DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WORKS <br />The proposed rvor*s include a total of up to 100 wellq supplying up to I,000 gallons per minute (gpm) of wator for domestic supply for up <br />to 145 r€sidences, using an average of350 gallons per residence per day year-round" and inigating up to 500 square fe€t (sq. ft.) per <br />residence for a total of 1.664 irrigakd acres. The wells and places of use will be within the place of use desaibed above. This describes <br />the total system and total water quantities and devoloprnent authorized for this Swauk Water Banb in sum, utilizing the eiglrt (8) different <br />groundwater sourccs ofsupply, $rder aulhority of8 pennits, G4-35541-G4-35548. <br />The authorized place ofus is owned by multiple private landowners. The intention ofthe combined applicants is to obtain permits <br />authorizing the use of public grormdwater in the requested mnounts to be mitigated by a portion of the 1877 First Creek Water Users <br />Association water righr The 18?7 water rights provide water budget ileuhality, required by WAC 173-539A, for up to 145 new domestic <br />uses within the dofined portion ofthe Swauk Creek subbasin. <br />A mix of individual and small public water supply systcms will be devoloped. <br />ln sum, the total withdrawal ofwater from all I different groundwater sources shall not sxcged the quantities authorized for ths Swauk <br />CreekWaterBank: uptol00wells,uptol,000gpmofwaterfordomesticsupplyforuptol45hornes,includingupto500sq.ftof <br />inigation pcr rcsidence for a total of 1.664 acrcs ofresidential inigation, <br />rULL USE <br />October 31,2013 October 31,2033 <br />General <br />You (applicant) will resord with the Kittitas County Auditor e pmperty covenant as required undu WAC 173-539A-050 thal rostricts or <br />prohibits tees or shrubs over a septic drain field. <br />You (applicaut) tvill record wifb the Kitfitas Cormty Auditor an appropriate conveyanco instrument under which the applicant obtairu an <br />interest inTrustWaterRigbtNos.

A minimum 100-foot spacing from existing.wells is rcquired <br />in Units I and 2. <br />Wells drilled thrsush Grormdwater Unit 3 (C+35543) and into underlying Groundwater Unit 2 slnll be required, at minimur& to have a <br />solid casing trougfi Unit 3. The location and consauction of any well proposed wit}iu the E%SWZI of Section 34, T' 20 N.' R 17 E.W.M. <br />must receite specific prior review and written approval from the Deparkncnt ofEcolory to ensure that walsr levels within Unit 3 in the <br />vicinity of the Dunford and McCallum Springs will not be lowered by pumping from the new well. <br />Wells drilled !@UgL Groundwat€r Unit 4 (G4-355,14) and into an underlying unit shall be required, ar minimun! to have a solid ca.sing <br />tkough Unit 4. A minimum iO0-foot spacing from existing wells is required withh the Unit 4 boundaries. <br />Within the Unit 4 boundaries, specifically from the southem e),tent of Hidden Valley in the NW% of Section 33, T. 20 N., R 17 E.W.M., <br />north to the northem boundary ofthe proposed place ofuse for these eight permit applicatiors in the S% olsection 22 and extrnding into <br />the SW% of Section23, T.20N., R l7 E.W.M.' <br />Welts drilled throueh Unit 4 into underlying goundwater units shall bb cased and sealed a minimum of 100 feet into the under$ing unit or <br />to a depth identified by the Departrnent ofEcologr technical staffduring coDsultation prior to drilling. <br />Groundwater Unit 5 has rcgions where wells will encounter significanr clays and likely result in low yield and slow recovery wells. <br />Additionally, Unit 5 has areas of perched and +hin saftraled thicknesses. Thersfore, a minimum 100-foot spacing tom existirg wells is <br />required in-Unit 5. If new water ussrs are not able to successfirlly develop a well in Unit 5, they may inslead consider &illing into an <br />unierlying groundwaler unig which depending on locatiog may be Unit ? (G4-.3554?, cental and nortir), UniS 1 or 2 (south and southeast) <br />or Unit 8 (G,t-35548, north). Such wells shall be rcquired to havc a solid casing througlr Unit 5' <br />Wellg Well l,ogs' and Well Construction Standards <br />Ail iels consiricted in the state shall meet the construction requinements of WAC 173-160, titled "Minimum Standards for fte <br />ConstudtionandMaintetanccofWells"andRCWls.l04,titled*Wate.rWellConsfuction."
