The applicant provided evidence that water is physically and legally available in the source of supply. Pump tests were also performed on three adjacent wells. The pump test showed a high recharge rate in the shallow aquifer. There are 15 water rights within mile radius of the proposed pit. The closest well is mile down gradient of the applicant's diversion.
Water is physically and legally available in the source of supply for the proposed use.
The proposed use will not impact other water right users. The applicant's diversion reservoir is oval-shaped with axis dimensions of approximately 25 feet wide by 40 feet long. A pump house has been constructed on the northeast edge of the pit. The control and distribution equipment for the irrigation system includes an electrical metering point, motor starter, disconnect switch and breaker box. For groundwater, assess whether the proposed project, including impacts on adjacent surface flows, would impact any threatened or endangered species or species of special concern.
