The evidence and issues relative to water supply, vested
rights, unappropriated water, interstate division of 'interstate
waters, and conditions and limitations to be imposed in the'public
interest are to a large 'extent identical with the evidence and
issues discussed by the Board in its Decision D..1056, adopted
February 15, 1962, of which the Board takes official notice. In
that decision the Board assumed tto be surplus and unappropriated
the water from Lake Tahoe and the Truckee River stream system
"flowing by Derby Dam which is not required to satisfy decreed
downstream -Indian rights and which wastes into Pyramid Lake." An
analysis of studies of the Department of Water Resources indicated
the availability of unappropriated water. The same conclusion is
indicated by the "Joint Report on the Use of Water in the Lake
TahoeWatershed," prepared by the State Engineers of Nevada and
• California, and dated June 1949 (Staff Exh. 3). As'was the case
in Decision D 1056, careful consideration must be given to quanti-
tative diversion limitations expected to be imposed by the
California -Nevada Compact, covering allocation of water in the
Lake Tahoe Basin. Accordingly, individual applications will be
considered on their own merits and then with respect to maximum
monthly and annual limitations based on requirements. A staff
study (introduced by reference, page 4, transcript of February 27,
1963) indicates, and the Board finds, that it is reasonable to
limit requirements to a per capita use basis not in excess of 250
gallons per' day. .Because no long-term water development projects
are involved, and because of anticipated Compact diversion
limitations, maximum requirements will be based on the year 1970,
as was done in Decision D 1056.
Sierra Nevada dater Company Application 19111 is .for
a permit to appropriate 0.35 cubic foot per second (cfs)., year-
round, from Lake Tahoe for domestic and recreational purposes.
Applicant is a public utility corporation subject to the jurisdic-
tion of the California Public Utilities Commission. Its service
area, known as Dollar Point, is on the northwest side of 'Lake Tahoe,
about 2.5 miles northeast of. Tahoe City. The gross area of the
development is about 185 acres contiguous to Lake Tahoe, all of
which is to be subdivided into residential lots.. Recreational
use of water in a swimming pool is expected to require a flow of
0.02 cfs for six months•of the year. The balance of the 0.35 cfs
requested would be for domestic use. It is possible that monthly
requirements for June through September may exceed this amount.
Application 21398 has been filed by the Company for an additional
supply. The Company's requirements (within limits of Application
19111) are not in excess of 22 acre-feet in a maximum month, or
188 acre-feet in any year.
John A. Fulton (dba Fulton Water. Company) hereinafter
called Fulton' Applications 18248*, 19509 and 19510request
appropriation from Lake Tahoe to serve an area located at the.
*Application 18248 of John A. Fulton was approved by
Decision D 1056 and, after reconsideration, reinstated
by Order adopted on March 14, 1963.
northwest corner of Lake Tahoe, about 5 miles northeast of Tahoe
Citi. Applicant is a public utility under' the jurisdiction of
the Public Utilities Commission. Application 18248 was approved
for year-round diversion, limited to a maximum diversion rate of
0.74 cfs and a total diversion of 280 acre-feet in any year, •
Application 19510 requests year-round diversion at the
rate of 2 cfs for an area almost identical to the place of use
presently authorized for Application 18248. Petitions are now
pending to authorize the identical place of use for both appli-
cations. If approved, ,the newly authorized place of use .would be
similar to that now authorized for Application 18248, except that
it would add a small excluded area, 'As originally filed, each ap-
-.plication proposed a single point of diversion, located about one
•mi1.e ,apart. Petitions are now pending in connection with each
application to add the point of diversion requested in the other •
applications It is -found that no .legal user .of water would be
prejudiced by the =proposed change of place of use or .change of
points of diversion. An order will be entered approving said
petitions.
The Board finds that the total 1970 diversion require-
ments of the area to be served by Applications a 18248 and 19510.
will be about 50.5 acre-feet in a maximum month. and 314 acre-feet
in any.year. Said figures are inclusive of and not in addition to
comparable,amounts already authorized.
Fulton's Application 19509 relates to a separate water
system to serve a separate place of use located about one mile to
-5-
x+
the Southwest of Ful ton's place of use previously described. It
is found that the 1970 diversion requirements for this area will be
about 12 acre-feet in a maximum month (equivalent to a continuous
flow of 0.193 cfs) and 74 acre-feet in any year.
Fulton (and other applicants) will be expressly authorized
to have an instantaneous rate of diversion in excess of that computed
and authorized on a continuous -flow basis,•'provided the maximum
month and amnia! lid s are not exceeded. Such a provision should
permit Fulton to meet its daily peak requirements and comply . with
reasonable requirements of the -Public Utilities Commission without
exceeding monthly or arenua1 limits,
Meyers Water Company (hereinafter called ire. ors
la1ication 19629 requests authority to appropriate 2.33 cfs, year-
round, and to appropriate 104 acre-feet by storage, between Octo-
ber 1 of each year and June 1 of the succeeding year, from Coyote
Creek, a tributary of the lfpper Truckee _River. Meyers is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Tahoe Paradise, Inc., and 'a, public utility
under the jurisdiction of the California :Public Utilities Commission.
Meyers seeks by petition to change the proposed place of
use under Application 19629 to an area of a little over 5,000 acres
identical with the place of use authorized by Decision D 1056 for
appropriation pursuant to its Applications 18021, 18030, 18031,
18038 and 18039. A common distribution system is planned for the
entire area. It is found that the change would not operate to the
injury of any legal user of water from the source involved, and
the consolidated place of use will be authorized.
Since the evidence of requirements with respect to
subject application is for the most part identical with that
introduced by Meyers at the earlier hearing, the Board will regard
the maxir um monthly and annual limits imposed by.Decision D 1056
as still being applicable but will approve subject application for
the purpose of firming the supply and adding flexibility. to' the
system.
A stipulation with the Department of Fish and Game for
the release of water in Coyote Creek for fish preservation was
found reasonable by the Board and approved in the earlier decision.
The Board will again for the same purpose require in the ''natural
channel of Coyote Creek below the proposed dam "a flow of 0.25
cubic foot per second or the natural floc whichever is less."
(Emphasis added). Since the water to be appropriated under Ap-
plication 19629 rises largely from springs which will be inundated
by the reservoir proposed under the filing, the applicant requests
a preconstruction observation period of three years for postconstruc.-
tion use in 'calculating "natural flow." This request is found to
be reasonable, and required commencement of construction will be
postponed to July 1, 1966.
Duncan Se Davis dba Mountain Springs Water Company)
plication 19819 requests appropriation, year-round, from Lake
Tahoe at the rate of 0.42 cubic foot per second for an area at
the north end of the lake known as Agate Bay Development Sites.
The applicant is a public utility under the jurisdiction of the
Public Utilities Commission, and its present source of water is a
spring, Maximum development of the area to be served from Lake.,
Tahoe is expected by 1968, at which time the requirements for a
maximum month are computed as 26 acre-feet and., for beneficial use
of water for a full year, not to exceed 160 acre-feet. The wintertime
practice of "bleeding," or allowing water to run freely for the sole
purpose of preventing freezing of pipes, does not involve beneficial
use of water. Quantities of water requestedfor "bleeding" have
been excluded. For purposes of this computation the Board adopted
the wintertime -summertime ratio of use of the nearby and comparable
Fulton system.
Tahoe City Public Utilit District A •lication 19845
seeks appropriation, year-round, of 7.5 cfs from Lake Tahoe for
'an anticipated service area of 1,000 acres located near the outlet
of Lake Tahoe to the Truckee River, The District now has a service
area of about half. that size which is served with spring water and
some lake water. Utilizing the District's population projections
to 1970 and the 250 gallons per capita, the District's maximum
monthly requirements from all sources are computed as 72 acre-feet
and its annual requirements as 444 acre-feet. Accordingly, monthly
and annual limitations will include water from all sources. The
evidence does not justify adoption by the Board of the District's
daily per capita requirement estimates.
Lawrence H. and Beryl S. Smith and Robert H. Williams
Application 20137 requests appropriation 'of*0.16 cfs, year-round,,
from Lake Tahoe to serve an area of approximately 70 acres located
about 4 miles south of Tahoe City on the westerly side of State.
Highway 89. Maximum month requirements for 1970 are found not to
exceed 9 acre-feet and the annual diversion not to exceed 50 acre-
feet. This application was originally filed in the name of "Kimberly W.
Mosier, resentir the Tahoe Mutual Water Company (not formed at
this date l," (Emphasis added). At the hearing on February 28, 1962,
Mr. Mosier testified that it was definitely intended to incorporate
a mutual water company to serve the place. of use (RT 155), and indi-
cated that shares would be issued to the purchaser of each lot
(RT 151). The application indicates the subdivision is intended to
contain 140 lots, each of which would be dependent on the future
mutual water company for its water supply. Establishment of such
a water company by the applicant would be consistent with the Boardts
rules 751!. and 756, and would simplify administration by the Board
ofappropriative water rights to serve the 140 lots. Accordingly,
it is, found to be in the public interest to require the applicants
to form a mutual water company or arrange for some comparable agency
capable of permanent service to the place of use.
The evidence indicates and the Board finds that unappro-
priated water exists in the Lake Tahoe Basin, including all proposed
points of diversion, and that subject to suitable limitations and
conditions, such water may be diverted and used in the manner.
proposed without causing substantial injury to any lawful user of
water. The intended'use is beneficial.
From the foregoing findings, the Board concludes that
Applications 19111,, 19509, 19510, 19629, 19819, 19845, and 20137
should be approved in part, and that permits should be issued to
the respective. applicants for a total annual quantity .not to
exceed 3990 acre-feet including 3040 acre-feet under earlier
permits issued -pursuant to.Decision D 1056 and subject to limi-
tations and conditions of general or specific applicability as
indicated. 0 0
