Cancellation of permit; priorities of other permits.
If the decision of the Water
Resources Commission requires the cancellation of a permit, then the commission
shall at once cancel, or have canceled, the permit. Thereafter the permit shall
be of no further force or effect, and shall not be recognized or admitted as
evidence of any right or interest in or to the waters covered by it in any
proceeding in the courts or before other tribunals of the state. Permits having
subsequent priority shall upon such cancellation have priority in the order of
the filing of the applications upon which subsequent permits are based, as if
the canceled permit, or the application upon which it was based, had never
existed. [Amended by 1985 c.673 §43]
