There will also be consumptive use under the project of incidental irrigation of alfalfa and orchard crops. The maximum acreage to be irrigated will be 18,000 acres within the District's total irrigation service area of 47,057 acres. The point of diversion is the Wilkins Slough Pumping Plant, which is a screened facility located at California Coordinates, NAD 83, Zone 2, North 2, 130,572 ft and East 6,610,675 ft, being within the SW 1/4 of SE 1/4 of Section 35, T14N, R1E, MDB&M.
