• Alternative Water Supply Information <br />To determine the uses of water within and surrounding the proposed permit boundary, born aerial <br />and around surveys were performed. Any diversion of surface water flows were noted. <br />Additionally, a survey was performed at the Stale Engineer's office to determine the surface water <br />users in the area. All surface water use in the area is currently for ranching uses of stock watering <br />and irrigation. Several windmills exist in the area and these are also used for ranching. Table <br />2.04.7-4 details existing water rights in the area as listed with the State Engineers office and ~Iap <br />2.04.7-1 identifies the approximate locations of the sites. <br />The Chacon Ditch crosses the main access road and the proposed rail spur embankment. LCC will <br />maintain culverts beneath these structures and construct a feeder ditch along the wes[ side of the <br />rail spur embankment [o facilitate irrigation (Maps 2.05.3-1 and 2.05.3-3, Exhibit 18). <br />LLC has a significant amount of water available for opera ions on the Lorencito Tract, which are <br />presented in Table 2.0=I.7-5. Based on the projected water needs for opera ions on the Tract, <br />Lorencito currenth~ plans to rely on the water rights decreed to four of the irrigation ditches <br />presented in Table 2.0=t.7-5, which have historically irrigated portions of the Lorencito Tract: <br />1. Davis and Ivtar[inez Ditch; <br />• 2. Martinez and Medina Ditch; <br />3. Rafael Cordova Ditch: and <br />4. Velasquez and Chacon No. 2 Ditches. <br />The referenced ditches currentl}' divert water from the main stem of the Purgatoire River, also <br />known as the Las Animas River. <br />The decreed locations for [he headga[es of those ditches are as follows: <br />1. Davis and Martinez Ditch. The headgate is located in the NE '/ , NE ''/r, Section 31, <br />Township 33 South, Range 66 West, 6th PM. <br />2. Martinez and Ivledian Ditch. The headea[e is located in the NE '/a, SW '/ ,Section 32, <br />Township 33 South. Ranee 66 West, 6th PM. <br />3. The Rafael Cordova Ditch.
