FINDINGS OF THE STATE ENGINEER
•
IN THE MATTER OF AN APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT A WELL IN WATER
DIVISION NO. 1, WELD COUNTY, COLORADO
APPLICANT : ROBERT D OMAN
AQUIFER: LARAMIE-FOX HILLS
PERMIT NO.: °cc/4 73 OCT ' 791
AciOURCES
In compliance with C.R.S. 37-90-137(1) and the Statewide Nontributary Ground Water
Rules, Robert D Oman, (hereinafter "applicant') submitted an application for a permit to
construct a well. Based on information provided by the applicant and records of the Division of
Water Resources, the State Engineer finds as follows:
1. The application was received complete by the State Engineer on September 25, 2000.
2. The applicant proposes to construct the well in the SE1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 1,
Township 1 North, Range 66 West, 6th Principal Meridian.
'� 3. The proposed well is located outside the boundaries of a designated ground water basin.
4. The applicant proposes to apply the water withdrawn from the well to the following beneficial
uses: Commercial.
5. The proposed maximum pumping rate of the well is 15 gallons per minute, and the
requested average annual amount of ground water to be withdrawn is 9.86 acre-feet.
6. The applicant is the owner of the land on which the well will be constructed.
7. The proposed well would withdraw ground water from the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer
(hereinafter "aquifer"), which, according to the Denver Basin Rules, is located 765 feet to
1,060 feet below land surface at the location of the proposed well. .
8. The location of the proposed well is more than 600 feet from any existing well completed
in the aquifer.
9. According to a sworn statement, the applicant owns, or has consent to withdraw ground
water underlying 38.4 acres of land as further described in said statement, which is attached
hereto as Exhibit A.
10. Withdrawal of ground water from the aquifer underlying the land claimed by the applicant will
not, within one hundred years, deplete the flow of a natural stream at an annual rate greater
than one-tenth of one percent of the annual rate of withdrawal and therefore the ground
water is nontributary ground water as defined in C.R.S. 37-90-103(10.5).

Applicant: • Robert D Oman Page 2
Aquifer: Laramie-Fox Hills
Permit no.:
11. In considering whether the requested permit shall be approved. the provisions of C.R.S.
37-90-137(4) and the Denver Basin Rules shall apply. Withdrawals shall be allowed on the
basis of an aquifer's life of 100 years, C.R.S. 37-90-137(4)(b)(I).
12. The quantity of water in the aquifer, exclusive of artificial recharge, underlying the 38.4 acres
of land described in Exhibit A is 939 acre-feet. This determination was based on the
following as specified in the Denver Basin Rules:
a. The average specific yield of the saturated aquifer materials underlying the land under
consideration is 15 percent.
b. The average thickness of the saturated aquifer materials underlying the land under
consideration is 163 feet.
13. A review of the records in the State Engineer's office has not disclosed that there are any
existing wells or other water rights claiming or diverting ground water from the aquifer
underlying the land claimed by the applicant.
Based on the above, the State Engineer finds that there is water available for withdrawal by
the proposed well and no material injury to vested water rights would result from the issuance of
the requested permit subject to the following conditions:
a. The allowed average annual amount of water to be withdrawn from the aquifer by the
well shall not exceed 9.4 acre-feet (the quantity of water which is considered available
divided by the 100 year aquifer life).
b. The well shall be constructed no more than 200 feet from the location specified on the
permit application.
c. The applicant shall submit geophysical and lithologic logs after the construction of the
well. The geophysical logs shall be obtained from the hole before the casings are installed.
d. The maximum pumping rate of the well shall not exceed 15 gallons per minute.
e. A totalizing flow meter must be installed on the well and maintained in good working
order. Permanent records of all diversions must be maintained by the well owner (recorded
at least annually) and submitted to the Division Engineer upon request.
f. Production is limited to the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer. The well must be constructed
with plain, non-perforated casing properly grouted so as to prevent intermingling of water
between aquifers.
g. Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-90-137(9)(b) and the Denver Basin Rules, no more than 98% of
the nontributary ground water withdrawn annually shall be consumed and the applicant
shall demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the State Engineer that no more than
98% of the water withdrawn will be consumed.

PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT A WELL
ISSUANCE OF THIS PERMIT DOES NOT CONFER A WATER RIGHT
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1) This well shall be used in such a way as to cause no material injury to existing water rights. The issuance of this permit
does not assure the applicant that no injury will occur to another vested water right or preclude another owner of a vested
water right from seeking relief in a civil court action.
2) The construction of this well shall be in compliance with the Water Well Construction Rules 2 CCR 402-2, unless approval
•
of a variance has been granted by the State Board of Examiners of Water Well Construction and Pump Installation
Contractors in accordance with Rule 18. �y�j
^l Approved pursuant to CRS 37-90-137(4)and the findings of the State Engineer dated (Wit( 1/, 2 l '
4) The maximum pumping rate of this well shall not exceed 15 GPM.
5) The average annual amount of ground water to be appropriated shall not exceed 9.4 acre-feet.
6) Production is limited to the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer which is located 765 feet below land surface and extends to depth of
1060 feet. Plain casing must be installed and grouted to prevent the withdrawal of ground water from other aquifers and
the movement of ground water between aquifers. It is recommended that the base of the Laramie formation is grouted to
. prevent poor quality water from coal seams entering well.
7) The entire length of the hole shall be geophysically logged as required by the Statewide Nontributary Ground Water Rules
prior to installing casing.
8) The owner shall mark the well in a conspicuous place with well permit number(s), name of the aquifer, and court case
number(s)as appropriate. The owner shall take necessary means and precautions to preserve these markings.
9) A totalizing flow meter must be installed on this well and maintained in good working order. Permanent records of all
diversions must be maintained by the well owner(recorded at least annually)and submitted to the Division Engineer upon
request.
10) This well shall be constructed at least 600 feet from any existing well completed in the same aquifer that is not owned by
the applicant.
11) This well shall be constructed not more than 200 feet from the location specified on this permit.
12) Pursuant to CRS 37-90-137(9)(b)and the Denver Basin Rules, no more than 98%of the nontributary ground water
withdrawn annually shall be consumed and the well owner shall demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the State
Engineer that no more than 98%of the water withdrawn will be consumed.
13) This well is subject to administration by the Division Engineer in accordance with applicable decrees,statutes, rules,and
regulations.
NOTE:The ability of this well to withdraw its authorized amount of water from this non-renewable aquifer may be less than
the 100 years upon which the amount of water in the aquifer is allocated,due to anticipated water level declines.

I have reviewed well permit no. 54673-F, issued to Robert D. Oman on October
10, 2000. The well permit was issued for the withdrawal of 9.4 acre-feet
annually.
Since the well permit was issued pursuant to C.R.S. 37-90-137(4) for
withdrawal of water from a nontributary aquifer in the Denver Basin,
condition 12 states that no more than 98% of the water withdrawn may be
consumed. If the well owner complies with this condition, and all others on
the permit,then there is not a limit on the type of use for the well.
Residential or domestic use is a valid use for this well as is commercial
use.
Please call me if you have questions.
