Water Supply Reserve Account – Grant Application Form <br />Form Revised October 2006 <br />_______________________________________ <br />Water Availability and Sustainability – this information is needed to assess the viability and <br />7. <br />effectiveness of the water project or activity. Please provide a description of each water supply <br />source to be utilized for, or the water body to be affected by, the water activity. For water supply <br />sources being utilized, describe its loca tion, yield, extent of development, and water right status. For <br />water bodies being affected, describe its location, extent of development, and the expected effect of <br />the water activity on the water body, in either case, the analysis should take into consi deration a <br />reasonable range of hydrologic variation. Attach additional sheets as needed. <br />Bull Creek reservoir Company holds senior decreed water rights (1895 to 1935) for <br />861.22 AF of water. Over one - half of these storage rights cannot be filled du e to either <br />safety restrictions (approximately 363 AF) , or because the reservoirs were originally <br />constructed smaller than the fully decreed storage right (118.77 AF) . <br />A hydrology study indicate s there is enough water in the watershed to fill these rights by a <br />factor of four (4). A hydrology study was completed in 2006. It is available from the <br />Company or from CWCB files. <br />The enlargement of the spillway for Bull Creek Reservoir No. 5 will assist in maintaining <br />existing senior water rights in Bull Creek Reservoirs Nos. 1, 2 and 5. This is because a <br />filling restriction can be avoided by increasing the spillway capacity. Simultaneously, <br />safety to the public will be enhanced. It will also allow Bull Creek Nos. 1 and 2 to be <br />maintained as both viable stor age of irrigation and reserve domestic water, and will allow <br />two Gold Medal fisheries to continue to thrive. <br />8. <br />If you have not specifically and fully addressed the Evaluation Criteria found in Part 3 of the criteria <br />and guidance document please provide additional detail here. Attach addi tional sheet(s) if needed. <br />Two of the Company’s reservoirs (Bull Creek Res ervoirs Nos. 1 and 2) are currently Gold <br />Me d al fisheries. All five of the reservoirs owned by the Company are used as recreational <br />amenities by the public in the GMUG National Fores t . All f ive reservoirs are operated as <br />one unit, to maximize water delivery and simultaneously maintain fishery pools . <br />8 <br />
