2.04.7 Hydrology Description
not visible from the air photographs were then located by standard field
mapping procedures.
The Operator considered seeps and springs synonymous during the
hydrology investigation. Ponds were presumably recharged by colluvial
seepage and as such no quality information is obtained forthe ponds unless
they are discharging. Within the permit area seeps are common, especially
where colluvial material has been excavated to form storage ponds or roads.
Seeps are also common at the toe of colluvial material where the material
lies within a defined drainage. Seeps are presumably important in
maintaining discharge into storage ponds. Typical flows are approximately
less than five gallons per minute and most flows infiltrate back into the
ground before reaching a stream.
The Operator has water rights on ten springs located within or adjacent to
the permit boundary that are decreed water rights shown on Map 23 - Water
Rights Location. See the following table. The J & M Springs & Pipelines are
claimed for domestic and stock watering purposes. Water right numbers 1
and 3 are decreed for 4 gallons per minute. Number 2 is decreed for 2 gpm.
Numbers 4 and 5 are decreed for 5 gpm. The Bowie Spring S -3 is decreed
for 15 gallons per minute. The Leonard Spring No. 1 and 2 and the Barrow
Spring and pipeline water rights each have an absolute decree of 0.10 cfs.
The decreed water rights located on the Applicant's land are owned by the
Applicant. The left column on the table below is the map code shown on
Map 23.

The USDA -FS has eight decreed water rights within the permit boundary.
See following table and Map 23. Six of the water rights are ponds and two
are springs and ponds. One of the ponds, water rights 84, has not been field
verified or monitored by the Operator. Water right 93 is a pond for which the
FS is unable to ascertain a location. Four of the FS water rights have been
assigned a range improvement inventory numbers (RIIN).
