<br />los <br /> <br /> 1 water that will injure other water rights? <br />' 2 MR. HESS: Yes. Part of the concern is <br /> 3 when water is used for irrigation, it results in <br /> 4 return flows which recharge the aquifer. <br /> 5 In this case water is going to be taken <br /> 6 t <br />l <br />d i <br />th <br />i <br />b <br />h <br />t -- <br />h <br /> , rep <br />ace <br />ou <br />n <br />e r <br />ver a <br />ove w <br />a <br />e Sanchez <br />t <br /> 7 Ditch, but, in other words, below the mine, but <br /> 8 above where the water users would start taking it <br /> 9 out. And some of it appears to be used <br /> l0 consumptively in the mine where none of it will <br />' 11 be recharged. <br /> 12 The result is, instead of taking out <br /> 3 0 <br />C <br />f <br />t <br />hi <br />h th <br />l <br />bi <br />R <br />h <br /> 1 acre- <br />ee <br />160 <br />per year, w <br />c <br />e <br />o <br />um <br />an <br />anc <br /> 14 does, resulting in return flows of 800 -- and I use <br /> 15 that as an example because I don't know what the <br />' 16 actual return flows are -- instead, 1600 feet will <br /> 17 be taken out around the site and water wil:,. be taken <br />' 18 -- 1600 feet will be used and cycled in the process <br /> 19 itself and never returned. <br /> i <br /> 20 As a consequence, the water that <br />s <br /> 21 being replenished will result in pure return flows. <br /> 22 That's part of the concern. <br />' 23 UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: Is it also your <br /> 24 contention that (inaudible), that the rule that <br />S 25 decided indicates that the Board should not be <br />AGREN, BLANDO ~ BILLINGS <br />
