Both influent and effluent volumes provided by1999 memo from KCDPW operator Bruce Lewis to Prein and Newhof. Lewis indicates pressure from
1997* 12 17.2 farmer to limit irrigation. Memo was accepted by MDEQ for permit renewals in 2000 and 2005.

Influent volume calculated from the 2004 Prein & Newhof Capacity Study provided to Leslie Sorensen Spring 2008 - and corroborrated by
2001* 10.3 18.36 Earthtech's drawdown data.

Influent Volume estimated from previous and subsequent years, and from 2004 Prein and Newhof Capacity Study provided to Leslie Sorensen
Spring 2008 - and corroborated by Earthtech's drawdown data. SPECIAL NOTE: No irrigation performed in 1st 2 Quarters - per 2nd qtr CMR. All
15.5 mg for 2004 were irrigated in the months of July August, September, and October - in violation of permit. "Annual Cumulative Influent Flow"
was apparently removed from the CMR form by MDEQ between the 3rd and 4th qrtrs '04. MDEQ recommendation of 2.35"/wk limit ignored: 2"00/wk
2004* 15.5 18.5 proposed by P&N and aproved in permit/IMP by MDEQ.

OTHER NOTES:
"Annual Cumulative Influent Flow" was apparently removed from the CMR form by MDEQ between the 3rd and 4th qrtrs '04.
Farmer's consistent pressure to limit irrigation documented 97'-00, 04', 05' , '07. and 2005 IMP
Wherever two data sources conflicted, the most conservative data sources was used.
According to Township Engineer Jim Hegarty and MDEQ Project Manager Leslie Sorensen, "Precipitation = Evaporation" for purposes of calculating annual water balance.
BOLD indicates data officially reported to MDEQ. RED indicates data for which MDEQ files do not contain any CMR's or other official documentation of flows.
Beginning with the 2005 Permit year, the "Influent" data category was removed from the CMR Forms by MDEQ

* ILLEGAL - Irrigation rates in violation of Permit Daily Limit (page 10 IMP, CMRs for 2004), but also limited at times by farmer
** LEGAL - Irrigation Rates within Permit Weekly and Daily Limits, but limited due to equipment failure/rehabilitation & farmer
*** LEGAL - Irrigation Rates within Permit Weekly and Daily Limits, but still limited by farmer
**** LEGAL - Irrigation Rates within Permit Weekly and Daily Limits, not limited by farmer due to changes in lease agreement
