The number of shares allocated to fallowed acres will be <br /> based on the number of shares per acre for each Participating Farm. Table 4 below provides the <br /> Pilot Project shares, maximum fallowed shares and the percentage of shares fallowed. <br /> Table 4 <br /> %Shares Fallowed During Years Water is Used <br /> Participating Farm I Pilot Project Shares I Fallowed Shares %Shares Fallowed <br /> Diamond A 1087.0 450 41.40% <br /> Schweizer 195.5 30 15.35% <br /> Mameda 99.0 60 60.61% <br /> Groves 156.2 60 38.40% <br /> Mayhoffer 35.0 35 100.00% <br /> Total 1572.7 635 40.38% <br /> Per the Criteria and Guidelines, the historical consumptive use under the Pilot Project is limited <br /> based on LFT results as follows: (1) the maximum volume of consumptive use in a given month is <br /> based on the average of the three greatest consumptive use results in that month over the study <br /> period, and (2)the volumetric limit for the annual consumptive use amount is based on the average <br /> of the three greatest years over the study period. <br /> The tables required by Section II.G are attached in Appendix B (Diamond A Farm), Appendix C <br /> (Schweizer Farm), Appendix D (Mameda Farm), Appendix E (Groves Farm), and Appendix F <br /> (Mayhoffer Farm) as well as some additional tables generated by the current version of the LFT. <br /> The LFT was run using the Pilot Project historical irrigated acres, identified in Table 2, for each <br /> Participating Farm. The results were then prorated to reflect acre-feet per-acre consumptive use <br /> amounts using the acreage irrigated in the final year of the study period and applied to the acreage <br /> to be fallowed for operations. The results of this analysis indicate that the 635 shares associated <br /> with the lands to be fallowed in years of operation historically provided an average annual <br /> consumptive use of 1,124.8 acre-feet. Note that the LFT indicates a historical maximum (2011) of <br /> 1,399.4 acre-feet per year and a minimum (2002) of 332.6 acre-feet per year for the Subject <br /> Shares. Please see Table 5 below and/or Appendices B through F,Table 14 for a summary of these <br /> values for each farm. <br /> Martin and Wood Water Consultants,Inc. <br />
