 Elizabeth Hoefle Mr Courchane: We reside in a tax lot immediately adjacent to Cadwell-Kimball property. Address 19225 Klippel Road, Bend OR 97703 The T 13583 application proposal will affect us and we are not in accordance with this. We own TID irrigation rights on our property yet we were included in calculating KD water rights. This must stop. We have had to endure literally years of attempted abuse of rights and false claims from KD properties and their continued attempts to steal water rights as well as property. They have skirted County rules and regulations in developing property adjacent to ours to the detriment of the environment, wildlife and our life style. This seems like no more than more of the same from KD and we are AGAINST it. Our water rights cannot be utilized in the proposal calculations- they are not accurate and do not fall under KD prevue.
 todd van der zwiep Subject line: Our opposition to T-13583 transfer application To: Mr. Courchane This is to express our objection to the transfer application T-13583. We see that it would assign to our property (our family home) a right to use, and to be provided, domestic water services by people and an entity we do not know. There is no need for this whatsoever. T-13583 would create a redundancy with the rights and services that we, and many of our neighbors, already have. It would cause injury to us and them. Also, it would be wasteful. It would enlarge the use of water appropriated from our local aquifer, the adequacy of which has not even been addressed by the applicant or by your department, as far as we know. We have historically had sufficient domestic water for our property with Klippel Water’s certificated water rights, as do our neighbors. It is supplied to us reliably. We’ve been very active in the management of this community water system of ours. We don’t need or want another entity to be granted by the state’s water resources department a right to supply water to our property. It might result in an effort to compel us and others to receive services that we don’t want since our needs are being met well already. The substantial volume of water that is proposed in the transfer application to be pumped from our area’s aquifer might cause our Klippel Water and many of our neighbors’ private wells to fail. In our community, as in most, we can’t afford the high cost to drill new wells or deepen existing wells. And we should not have to. The applicant is seeking to exploit our limited and already intensively used aquifer and seems to be asking for much more water than it or the local developers need or could reasonably justify. Klippel water has several times already had to incur substantial cost to replace wells as a result of the existing demand on the resource. Don’t let others come into this area with an eye toward commandeering the water that we, as longtime residents, are entitled to. Please deny the application. Sincerely, Todd Van der Zwiep and Erika Lindquist 63360 Fawn Lane Bend, OR 97703-8574
 Mark McDowell I own and reside at property that has been included, without my prior knowledge or consent, in the scope of the subject application. I have never been contacted by the applicant, its agents or by possible transferees of the water rights involved in this application. It would be injurious to me and my property to be included within the service area (or the “to” property) proposed by the applicant. My property is very well served for domestic water needs by our neighborhood- operated and managed community water system, Klippel Water Inc. Our water comes from its permitted wells which it operates. The wells are near my property. My property also has appurtenant irrigation water rights from Tumalo Irrigation District. I am a water patron of TID. In fact, it has its main distribution pipeline (the Tumalo Feed Canal) on the easterly and northerly portion of my property. Almost all the water that TID delivers to its hundreds of customers passes through my property, and I have a point of diversion from the pipeline on my property to fulfill my water rights. I definitely do not want developers of property east of my property, or the owner of the water rights involved in the T-13583 application to acquire any rights with respect to my property. I don’t want them to be providing domestic water to my property and I don’t need an additional source of water from them for irrigation or any other purposes either. My other great concern is that the application proposes the source the water for use in my area to be from a well on property of Tanager Development LLC that is close to several domestic wells that some of my neighbors rely upon. Also, the wells of Klippel Water Inc that I rely upon are nearby, too. Increasing the intensity of use of the Tanager well--to the extent of .23 cfs (a substantial amount of water)--puts me and my neighbors at great risk of the aquifer being depleted and water not being available for us. I dispute that the T-13583 needs as much water as is sought thru the transfer application. Absent scientific and reliable information from the OWRD and the applicant (which I believe does not exist at this time) the amount of water available from the aquifer cannot reasonably be considered sufficient for all current users and additionally for use by the applicant. The application should be denied since it would cause injury to me and my property.
