PURPOSE
Water Right Solutions, LLC (WRS) will complete the Proof of Appropriation Report of
Examination for purposes of obtaining a final water right certificate for S3-28876P(A). The
Report for the south portion of the property has been largely completed, but the remaining
portion —just east of Lowe's — remains to be finished. Water has not yet been put to full use on
these acres, and so the final report has yet to be completed. It is expected that the land will be
under full production and water put to full beneficial use for the 2021 irrigation season which
will allow establishing use of water for this portion and thus certification of the entire water
right.
SCOPE OF WORK
The primary tasks, together with time estimate are as follows:
1. Conduct on on-site field investigation documenting/confirming the irrigation system,
irrigated acres, and crops grown. Verify that permit provisions have been met.
2. Conduct an analysis of aerial and satellite photographs to delineate irrigated area within the
place of use of Permit S3-28876P(A).
3. Calculate estimated water use based on crops/acres grown, irrigation system, power records
and/or water meter records, if available.
4. Prepare a final Proof Report of Examinations, documenting findings and making
recommendations as to the attributes of a final water right certificate — this is to include both
the north and south portions of S3-28876P(A).
5. Provide a review copy to the landowner(s) for review and comment. Meet with staff to
discuss, answer questions, if necessary. Upon landowner authorization, submit to Ecology for
review.
6. Respond to questions/concerns from Ecology, provide any follow up information which may
be required.
COST ESTIMATE
The not to exceed cost estimate for this project is $2000. Unforeseen complications can extend
the hours necessary for completion of the project, should issues arise which could delay or
extend the project, approval will be obtained prior to proceeding.
