WMA Reouest for Grant Monev Under Senate Bill 028-01 <br /> <br />Dear Rod and Hal: <br /> <br />1~~ <br /> <br />By this letter, Lower Arkansas Water Management Association ("LA WMA") requests <br />grants pursuant to your authority under newly-enacted Senate Bill 02S-0 1 for the acquisition of <br />drought emergency augmentation replacement sources, The grants would reimburse LA WMA for <br />acquisitions that it has now made fi'om two sources, both Article II storage water under thc 1980 <br />Operating Agreement. The first is from the Hyde Ditch in the amount of 1 000 acre-feet for $42,00D <br />and second is from the Sisson Ditch, Richard Helfrich, in the amount of approximately 1360 acre.feet <br />for $52,OQO, LA WMA has already made payment from its own account ofthc $40,000 to the Hyde <br />Ditch and seeks reimbursement for that. LA WMA is obligated to make payment to Helfrich for the <br />Sisson water on or before January 10, 2003, Mr, Helfrich desired to receive payment next year for <br />tax reasons, <br /> <br />Attached are copies of the Assignment Imd Bill of Sale on the Hyde and a copy oftbe <br />Agreement and the Assignment and Bill of Sale on the Sisson water. Yesterday I sent a letter to you <br />memorializing the situation on the Hyde Ditch, I attach a copy of that as well. <br /> <br />The situation on the Helfrich acquisition is as follows, Last week Mr. Hclfrich came <br />into the LA WMA office to inquire about the possibility of extending his pumping allowance on his <br />own wells by 500 acre-feet, He indicated he had something over 1900 acre-feet of AI1icle II water <br />that could be used in part for that purpose, Don Higbee advised Helfrich that LA WMA wasn't very <br />interested in extending his pumping allowance but it would be interested in acquiring his Article II <br />
