(a) Prior to being declared administratively complete,
applications submitted under this section must demonstrate the amount
of desalinated seawater the water right holder has begun using. If
the water right holder can demonstrate with certainty a specified
amount of desalinated seawater the water right holder will begin using
in the future, the commission may declare the application administratively
complete, but condition any amendment granted under this section upon
the actual use of the specified amount of desalination seawater.
(b) Technical review for applications under this section
will be completed prior to all other administratively complete applications
in the basin that do not meet the requirements of this section.
(c) The commission may include special conditions in
the permit, including, but not limited to a re-opener provision, to
mitigate adverse impacts on the availability of water for applications
that were administratively complete prior to an application that triggered
the expedited technical review under subsection (b) of this section.
