State Engineer 4209 CR 24.5 Longmont, CO 80504 Re: USR-1634 - Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for a Use By Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use by Special Review in the Industrial Zone District (Truck Parking, Maintenance And Office) Dear Ms. Hatch: This referral 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 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 the physical availability of water. According to the referral information the site will be served by an existing well constructed under well permit no. 265349. The well is permitted for ordinary household purposes inside one single family dwelling, the watering of domestic animals, and the irrigation of not more than 1 acre of home gardens and lawns. The well was constructed on October 25, 2005 into the nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer. The referral information does not clearly specify all of the proposed uses for the well, however, it appears that water from the well will be used to serve the home and shop, which will be utilized by a maximum of 5 employees and the owner's family. In addition, water from the well will be used for landscape irrigation around the home and the watering of large domestic animals (4 horses and 10 cows). Since the employees will utilize the drinking and sanitary facilities at the site, and water from the well may also be used as part of the commercial operation, such uses are considered commercial and are not allowed under the existing well permit. Therefore, the subject well cannot be used, as currently permitted, to serve the site. If the well will be used for the purposes described, a new well permit must be obtained for commercial, domestic, irrigation and livestock watering uses pursuant to C.R.S. 37-90-137(4). Should you have any questions in this matter, please contact Joanna Williams of this office. Sincerely, • Kevin G. Rein, P.E. Chief of Water Supply KGR/JMW Hello
