FINDINGS OF THE STATE ENGINEER
IN THE MATTER OF AN APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT TO USE AN EXISTING WELL IN
WATER DIVISION NO. 1,WELD COUNTY, COLORADO
APPLICANT : MARTIN & BERTA GUTIERREZ
AQUIFER: LARAMIE FOX HILLS
PERMITNO.: t07/(7—F
In compliance with C.R.S. 37-90-137(1) and the Statewide Nontributary Ground Water
Rules, Martin & Berta Gutierrez, (hereinafter"applicant") submitted an application for a permit to
use an existing 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 January 14, 2004.
2. The applicant proposes to use the existing well in the SE % of the NE '/ of Section 28,
Township 2 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 The applicant proposes to apply the water withdrawn from the well to the following beneficial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: Domestic, Livestock, and 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requested average annual amount of ground water to be withdrawn is 5 acre-feet.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 530 feet to
815 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 60 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).

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 aqufer's life of 100 years, C.R.S. 37-90-137(4)(b)(l).
12. The quantity of water in the aquifer, exclusive of artificial recharge, underlying the 60 acres
of land described in Exhibit A is 1395 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 155 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 5 acre-feet (the quantity of water which has been requested by the
applicant).
b. The well shall be constructed no more than 200 feet from the location specified on the
permit application.
c. The maximum pumping rate of the well shall not exceed 15 gallons per minute.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. 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.
g. The owner shall mark the well in a conspicuous place with appropriate well permit
numbers, name of the aquifer, and court case numbers. He shall take necessary means
and precautions to preserve these markings.
