I was recently
I was recently contacted by Mr. Peter Christeleit concerning fire
protection for a subdivision he wishes to do off of 119 road.
At this time the area in question is not within the boundries of
the Glenwood Springs Rural Fire District. Fire protection for
this area would generally be the responsibility of the Sheriff's
office.
The Sheriff, upon notification of a fire, could contact us or
another department and request assitance. We would of course do
whatever we could to assist.
If I can be of further assistance or if you need additional
information, please feel free to contact my office.
Sincerely, f�

BASALT WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT
WATER ALLOTMENT CONTRACT
Pursuant to C.R.S. 1973. 37-45-131)
The Applicant, Christeleit Subdivision Homeowner's Association, has applied to the Basalt
Water Conservancy District (hereinafter the "District"), a political subdivision of the State of
Colorado, organized pursuant to and existing by virtue of Colorado Revised Statutes, 1973, 37-
45-101, el Eq., for an allotment Contract for beneficial use of water rights owned, leased, or
hereafter acquired by the District. By execution of this Contract, Applicant hereby agrees to the
following terms and conditions:
1. QUANTITY: In consideration of the covenants and conditions herein contained,
Applicant shall be entitled to receive and apply to beneficial use 90 cubic feet of water per second
from the District direct flow rights and 3.7 acre feet per year of storage water owned or
controlled by the District.
2. SOURCE OF ALLOTTED WATER: Water rights allotted pursuant to this
Contract shall be from the District's water rights decreed to the Basalt Conduit, Landis Canal,
Stockman's Ditch Extension or other decrees or water rights hereafter acquired by the District,
including the District's contractual right to receive storage water from Ruedi Reservoir. The
District shall have the right to designate the water right or Decree of the District from which the
Applicant's allotted rights shall be obtained. The Applicant's use of any of the District's water
rights shall be subject to any and all terms and conditions imposed by the Water Court on the use
of the District's said rights. Exchange releases made from the District's storage rights in Ruedi
Reservoir or other works and facilities of the District shall be delivered to the Applicant at the
outlet works of said storage facility and release of water at such outlet works shall constitute full
performance of the District's delivery obligation. Delivery of water from the District's storage
rights in Ruedi Reservoir shall be subject to the District's lease Contract with the United States
Bureau of Reclamation and any rules and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.
3. PURPOSE AND LOCATION OF USE: Applicant will use the waters herein
granted for beneficial purposes limited to the augmentation of existing and future wells and other
water sources, within or through facilities or upon lands owned, operated or served by Applicant,
which lands are more fully described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto; provided that the location
and purpose of Applicant's use of said water shall be legally recognized and permitted by the
applicable governmental authority having jurisdiction over the property served. Applicant's
contemplated usage for the water allotted hereunder is for the following use or uses:
Municipal: Domestic: X Agricultural:
Industrial: Other:
Applicant acknowledges that usage of the District's water rights as herein contemplated
shall be in lieu of or supplemental to Applicant obtaining or adjudicating, on its own, the right
to use certain waters. It is acknowledged that certain locations within the District may not be
susceptible to service solely by the District's water rights allotted hereunder or the District's said
water rights may not satisfy Applicant's needs and purposes. To the extent that service cannot
be achieved by use of the District's allotted water rights, or in the event said service is
inadequate, Applicant may, utilize such other water rights, by way of supplementing the
District's water rights, or otherwise, as is necessary to assure water service sufficiently reliable
for Applicant's intended purpose or purposes. All lands, facilities and areas served by water
rights allotted hereunder shall be situated within the boundaries of the District. The District
reserves the exclusive right to review and approve any conditions which may be attached to
judicial approval of Applicant's use of the District's water rights allotted hereunder. Applicant
agrees to defray any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the District in connection with the allot-
ment of water rights hereunder, including, but not limited to, reimbursement of legal and
engineering costs incurred in connection with any water rights adjudication necessary to allow
Applicant's use of such allotted water rights; provided, however, in the event any such
adjudication involves more of the District's water rights than are allotted pursuant to this
Contract, Applicant shall bear only a pro -rata portion of such expenses. Applicant shall be solely
responsible for providing works and facilities, if any, necessary to utilize the District's water
rights allotted hereunder for Applicant's beneficial use.
Water service provided by the District shall be limited to the amount of water available
in priority at the original point of diversion of the District's applicable water right and neither
the District, nor those entitled to utilize the District's decrees, may call on any greater amount
at new or alternate points of diversion. The District shall request the Colorado State Engineer
to estimate any conveyance losses between the original point and any alternate point and such
estimate shall be deducted from this amount in each case. The District, or anyone using the
District's decrees, may call on any additional sources of supply that may be available at an
alternate point of diversion, but not at the original point of diversion, only as against water rights
which are junior to the date of application for the alternate point of diversion.
In the event the Applicant intends to develop an augmentation plan and institute legal
proceedings for the approval of such augmentation plan to allow the Applicant to utilize the
water allotted to Applicant hereunder, the Applicant shall give the District written notice of such
intent. In the event the Applicant develops and adjudicates an augmentation plan to utilize the
water allotted hereunder, Applicant shall not be obligated to bear or defray any legal or
engineering expense of the District incurred by the District for the purpose of developing and
adjudicating a plan of augmentation for the District. In any event, the District shall have the
right to approve the Applicant's augmentation plan and the Applicant shall provide the District
copies of such plan and of all pleadings and other papers filed with the Water Court in the
adjudication thereof.
4. PAYMENT: Applicant shall pay annually for the water service described herein
at a price to be fixed annually by the Board of Directors of the District for such service. The
initial annual payment shall be made, in full, within 15 days after the date of a notice from the
District that the initial payment is due. Said notice will advise the Applicant, among other
•
things, of the water delivery year to which the payment shall apply and the price which is
applicable to that year. Annual payments for each year thereafter shall be made by the Applicant
on or before each March 1. If an annual payment is not made by the due date, written notice
thereof will be sent by the District to the Applicant at Applicant's address set forth below. If
payment is not made within ten (10) days after said written notice, the District may, at its option,
elect to terminate all of the Applicants right, title, or interest under this Contract, in which event
the water right allotted hereunder may be transferred, leased or otherwise disposed of by the
District at the discretion of its Board of Directors.
In the event water deliveries hereunder are made by or pursuant to agreement with some
other person, corporation, quasi -municipal entity, or governmental entity, and in the event the
Applicant fails to make payments as required hereunder, the District may, at its sole option and
request, authorize said person or entity to curtail the Applicant's water service pursuant to this
Contract, and in such event neither the District nor such persons or entity shall be liable for such
curtailment.
5. APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS: The Applicant agrees that so long as this
Contract is valid and in force, Applicant will budget and appropriate from such sources of
revenues as may be legally available to the Applicant the funds necessary to make the annual
payments in advance of water delivery pursuant to this Contract. The Applicant will hold
harmless the District and any person or entity involved in the delivery of water pursuant to this
Contract, for discontinuance in service due to the failure of Applicant to maintain the payments
herein required on a current basis.
6. BENEFIT OF CONTRACT: The water right allotted hereunder shall be
beneficially used for the purposes and in the manner specified herein and this Contract is for the
exclusive benefit of the Applicant and shall not inure to the benefit of any successor, assign, or
lessee of said Applicant without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors of the
District.
In the event the water right allotted hereunder is to be used for the benefit of land which
is now or will hereafter be subdivided or otherwise held or owned in separate ownership interest
by two (2) or more uses of the water right allotted hereunder, the Applicant may assign the
Applicant's rights hereunder only to a homeowners association, water district, water and
sanitation district or other special district properly organized and existing under and by virtue of
the laws of the State of Colorado and then only if such association or special district establishes
to the satisfaction of the Basalt Water Conservancy District that it has the ability and authority
to assure its performance of the Applicant's obligations under this Contract. In no event shall
the owner of a portion, but less than all, of the Applicant's property to be served under this
Contract, have any rights hereunder, except as such rights may exist through a homeowners
association or special district as above provided. Any assignment of the Applicant's rights under
this Contract shall be subject to and must comply with such requirements as the District may
hereafter adopt regarding assignment of Contract rights and the assumption of Contract
obligations by assignees and successors, provided that such requirements shall uniformly apply
3
• •
to all allottees receiving District service. The restrictions on assignment as herein contained shall
not preclude the District from holding the Applicant, or any successor to the Applicant,
responsible for the performance of all or any part of the Applicant's covenants and agreements
herein contained.
7. OTHER RULES: Applicant's rights under this Contract shall be subject to the
Water Service Plan as adopted by the District and amended from time to time; provided that such
Water Service Plan shall apply uniformly throughout the District among water users receiving
the same service from the District. Applicant shall also be bound by the provisions of the Water
Conservancy Act of the State of Colorado, the Rules and Regulations of the Board of Directors
of the District, the plumbing advisory, water conservation, and staged curtailment regulations,
if any, applicable within the County in which the water allotted hereunder is to be used, together
with all amendments of and supplements to any of the foregoing.
8. CURTAILMENT OF USE: The water service provided hereunder is expressly
subject to the provisions of that certain Stipulation in Case No. 80 CW 253 on file in the District
Court in Water Division No. 5 of the State of Colorado, which Stipulation provides, in part, for
the possible curtailment of out -of -house municipal and domestic water demands upon the
occurrence of certain events and upon the District giving notice of such curtailment, all as more
fully set forth in said Stipulation.
9. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT: Applicant shall enter into
an "Operation and Maintenance Agreement" with the District if and when the Board of Directors
finds and determines that such an agreement is required by reason of additional or special services
requested by the Applicant and provided by the District or by reason of the delivery or use of
water by the Applicant for more than one of the classes of service which are defined in the Rules
and Regulations of the Board of Directors of said District. Said agreement may contain, but not
be limited to, provision for water delivery at times or by means not provided within the terms
of standard allotment contracts of the District and additional annual monetary consideration for
extension of District services and for additional administration, operation and maintenance costs,
or for other costs to the District which may arise through services made available to the
Applicant.
10. CHANGE OF USE: The District reserves the exclusive right to review and
approve or disapprove any proposed change in use of the water right allotted hereunder. Any
use other than that set forth herein or any lease or sale of the water or water rights allotted
hereunder without the prior written approval of the District shall be deemed to be a material
breach of this Contract.
11. PRIOR RESOLUTION: The water service provided hereunder is expressly subject
to that certain Resolution passed by the Board of Directors of the District on September 25, 1979,
and all amendments thereto, as the same exists upon the date of this application and allotment
Contract.
12. NO FEE TITLE: It is understood and agreed that nothing herein shall give the
Applicant any equitable or legal fee title interest or ownership in or to any of the water or water
rights of the District, but that Applicant is entitled to the right to use the water right allotted
hereunder, subject to the limitations, obligations and conditions of this Contract.
13. CONSERVATION PRACTICES: Applicant shall implement and use commonly
accepted conservation practices with respect to the water and water rights allotted hereunder and

INTRODUCTION
• •
The proposed Christeleit Subdivision Project is located in Spring
Valley on the east side of Red Canyon. See the enclosed Basin Map
for site location. There are no major drainages that affect this
property. In fact, all drainages affecting this property are
fairly small and are not developed. Therefore, the storm runoff
flows for this site will, in general, be small and diffuse and
will not significantly impact any part of the project, except in
the near vicinity of where the proposed access road culvert
discharges onto the lower property. The 25 -year discharges from
this culvert has been calculated. Otherwise, the flows are too
diffuse to calculate to any significant accuracy.
HYDROLOGY
The hydrologic methods for this study are outlined in the Soil
Conservation Service publication "Procedures for. Determining Peak
Flows in Colorado" (1980). Peak flows in this area will be
primarily rainfall derived since the whole site is well below 8000
feet in elevation. Therefore, the storm drainage system will be
more than adequate to handle spring snowmelt runoff.
Calculations were completed for the 25 -year return frequency event
as required by County regulations.
DRAINAGE PLAN
Natural drainage paths have been left intact. This ensures that,
in general, overland flow will follow predictable historic paths.
This also decreases the amount of grading necessary for roadways
and actual building areas and thus reduces the opportunities for
erosion. In general, because of the small basins, no drainage
improvements are proposed except for a culvert under the proposed
access road where it crosses the largest drainage.
No detention is proposed for this development because of the large
lot sizes and the diffuse flows. The increase in flow due to
development on any particular lot should be insignificant. The
probable impervious area added would most likely be less than one
percent of the total lot area. In addition, the diffuse flows
would make construction of detention areas difficult and their
construction would disturb more area and cause more erosion.
In general, erosion control will consist of disturbing as little
existing vegetation as possible, and therefore, reclamation of as
little area as possible. It is anticipated that areas that must
be disturbed will be seeded with an arid area grass as recommended
by the Soil Conservation Service.
SUMMARY
The preliminary plan for Christeleit Subdivision includes only
minimal drainage improvements, but these should be adequate in
view of the small and generally diffuse flows.
