(e) If a right to divert or use water is based upon a claim of riparian rights, or rights to appropriate water established prior to 1914, and such claim is disputed by the State Water Resources Control Board, the department shall not withhold approval to commence construction solely upon the basis of such a dispute, provided that it is satisfied with the evidence of a water right provided pursuant to subsection (b) above.
(f) In the event that the State Water Resources Control Board has initiated proceedings to determine whether to authorize use of water, and no decision has been issued, written approval to commence construction or enlargement shall not be withheld pursuant to this section after the 120th day following either the date that the matter is submitted to the Board for decision after hearing or, if no hearing is held, the date on which the protest period closes.
