How to Estimate Rule 14 Plan Pumping
Pumping for a well in LAWMA’s Rule 14 plan requires the well owner to know the following five components:
b. JMR to Buffalo UF = 0.78
c. Buffalo to Stateline UF = 0.66
The following equation is used to determine the annual pumping volume per well:
Common Share x Alloc % = Pumping
PDF x UF
Example: A well located between JMR and the Buffalo that is sole source flood irrigation and is assigned 100 LAWMA Common Shares by the owner. The LAWMA Board has set the allocation to a common share at 60%.
100 Common Shares x 60% = 153.8 acft
0.50 x 0.78
If a well has only Preferred shares, then the formula uses 100% for the allocation percentage.
If a well has Common and Preferred shares, then the formula is used to determine the allocation for the Common and Preferred shares independently with both totals added together for a final annual allocation.
Pumping for a well in LAWMA’s Rule 14 plan requires the well owner to know the following five components:
- Number of LAWMA Common Shares
- LAWMA Common Share Allocation Percentage (Alloc %)
- Number of LAWMA Preferred Shares (assumed at 100% Allocation)
- Presumptive Depletion Factor for the well (PDF)
- Location of the Well for a Usability Factor (UF)
