Reecer Creek Golf Course
(Lower Kittitas Basin)
DRAFT Mitigation Suitability Map
Ecology has preliminarily determined that the SC Aggregate right will not be suitable as mitigation for new ground water uses in the following stream basins:
Manastash Creek
Taneum Creek
Wilson and Naneum Creeks
Coleman Creek
Parke Creek
Caribou Creek
This site is designed to help ground water users identify mitigation water for their projects in the Lower Kittitas Basin. Mitigation can generally be achieved by acquiring an existing water right to offset a new use in the same water source.
SC Aggregate Company, Inc. has conveyed the water right from the former Reecer Creek Golf Course to Ecology's Trust Water Right Program to make it available for mitigation purposes in certain areas of the Kittitas Valley. It is now available to mitigate for impacts to Yakima Basin Total Water Supply Available in the Kittitas Valley from the Thorpe area downstream to the entrance to the Yakima River Canyon below Ellensburg. This trust water right will vary in its effectiveness to serve as mitigation for new ground water users, depending primarily on where the proposed new use of ground water will be located.

Consumptive Use Calculator (Microsoft Excel format) The calculator allows you to estimate the total water use and the consumptive water use based on number of connections and square feet of irrigation, consistent with WAC 173-539A. Example of Calculator |
