irrigation season. By October 1, 2012 the Applicant shall provide an affidavit to the water
commissioner and division engineer that identifies and confirms the lands that were dried up
during the 2012 irrigation season in order that the final determination of augmentation credits
for the irrigation season can be made along with mapping showing any revisions to the dried -
up acreage. The Applicant shall modify accounting to reflect that the credit from any dried up
fields containing alfalfa or native grass was assessed in the following manner:
(a) For fields deep tilled or chemically treated to successfully kill alfalfa or native grass,
100% credit will be given for consumptive use as otherwise computed under the
conditions of this approval.
(b) For fields not deep tilled or chemically treated to successfully kill alfalfa, records of
monthly monitoring of depth to groundwater at existing irrigation wells or existing or
new monitoring wells or piezometers within '/4 -mile of each alfalfa or native grass field
must be maintained. Credits will be reduced according to the following table when
depth to groundwater is less than the depth assumed to provide no significant
contribution to alfalfa growth. Measurements taken at the start of each month will
determine the necessary reduction in credit to be applied during the following month.
The applicant may use another methodology upon review and approval by the state
engineer and division engineer.
