<br />companies in the area, since the ultimate goal of the reformulated San <br /> <br /> <br />Miguel Project is to ix.corporate new project features into the existing <br /> <br /> <br />irrigation system. It is suggested that conferences involving all entities <br /> <br /> <br />participating in the study be scheduled to coincide with certain decision <br /> <br /> <br />points. In addition, en oral status report will be provided at two week <br /> <br /> <br />intervals and a written status report at four week intervals. <br /> <br />The study methods employed will include: <br /> <br />1. Determination of ""erage and dry year yields at various storage and <br /> <br /> <br />diversion points using historic data to the extent available, <br /> <br /> <br />supplemented by s:atistical correlation techniques where necessary. <br /> <br /> <br />Yield studies wil:' be performed for a selected historic period and <br /> <br /> <br />will utilize the LOTUS spread sheet program on Western Engineer's DEe <br /> <br /> <br />Hicro-computer. <br /> <br />2. Identification of potential areas of water use. It is anticipated <br /> <br /> <br />that the first nee~s to be served will be for supplemental water for <br /> <br /> <br />land that is prese=tly irrigated but that has less than full supply. <br /> <br /> <br />The location of these lands and the magnitude of the shortage will <br /> <br /> <br />be determined primarily through consultation with local ditch <br /> <br /> <br />companies and ir7igators. Some information in this regard is <br /> <br /> <br />available from the rSBR. Since there is significantly more irrigable <br /> <br /> <br />land in the projec1: area than there is water to serve it, decisions <br /> <br /> <br />will ultimately be required regarding which parcels to serve. These <br /> <br /> <br />decisions will not necessarily be made as a part of this study, but <br /> <br /> <br />data will be develcped, to aid in such selection. Possible criteria to <br /> <br /> <br />aid in a selecticn process would be cost per acre-foot of water <br /> <br /> <br />delivered, quality of land served, length of growing season, interest <br /> <br /> <br />and willingness of present individual land owners to share in the cost <br /> <br /> <br />of development. <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />Preliminary desig=. and cost estimates of <br />general, preliminc.:-:' designs for the various <br /> <br />project <br />proj ect <br /> <br />features.
