consistent with the British Columbia Hydrometric Standards (https://www.for.qov.bc.ca/hts/risc/pubs/aquatic/hvdrometric/man BC hvdrometric standVlO.pdf) immediately before and during water withdrawal activities, and must maintain

records of the stream discharge monitoring.
