Document Description
The applicant seeks a right to continue to divert 1.34 cfs from the underflow of San Juan Creek. Water has been pumped from the creek at three existing wells, via three 40 horsepower pumps and discharged into two 4.8-acre feet capacity reservoirs. The applicant is now using two 25 horsepower pumps instead of the three pumps noted in application A030171. The water has been used to irrigate golf course lands, recently reaching 115 acres in size, since 1964. Applicant has been utilizing existing facilities pursuant to belief that the pumping was from percolating groundwater. A subsequent SWRCB staff analysis showed that the applicant was actually pumping from a subterranean stream. The current project is to acquire water rights to the existing diversion and use of water.
