• Revised 1/28/80 <br />Section 785.19(c) Continued <br />Ditch Systen was a failure, probably because there was insufficient <br />water available to support crop growth. Aside fran the original home- <br />steaders, no other parties have ever attempted to acquire the water <br />rights and renovate the ditch system for the purpose of irrigation in <br />Eclanan Park. In addition, there is no other historical record of flood <br />irrigation in the adjacent area along Foidel'Creek. Further evidence <br />that the water quantity available far the historical irrigation activi- <br />ties was insufficient is demonstrated by the fact that the water rights <br />decreed for the historical irrigation aze being transferred to different <br />• locations and uses. Application for this change has been made in Water <br />Court Case W-1186 by Energy Fuels. Therefore, the floodplain of Foidel <br />Creek does not meet the historic or current flood irrigation qualifica- <br />tion order water availability criteria for alluvial Valley floors. <br />SUB-IRRIGATION. In order to evaluate the possibility of sub-irrigation <br />fran ground water in the study area, a system of 28 shallow wells was <br />installed to form transacts crossing the valley at 7 locations. The <br />wells were installed in backhce pits to facilitate soil sampling and <br />detailed logging of uncronsolidated materials, and were constructed with <br />perforated PVC casing to enable water monitoring and sampling. The logs <br />of the backhce pits are presented in Exhibit 8, Drill Hole Logs. <br />• Lithologic data from these logs were used in constructing the EClanan <br />Park Stream Channel Cross Sections (Map 51). <br />785-9(y) <br />
