8.0 PROJECT ANALYSIS <br />8.1 Water Rishts <br />The water rights associated with the Klein Farm are currently under contract and closing is expected <br />to occur in December 2009. This acquisition includes five shares of LLDC, two and seven-eighths <br />shares of LLRC, two irrigation wells plus approximately 240 acres of land with improvements. The <br />LLRC shares have little consumptive use value, as the shares are used for supplementing the LLDC <br />shares, which is typical of the entire Latham irrigation system. A historical consumptive use (HCU) <br />analysis concluded that the LLRC shares contributed 4.8 percent to the total HCU for the farm. <br />Results of the HCU analysis for the Klein water rights determined a total of 292.9 acre-feet of HCU <br />for the entire farm and that an average of 278.8 acre-feet of consumptive use (95.2 percent of the <br />total HCU) can be expected in a change of use of the five LLDC shares. Figure 2 shows the general <br />location of the Klein Farm parcel along with the Schmidt Site. <br />-7- <br />
