Hinton A letter from Boyle Engineering dated November 19, 1958, giving Agua He Damsite dionda flow data was presented indicating a mean flow of approximately gpm or l.20 acre feet per year. Data covered the period from July 17, 3 to August 7, 1958. A km was presented re conference held December 8th between repr sentatives of CMdD (Rogers, Kelly, Short, Swirsky) and -the Tootsie K Ranch (&dson, Vo and Attorney Leroy Wright) concerning plans for a dam at the Hinton site having a heig of approximately 95 feet with spillway elevation at 360' and providing fop a flooded area of approximately 260 acres with a capacity of 7,000 acre feet. The resultant pro posed agreement which follows was reviewed by the Board: I (1) Carlsbad would undertake to deliver to Tootsie X, through Carlsbad's pipe lin which would be constructed on an easement granted by Tootsie K, and at a point agree able to both parties, up to a dm of 120 acre feet per year. Deliveries would not be made until the dam was constructed. (2) The right of Tootsie K would be non-cumulative, and the rate of delivery cod be restricted by Carlsbad during times when other consumers were restricted, but no such restriction would reduce the mount which Tootsie K could take blow a volume o one-sixth of their annual right which might exist in any future year. (3) Tootsie K would grant to Carlsbad, without cost, an easement for Carlsbad's projected pipe line, the route of such easement and the respective rights of joint user to be worked out on terms agreeable to the parties. (4) If Carlsbad were required to release water from the reservoir after its con- struction, in recognition of the rights of any downstream user other than Tootsie X, Carlsbad could, at their option, increase the amount of such releases to those deter mined under the first alternative. The results of this option, and the cansequences which might follow from its exercise, were not f'ully explored at this coni'erence, 'f representatives of Tootsie I( felt that they should have tbe right to continue to tal delivemJ of their supply out of the pipe line, even though water were released fmn the reservoir for others, provided that Tootsie K did not take any steps to utilize any portion of the vater released into the stream channel. It apparently was the fe ing of Carlsbadfs representatives that they should be able to interrupt Tootsie Kfs rights to the use of the pipe line if the water were released from the reservoir in such quantities as would recognize Tootsie Kfs rights, as wall as those of other dou stream claimants, I (5) The owners of Tootsie X would undertake not to use any portion of the guaran- teed or recognized water right delievered to their property through the Carlsbad lin for the purpose of supplying miltiple, residential domestic uses. When portions of the ranch are subdivided in the future, and multiple residences constructed thereon, for sale and occupancy by others, that portion of the recognized water right as guar- anteed by Carlsbad, which is attributable to the lands so subdivided, would lapse. This partial termination would occur when provision for service to subdivided lands would be made $hrough the facilities of any water-distribution agency which might then be organized to serve the genera2 area. I Engineer Short po5nted out that the agreement would have no standing until such time a5 the dam might be constructed and added that the terms are to the advantage of the Distr After discussion regarding recreational possibilities at the damsite, future storage by the District, etc., on motion of Director Ewald, seconded by Director Carnohan, the san aodttee was authorized to continue negotiations on the basis of the proposal as outli cannon Manager Rogers pointed out that a legal description is needed for the ac Easement quisition of the Cannon easement, Engiaeer Short stated that a twenty foot easement is preferred, Extension of Manager Rogers announced that the District funds would pedt the expend Lateral "Kt1 ture of $4,000 more to extend Lateral "K".
