The place of use could not exceed 103 acres in any given year and the applicant would have to identify the acres to be irrigated and notify the Department every year before beginning irrigation. The applicant feels the proposed system would be more efficient and would allow better management of the irrigated area. Assess whether the proposed use will worsen the already dewatered condition. This is a historic water right. The applicant has applied to change the place of use.
Diversion is from an existing historic reservoir.
No additional water would be used. It should not have any impact on the stream. This does not mean flooding would not occur, only that there has not been any 100-year floodplain delineated for this area. The proposed project would pump from an existing historic reservoir. This project should not have any impact on the stream.
