Numerous water right permits have been issued by the Wyoming State EngineerÆs Office (SEO) for the benefit of fish and wildlife. These permits are held not only by State and Federal agencies but also by private citizens for the purpose of maintaining fisheries and wildlife habitat. A complete listing of waters appropriated for environmental benefit use is too extensive to compile in this basin plan. A Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGF) and a Basin Electric Power Cooperative permit for fish and wildlife uses in the Lower Laramie subbasin are shown in the following table.
