6. <strong>The</strong> run<strong>of</strong>f associated with snowmaking diversions will<br />
increase irrigation season flows. <strong>The</strong> available early<br />
irrigation season flow for Onesimo Archuleta will<br />
increase by 4 to 49 acre-feet/month in a water low year.<br />
7. <strong>The</strong> closest wells in <strong>the</strong> valley, RG-36174 and RG-23532,<br />
near <strong>the</strong> mouth <strong>of</strong> Cordova Cre k<br />
maximum <strong>of</strong> 12.1 and 8.3 feet<br />
canyon will experience a<br />
respectively <strong>of</strong> drawdown<br />
after 40 years <strong>of</strong> diversions.<br />
8. <strong>Impacts</strong> on <strong>the</strong> Rio Grande from <strong>the</strong> diversions will be a<br />
maximum <strong>of</strong> 16.7 acre-feet/year after 40 years. This<br />
assumes no recharge or returns from costilla Reservoir<br />
storage releases and Cordova creek run<strong>of</strong>f. Spring run<strong>of</strong>f<br />
and reservoir release recharge have not been quantified<br />
but <strong>the</strong>se returns combined with seasonal fluctuations<br />
should diminish <strong>the</strong> above estimate <strong>of</strong> annual impacts to<br />
<strong>the</strong> Rio Grande.<br />
