The proposed 35.098 acre parcel borders public lands administered by this office. These statements are similar to those presented in my December 15, 1993, letter regarding a previous subdivision proposal of this property. 1. The landowner should be aware of the location of property boundaries to ensure no encroachment occurs on public land. 2. We are not aware of the location of utilities for power, telephone, etc. to the property. If utilities are proposed that would cross public land, the utility company would have to obtain a right-of-way from this office. An environmental assessment report would be completed as a part of the ROW permitting process. 3. The adjacent public land is not currently being permitted for livestock grazing. Public lands are open for hunting and other dispersed recreation activities. The proponent should be aware that such recreation uses are allowed on BLM-administered lands. We appreciate the opportunity to comment on this action. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Jim Byers in this office at 945-2341.

Mr. Huer explained that the current plan is to split the property into two pieces and to utilize: one= of the parcels as a go cart track enterprise. There are currently no plane for the second parcel.. This property is within the boundaries of the Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District and. the district will provide service to the property. While I have not seen any plans for the proposed go cart track, I do not foresee any special conditions that would create unusual fire protection hazards with the exception of on•aite f lel storage. Any on -site fuel storage will be required to be installed and maintained in accordance with NFPA standard 30 (Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code). Water supply for fire protection it a problem as there is currently no onsite water supply.. The owner should provide access to Cattle Creek for the fire department and install a dry hydrant into the creek for water supply for fire protection. The dry hydrant will be required to be installed in accordance with NFPA standard 1231 (Water Supplies for Fire Fighting).: Additionally, the dry hydrant should be made available to the fire department for fire fighting.. purposes in the surrounding area if you have any questions feel free to contact me at 963.2491.

Attached is a copy of our report dated April 2, 1993. Based upon our investigation, it is our opinion that an adequate domestic water supply can be developed through construction of new well(s) in the Cattle Creek alluvium and/or by tapping into the existing Cattle Creek Water User's system, and/or by developing the unadjudicated spring located in the southern portion of Parcel B.

O. Box 219 Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81602 (303) 945-7755 Denver Direct Line: 893-1608 RE: Cattle Creek Property — Water Resources Inventory and Water Supply Options Dear Carl: At your request, Wright Water Engineers (WWE) has investigated the water resources and water supply options for development of your 70 -acre site on Cattle Creek. We have examined the water rights appurtenant to the property, estimated the water demand based upon the proposed land use, and evaluated the water supply options to serve the proposed development. SUMMARY The following water resources are associated with the property: • 42 shares of the Glenwood Ditch for irrigation of 18 acres. • A 3/4 -inch tap from the Cattle Creek Springs & Pipeline System (Cattle Creek Water Users' system). • Unadjudicated spring with an estimated flow of 5 gpm. • Cattle Creek through the property. • Alluvial groundwater aquifer. The estimated average annual domestic water requirements for proposed development of the property totals approximately 16,700 gallons per day (gpd). The demand for Parcel A can be served by the existing 3/4 -inch tap from the Cattle Creek Springs. The remaining domestic water demand can be supplied by either acquiring additional shares of the Cattle Creek Springs & Pipeline or by drilling a new well(s) with a minimum long --term safe yield of approximately 15 gpm. In our opinion, both alternatives would provide an adequate supply of water for the proposed development. However, there are potential long-term water quality concerns with the Cattle Creek Springs and regulatory issues with the Colorado Department of health (CDOI-I). In addition, the unadjudicated spring can be developed to serve some of the water demand. Mr. Carl Midland April 2, 1993 Page 2 WATER RIGHTS Properly decreed water rights for potable and irrigation water are required to develop the Midland property. Irrigation Water Rights In recent years the property has been irrigated by the Glenwood Ditch. Midland holds a water rights lease to use 42 shares of the Glenwood Ditch. The lease is with the previous owner of the land, Union Oil Company, and ends December 31, 2001. These shares are part of a water augmentation plan (W-2206) whereby Union Oil, upon demand, can transfer the historic consumptive use to their oil shale operation near Parachute, Colorado. Midland is required to use the shares to irrigate 18 acres on the property. To meet the irrigation needs on the Midland property, Union Oil's interests in the Glenwood Ditch could be permanently acquired if Union agrees, or additional shares of the Glenwood Ditch could be acquired and transferred to the property, provided that no portion of the Union Oil water augmentation plan (W-2206) is violated. Potable Water Supply Water Rights If the existing Cattle Creek Water Users' system were to be used to provide potable water to the Midland property, the existing decreed right on that system, would, in our opinion, provide a firm water right. It would be protected by the operating criteria for Green Mountain Reservoir. The Cattle Creek Springs & Pipeline, for 70 gpm, was adjudicated in 1971 with a 1968 appropriation date. If a new well(s) is used as a source of water, water rights would need to be acquired. We believe it would be easy and straightforward to acquire augmentation water from Ruedi Reservoir for out -of -priority diversions by the well's junior rights. The only vested water rights between a well on the property and the Roaring Fork River are for Cattle Creek diversions to the Glenwood Ditch. We believe that an agreement can be reached with the Glenwood Ditch that would allow the "exchange" of Ruedi Reservoir water up Cattle Creek past the Glenwood Ditch to the wells. In addition, shares of the Glenwood Ditch could be used to augment the new depletions. 1 • Mr. Carl Midland April 2, 1993 Page 4 The estimated average annual potable water demand for the proposed development is approxi- mately 15 gpm with a peak day demand of approximately 35 gpm. A storage tank may be required to meet peak demands as well as fire flow requirements to be set by the Carbondale and Rural Fire Protection District. The above is based upon conceptual level planning and should be refined when more detailed plans for development of each parcel are available. WATER SUPPLY OPTIONS Cattle Creek Water Users Association The Cattle Creek Water Users Association serves about 12 potable taps north of and including the Midland property. Its water supply is delivered from a spring on Cattle Creek near the east end of the Midland property. The water is chlorinated and reported to be hard. It is not regulated by the State as a community public water supply because it currently serves less than 15 homes. If the remaining four parcels (B, C, D and E) of the Midland property tapped into the Association's water system, then the system would be required to meet the standards of a public water supply as promulgated by the EPA and CDOH. Given the location of the spring adjacent to the Circle Y Salvage Yard, the CDOII would require a Particulate Analysis and tests for total petroleum hydrocarbons and primary drinking water standards test. Based upon the results of these tests, an expensive filtration system and/or hydrocarbon removal may be required. According to Slim Welcher, the spring has provided an adequate water supply for the users for many years. The spring is reported to yield 70 gpm. We have not confirmed this nor can we state with certainty whether or not the added potable water requirements of the Midland property would exceed the current yield of the existing collection and pumping system spring. Based upon records kept in the pump house, the current average use is approximately 15 gpm with an estimated peak day use of approximately 40 gpm. Groundwater Suppiv The bedrock under the property is the Eagle Valley Evaporite (Pennsylvanian). This formation can be seen on the property above the valley bottom on the sides of the hills. These evaporites have a high percent of gypsum, and are soluble and erodible. The Eagle Valley Evaporite is known for its poor water quality and will not yield an acceptable quality of water for a potable water system without extensive treatment such as reverse osmosis. The fluvial deposits laid down by Cattle Creek on the property are considered "younger alluvium." The maximum depth on the property is unknown and may, on the western edge of the property, be underlain by older alluvium that may have a higher water yield. Mr. Carl Midland April 2, 1993 Page 5 According to the State of Colorado's 1974 Environmental Geology No. 8 Report titled "Roaring Fork and Crystal Valleys, an Environmental and Engineering Geologic Study," the property is underlain by a potential sand and gravel source area. There are no registered wells and no decreed springs on the property. There are numerous wells in the Cattle Creek alluvium upstream of the Midland property with reported yields of 10 gpm to 45 gpm. Our field investigation of the spring in Parcel B indicated a flow rate of approximately 5 gallons per minute on March 12 and March 26, 1993. In our opinion, adequate water quantity and quality can be obtained from well(s) in the Cattle Creek alluvium. RECOMMENDATIONS Based upon our investigation presented in this report, we offer the following recommendations: • File a water rights application on the spring located at the base of the ridge in Parcel B. This water can be developed for numerous uses on the property including domestic and irrigation. Use of the spring will be out -of -priority diversions and must be augmented. • Acquire permanent shares of the Glenwood Ditch. • Commence negotiations with the Cattle Creek Springs & Pipeline water users to acquire shares of the system. • Drill a test well in the Cattle Creek alluvium at the west end of the property to verify adequate water quantity and quality. This would cost between $5,000 and $10,000 depending upon the depth. This can could be converted to a production well. MJE/blh 931-023.000 Very truly yours, WRIGIIT WATER ENGINEERS, INC.
