<br />~lC~ <br />CU <br /> <br />"""I/Y <br /> <br />Project Service Area and Facilities / <br /> <br />The PRBDC provides irrigation water to a 2596-acre service area in LaPlata County. The <br />heading for the PRB Ditch is located east of the Town of Bayfield, above Beaver Creek, and <br />extends south and east approximately 11 miles. Irrigated acreage within the service area is <br />primarily used for cattle ranching and to grow hay. Hay crop is used as cattle feed, or is sold. <br />The service area includes irrigable tribal lands of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, and sheep <br />farms, one running about 500 head. A map of the PRB Ditch and photos of the existing <br />diversion are shown on page 8 and 9. <br /> <br />o ! i <br />/ <br /> <br />Hydrology and Water Rights <br /> <br />The sources of water for the Company are direct flow water rights out of the Pine River, together <br />with storage water assigned by the Pine River Irrigation District in the Vallecito Reservoir. The /' <br />water rights diverted at the PRBDC headgate consist of 3 rights totaling 36.36 c.f.s.: 15.36 c.f.s. <br />and 4.0 c.f.s. appropriated March 24,1913 and adjudicated June 12,1934, and 17.0 c.f.s. <br />appropriated May 31,1954 and adjudicated December 31,1990. Diversion records are difficult <br />to accurately itemize as records are kept only for the Schroder Ditch. PRBDC carries <br />approximately 58% of the Schroder annual diversions. The last three years on record present <br />an incomplete picture of average diversions, due to the drought. The average annual diversion <br />for the last five years on record is 15,287 acre feet through the Schroder. At 58%, the average <br />annual diversion for the last five years on record is 8,866 for the Pine River Bayfield ditch. State <br />Engineer Diversion records for the Schroder Ditch, found in Appendix B, cover 51 years. A <br />summary of water rights can also be found in Appendix B. <br /> <br />PRB Ditch Company <br />Siphon Replacement Feasibility Study <br />May 2003 <br /> <br />Page 7 of 15 <br />
