[SUMMARY OF FINAL SUBMITTED VERSION]


SUPPLEMENTAL STATEMENT OF WATER DIVERSION AND USE FOR 2015

Primary Owner: MARK JAMES DOWDLE
Statement Number: S024362
Date Submitted: 06/18/2017
1. Water is used under
Riparian Claim
2. Year diversion commenced 1930
3. Purpose of Use
Irrigation 3 Acres Tree Fruit (other)
Stockwatering Up to 10 livestock
4. Changes in Method of Diversion
We had a well drilled on this parcel to help minimize or avoid reliance on diversion of surface waters. Well was drilled and cased to 300' yet is low production, producing at less than two (2) gallons per minute. Installed poly storage tanks to accommodate use of slow-flow solar pump diversion of surface water. Measured flow (stopwatch & container method)of pump ranges from 1.25 to 2.0 gpm with variability due to solar availability. The use of three (3) poly storage tanks enables us to make all diversions during high flows so as not to adversely affect in-stream flows, fisheries or riparian habitat. On occasion we also use a small Honda water pump running at low rpm (approx. 6-8 gpm) to augment solar water pumping during times of high water flow and limited solar availability.

b. Is diversion measured? No
c. An alternative compliance plan was submitted to the division of water rights on
d. A request for additional time was submitted to the division of water rights on
8. Conservation of Water
a. Are you now employing water conservation efforts? Yes
Describe any water conservation efforts you have initiated Drip irrigation system installed. We recently developed a water well for this parcel to help minimize or avoid reliance on diversion of surface waters. It is a very low production well. We rely on poly water storage tanks and very-low gpm solar pumping during appropriate times to reduce and avoid impacts to the riparian habitat. Well was drilled and cased to 300' yet is low production, producing at less than two (2) gallons per minute. We only apply water to this small cider orchard as needed. Rootstock for grafted fruit trees was selected for drought tolerance.
b. Amount of water conserved
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? No
b. Amount of groundwater used
I have data to support the above surface water use reductions due to the use of groundwater.
Additional Remarks
Well was drilled and cased to 300' yet is low production, producing at less than two (2) gallons per minute. Installed poly storage tanks to accommodate use of slow-flow solar pump diversion of surface water. Measured flow (stopwatch & container method)of pump ranges from 1.25 to 2.0 gpm with variability due to solar availability.
