Comments	Beginning in or about November of each year, water is stored behind the Silver Lake dam for use the following year. Diversions begin in or about May of each year from the point of diversion. Beginning in May Silver Lake reservoir is full, approx. 1,200 Ac Ft. Excess water flows out of the Lake and as the flows from winter run-off and snow melt slow down or cease, the spillway is opened to allow the calculated flows down Silver Creek to the point of diversion. At the point of diversion, the water flows into the pipeline for delivery to Spanish Ranch where it is used for irrigation, stock watering, dust abatement and fire control. Some domestic use occurs, but most domestic needs are now met with groundwater from wells installed on Spanish Ranch to meet water purity requirements for domestic water. Excess water is left in Silver Creek for wildlife and habitat.

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	Mapping of the contours of Silver Lake by engineers to determine its storage capacity.
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)
f.	Why direct measurement using a device listed in Section 1 is "not locally cost effective"	No power at diversion point Other
	Explanation of why use of devices and technologies listed in Section 1 are "not locally cost effective"	Calculation of the volume of water taken into the pipeline (diameter and flow rate) from the point of diversion to the location of its use was made. That volume of water flows through the pipeline to Spanish Ranch were it is applied where needed and the excess returns to Spanish Creek (below its confluence with Silver Creek).
g.	Method(s) used as an alternative to direct measurement	Other
	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	12 houses, 4 trailers; minor amounts
Irrigation	150 Acres
Stockwatering	60-80 cows and horses
Other	Dust abatement, in-stream, and fire protection

7. Changes in Method of Diversion
Domestic use is primarily provided for by groundwater from wells. Minor amounts of water is used for domestic uses such as gardens, lawns, keeping yards green for fire prevention, etc. The excess water diverted is returned to the watershed for wildlife and habitat. The diverter is investigating the feasibility of creating a hydro-powered electrical generation facility.

8. Conservation of Water
a.	Are you now employing water conservation efforts?	Yes
	Describe any water conservation efforts you have initiated	Domestic water now comes from groundwater wells.
b.	Amount of water conserved	0.50 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?	Yes
b.	Amount of groundwater used	0.5 Acre-Feet
	I have data to support the above surface water use reductions due to the use of groundwater.	No

11a. Additional Remarks
The prior reports submitted for 2014 needed to be amended to show correct estimated savings by use of groundwater for domestic uses. Prior 2014 reports show "50" acre feet, but that number should be closer to "0.5" (1/2) Acre Foot. This amount has not been measured. Subsequent reports should reflect more accurate measurement of groundwater as metering of use is commenced in the future.
