Lengthly discussion continued on this matter. Manager will write letter to Mr. Beaver's giving him the Districts permission to go ahead on the ditch. WATER ACQUISITION FILING FOR DONNER LAKE ALLOCATION The Board discussed at a previous meeting the fact that before we engaged Mr. Kienlen in the water acquisition we wanted an estimate from him stating the approximate_cost of the final report. Manager read letter from Martin McDonough, It is his suggestion that the District, as soon as practical, file a completed application with the State Water Resource Control Board to appropriate from Donner Lake its estimated additional 2,020 required over the amount of its operated reliable supply. Instead of drawing water from our Trout Creek Source and Saw Tooth Spring we should take it from Donner Lake. We have confirmed water rights granted to the District temporarily from the Water Resource Control Board at the present. Accompa&fig.- the application would be a letter of transmittal pointing out that the applicant is entitled to a preference. Manager read letter from Mr. Kien �, It will cost the District approximately $3,000.00 for the engineering to be prepared. The engineers will determin water flow records of the Truckee river. The quantities of water measured day be day over about a 15 year period from where Donner Creek runs into the Truckee River to the mouth including the outflow from Prosser Lake. This will then determin how much water is here, The cost for making the study and preparing an application is estimated to be be- tween $1,000,00 and $1,500.00, Estimated cost of engineering would be about $2,000,00 assuming 2 days for hearing and about a week for preparation. Additional engineering assistance will be required in finalizing the agreement with Sierra Pacific Power Company and Truckee-Carson irrigation District. The complete total would be approximately $4,500,00, Director Moore moved and Director Firpo seconded that we engage Mr. Kienlen to study and prepare a final report to present to the State Water Resource Board, So carried.
