NDWR application 95496 — Keith Murray Whipple

Record check, October 3, 2026: NDWR’s live header for Application 95496 displays APPLICATION and “Certificate: None.” Its dates page now lists Sent For Publication: September 23, 2026. The Last Publication, Ready For Action, permit and certificate date fields remain blank. Sent For Publication is an administrative milestone, not proof that notice has finished running or that the application has been approved.

NDWR lists this change filing in Basin 209 — Pahranagat Valley, filed August 28, 2026, with an August 3, 1960 priority date. The General and Maps & Due Dates tabs were checked October 3. The related base-permit balance discussed below remains from September 1 research; title and ownership were not reverified.

The general record names Keith Murray Whipple, identifies underground water for irrigation, and shows a proposed point of diversion in the northwest quarter of the northwest quarter of Section 14, Township 4 South, Range 60 East. It displays a duty balance of 261.4 acre-feet and a diversion balance of 0.396 cubic feet per second.

NDWR identifies Permit 70990 as the previous application/base right and marks the point of diversion for change. The base-permit page checked September 1 displayed permit status, no certificate and a zero annual-duty balance. Application 95497, filed the same day from the same base right, displays another 33.1 acre-feet. The two application quantities total 294.5 acre-feet, but they must not be described as new basin supply or added to Permit 70990 as extra water.

This is a pending change filing, not approval, proof of ownership, available water, current pumping, a market offer or a completed transfer. Applicant names are NDWR retrieval displays. Review the filed documents, later notice, protests, rulings, permit conditions and title records before drawing legal, operational or investment conclusions.
