Project Info

Title

Welch Reservoir

Description

The applicant proposes to construct a 42.6 acre foot off-stream reservoir to use for irrigating vineyards. Approximately 2.9 acres of land will be cleared and approximately 46,300 cubic yards of material will be excavated to create the reservoir. All excavated material will remain onsite to create an embankment and to spread on adjacent vineyard. The embankment will be 12 feet in height. Water from an existing well will be pumped into the reservoir. The project site has already been cleared as part of the previously approved vineyard development, and is outside the protected areas for blue elderberry shrubs and konocti manzanita as indicated in the biological assessment and botanical survey prepared by Northwest Biosurvey dated June 15, 2001 for the vineyard development. The project is located outside the documented archaeological site on the property.
