Part of the NE1/4 of Section 26, T3N, R65W, sit, P.M.
Water Division 1, Water District 2
Dear Mr Ogle
This referral does not appear to qualify as a subdivision as defined in Sect on 30-28-
101(1O)(a) C R.S Therefore pursuant to the State Engineers March 4 2005 and March 11
2011 memorandums to county planning directors this office will only perform a cursory review of
the referral information and provide informal comments. The comments do not address the
adequacy of the water supply plan for this project or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy
any County regulations or requirements In addition the comments provided herein cannot be
used to guarantee a viable water supply plan or infrastructure the issuance of a well permit or
physical availability of water
The proposal is to use this 11 acre parcel for oil and gas support sery ces The
proposed water source is an existing domestic well with permit no. 284299. This permit was
issued on October 14 2010 for the following uses: ordinary household purposes inside one 1
single family dwelling the watering of no more than four (4) large non-commercial domest
animals and the irrigation of not more than 13 000 square feet of home gardens and awns
Production from this well s from the nontributary Laramie-Fox H s Aquifer.
This office requires that the well be re-permitted for the uses listed in the application
including commercial, in-house domestic animals and lawn & garden irrigation These uses
would require a non-exempt well permit. This type of permit can be issued for the nontributary
Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer without an augmentation plan However a total flow meter would
be required Well permits are evaluated at the time they are rece d this office
We have no objection to the proposal as long as the applicant obtains a well permit
consistent with the proposed uses. Should you have any questions please Tracy Kosloff
this office
