Mr. Paul Bruss <br />July 29, 2015 <br />Page 5 <br />the reporting period. The proposed accounting form is provided in the attached Table 4. <br />10. The name, address, and phone number of the contact person who will be responsible for the <br />operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the accounting forms submitted to <br />the Division Engineer and the Water Commissioner, <br />11. The Applicant shall perform an inspection and provide verification that the land associated <br />with the changed water right in this SWSP has been removed from irrigation during the term <br />of this SWSP. Verification of dry -up must be in the form of an affidavit signed by an <br />individual with personal knowledge of the dry -up for the entire irrigation season for each <br />parcel of land associated with the change of water right in this SWSP. By November 30, <br />2015, the Applicant shall provide an affidavit to the Water Commissioner and Division <br />Engineer that confirms dry -up during the 2015 irrigation season. For 2016, the Applicant <br />shall provide a written notification to the Water Commissioner and Division Engineer by <br />March 15, 2016 identifying the lands to be dried-up for the 2016 irrigation season. By <br />November 30, 2016, the Applicant shall provide an affidavit to the Water Commissioner <br />and Division Engineer that confirms dry -up during the 2016 irrigation season. <br />The historical consumptive use attributed to the changed surface water right(s) under this <br />SWSP shall not include ground water contributions. As a result, the historical consumptive <br />use ("HCU") credit calculated for the subject water right to be changed by this SWSP shall <br />be reduced by any ongoing sub -irrigation from ground water. In order to ensure the <br />required dry -up conditions exist during the approval period of this SWSP, and to ensure no <br />sub -irrigation from ground water is occurring, the Applicant shall provide records of monthly <br />monitoring of depth to ground water for all land associated with the change of water right in <br />this SWSP. Information regarding depth to ground water may be provided using existing <br />irrigation wells, existing or new monitoring wells, or piezometers located on the dried-up <br />fields. Applicant may utilize wells or piezometers located within % mile of each field <br />provided that the Applicant can demonstrate the depth to ground water information <br />available off-site is representative of the depth to ground water on the dried-up land. The <br />Applicant shall modify its accounting to reduce the amount of the calculated HCU that may <br />be claimed in this SWSP according to the table below. Measurements taken at the start of <br />each month will determine the necessary reduction in credit to be applied during the <br />following month. The Applicant may use another methodology upon review and prior <br />approval by the State Engineer and Division Engineer. (Construction of monitoring <br />holes/wells, or piezometers requires that permits or notices be obtained as described in <br />Table 1 of the Water Well Construction Rules.) <br />Depth to Ground <br />Water (Feet) <br />Percent Reduction in Calculated HCU' <br />Native Grass Alfalfa <br />1 <br />85% 100% <br />2 <br />50% 90% <br />3 <br />30% 75% <br />4 <br />20% 50% <br />5 <br />15% 35% <br />6 <br />10% 20% <br />7 <br />5% 15% <br />8 <br />0% 10% <br />
