winter. He needed a backup plan so when the house well broke, he had a way to water his <br />COWS. <br />"Sinkhole" or depressions were discussed again, I stated that I wanted to survey the <br />Burbridge property after they got the hay off and see if there were any negative flow <br />depressions. Buckshot thought that several locations would need to be disc and leveled <br />and then topsoil would need to be brought in. I didn't say anything. Then he mentioned <br />about not being able to afford siderolls. I mentioned that he should go ahead and make <br />an offer on the siderolls in place of doing all the earth work. He thought that would be a <br />good idea and would go home and consider that option. I told Buckshot that WFC would <br />consider any offer but we held the right to refuse the offer too. He understood. <br />Buckshot had concerns about the Garvey - Burbridge pipeline and would it be big enough <br />to deliver Burbridges shares of water `plus' all the water that `may' come out of the risers <br />that are more in the WFC /Garvey /San - Miguel fields. I told Buckshot that WFC could not <br />design and install irrigation systems for the absolute worse case scenarios of what -if land <br />owners buy what -if parcels of land and transferred all their water to those parcels. He <br />understood. I also mentioned that water delivered to their property line would have zero <br />quantity loss from the head gate (loading box) to his property. Buckshot understood that <br />and said they thought they lost 50% of their water from the time it left the West Lateral to <br />their property under the old open ditch system. I also pointed out they `could' benefit by <br />receiving more irrigation water from the present pipeline, loading box. That `if' the big <br />pipeline was overflowing water down the hill, that the excess water would backup and go <br />around and fall into the smaller pipeline ( Burbridge, Garvey, Benson, etc. pipeline). That <br />if the Burbridges worked with other land owners on the same pipeline and shared their <br />water, all could benefit. Buckshot said they had done that in the past with the Garveys. <br />He thought about that and the light bulb came on. He liked that. <br />The informal meeting concluded with a handshake and a smile. He went back to cutting <br />hay and I heading back to the office. <br />{00056962.11 <br />
