Mr, Jim Schmieding of the Mined Land Reclamation Section has pro- vided us with a copy of your letter concerning the Boyd Irrigation Company shares which apparently have been used on the property. You state that these shares have been used to irrigate approximately 80 percent of the 369 acres in this application or 295 acres and that these shares cannot be transferred to any other property. We would appreciate it if you could send us a copy of the ditch company's by-laws and also identify the water rights owned by the company as well as the number of shares outstanding. Our records indicate that the Boyd Freeman Ditch is located near your property and has been used to irrigate 250 acres the last two years. This may be the water right that has been used on your property, The method of replacing evaporation losses is unclear. Will the water be left in the river at the headgate or will it be delivered to the gravel ponds for augmentation? If the shares are transferable, then a method of permanently attaching the shares to the property should be provided. Also, the yield per share should be determined and only the number of shares necessary to replace evaporation losses be incorporated in the plan.
