Re: Water Availability for Processing Facility
South Half of the Northwest Quarter and the North Half of the Southwest
Quarter, Section 25,Township 1 North, Range 68 West, 6th P.M.
Dear Mr. Janes:
At your request, we have investigated the water available to serve a proposed processing facility
located in Weld County as referenced above. This site is not located in a Designated Ground
Water Basin. The projected water requirement for processing is 10,000 gallons per day
A permit for an exempt commercial well on this property has been issued by the state. The uses
allowed under this permit are drinking and the operation of sanitary facilities. This well can be
used to provide water for employees and visitors to the site. However, the water from this well
would not be available for processing use. There are four options to serve the processing facility.
These options and our findings for each one are discussed below:
• Service from a quasi-municipal supplier The site is located in the Central Weld County
Water District's service area. However, the district requires that water mains be installed
prior to its service. This requirement is too expensive for the proposed use. The district
could not estimate when water service may be available at this site.
• Water from a non-tributary aquifer: There may be nontributary water available from the
Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer at the site. The state denotes this area as complex on its
mapping of the Denver Basin aquifers. This complex area is bounded by a fault, and data
about formations under the site are lacking. The availability of water from the Laramie-
Fox Hills aquifer under this site is highly speculative. Test drilling to depths greater than
1,000 feet would be necessary, and there would be no assurance that water could be
located. This is not a feasible source of water at this time.

• Surface or tributary water: Our records indicate that this site was once served by shares of
the Standley Lake Division of the Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company These
shares were sold to the City of Thornton some time ago. Any tributary source would
require augmentation water and either a substitute supply plan approved by the State
Engineer's Office(SEO)or a decree Cana the water court.
The SEO has recently adopted a new policy regarding its approval of substitute supply
plans. This policy does not allow approval of a plan for this new water use. A water
court decree is possible but would involve a lengthy process_ Although it is not possible
to predict how long this procedure may take, it is likely that the time required would
exceed two years.
• Transporting water to the site Water available to the company at other sites it controls
could be trucked to the site. Approximately two trucks per day could provide the water
required for processing. This appears to be the only feasible method of service at this
time.
In summary,we conclude that the only feasible method of providing water to this proposed
processing site in a timely fashion is by trucking water to the site. We understand that Varra and
Sand Land Companies, Inc. are prepared to implement this solution.
Ple let Inc know if you have any questions or comments regarding our investigation,
