<br />001'953 <br /> <br />2.1.3 Robbins Ranch--The proposal is to utilize Mancos Project facilities to annually divert up <br />to 2.521cfs from the Mancos River for a period of 75 days (mid May-late July), with a <br />maximum diversion not to exceed 375 af. The Robbins Ranch is a private water right, decreed in <br />1893 with an appropriated date of 1877 (see attached application for change of water rights). <br />Under this proposal, Robbins Ranch water will be diverted through the Mancos Project diversion <br />facility on the West Mancos River, flow southwesterly along the Inlet Canal, through the Jackson <br />Gulch Reservoir, then south down the Outlet Canal, and be intercepted/diverted at the Crader <br />turnout (private carriage system) located approximately 100 yards west of the confluence of the <br />outlet canal and the West Fork of the Mancos River, and then flow south through the pipe to the <br />Robbins Ranch property. . <br /> <br />This water supplements project water received by the Robbins Ranch:'l:md be utilized to irrigate <br />130 acres of pasture and grass. Acreage to be irrigated has preyiouslyf)een plowed and irrigated <br />- - - . <br />(previously disturbed). This would be a new contract wi~Recltunation, arii.lthe Mancos Project <br />facilities have not been utilized in the past to provide c;amage of this water.Tm!; water was <br />conveyed through an existing private diversion andcailal. The benefit to the R6'bpips Ranch is <br />using Mancos project facilities will provide greaterhellclpressu~'and allows for spJ;i.nkler <br />irrigation, a more efficient use of this water. Carriage ofth.i:s water-through Manc.0s Project <br />facilities is subject to the specific requirements of the BON;:contract terms and conditions, and <br />Findings of this NEP A EA (see attached draft contract). <br /> <br />'. <br /> <br />2.2 Contract Terms and Conditions <br /> <br />"~' .-- <br /> <br />The following is the list of tegns and conditions unp.er which,a1),three carriage contracts would <br />be governed: ,...'; ''"' . <br /> <br />..-, --".;'-' <br />- ... - . <br />,---' - - <br />--."'.. -. <br />1.

Water Measurement: Corltl'actors ''Will be required to provide for installation, operation, and <br />maintenance ot'~:@li'Jopriate measuring devices in a manner and at locations satisfactory to <br />Reclamation and'tlie';Qistrict1and shall provide an annual accounting of the amount of non- <br />project water carried:< <br /> <br />4. Acreage Limitation: Acreage limitations in the Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 (RRA) do <br />not apply to WCUA projects. Acreage limitation for WCUA projects is determined by a farm <br />unit size study on each individual project. The Mancos Project is subject to a farm unit size of <br />750 acres, pursuant to the contract amendment dated May 10,2000. Public Law 106-549 does <br />not specify any provisions for acreage limitation; therefore, Reclamation proposes to impose the <br />same farm unit size limitation on non-project water carried pursuant to Public Law 106-549 as is <br />applied on project water deliveries on the Mancos Project. <br /> <br />8 <br />
