Okla. Stat. tit. 82, § 82-105.14: Denial of permit - Approval of application for lesser

amount - Appeal.

If, in the opinion of the Board, the applicant fails to

establish the three requirements of Section 12, it shall reject the

application. It shall notify the applicant of the rejection and the

reason for its action. In the absence of appeal as provided by this

act, the decision of the Board shall be final.

If the Board denies a permit on the basis that there is no

unappropriated water available in the amount applied for but finds

that the other requirements were complied with, the applicant may

file an amended application and apply for a lesser amount. Such

amendment shall be in writing and sent by certified mail no later

than fifteen (15) days after notice of denial of the original

application shall have been mailed by the Board. Upon receipt of

the amended application, the Board shall approve the application for

the lesser amount at its next regularly scheduled meeting if such

amount is sufficient. Such amendment shall not be deemed a waiver

of the right to appeal from the action of the Board in denying the

permit on the original application. Time for perfecting an appeal

shall begin to run upon the mailing of notice of either the denial

of the permit or approval of the amended application, whichever is

later.
