Part 4 Project Water Plan <br />additional 353.8 acre-feet per year of consumptive use during the April 1 through October 15 <br />irrigation season. <br />In addition to the transfer of water rights and Order Pendente Lite from the mainstream Yakima <br />River, Suncadia applied to Ecology to transfer eleven water rights in four Yakima River tributaries. <br />These tributary water rights are to be transferred to instream flows in mitigation of impacts from <br />the transfer and use of the Yakima River water rights. Ecology approved the transfer of water <br />rights from two of the four tributaries, Big Creek and the Teanaway River, on May 10, 2002. <br />Transfers of the two remaining tributaries, Swauk and First Creeks, were approved by Ecology on <br />January 7, 2004. Ecology's transfer authorizations for Swauk and First Creek rights were appealed <br />to the Yakima Superior Court. The appeal remains pending as of the date of this Plan. Suncadia, <br />LLC has filed a motion with the Yakima Superior Court to authorize conveyance of all of its water <br />rights from the four tributaries to the State Trust Water Program for mitigation of consumptive <br />water use or other cumulative impacts by the Suncadia Resort for the 2005 and subsequent <br />irrigation seasons which was approved by the Yakima Superior Court during its regularly <br />scheduled Oversight Hearing on February 10, 2005. There are limitations imposed by Ecology on <br />the consumptive use portion of the Pautzke water rights until the tributary rights are transferred <br />to the State Trust Water Program. The tributary water rights and Suncadia's general mitigation <br />strategy is discussed in more detail in Chapter 4 of the June 2001 WSP. <br />Phase 1 Division 12 System Description <br />The preliminary transmission and distribution system for Phase 1 Division 12 is illustrated on the <br />enclosed Conceptual Utility Plan. The water for Phase 1 Division 12 will be supplied by the MPR <br />water reservoirs. The reservoirs are located in the northeast section of the MPR. <br />The project site will propose a looped 8 -inch diameter main that will connect to the water main <br />in Suncadia Trail. All homes are to be fire sprinklered on site. Hydrants will be placed at a <br />maximum of 500 feet spacing. Fire flow calculations were developed using a flow of 1500 gallons <br />per minute at 20 pounds per square inch (psi) pressure. <br />September 2016 Phase 1 Division 12 Engineering <br />Summary <br />Encompass Engineering & Surveying <br />
