There are three ownership <br />groups, each having a 1131ntere5t in the proposed recharge project. A 1/3 Interest in the project <br />will be held by D. Kevin Vollmer. a 1/3 interest by Michael Gass, and the remaining 1/3 Interest held <br />by 5 separate entities know collectively as the Merino Properties Group, represented by Mark A. <br />Kross. Together they farm about 1000 acres of sprinkler and flood Irrigated land. Some of the <br />ground is Irrigated with direct flow water and some has reservoir water. All of the ground Is irrigated <br />with 11 tributary groundwater wells, with some of the land relying solely on the wells. The water Is <br />typically used to Irrigate com, alfalfa, beans, and wheat. The 11 wells are currently augmented <br />under the Logan Well Users (LWU) plan of operation, and produce approximately 800 acre-feet of <br />depletions per year, with _approximately 560 acre-feet of summer time depletions and approximatery <br />240 acre-feet of winter time depletions. There Is an existing recharge area on the property owned <br />by the Merino Properties Group, constructed in Fall 2003, covering an area of 22 acres. The <br />proposed project will add a recharge well at the river, 6000 lineal feet of pipe, and two new recharge <br />areas located on land owned by Michael Goss. Four existing wells will be connected to the <br />pipeline as augmentation wells to return water to the river when necessary. <br /> <br />".,~ <br />to-o:"', : <br />'-,-.' <br /> <br /> <br />Location Map <br />
