This included <br />information submitted by the applicant and pertin_ent Ecology records including stream gage data, <br />adjudication and water rights records, aerial photos and Landsat images, and water resource policy and <br />guidance documents. <br />On November 13, 2017, Meghan O'Brien (Aspect Consulting), Erin Moore {Kittitas County), and James <br />Treat (landowner) conducted a site visit to discuss past and present water use, and to observe irrigation <br />infrastructure. <br />Proposed Use and Basis of Water Demand <br />History of Water Use <br />This water right was confirmed under Court Claim No. 01141, in the Yakima River Basin Water Rights <br />Adjudication for Subbasin No. 10, Kittitas drainage basin, with a Conditional Final Order (CFO) signed on <br />December 4, 2006. There have been no changes to the water right since the signing of the CFO. <br />Water is diverted from a point of diversion north of the property (upstream). Treat uses rocks and <br />tarping to create a temporary diversion dam to direct water into a ditch that flows easterly and <br />southerly to the fields. This primary ditch is bifurcated approximately six times to span the length of the <br />property. Once the water reaches the northern border of the property, it flows into a main ditch and is <br />applied to the fields by small laterals placed at somewhat regular intervals that are used to flood the <br />fields. Tarps and rocks, which were observed onsite, are used to direct the water. <br />Change Report of Examination Page 6 of 15 Water Right File No. CS4-0114lsb10
