System <br /> <br />operating plans are part of the improvements which were recommended in the Phase 1 Final <br /> <br />Report of the San Miguel Study. <br /> <br />The purpose of the work summarized in this report was to provide to the ditch companies <br /> <br />information which would assist them in making decisions regarding potential improvements to <br /> <br />system operations which could be implemented through non-structural means. The work was <br /> <br /> <br />done by Boyle Engineering Corporation (Boyle) at the request of the Gurley and Cone ditch <br /> <br /> <br />companies under the sponsorship of the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB). <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 1 is a map of the Study Area showing the locations of the Gurley and Cone systems. <br /> <br />The analyses were conducted using data obtained during irrigator interviews conducted in <br /> <br /> <br />Norwood in September 1989. Farm-specific data obtained during the interviews includes <br /> <br /> <br />irrigated acreage, irrigation method, crop types, irrigation application rates and frequencies, <br /> <br />share ownership, and water leasing arrangements currently in place. Soils data for each parcel <br /> <br />were developed from SCS soils maps and soil surveys. As part of that work effort, a database <br />
