' Hr. Larry Reschke -2- January 13, 1982 <br />' 3) The applicant must identify the alternative sources of water supply or <br />sources of augmentation water that could be developed to replace existing <br />sources. The Division is concerned with protecting surface water use in (GMCC) <br />the Ward Creek Valley, the stream itself and adjacent irrigated Lands. <br />Materials pertaining to this issue are being fon+arded for review by <br />' the State Engineer's office. <br />4) No information has been submitted concerning springs in or adjacent.to <br />the permit area. A spring inventory should be conducted and the location Md 2 <br />' of springs shown on a map. p <br />5) The applicant should provide a map at an appropriate scale showing the <br />' Location of all irrigation ditches within the proposed permit area and Mdp $ <br />adjacent area. <br />t 6) The applicant indicates that several stream channels would be recon- <br />structed as a part of reclamation. The applicant should submit stream <br />channel reconstruction plans showing conformance with performance standards (GMCC) <br />found in Rule 4.05.3 or 4.05.4, whichever is appropriate. <br />' Nudrologic Balance: Ground hater (Rules 2.04.5, 2.04.7, 2.05.3(4), <br />' The Division's concerns over ground water, water rights, and monitoring <br />issues can be found in the attached memo from Roy L. Cox. <br />Alluvial Valley Floors (Rules 2.OG.8 and 4.24) $2Ct10n V <br />The Division's review has indicated that there is a strong possibility <br />' of mining affecting ward Creek, which is a possible Alluvial Valley Floor. <br />The applicant contends that no Alluvial VaI1ey Floors (AVF) exist in or <br />adjacent to the permit area because the alluvial gravels are an upland <br />deposit by mass movement and that irrigation is practiced by the furrow <br />irrigation method. No information was provided concerning flood irrigation pp. 80,$5 <br />or s ubi rri ga ti on. <br />The information provided is insufficient for the Division to make a <br />proper Alluvial Valley Floor determination. The following additional <br />information should be provided: <br />1) A rrore detailed surfical geologic map of aIZ potential alluvial valley <br />' floors in or adjacent to the permit area must be provided. These areas <br />designated as flgy appear to be a combination of alluvium-outwash, debris <br />flows, and sediment gravels. Amore careful mapping would identify those ~ <br />areas which meet the criteria of unconsolidated streamlaid deposits. This Map 7 <br />' map should be verified in the field by the Division prior to making an <br />AVF determination. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />
