recommended the high water duty `in recognition of the porous nature of the soils, the lands proximity <br />to the Yakima River and the nature of the irrigation system needed to grow timothy hay" <br />(Supplemental Report of Referee Subbasin 7 Page 78). <br />Using Ecology's Guidance Document, GUID-1210, Determining Irrigation Efficiency and Consumptive <br />Use, application efficiency (Ea) was estimated to be approximately 14.4 percent for surface irrigation. <br />This estimate results from a calculation of the annual CIR (2.76 feetlacre) divided by the Court <br />confirmed water duty or Total Irrigation Requirement (TIR; 19.2 feet/acre). <br />In determining percent of consumptive use (%CU), 5 percent was added to the Ea to account for <br />evaporative losses totaling about 19.4 %CU. <br />6.13 Provide an explanation of how the proposed use will not increase the <br />authorized maximum flow rate (Qi) or annual volume (Qa). <br />No water will be used. <br />6.14 For surface water diversions, describe how your plans comply with WDFW fish <br />screening requirements. <br />Under the proposed change no surface water diversions will be used. <br />Development Schedule <br />6.16 Provide a general timeline that includes the steps needed to begin the project, <br />complete the project, and put the water to full beneficial use. <br />Once approved, water will immediately be used for instrearn flow and mitigation. <br />6.16 For changes to water ri hts currently under a development schedule, provide a <br />description of the current status of your project. <br />NIA <br />6.17 1 Identify and discuss other land -use or environmental permits required and the <br />timeline to obtain those permits. <br />No land use or environmental permits are required for the proposed application. <br />7. Related Water Rights <br />7.1 List any other water rights (applications, permits, certificates, or claims) related <br />to this change application. Include any rights that overlap the place of use. <br />No other water rights are used to hydrate the existing place of use. No other water rights are related <br />to this change application. <br />The only overlapping water rights are large -area water rights held by the City of Kittitas, County of <br />Kittitas, and USBR. <br />Sections 6-11 Form No, ECY040-1-97(Rev 01-2020) Page 3 of 11 <br />
