City lists temporary water-right application to serve as Libra Solar Project backup supply

The City of Yerington included an application form in its meeting materials seeking permission for a temporary change in point of diversion and manner of use of existing Permit 65299 (an existing municipal Mason well). The application describes a 12‑month temporary diversion to be used for construction needs tied to the Libra Solar Project — specifically dust suppression, soil compaction and other construction uses — and states the application is intended to serve as a backup if the two proposed Libra wells (Applications 94749 and 94750) do not produce the full duty requested.

The application identifies the existing well as an underground Mason well with an authorized 0.6907 cubic feet per second rate, and the packet states the applicant’s intent that the three related applications be tied together for a total combined duty of 500 acre‑feet annually. The form indicates the applicant is the City of Yerington (contact email pauls@yerington.net appears in the record) and includes legal descriptions of the existing and proposed places of use.

The application appears in the meeting packet for Council consideration (listed on the agenda as a “For Possible Action” item). The materials in the record do not include a recorded council vote on this specific application; any decision would be reflected in subsequent permit filings and the Nevada State Engineer’s office records.
