8.6 Describe your procedures for remaining in compliance with the provisions of <br />your existing water right. <br />NIA <br />8.7 1 if a water measuring device was installed, provide your measurement data. <br />No measuring device is installed. <br />8.8 If a measuring device was not installed, do the pumps have a dedicated power <br />meter(s)? If so, provide an estimate of water use using the power consumption <br />to water consumption equation described in WAC 173-173-160(2). <br />Water is conveyed to the property under gravity, so no power records are available to estimate water <br />use. <br />S.9 Iif no water use data are available, estimate annual use by using an alternative <br />method and explain your methodology. <br />The annual irrigation water use is estimated up to 1,075.3 acre-feet per year consistent with Ecology <br />GUID-1210. The methodology to obtain this number is by multiplying the irrigated land (56 acres) by <br />the adjudicated water duty (19.2 feet per year). <br />8.10 j Provide aerial photos, remotely sensed images, or other information and <br />explain how they support the historic use. <br />Satellite imagery showing continuous beneficial use since 2000 is included as Attachment 2. <br />Water Used for Irrigation <br />8.11 If changing the purpose of use, refer to the Provisions section of your water <br />right document to determine whether the right is subject to the Family Farm <br />Water Act. if so, contact the appropriate Ecology regional office prior to <br />completing this form (refer to map on page 1). <br />NIA <br />8.12 Describe your irrigation scheduling practices (e.g., frequency and duration of <br />irrigation sets). Describe how data from soil moisture probes, weather <br />forecasts, crop inspection, or other irrigation scheduling techniques were used <br />to determine irrigation practices. <br />Water is diverted from Reecer Creek where it crosses Dry Creek Road, located approximately 0.4 <br />miles north from the place of use. Diverted water is gravity conveyed southward in a buried pipe that <br />undershoots Highway 10 and discharges to an unlined ditch. The unlined ditch flows through a red <br />clay pipe that undershoots the Northern Pacific Railroad before delivering water to a concrete ditch <br />beginning at the northeast corner of the property. <br />The property has been historically irrigated using surface irrigation methods. A concrete -lined ditch <br />delivers water under gravity to the northernmost portions of the field for surface (furrow) irrigation. <br />Water is collected and redistributed throughout the central and southern portions of the field using a <br />series of unlined and concrete -lined ditches. <br />Sections 6-11 Form No. ECY 040-1-97 (Rev 01-2020) Page 5 of 11 <br />
