1 TABULATION AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COUR T FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEVAD A THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Civil No. D-183 BRT Plaintiff, vs. ALPINE LAND & RESERVOIR COMPANY, a corporation, et al., Defendants. FINAL DECRE E FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS OF LAW,

2 FINDINGS OF FAC T I. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter and the parties to thi s proceeding. II. The Carson River and its tributaries are interstate streams and the waters of th e Carson River and its tributaries are fully appropriated. III. Under the Reclamation Act of June 17, 1902, the United States, acting by th e Secretary of the Interior, on July 2, 1902, withdrew from public entry, excepting under the home - stead laws in accordance with the provisions of the Act, the lands required for the government' s first reclamation project, now known as the Newlands Project. IV. The United States has diligently proceeded with the construction of the Newland s Project and has expended over Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) in that construction. The works s o constructed have been used for many years for the storage of Carson River water and the distribution thereof to Project lands. The principal structure of the Project is the Lahontan Reservoi r which was completed at a cost of approximately One Million lour Hundred Thousand Dollar s ($1,400,000). Lahontan Reservoir has a capacity of 295,149 acre-feet to the spillway crest. With 20 inch flashboards on the crest, the capacity is 317,280 acre-feet. The lands of the Newlands Project irrigated or susceptible of irrigation by the waters of the Carson River and its tributaries include 80,000 acres of cultivable lands, 50,000 acres of pasture lands, and 7,500 acres o f land in the Truckee Division of the Project.

3 2 V. There existed prior to July 2, 1902 certain vested rights, owned by old-tim e settlers in Churchill County, in and to the use of waters of the Carson River and its tributaries. The United States, subsequent to July 2, 1902, acquired the right, title and interest of thes e owners in the waters, ditches, dams, and other irrigation facilities and structures and in retur n agreed to construct water storage and distribution facilities and to deliver certain waters t o these owners. VI. Prior to July 2, 1902, there existed under the ownership of Frank W. Inman and hi s wife the right to divert 40 c.f.s. of water of the Carson River with a priority of 1882 for th e purpose of producing power. On February 12, 1912, Frank W. Inman and his wife executed an agreement conveying this power right to the United States. VII. The United States possesses Trust Patents to five riparian rights on the Wes t and East Forks of the Carson River in Alpine County, California, in favor of the following fiv e beneficiary Indians of the Washoe Tribe, in the acreage as : Name Acreag e Dr. Bob Hattie Miller (Cow Bitch) Molly ' s Pete Maggie James GO-DAH-DIC-PETE 8. 25

4 3 VIII. The lands on which the waters of the Carson River and its tributaries are used li e in an arid region of the United States ; to make these lands productive, irrigation thereof is necessary ; these lands vary widely in texture, porosity, terrain, inclination, vegetation, crop use, sub-surfac e stratas and other factors which affect the amount of water necessary to irrigate different portions o f said lands and further affect the amount of water which is returned to the main course by drainage an d and other means ; the various areas require, for proper irrigation and crop productivity varying quantities of water per acre. In the Newlands Project, the water duties are 3.5 acre-feet per acre delivere d to the land for the bottom-land and 4.5 acre-feet per acre delivered to the land for the bench land. In the lands above the Newlands Project the water duties are 4.5 acre-feet per acre diverted to the cana l for the bottom-lands, 6.0 acre-feet per acre diverted to the canal for the alluvial fan lands and 9. 0 acre-feet per acre diverted to the canal for the bench lands. The water duties assigned for the variou s categories of the land are the total duties from whatever source of surface water. The net consumptive use of surface water for irrigation on the Newlands Project i s 2.99 acre-feet per acre. The net consumptive use of surface water for irrigation of the lands above th e Lahontan Reservoir is 2.5 acre-feet per acre. IX. The Carson River and its tributaries are divided into eight segments : Segment 1 : The East Fork of the Carson River from the California/Nevada state line u p to the headwaters of the East Fork in the mountains. Segment 2 : The East Fork of the Carson River from the California/Nevada state line t o the confluence of the East and West Forks of the Carson River.

5 4 Segment 3 : The West Fork of the Carson River from the gauge at Woodfords, California upstream to the headwaters in the mountains. Segment 4 : The West Fork of the Carson River from the gauge at Woodfords to th e California/Nevada State line. Segment 5 : The West Fork of the Carson River (and Brockliss Slough) between th e California/Nevada state line and the confluence of the East and West Forks of the Carson River. Segment 6 : The main stream of the Carson River from the confluence of the Eas t Fork, West Fork and Brockliss Slough to the gauge at Carson City. Segment 7 : The main stream of the Carson from the Carson City gauge to Lahonta n reservoir. This segment is further subdivided for administration into autonomous subsegments : (a) Mexican Ditch, Dayton and the reach between Rose Ditch and Cardell i Ditch, inclusive ; (b) Gee Ditch ; (c) Koch Ditch ; (d) Houghman and Howard Ditches ; (e) Buckland Ditch. Segment 8 : The area below the Lahontan Dam.

6 5 X. The historic practices, customs, agreements and decrees followed by the water user s and the Federal Water Master on the Carson River and its tributaries : 1. General : (a) The Watermaster shall begin to direct the distribution of water on suc h date that he determines there is not enough water in the Upper Carson River to serve the most junio r priority. (b) When such distribution begins, the water users are notified that the rive r is on regulation and diversions will be monitored. (c) Subject to the exceptions described below, the water is distributed on th e basis of priority and acreage. (d) For purposes of distribution, the river is administered in segments i n accordance with established practices, customs, agreements and decrees. (e) When the river is on regulation each segment of the river is treate d autonomously. (f) The high alpine reservoirs on both forks of the river are filled out o f the priority order. This is done because the snow does not melt sufficiently at those high elevations to fill the reservoirs until the summer when the river flow has already begun to diminis h down in the valley. (g) On all segments of the river, rotation is practiced so as to serve th e junior priorities as long as possible.

7 (h) On both the East Fork and the West Fork, any user, regardless of his priority, who does not need the water does not get it. If the user has a need for it, he gets the water unae r his priority ; if he does not have a need for it, the water goes to the next junior priority. 2. Segment 1 : Since this segment consists largely of riparian lands, there are no relevan t customs and the Water Master exercises little supervision except to regulate the release of wate r from the Alpine Land and Reservoir reservoirs. Water in these reservoirs is represented by corporate stock and is rented, traded and sold to any landowner. 3. Segment 2 : (a) When the flow rate at the Gardnerville gauge reduces to 200 cubic feet pe r second, 1/3 of the river flow is directed into the Allerman Canal and 2/3 of the flow stays in th e river. The point of measurement for the 1/3-2/3 split is at a weir located 100 feet downstream o f the intersection of Highway 395 and the Allerman Canal. Water users on the Heybourne Tract serve d by the Allerman Canal, the upper New Virginia, Company and Cottonwood ditches hire a ditch rider t o assist, under the direction of the Water Master, in the distribution of water. (b) Reservoirs 1, 2 and 4 on the Dangberg lands are filled 3 times yearly. The reservoirs are filled once in February and March pursuant to their storage rights. The reservoirs are filled twice later in the year as a means of regulating the water flow in the Virginia

8 7 and Allerman ditches and ensuring sufficient irrigation head during periods of peak irrigatio n demand. (c) Most diversions in this and the other segments are based upon a two-wee k irrigation interval. The smaller canals such as the Peter Heitman, Berning, Christensen-Hussman, Madison or Topping No. 1 and Topping No. 2 divert for several days on a two-week interval. Other larger canals and sloughs divert on a continuous basis and individual ditches and laterals comin g off these larger canals will be on the two-week rotation. Canals and sloughs that divert continuously are the Allerman Canal, Upper New Virginia, Rocky Slough, Henningsen System, Stodieck, St. Louis Straight, Homestream, Company, Cottonwood and Williams Slough. The continuous diversion made by the St. Louis Straight and island portio n of Homestream will be stopped and transferred to the Allerman Canal when the 1/3-2/3 split take s place. (d) When the East Fork goes on regulation, the Cottonwood Slough is used t o convey water downstream to the Williams Slough diversion rather than using the main channel of th e East Fork. 4. Segment 3 : This segment on the West Fork consists largely of riparian lands and the Wate r Master exercises little supervision except to regulate the release of water from the mountai n reservoirs for downstream use. Traditionally the water stored in the mountain reservoirs has no t been considered appurtenant to any particular place of use.

9 8 5. Segment 4 : (a) The Anderson-Bassman Decree, Exhibit 16, provides that beginning the firs t Monday in June and continuing to the end of the irrigation season the available water supply i s rotated on a weekly basis between Segment 4 and Segment 5. This custom applies to all water user s on these two segments, not just the original parties to the Anderson-Bassman lawsuit or thei r successors in interest. (b) The Price Decree, Exhibit 18, and the 1941 Agreement, Exhibit 19, contro l the rotation among the Segment 4 users during the week that Segment 4 has water under the Anderson - Bassman Decree. (c) During the non-irrigation season, diversions are made by the Snowsho e Thompson No. 2 ditch via Indian Creek to store water in the Mud Lake Reservoir. 6. Segment 5 : (a) As mentioned above, this segment's diversions are made according to th e weekly rotation schedule with Segment 4 after the first Monday in June. (b) During Segment 5 week the water is allocated according to priorities. During Segment 4 week, any Segment 5 junior appropriators who did not get direct flows durin g Segment 5 week are allowed to use the return flows from Segment 4. (c) The Dresslers usually bring their alpine stored waters down during Segment 5 week but Bruns and Gansberg usually bring their Lost Lake water down during Segment 4 week.

10 9 (d) The water stored in Mud Lake Reservoir is sometimes released to down - stream users in exchange for direct diversion that would normally go to those downstream users. (e) Brockliss Slough, starting in the vicinity of Dressler Lane, carries Wes t Fork water drainage down to the confluence of Brockliss Slough and the East and West Forks. During times of short supply in Brockliss Slough, the use of water is rotated among the three oldes t priorities ; a second rotation is observed among the other priorities. (f) Drainage water is occasionally diverted from the old West Fork int o Brockliss Slough and then to lands west of Brockliss Slough. (g) Due to the destruction of the Jones Company West ditch by flood, th e lands formerly irrigated from that ditch are now served with return waters from Bull Slough. Bul l Slough also receives return flows from irrigation using mountain creeks not considered tributarie s of the Carson. (h) Some rights which appear to be served with West Fork water are actuall y served with East Fork water which, after being used to irrigate East Fork lands, drains into th e West Fork channel. These lands are generally those in between Squires Ditch and the Muller-Bartel s dam on the West Fork. (i) Water taken out of the East Fork through Rocky Slough and into Edna Ditc h and other small ditches is used to irrigate lands between the East Fork and the West Fork.

11 Segment 6 : The diversions in this segment occur by pumping from the river. When the main stream is on regulation, the amount of water that gets to each pump is sufficient to satisfy tha t priority. As a result, and because of the high cost of regulation in comparison to benefits, th e Water Master makes no attempt to regulate in this segment unless a controversy arises. 8. Segment 7 : Due to the intermittent nature of the river's surface flow, appearing upstrea m and disappearing downstream from various diversion structures, this segment is regulated in autonomous sub-segments : 9. Segment 8 : There are no relevant practices or customs in this segment and the Water Maste r only regulates when a controversy arises. XI. The California riparian landowners are entitled to the riparian water rights permitted under California law. XII. For proper administration of the respective rights of the parties in this action, it is necessary and proper that general administrative provisions be incorporated in this Decre e and that a Water Master be appointed to carry out the provisions of the Decree. XIII. The parties, persons, corporations, intervenors, grantees and substituted partie s named in the following tabulation, and their successors-in-interest and assigns, constitute and are

12 1 1 the only appropriators, riparian owners and users of the waters of the Carson River and it s tributaries. The sole class of exceptions to the foregoing statement is the landowners on th e Newlands Project who took land patents from the United States. Each such landowner is the owne r of an appurtenant water right for the patented land as discussed in the opinion filed in this case. The Court has not been provided with a tabulation of these owners and their irrigated acreages. As to the future tabulation of these details, see Administrative Provision VI. All of the above - mentioned parties and their successors and assigns are the owners of water rights to the waters o f the Carson River and its tributaries for the legally described acreages or places of use and wit h the listed priority dates, all contained in the following tabulation. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW I. The parties hereto are entitled to a Decree in this action adjudging and declarin g that they are the owners and entitled to use the rights set forth in the following tabulation. II. In accordance with the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, IT HEREBY I S ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED as follows : That the parties, intervenors, grantees, successors in interest and assigns are, and each of them hereby is, as against every party to this action, adjudged to be the owners of th e water rights hereafter and set forth and entitled to divert, store and use from the Carson

13 1 2 River and its tributaries and from the streams and springs hereafter mentioned, and by and throug h their respective ditches, canals, flumes, dams and reservoirs for the irrigation of their respectiv e lands as described in the tabulation, for generating power, for municipal purposes, for supplyin g the people living in cities and towns, for reclamation of arid lands, for watering livestock, fo r domestic uses and other beneficial purposes,' water in the amounts discussed in the previous section s on water duty, subject and according to the respective priority dates and riparian ownership state d below and the historic customs, practices, agreements and decrees discussed above. All points of diversion and places of use are described with reference to the Moun t Diablo Base and Meridian. Where an entity owns multiple water rights, that entity is listed at th e beginning of a series of water rights from a particular diversion ditch and is. not repeated for eac h place of use. Similarly, if a series of places of use under the same owner all have the same priority date, that date i s, listed once on the first line of the series and is not repeated for each plac e of use. The only exception to this system is the tabulation of the water rights in Segment 4, wher e the Special Master listed the places of use for each owner and then gave total acreages for th e relevant priority dates. The listing of owners is correct only insofar as the current information has been supplied to the Court. Any grantees, assignees or successors in interest should contac t the Water Master with proof of chain of title. Acreages and priorities are established in conformity with the evidence taken be - fore the Special Master. Any changes of place or manner of use or point of diversion which have

14 13 been since approved in the manner provided by the Temporary Restraining Order and Special Maste r ' s Report shall be recognized and recorded by the Water Master.
