Attach a map showing the location of the project.
On June 23, 1992, a complaint was filed by the State of Colorado against Jose G. and
Marie D. Cabrera. It ordered them to improve the drinking water of the residents of
Sierra Vista Mobile Home Park. In an effort to comply with Colorado Rev. Stat.
§25-1-107 (1) (x) concerning the quality of drinking water supplied to the public,
the Cabreras would like to drill a deeper well to secure uncontaminated water for
consumption by the residents of Sierra Vista. Judith L. Hamilton, a Denver-based
ground-water hydrologist, has encouraged the Cabreras to drill a deeper well after
the failure of other avenues to treat existing water supplies.

C. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION
1. List the major energy/mineral development projects affecting the applicant. Cite work force numbers and
projections.
Weld County has nearly 7,000 producing oil and gas wells and last year was the third most
productive oil and gas county in the Rocky Mountain Region. Over $250 million dollars of
oil and gas was produced last year in Weld County. DOL indicates over 1,350 energy related
employees in Weld County. Oil and gas production is spread throughout Weld County.
2. Cite the number of energy/mineral production employees residing within the jurisdiction.
1,350 energy related employees of producing companies. As many as 6,750 jobs are estimated
to be supported by energy resources in Weld County.
What was the 1980 Census population of the applicant jurisdiction:131,821. List the current estimated papule?!on
for the applicant jurisdiction:135,373 . (Current most recent lottery distribution estimate is acceptable.) What
Is the population projection for the applicant in 5 years? 142,000 , What was the source of the estimate?
State demographer/Census Bureau
3. Cite how the proposed project will mitigate any adverse impacts related to energy and mineral development.
The proposed project will provide acceptable (according to the standards of Colo. Rev.
Stat. §25-1-107 (1) (x) drinking water for the residents of Sierra Vista Mobile Home Park.
4. list proposed energy/mineral projects which have the potential to affect the community.
Continued oil and gas exploration in the Denver-Julesburg Basin indicates as many as 750
Codell wells could be drilled in the next 12 months in Weld County.
5. List recent energy/mineral project closures or reduction in production/employment which affect the applicant
jurisdiction.
None.

D. OTHER PROJECT INt•ORMATION •
1. Why is the project needed? What are the specific goals of the project?
The well is needed to provide EPA-acceptable drinking water to the residents
of Sierra Vista Mobile Hone Park. The goal of the project is to end the
health threat to this community of approximately 200 people.
2. How were the cost estimates arrived at? Have preliminary architectural/engineering studies been completed? What
additional design work must still be completed? Use the 'Physical Improvements Cost Estimate Worksheet'
attached at the end of this section, for projects involving structures other than single-family housing.)
Four contractors bid for the project. The lowest bids are put forward on
the Cost Estimate Worksla.x.t. Judith Hamilton was employed as an engineering
consultant for the project. She submitted a report outlining the best source
for the water.
3. Describe any in-kind contributions by type and value in support of this project.
There are none.
Was the cash value of the In-kind contributions calculated into the Project Budget (B.1.)? Yes_ No
4. Why cannot the project be funded locally? What other funding alternatives have been explored?Did the applicant
jurisdiction take the full property tax revenue increase in the current budget year? Yes _ No _ N/A
Weld County does not do funding of this type.
For funding alternatives which have already boon exploLed, please refer to
the attached letter to Hank Brown.
5. In the space provided, describe local commitment to the project, including local fees or regulations altered to ensure
project success, local taxing efforts to address continuing development and maintenance needs, and local citizen
support.
Having investigated the appropriate channels in the surrounding towns,
it would seem that the sole commitment to potahle water for the residents of
Sierra Vista Mobile Home Park lies with me, Jose G. Cabrera, and the residents
of Sierra Vista. The cuununity is low incase and cannot afford an increace
on their already strained expenses to construct this well. Once built, the
operating costs could be diffused among the recipients of the water.

6. If the project Is funded, what on-going operational obligations will be Incurred? What Is the applicant's plan for
addressing these additional costs? When do you expect the project to start? When will it be completed?
As explained above, the operational obligations could be assumed by the recipients
of the water. The project would be started as soon as it was funded and would be
completed within one year.
7. If the proposed project requires operating revenue (e.g. revenue to support operation/maintenance costs),
attach a detailed budget showing current operating revenues and expenses or how such revenues and
expenses will be addressed in the future.
8. Identify any capital improvements, service, facility, or other plan in which this project has been identified as a
community need. Does the applicant have a capital improvements program? Yes _ No B
The State of Colorado has identified this project as a community need.

l::arl L+earcher of the Northern Col orado Water Conservation
District . He told me of a plan to bring water from Carter.
Lake through Fort Lupton to Brighton and that he could not
foresee any problem with my park (Sierra Vista) tying into
that line . This proposed water project should be completed
within 1 1/2 to 2 years .

Mr. Hank Brown
c/o Sherri
1015 37th Ave. Ct. Suite 101-A
Greeley, CO 80634
Dear Mr. Brown:
I have spoken with your administrative assistant, Sherri, and she
advised re to write this letter to you c/o her. It concerns the history
of rw mobile hate park in Brighton, CO' and my efforts to purify its contam-
inated water. Although the problem goes back over a decade, I will put
forth only the recent history which is relevant to the current issue.
Beginning with Attachment #1, you can see that the nitrate levels in
the water in 1987 were four titres the maximum contaminate level.
On May 15, 1988, I received an enforcement order from the Colorado Department
of Health. In reply to that, I had several conversations with Jerry
Bibers'-ine, the then Drinking Water Unit Leader of the Colorado Department
of Health. (A copy of the enforcement order is marked Attachment #2.)
In a letter from Mr. Biherstine dated July 8, 1988, he proposed a compliance
schedule, a copy of which is attached (Attachment #2A) . I proceeded with
his first step, and, to help me with an appropriate decision, I hired
Judith L. Hamilton, a ground-water hydrologist. Her opinion was that
biological denitrification would he able to supply low cost drinking
water, and she wrote a letter to Dr. Joanne Silverstein of the University
of Colorado to that effect (see Attachment #3) . Judy' s purpose in that was
to interest Dr.Silverstein in conducting her field studies on denitrification
in my .mobile ham park. (Also during this period, I hired a private agency
to run an analysis on the park's water, the result of which was 45mg/L:
Attachment #4.)
Judy's final report (Attachment *5) outlined two solutions (in addition to
the denitrification) to my problem: an Arapahoe well (approx. 275 ft. deep)
or a ;aramie-Fox Hills well (approx. 925 ft. deep) . Her implied reccar
rmndation was for .the latter, as the former's water is decidedly unpredict-
able in quality. On her recomendation I spoke to my. neighbor (who owns
sufficient acreage adjacent to mine to make the raramie-Hills aquifier cork)
and he agreed to allow me to tap into his underground water. Then, two
-2-
months later, Judy sent me a letter (see Attachment #6) full of encourage-
ment concerning the C.U. denitrification program. Well, that program went
to the City of Brighton., so I'm back where I started: looking at the
necessity of digging a well nearly 1000 ft. dccp which would cost approximate-
ly $50,000.
In the meantime, I've had another enforcement order (issued February, 1989--
see Attachment #7) .
I believe I've shown myself to be a concerned landlord, attempting to
comply with the law. On the EPA's advice, I have contacted the following
sources of assistance: Colorado Rural Water, Colorado Water Conservation
BO ay, Rural Community Assistance Program, Local Government Service Technical
Assistance Program, USDA Hone Administration, Colorade Department of Local
Affairs, and Colorado Municipal League. Unfortunately, none of theae
programs are available to private individuals.
The matter, Mr. Brown, is something of a Catch-22: as a landlord of a
63-space mobile hone park, I am made to he responsible for the drinking
water of approximately 200 people. Even as the EPA says (Attachment #8) ,
I am a public water system operator, and yet public funds to assist me
in cleansing this water are being denied to me. It is.my hope that you
can oven a new avenue for me to pursue, and you certainly have my permission
to conduct any investigation you feel necessary to help improve the
drinking water in this nubile mulie park.
Yours sincerely,
Joe 'G. Cabrera
P.S. There's also the possibility of bringing in water from the City of
Brighton. That would have 2 advantages: it would provide my tenants
with good drinking water and also cleanse that of the community of
Wattenburg, only . away. The difficulty, once again, is the
expense — who' s responsible, who foots the bill for public health?
