CONCLUSIONS

The fOllowing conclusions are made with regard to the historic use
of the subject water rights.

1. A combined typical diversion season of the two ditches in
the past has been April through October.

. 2 . . The average and maximum annual diversions associated with
the subject water rights are:

Average Maximum
Annual Annual
Pioneer Union 525 af 782 af
Hodgson Ditch 47 af 87 af
3. The maximum monthly diversions associated with the
subject water rights for the study period are:
Month Pioneer Hodqson
March 16 af o af
April 91 3
May 185 14
June 271 21
July 249 25
August 178 20
September 118 15
October 101 16
November 18 0
4. Historic irrigated acreage thus far identified with
shares owned by Lakewood total:

pioneer Union Ditch
Hodgson Ditch

141 acres
9 acres

The acreage associated with the subject water rights in
the Pioneer Union Ditch is approximately 139 acres. This
allows the continued use of irrigating the city pursery
of approximately 2 acres. Thus, a total of 148 acres of
historic irrigation compar~s favorably to the proposed
