2. Decreed alternate point wells -Wells decreed as alternate points to surface water rights <br />were identified based on: <br />• Review of the DWR straightline diagrams for Water Districts 1 and 64. <br />• Identification of Water Court case numbers involving the change to Decreed alternate <br />point wells. <br />• StateView water rights queries of well structures tied to the Water Court Case numbers. <br />• Discussion with Water Commissioner Brent Schantz. <br />• The Division 1 Alternate Point Of Diversion (APOD) database was reviewed to resolve <br />any outstanding issues. <br />Irrigated parcels tied to Decreed alternate point wells were identified as not requiring <br />augmentation when pumped based on the surface water rights' priorities. Note it is possible <br />some decreed alternate point wells are in augmentation plans to address river depletions <br />caused by pumping when the associated surface water rights are not in priority to divert. <br />3. Coffin Wells -The Coffin wells, decreed non-tributary in Civil Action 11217, were <br />tabulated based on the recommendation of Division 1 personnel of a StateView water right <br />query of Water Source GRNDWTR-1953 ADJ. Irrigated parcels tied to the Coffin wells <br />were identified as not requiring augmentation. <br />4. Wells Requiring Augmentation -River depletions caused by pumping of wells not included <br />within the designated basins, decreed alternate point wells, or Coffin wells require <br />augmentation. Associations of augmentation plan IDs with well IDs and other plan structures <br />(e.g., ditches, recharge sites) are available in HydroBase. Doug Stenzel, the Division of <br />Water Resources (DWR) database manager, developed a summary output file in MSExcel <br />that provided LRE with a complete database of plan associations for this task based on <br />HydroBase (Version 20060816). <br />• The database of augmentation plans maintained at the Division 1 office has associations <br />for about 570 augmentation plans, including both decreed and pending ditch and non- <br />ditch plans. According to Les Dalby, the Division 1 office adds the well ID/augmentation <br />plan ID/recharge site ID association as information on existing and newly filed plans is <br />added to HydroBase. <br />• Historically, IDs for augmentation plans and IDs for existing and projected recharge sites <br />were entered when an augmentation plan was decreed. Augmentation plans IDs were <br />then associated with well IDs. <br />• House Bill 1414 passed in 2002 and required filing of an augmentation plan with the <br />Water Court as a condition of substitute water supply plan (SWSP) approval. Since <br />HB 1414 was passed, IDs for augmentation plans and associated plan IDs with wells IDs <br />are entered when the SWSP is approved. Recharge sites are assigned IDs either when <br />they are first used (and have diversion records recorded in HydroBase), or once the <br />decree has been adjudicated. In the latter case, a recharge site ID is assigned a Currently <br />In _Use (CIU) code of I-Inactive structure, if it has not been used, or a CIU code of N- <br />Non-existent structure, if it has not been constructed when the SWSP is approved or the <br />augmentation plan is decreed. <br />Sof16 <br />
