Comments	In 2013 the dam and spillway at Silver Lake needed to be repaired and maintained. The spillway was opened early in the season and all flow passed through the spillway until the reservoir reached "zero pool" in August, 2013. Thus, no diversion to storage occurred up to that point in the year. Repairs were then made and the gate closed in late October, 2013. Thereafter water was diverted to storage at about 200 Ac Ft per month for November and December, 2013. Water that passed through the dam flowed downstream to the point of diversion where "normal" uses were made of the water for domestic, livestock, irrigation, dust control and fire protection, as usually occurs year to year from this water source.

5. Water Diversion Measurement
a.	Measurement	Water directly diverted and/or diverted to storage was measured
b.	Types of measuring devices used	Other: Measured by amount of water that passes over spillway (3 cfs) and by size of pipe that carries water to point of use
c.	Additional technology used	Other
	Description of additional technology used	During the 2013 season Silver Lake Dam required repairs and maintenance. The lake was drained to below the dam level that summer and repairs made. At the time the reservoir portion of Silver Lake was exposed, measurements were made by Civil Engineers to calculate the storage capacity of Silver Lake. Measurements of capacity of water through the spillway were also made. The measurement of storage capacity and spillway flow form the basis for numbers in this report.
d.	Who installed your measuring device(s)	Licensed Civil or Agricultural Engineer
e.	Make, model number, and last calibration date of your measuring device(s)	N/A
f.	Why direct measurement using a device listed in Section 1 is "not locally cost effective"	No power at diversion point
	Explanation of why use of devices and technologies listed in Section 1 are "not locally cost effective"	Volume of water taken into the pipe at point of diversion along Silver Creek was used to determine what volume of water was diverted for domestic, irrigation, dust control and fire prevention and control.
g.	Method(s) used as an alternative to direct measurement	Modeled/estimated flows
	Explanation of method(s) used as an alternative to direct measurement	Volume of water taken into the pipe at point of diversion along /silver Creek was used to determine what volume of water was diverted. Approximately 178.5 Ac Ft per month flow through the spillway of Silver Lake Dam, May through November. Of this amount, diversion of approximately 110 Ac Ft per month May through November occurs for domestic, irrigation, dust control, and fire prevention purposes. The balance is in-stream benefit flows. The Diverter is investigating creation of power generation for the water.

6. Purpose of Use
Domestic	18 homes and trailers
Irrigation	150 Acres
Stockwatering	60-80 cows and horses
Other	Dust abatement, in-stream, and fire protection

7. Changes in Method of Diversion

The numbers reported for 2013 are based upon measurements and calculations that occurred in 2013 when Silver Lake was drained below dam level for repairs and maintenance to the dam. Measurements prior to 2012 had assumed 900 Ac Ft storage in Silver Lake. (The 2012 report used the information obtained in 2013 for the basis of the 2012 report.) Actual volume of storage is 1,200 Ac Ft. Thus the numbers reported in 2013 are the result of more accurate measurements of storage and use.

8. Conservation of Water
a.	Are you now employing water conservation efforts?	Yes
	Describe any water conservation efforts you have initiated	A well for domestic useage was completed during late 2013, reducing the demand for diverted surface water. The water saved was left in the stream to benefit wildlife and habitat. Diverter is investigating the potential for hydro-generation of power from this water source. In adddition, the pipeline from the point of diversion to the location of use has suffered damage over the years and has several leaks. This pipeline in due to be replaced in 2015 or 2016.
b.	Amount of water conserved	Acre-Feet
	I have data to support the above surface water use reductions due to conservation efforts.	No

9. Water Quality and Wastewater Reclamation
a.	Are you now or have you been using reclaimed water from a wastewater treatment facility, desalination facility, or water polluted by waste to a degree which unreasonably affects such water for other beneficial causes?	No
b.	Amount of reduced diversion
	Type of substitute water supply
	Amount of substitute water supply used
	I have data to support the above surface water use reductions due to the use of a substitute water supply

10. Conjuctive Use of Surface Water and Groundwater
a.	Are you now using groundwater in lieu of surface water?	No
b.	Amount of groundwater used
	I have data to support the above surface water use reductions due to the use of groundwater.

11a. Additional Remarks

Approximately 178 Ac Ft per month of storage in Silver Lake are used during months of May through November for benefit of in-stream habitat as the water flows from Silver Lake, down Silver Creek, to the point of diversion. From the point of diversion, approximately 60 Ac Ft per month continues down Silver Creek providing benefit to in-stream habitat. This 60 Ac Ft is water "belonging" to the diverter, and may likely be used to a certain extent in the future in power generation that may occur at the lower elevation of Spanish Ranch, with the water so used then flowing back into Spanish Creek below its confluence with Silver Creek. Volume of water from groundwater should be available for the 2014 report.
