County staff flags state engineer filings including Lions Club water appropriation; Gold Standard Venture changes noted
Summary
County staff briefed the commission on recent state engineer applications, highlighting Gold Standard Ventures’ filings related to the South Railroad mine and a new appropriation by the Lions Club for extra water at Lamoille Campground (application lists irrigation and cited 8.3 acre-feet).
Staff reported the most notable state engineer actions this week include change applications tied to Gold Standard Ventures for the South Railroad mine and several vested-claim filings on the county’s eastern side. The staff update also singled out a new appropriation application by the Lions Club seeking additional water for the Lamoille Campground; the application lists irrigation and the meeting discussion referenced 8.3 acre-feet in context.
Commissioners asked whether the Lions Club application would be contestable and staff said the state engineer’s review would determine approvals or protests; staff offered to monitor filings and provide more detail when the state engineer posts decisions.
