5. Water Diversion Measurement
a.	Measurement	Direct measurement using a device listed in Section 1 is "not locally cost effective" for water directly diverted and/or diverted to storage
b.	Types of measuring devices used	Other: Visual estimates, historic uses
c.	Additional technology used
	Description of additional technology used	N/A
d.	Who installed your measuring device(s)
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"	Diversion is small or minimal in size No power at diversion point
	Explanation of why use of devices and technologies listed in Section 1 are "not locally cost effective"	This claim is for waters from Gold Lake. These waters currently flow from Gold Lake down a natural stream, Jacks Meadow Creek, to Silver Creek where the water is subject to diversion to Spanish Ranch by way of the same pipeline as described in S004761. Most water from S004762 currently remains in the watercourse for Fish and Wildlife Enhancement. A project to improve the Point of Diversion and pipeline to Spanish Ranch to provide for efficient diversion and measurement of amounts diverted is currently before the USFS. See description in Statement for S004761 for additional information.
g.	Method(s) used as an alternative to direct measurement	Modeled/estimated flows
	Explanation of method(s) used as an alternative to direct measurement	Estimates are based upon information from original uses and license, that occurred over the many years this use has been occurring. Improvements in the Point of Diversion currently proposed and being reviewed by USFS will provide better data. The location where the water leaves Gold Lake in within a federally protected Wilderness Area and equipment and construction are prohibited.

6. Purpose of Use
Domestic	Landscapint, 12 houses, 8 trailers
Dust Control	Along road from gravel pit past houses
Irrigation	115 Acres Pasture
Stockwatering	30-60 cattle
Fish and Wildlife Preservation and Enhancement	Water left in creek

7. Changes in Method of Diversion
None

8. Conservation of Water
a.	Are you now employing water conservation efforts?	No
	Describe any water conservation efforts you have initiated
b.	Amount of water conserved	Acre-Feet
	I have data to support the above surface water use reductions due to conservation efforts.

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
Future uses of this water include hydro-electric generation from improvements in the pipeline and point of diversion. This will occur several years in the future, but the water right is essential for the development of this carbon-free and renewable off-stream generation of power.
