Document Description
The Redway Community Services District (RCSD, District), as Applicant, is applying to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) – Division of Water Rights to amend existing water rights, including the following three components: An expansion in the Purpose and Place of Use (POU) for an existing diversion located in the South Fork of the Eel River (SF Eel River) to include all properties located within the District’s jurisdictional boundary under the respective appropriative license (Application No: A11876; Permit No.: 07489; License No.: 3791) and an appropriative permit (Application No.: 23017; Permit No.: 15665) for the existing diversion. The Meadows Business Park has been served by the RCSD since 1998. RCSD has also applied for a Petition for an Extension of Time associated with the SF Eel River appropriative permit (Application No.: 23017; Permit No. 15665) to include the recorded diversion from calendar year 2011 as the maximum beneficial use for the permit to ensure sufficient diversion amounts would be allowed and available to serve RCSD service connections once the future appropriative license is obtained. RCSD holds a third water right, which allows for diversion from an unnamed spring (Application No.: 23018; Permit No.: 15666), a tributary to the SF Eel River. RCSD is requesting the permit for the unnamed spring to be licensed by the SWRCB to retain the allocated diversion amount, although RCSD has not diverted water from the unnamed spring since 2008. As part of the Project, the RCSD is seeking to permanently dedicate their allocated diversion amount for instream use for fish and wildlife preservation, ecological enhancement, and recreational purposes.
