Water Division 1, Water District 1 Dear Mr. Gathman: Bill Ritter, Jr. Governor Harris D. Sherman Executive Director Dick Wolfe, P.E. State Engineer We have reviewed the above referenced proposal for a Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for the amendment of an existing natural gas transmission and compression facility for a new office building and future compressor building on a parcel of approximately 117 acres. The submitted material does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section 30-28-101(10)(a) C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 memorandum to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral information and provide comments. The comments will not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this property or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. There are two existing permitted wells located within the subject parcel, permit nos. 96966 and 60734-F. Permit no. 96966 allows this well to withdraw ground water at a rate of 15 gallons per minute (gpm) for drinking and sanitary purposes inside a commercial business, fire protection, and domestic purposes for not more than three single-family dwellings. Permit no. 60734-F allows this well to withdraw up to 50.5 acre-feet per year at a rate of 32 gpm for industrial purposes. The Findings for permit no. 60734-F also indicate that the maximum annual amount of ground water that may be withdrawn by the well with permit no. 96966 is 2.5 acre- feet. Based on the current permitted uses, the well with permit no. 96966 may be used as a water supply for drinking and sanitary purposes inside the new buildings, while the well with permit no. 60734-F is restricted to industrial use. So long as the existing wells continue to be used in accordance with their permitted conditions and for their permitted uses, this office has no objections to the subject request. If you or the applicant has any questions in this matter, please contact Sarah Reinsel of this office. Chris Gathman Page 2 August 19, 2009 Sincerely, Jeff Deatherage, P.E.
