Document Description
The Mountain High Ski area has historically used water from Swarthout Creek to produce snow during the winter ski season and for fire protection purposes all the other times of the year. The diversion works consist of wells adjacent to the stream course that have been shown to draw water from the subterranean portion of Swarthout Creek. The water can be pumped to two reservoirs (92.9 and 41.5 sf capacity) at the summit of the ski area, or can be directly diverted to the snow making equipment without going through the reservoirs. However, the overall efficiency of the system is improved by using the reservoirs to pressurize the snow waking mechanisms. The applicant seeks an appropriative water right so that the reservoirs will not have to be filled and drained every thirty days (regulatory storage for riparian diversions, as defined by the Division of Water Rights), to maximize system efficiency, and to provide for water storage for fire protection purposes. All diversion and distribution facilities are in place; no construction will take place as a result of the project.
