(2) If the applicant does not include the supplemental water right or permit in the transfer application, the Department shall notify the applicant and the land owner, as identified under OAR 690-380-3000(13), that the supplemental water right will be canceled before the Department issues the order approving the transfer of the primary water right, unless within 30 days after the date of Department notification, the applicant modifies the application to include the supplemental water right or permit or withdraws the application.

(3) The Department may approve the transfer of a supplemental water right or permit in accordance with ORS 540.520 and 540.530. The Department shall not approve the transfer of a supplemental water right or permit if the transfer would result in injury or enlargement.
