Whiteing filed a Notice of Withdrawal of Counsel for the Blackfeet Tribe. The Blackfeet Tribe is included on the Certificate of Service for the notice of withdrawal. The withdrawal states that attorney Derek E. Kline remains counsel of record for the Blackfeet Tribe. This filing satisfies the requirements for a withdrawal of counsel pursuant to Uniform District Court Rule 10 and §§ 37-61-403 - 405, MCA. Attorney Jeanne S. Whiteing should be removed from the service list upon issuance of this report. PROCEDURAL HISTORY The above captioned stock claims are before this Court due to a combination of objections or notices of intent to appear from the Blackfeet Tribe and the United States of America (Bureau of Indian Affairs), and issue remarks placed on the claims during claims examination by the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC). All elements of the claims appeared on the Basin 41M objection list. On September 8, 2022, the parties filed a Stipulation. ISSUES 1. Are the issue remarks resolved? 2. Are the objections resolved? STATEMENTS OF APPLICABLE LAW Burden of Proof 1. A properly filed Statement of Claim for Existing Water Right or an amended claim for Existing Water Right is prima facie proof of its content. Section 85-2-227, MCA. This prima facie proof may be contradicted and overcome by other evidence that proves, by a preponderance of the evidence, that an element of the prima facie claim is incorrect. This is the burden of proof for every assertion that a claim is incorrect. Rule 19, W.R.Adj.R. A preponderance of the evidence is evidence that demonstrates the fact to be proved is “more probable than not.” Hohenlohe v. State, 2010 MT 203, ¶33, 357 Mont. 348, 240 P.3d 628. 2 2. The Montana Water Court is permitted to use information submitted by the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, the statement of claim, information from approved compacts, and any other data obtained by the Court to evaluate water right claims. Section 85-2-231(2), MCA. Settlement 3. The Montana Water Court may accept a settlement agreement that reduces or limits an element of a claim and need not determine whether the burden of proof is met unless there is an unresolved issue remark on the claim. Rule 17(c), W.R.Adj.R. Issue Remark Resolution 4. When resolving issue remarks, the Montana Water Court must weigh the information resulting in the issue remark and the issue remark against the claimed water right. Section 85-2-247(2), MCA. 5. The Montana Water Court has the authority to resolve issue remarks when the claim file and information available to the Court provide a sufficient basis to do so. Section 85-2-248(3), MCA. Miscellaneous 6. A clerical mistake or mistake arising from omission or oversight may be corrected by the court at any time. Rule 60(a), M.R.Civ.P. 7. Judicial notice of facts may be taken from a source “whose accuracy cannot be reasonably questioned.” Rule 201, M.R.Ev. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Each of the above captioned stock claims appeared in the Preliminary Decree for Basin 41M as a use right with a July 31, 1918 priority date, except claim 41M 155189-00. Claim 41M 155189-00 appeared in the Preliminary Decree for Basin 41M as a filed right with a July 31, 1918 priority date. 2. The parties stipulated to a reduced priority date for each claim. The historical priority date for claim 41M 155186-00 is September 14, 1966. The historical priority date for every other claim in this case is March 13, 1957. 3 3. The parties omitted modifying the type of historical right for claim 41M 155189-00 based upon the reduced priority date. The type of historical right is no longer supported by the Declaration of Vested Groundwater Rights attached to the statement of claim. A fee simple patent supports the reduced priority date and the type of historical right. Judicial notice is taken of the United States of America Bureau of Land Management General Land Office Records website located at https://glorecords.blm.gov. The evidence provided by the site is a fee simple patent issued March 7, 1957, by the United States of America (Bureau of Land Management) to William Forest Bigspring, AKA William F. Big Springs for the S2 of Section 25, Township 31 North, Range 12 West. The patent includes the legal land description for the place of use identified by claim 41M 155189-00. This evidence supports modifying the type of historical right from filed to use. A copy of the fee patent is included with this report. Both the report and the fee patent will be placed in the claim file for future reference. 4. Stock claim 41M 155189-00 claimed a flow rate of 50.00 GPM. The parties stipulated to a reduced flow rate for claim 41M 155189-00. The historical flow rate for claim 41M 155189-00 is 35.00 GPM. The stipulated flow rate resolves the flow rate issue remark on the claim. 5. Stock claim 41M 155190-00 1 included trust land within its claimed point of diversion and place of use. The parties stipulated to removal of the trust land from the claimed point of diversion and place of use. The map attached to statement of claim 41M 155190-00 identifies and supports the stipulated place of use. Claimants own the entirety of the stipulated place of use. The potential ownership issue remarks on the claim are resolved. 6. Each of the claims has a point of diversion and/or place of use within the boundaries of the Blackfeet Reservation. Pursuant to an Order directing the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) examination of such claims, the claims The Stipulation contains a typographical error. The Stipulation states the point of diversion and place of use for claim 41M 155191-00 should be modified. The Stipulation should state the point of diversion and place of use for claim 41M 155190-00 should be modified. 1 4 appeared in the Preliminary Decree for Basin 41M with an issue remark stating it was not clear whether the claims were state-based or part of the tribal water right as defined by the Blackfeet Tribe-Montana-United States Compact. 2 The examination Order directed the DNRC to collect additional information to aid the Court in the resolution of the issue remark. Pursuant to the Order, the DNRC applied a checklist to examine the claims according to their claimed priority date, the status of the land (tribal/trust or fee), and the status of the claimant (United States as trustee, Blackfeet Tribe, an individual member of the Blackfeet Tribe, or no special status). This information was placed in the claim files. The information confirms: 1) the priority date of the claims does not claim the Winters priority date or the tribal water right priority date, 2) with the modifications to claim 41M 155190-00, the claims are on fee land, and 3) and although claimants are tribal members, the Blackfeet Tribe agrees these claims are state-based water rights and not part of the Tribal Water Right. This information confirms the claims are state-based water rights and are not part of the tribal water right as defined by the Blackfeet Tribe-Montana-United States Compact. The issue remark is resolved and should be removed from the abstracts. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Except the modified type of historical right for claim 41M 155189-00, there is no burden of proof to meet; the stipulated modifications to each claim are reductions and the issue remarks are resolved. The fee patent included with this report supports modifying the type of historical right for claim 41M 155189-00 and overcomes the prima facie proof afforded the type of historical right identified by statement of claim 41M 155189-00. The agreed upon modifications should be made to the claims thereby resolving the objections and notices of intent to appear to the claims. RECOMMENDATIONS Based upon the foregoing, all the above captioned claims, except claim 41M See Order Establishing Procedures for Examination of Claim Located within the Exterior Boundaries of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation and Order Pursuant to Section 85-2-243, MCA, Concerning Resolution of the P800 Issue Remark for Claims Located within the Exterior Boundaries of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation (Basins 40F, 40T, 41L, 41M) (March 29, 2013). 2 5 155186-00 should be modified as follows to accurately reflect historical use. PRIORITY DATE: MARCH 13, 1957 JULY 31, 1918 Claim 41M 155186-00 should be modified as follows to accurately reflect historical use. PRIORITY DATE: SEPTEMBER 14, 1966 JULY 31, 1918 Claim 41M 155189-00 should be further modified as follows to accurately reflect historical use. TYPE OF HISTORICAL RIGHT: FLOW RATE: USE FILED 35.00 GPM 50.00 GPM Claim 41M 155190-00 should be further modified as follows to accurately reflect historical use.
