1. All applications for reservoir permits
shall be subject to the provisions of NRS

except those sections wherein proof of beneficial use is required to be filed.
The person or persons proposing to apply to a beneficial use the water stored
in any such reservoir shall file an application for a permit, to be known
herein as the secondary permit, in compliance with the provisions of NRS 533.324 to 533.435 , inclusive, except that no notice
of such application shall be published.
2. The application shall refer to the
reservoir for a supply of water and shall show by documentary evidence that an
agreement has been entered into with the owner of the reservoir for a permanent
and sufficient interest in such reservoir to impound enough water for the
purpose set forth in the application.
3. Effluent discharged from the point of
the final treatment from within a sewage collection and treatment system shall
be considered water as referred to in this chapter, and shall be subject to
appropriation for beneficial use under the reservoir-secondary permit procedure
described in this section. Nothing in this section shall preclude appropriation
in accordance with and subject to the provisions of NRS 533.324 to 533.435 , inclusive.
4. When beneficial use has been completed
and perfected under the secondary permit, and after the holder thereof shall
have made proofs of the commencement and completion of his or her work, and of
the application of water to beneficial use, as in the case of other permits, as
provided in this chapter, a final certificate of appropriation shall issue as
other certificates are issued, except that the certificate shall refer to both
the works described in the secondary permit and the reservoir described in the
primary permit.
