[SUMMARY OF FINAL SUBMITTED VERSION]
SUPPLEMENTAL STATEMENT OF WATER DIVERSION AND USE FOR
2018
Primary Owner:
MARK JAMES DOWDLE
Statement Number:
S024363
Date Submitted:
06/30/2019
1. Water is used under |
Riparian Claim
|
2. Year diversion commenced |
1930
|
3. Purpose of Use
|
Domestic |
2-8 persons (NO lawn or cannabis!), vegetable garden. Total area served presently less than one (1) acre of the parcel.
|
Stockwatering |
Up to 10 livestock, dogs and poultry flock.
|
4. Changes in Method of Diversion |
No significant changes. Water is solar-pumped from well or stream to storage tanks. Measured flow of solar pump (stopwatch & container method) ranges from 1.25 to 2.0 gpm with variability due to solar availability. [GPM will be reduced in 2019-year reporting due to recent implementation lower-wattage solar panels to better match solar controller. The use of poly storage tanks enables us make slow-rate diversions so as to not adversely affect in-stream flows, fisheries or riparian habitat.

8. Conservation of Water |
a. |
Are you now employing water conservation efforts? |
Yes
|
Describe any water conservation efforts you have initiated |
We have been consistently engaged in improving watershed health on this property throughout the past decade. Much has been done in partnership with the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS-USDA), Weaverville office. Our efforts focus on forest health, hazardous fuels (brush) reduction, wildlife habitat improvement and oak woodlands restoration. We have also planted native cedar along the riparian corridor for shade to cool surface water temperatures for salmonids and amphibians. Studies indicated these efforts cumulatively contribute to the hydrologic cycle and help ensure a protected and healthy watershed.
We just completed a three-year NRCS contract that addressed all the above and are about to start a new three-year contract with NRCS in 2019 that will help continue these efforts.
We continue implementing drip irrigation, rainwater harvesting, greywater use as appropriate and always pay very close attention to water consumption.
Our water conservation efforts have not been quantified. We had a water well developed on this parcel with the intention of minimizing or avoiding reliance on surface waters. Is is a very low producing well. We rely on poly water storage tanks and very-low-gpm solar pumping during appropriate times to avoid impacts to the riparian habitat.
|
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 |
The reminder to submit our water diversion report is helpful and appreciated. Thank you.
