south central part of the property adjacent to Sweetwater Creek Road.
The vegetation in the project area consists of native grass attd weeds with scattered sage
in rhe lower elevations of the propertlr with scrub oak, brush and scattered pinon pine
trees on the surrounding hillsides. The topography in the project area is generally sloping
down to the south-southwest with grades up to about 100% in the nofthern part of the site.
Grading on Lots 1 and 3 is minor anci the ground strface is mostly natural. The existing
Sweetwater Perennials tacilities have a gracled tlriveway with access roads that service the
ildividual greenhouses as well as site grading for the greenhouses and residence. A
number of'ephemeral clrainages are preselrt on itillsides in the northern part of the project
area and Sweetwater Creek is located a f.ew hundred yards south of the property. The
ephemeral drainages are potentially the sites of future debris flow events during periods
ol irrt.nr. thunderstorm precipitation. Debris tlow diversion structures. consisting of earth
berrns. have been constructed on Lots 1 and 3. Exposed cobbles and boulders in the
project area are angular to subangular and are derived mainly from Belden Formation
limestone. shale and sandstone"
GEOI OGIC SETTING
The proposed subdivisron is locatecl on a series of coalescing clebris fans on the nortl, side
of the S.neetwater valley abo'le Sweetrvater Creek. I'he site is located near the easterlt

Stream Channel Alluvium: Stream channel alluvium on the property is rnostly confined
to the bottoms of hillside ephemeral drainage channels. Stream channel alluvium (Qal-1)
iS present in Sweetwater Creek to the south of the project area as well. The stream
channel alluvium locally consists of slightly bouldery, cobble to pebble gravel in a silty to
clayey sand matrix. Cobbles and boulders in the alluvium are primarily angular to
subangular Belden Fonnation derived sandstone.

Earthquake Considerations: TLre project area could experience earthquake rela.ted
ground shaking. Historic earthquake ground shaking in the region has been moderately
it.org, but has not exceeded Modified Mercaili Intensity VI (Kirkhain and Rogers, 1985).
Modified Mercalii Intensity VI ground shaking should be expected during a reasonable
exposure time for the proposecl development, but the probability for stronger ground
shiking is tow'. Intensity VI ground shaking is feit by most people and causes general
alarm. but results in negligible damiige to structures of good design and construction.
Occupied structures should be designed to withstand moderately strong ground slii:.king

lvith little or no damage and not to collapse under stronger ground shaking. The region is
in the 1997 Llniform Building Code. Seisrnic Risk Zone 1. Based on our current
understanding of the eartirquake potential in this parl of Colorado. we see no reason to
increase the previously a-ccepted seismic ri-qk zoue fc-rr the region.

44-Fore[e-Brownsto comptex, ,.Zto 25 percent slopes. ThiS map unit is on mountain side slopes.
Elevation is 6,500 to 7,500 reet. rne average annual precipitation is 12 to 14 inches, the average annual air
Grpui.trr" is 40 to 44 degrees F, and the average frost-free period is 85 b 105 days'
This unit is about 50 percent Forelle soil and 35 percent Brownsb soil.
Included in this unit are small areas of Tridell soils and basalt Rock outcrop on knolls. Also included are small
areas of Mussel and Morval soils in the more gently sloping areas. Included areas make up about 15 percent of
the total acreage.
The Forelle soil is deep and weil drained. It formed in mixed alluvium derived dominantly from sedimentary rocks.
Typically, the sur6ce iayer ls brown loam about 6 inches thick. The subsoil is day loam about 24 inches thiclc
The substratum to a depth of 60 inches is loam.
permeability is moderate in the Forelle soil. Available water capacity is high. The effective rooting depth is 60
inches or more. nuno* i rapid. The hazard of water erosion generally is nroderate, but it is severe in areas that
contain volcanic ash.
The Brownsto soil is deep and well drained. It formed in alluvium derived dominanUy from coarse te>rtured,
calcareous sandstone inl uasrrt. Typically, the upper part of the surface layer is light brownish gray gravelly
sandy loam about 4 inches thick. The lower part is right brownislr gray gravelly loam about 7 inches thick. The
,ppe, fg inches of the substratum is very gravelly sandy loam.The ne"xt 12 inches is very gravelly loamy sand'
i'nilo*u,. part to a depth of 60 inches isgiavellysandy loam. A thin layer of partially decomposed needles,
twigs, and leave is on the surface in many places-
permeability is moderate in the Brownsto soil. Avaitable water capacity is low. The effective rooting depth is 60
inches or more. Runoff is rapid, and the hazard of water erosion is moderate.
This unit is used as rangeland or as wildlife habitat
The potentiat ptant community on the Forelle soil is mainly wstern wheatgrass, bluebunch wheatgrass, Indian
ricegtrass, Douglas rabbitbrush, and Wyoming big sagebrush. MuttongEss, streambank wheatgrass, and winErfat
also are included. The average annua! produaion of airdry vegetation is about 800 pounds per acre- If the range
condition deteriorates, wyofiing big sagebrush, Douglas ribbitbrush, and cheatgrass increase in abundance-
The potential plant community on the Brownsto soil is mainly need leandthread, Indian ricegrass, westqrn
wheatgrass, and Wyominq big sagebrush. Buebunch wheatgrass, bottlebrush squirreltail, and scattered L{qh
junipel and pinyon
-pine
irso 5re included. The average annual production of airdry,vegetation is about 600
pounOs per acre. If the range condition deEriorates, Wyoming big sagebrush, Douglas rabbitbrush, cheatgrass,
and annual weeds increase in abundance.
Suitable management practices include proper grazing use and a planned grazing system. If the quality of range
,"gitution haiserious[y deteriorated, seeding ii neeoeo. The main limitation is stoniness in areas of the
Brownsto soil. For successful seeding, a seeo'ueo should be prepared and the seed drilled. In areas of the Forelle
soil, brush management improves deterionted areas of range that are producing more woody shrubs than were
present in the potential plant community. The slope limits access by livesbck. The limited accessibility results in
overgrazing of the less sloping areas'
If this unit is used for homesite darelopment, the main limitation is the slope.
This map unit is in capability subclass vie, noninigated. The Foretle soil is in the Rolling Loam range site, and the
Brownsto soil is in the Stony Foothills range site.

Subject:Percolation Testing, Sweetwater Perennials Subdivision, Sweetwater Road
(County Road 150), Garfield County, Colorado
Dear Mr. and Mrs. StorY:
As requested by you, Hepworth - Pawlak Geotechnical,Inc., performed percolation
testing at the subject site. The wolk was done in addition to our agreernent for
professional sen/ices to you, dated Februaty 4,2004. Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical
Inc., previously conducted a preliminary geologic review of the Perennials Subdivision
and reporte<l our findings in a letter rlatecl April 20, 2004, Job Number 104 139'
Two sets of percolation tests were performed at the locations shown on Figures 1 and 2'
Two profile pits and six percolation test holes were excavated on May 20,2004' The
subsoils exposed in the Profile Pits were sifirilar and consisted of clayey sandy gravel
r,vith cobbles and small boulders to the bottom pit depths of 8 feet' Graphic logs of the
profile pits are shown on Figure 3. The results of a gradation alalysis performed on a
sarnple of the clayey sandy gravel (rninus 5 inch fraction) obtained fiom the site are
presented on Figure 4. No fi'ee water was observed in the pits md the soils were slightly
moist to moist. percolation test holes were hand dug in the bottorn of shallow bacldroe
pits.
percolation testing was conducted on May 20, 2o04,by a representative of l{epworth -
Pawlak Geotec[nical, Inc. The percolation test results a1e surlmarized on Table l '
Based on the subsurface conditions encountered and the percolation test results' the tested
area should be suitable for a conventional infiltration septic disposal system'

INTRODUCTION AND LOCATION
The address for the properly is 0'193 Sweetwater Road, Gypsum, co 81637.
The current site contains an existing single-family residence together with an irrigation
pond under construction located in proposed future lot 2, Stock walls have been
constructed in the area of future lot 2 from local stone (see below) but these have no
significant impact on the drainage.
Plant nursery areas are currently operating in proposed future lot 1 with two basic areas
of gravel surface to the Nofih and South.
There is no current development in the area of future Lot 3 apart from some excavation
and regrading for local stone used in the construction of on-site walls. The significant
drainage feature has been preserved during the regrading work.
The local topography slopes downward from North to the South to Sweetwater Creek.
Two significant drainage gullies enter both proposed lots 1 and 3.
An existing irrigation ditch known as the Gannon Ditch crosses the property from west
to east and is diverted to the south, unused water exiting via the culvert to the south of
the property.
The ditch flow is negliEible relative to 100 year storm flows.
It is our understanding that the intent of the Minor Subdivision is to divide the existing lot
into three lots, as defined on White Surveying drawing dated March 10, 2003
(# 03-032).
The existing single-family residence will remain on Proposed lot 2. For the analysis we
have assumed single-family residences located on proposed lots 1 and 3 together with
graded gravel access drives.
PREVIOUS DRAINAGE STUDIES
To the best of our knowledge, there are no existing drainage reports for this area.
HYDROLOGIC AREA
The rainfall catchment area affecting the site was divided into 2 basins, which
individually contribute to the two gullies entering the site and the runoff water leaving the
site.Basin 01 tributary area contributing to the gully entering proposed lot 3 and Basin
02 tributary area contributing to the gully entering proposed lot 1 and lot 2.
Two control points were selected for the comparison of flows leaving the site; Control
point 1, Located at the end of the drainage swale on the south boundary of proposed lot
3, serving basin 01. At this point, discharge sirnply crosses the surface of the Countyroad. Control Point 2, located at the inlet of the 18" diameter culvert in a ditch on the
south boundary of proposed lot 2, serving the runoff from basin 02.

For Basin 02 which encompasses proposed lots 2 and 3 a theoretical house footprint of
1,500 square feet envisaged in the northwest corner of Lotl was added for the post
developed condition. The existing area of gravel surface was left unchanged and it is
assumed that this would be reconfigured to incorporate a driveway.
For Basin 01 which encompasses lot 3, a theoretical house footprint of 1,500 square
feet together with a gravel surface driveway of 9,000 square feet was added for the post
developed condition.
HYDROLOGIC CRITERIA AND METHODOLOGY
Runoff flows for the different basins were calculated using the U.S. Department of
Agriculture Soil Conservation Service Technical Release No. 55 Procedures for
Determininq Peak Flows in Colorado. The drainage basins, hydrologic curve numbers,
times of concentrations, traveltime, peak discharges, and the calculated hydrographs
for the pre-development conditions are shown in Appendix A. Similar data and
calculations for the post-developed conditions are provided in Appendix B.
The rate of runoflfor the 1OO-year design frequency storm event was computed using
the rainfall values from the NOAA Atlas 2, Precipitation Frequency Atlas of the Western
United States, Volume lll-Colorado 1973.
The overland flows for the drainage basin were broken into three categories of flow
types as follows: sheet flow, shallow concentrated flow, and channel flow. The individual
calculations for the times of concentration based on the various flow types are provided
for the basin in Appendix A and Appendix B. The T.R. 55 method calculates the times of
concentration (Tc) of the basin and a subsequent travel time from the basin outfall to the
composite watershed outfall point, which in this case are identical.
Following the calculation of the times of concentration, the runoff curve numbers for pre
and post development conditions are calculated. The basin is separated into areas
having a common runoff curve number, and then a weighted curve number is calculated
for the entire basin.
Following the calculation of the times of concentration and the weighted curye numbers,
pre and post development hydrographs are calculated. The peak rate of runoff for the
pre and post development conditions are provided in Appendix A and B respectively.
The results of our Calculations the peak rates of runofl due to the '1O0-year storm were
as follows;
Control Point 1 for basin 01 (Drainage Swale exiting proposed lot 3 and Crossing
suriace of road)
Pre developed peak flow rate = 20.0432 cfs
Drainage Study, Story Subdivision
April22,2004
Page 4 of 14 H :\04467\Story drainage report . doc
Post developed peak flow rate = 20.3858 cfs
Control point 2 for basin 02 (drainage for proposed Lots 1 and2 and exiting at inlet of
existing 18" diameter culvert in ditch)
Pre developed peak flow rate = 24.2881 cfs
Post developed peak flow rate = 24.3567 cfs
PROPOSED DRAINAGE PATTERNS
Proposed Lots 1 and 2
The increase in run off is insignificant; this is due to the relatively small increase in
impermeable area in comparison with the large catchment area.
The existing '18" diameter culvert will carry a flow of approximately half of that generated
by a 1 in 100 year storm event. The surface depression currently formed by the ditch
on the North side of Sweetwater road will act as detention pond for minor storms but is
insufficient to cope with a 1O0-year storm event. The flow will cross the road surface,
both in the pre and post developed conditions. Therefore the development would have
no significant impact from the present undeveloped condition.
We do however have concern in respect of a debris flow discharging into the property
from the gulley. We have marked an approximate area of a debris fan on our plans.
The siting of a new building should avoid the influence of a potential debris flow and/or
mitigation measures should be designed by a qualified engineer registered in the State
of Colorado. The current minor grading which has been carried out to divert water way
from the plant Nursery area will only divert nuisance flows and will have no measurable
impact under major storm conditions where a debris flow could occur.
Proposed Lot 3
As in Lots '1 and 2, the increase in runoff is insignrficant. The existing storm discharge
will flow over the top of the road and in the future developed condition the situation vrill
remain the same. However we have concerns in respect of debris flow from the gully
and have shown our predicted area of the debris fan on our drawing. Any proposed
construction should avoid the affected zone or be constructed with features, which
mitigate the debris flow hazard as mentioned for lots 1 and 2 above. The current
grading appears to have preserved the original logical line of the gully and directs run
off flows across the road, but will not arrest a debris flow.
CONCLUSIONS
As noted above, the proposed improvements on the site will have no measurable
impact on downstrearn propefty owners in the form of increased runoff. However care
must be taken with the positioning of new buildings, which will be occupied.

ldeally the location should avoid debris flow completely, othenruise mitigation can be
designed. Examples of appropriate mitigation would be a robust wall, which wouldi I deflect the debris flow. Alternatively integrating a heavy reinforced concrete wall into the' exposed face of the building, and ensuring there are no openings, which would allow a
mudflow to enter.
We would recommend that during the development stage of the lots the location of any
i. : occupied buildings be optirnized and, if needed, specific mitigation be designed by an
I I Engineer registered in the State of Colorado as part of the detailed preparation of
building plans.

Re: Sweetwater Gardens Fire Protection Plan
Dear Mr. Hardcastle:
Kevin Story has asked Wright Water Engineers, Inc. (WWE) to address the fire protection
available to the three-lot Sweetwater Gardens Subdivision located in Section 23, Township 3
South, Range 87 West of the 6th Principal Meridian. Section 9.7 of the Garfield County
Subdivision Regulations does not appear to have any set fire protection standards for a three-lot
rural subdivision located outside of a fire protection district.
Currently, there is only one single-family home in the subdivision. There is an existing pond
located ubout 50 feet from the home. The pond was decreed in water court case No. 03CW247,
has a capacity of about 0.5 acre-feet (160,000 gallons), and is filled by the Gannon Ditch.
Paragraph 3 of the Judgment and Decree for the pond requires a "permanent power supply and
permanent pump system" be an integral part of the pond.
The main purpose of the pond is operational irrigation flow; i.e., the pond can be filled and
refilled by a cbntinuous low flow rate from the Gannon Ditch and water can be pumped out of
the pond at a higher rate for short periods of tirne. The pond will also function as a fire flow
suppty and for water right augmentation purposes. It is WWE's understanding that Mr. Story
intends to keep at Ieast 40,000 gallons of water in the pond at all times. Currently, there is
minimal fire protection for the existing home. However, the pond and pump system located near
the house provide some protection, which is much more than many isolated residential homes.
Mr. Story is aware of and has reviewed the "Living with Wildland
Homeowners" publication by the Glenwood Springs Fire Department, et
available at h ttp ://u, u' u,. q I en wood li rc.com, under Pt'e ven t i on.

INTRODUCTION AND LOCATION
The address for the property is 0193 Sweetwater Road, Gypsum, CO 81637.
The current site contains an existing single-family residence together with an irrigation
pond under construction located in proposed future lot 2. Stock walls have been
##,ilffi;."fi;'ri"r'iitiiri" ro,i;I#i;.rr:i;; (see berow) but these have no l{ttt F
significant impact on the drainage. --/ ,/ rtr*
Plant nursery areas are currently operating in proposed future lot 1 with two baslprteas {,''t'-
of gravel surface to the North and South. 4."
There is no current development in the area of future Lot 3 apart from some e{Eavation-- r /
and regrading for local stone used in the construction of on-site walls. The significant
drainage feature has been preserved during the regrading work.
The local topography slopes downward from North to the South to Sweetwater Creek.
Two significant drainage gullies enter both proposed lots 1 and 3.
An existing irrigation dltch known as the Gannon Ditch crosses the propefty from west
to east and is diverted to the south, unused water exiting via the culvert to the south of
the property.
The ditch flow is negligible relative to 100 year storm flows.
It is our understanding that the intent of the Minor Subdivision is to divide the existing lot
into three lots, as defined on White Surveying drawing dated March 10, 2003
(# o3-032).
The existing single-family residence will remain on Proposed lot 2.
have assumed single-family residences located on proposed lots 1

To the best of our knowledge, there are no existing drainage reports for this arca.
HYDROLOGIC AREA
The rainfall catchment area affecting the site was divided into 2 basins, which
individually contribute to the two gullies entering the site and the runoff water leaving the
site.Basin 01 tributary area contributing to the gully entering proposed lot 3 and Basin
02 tributary area contributing to the gully entering proposed lot 1 and lot 2.
Two control points were selected for the comparison of flows leaving the site; Control
point 1, Located at the end of the drainage swale on the south boundary of proposed lot
3, serving basin 01. At this point, discharge simply crosses the surface of the County
road. Control Point 2, located at the inlet of the 18" diameter culvert in a ditch on the
south boundary of proposed lot 2, serving the runoff from basin 02.

For Basin 02 which encompasses proposed lots 2 and 3 a theoretical house footprint of

assumed that this would be reconfigured to incorporate a driveway.

A LAIIP SUBI/EYORS
INDIVIDUAL SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The following tips and suggestions are intended to increase the useful life of your engineered
sewage disposal system and to prevent disposal system failure due to neglect and abuse. The
design of this system is designed for a minimum number of persons occupying the stated structures.
A larqer occupancv rate than the design rate may result in an overload of the septic system
and cause immediate system failure or a reduction of the life span of the leaching area.
MINIMIZE THE LIQUIDS
Wastewater that enters the system can be minimized by practicing water conservation practices
within your home. The less wastewater you produce, the less wastewater there will be to treat and
Repair leaky fixtures. Check the toilet(s), by dropping food-coloring dye in the
tank(s) and see if it shows up in the bowl prior to flushing.
Wash clothes only when you have a full load.
Take short showers instead of baths. Don't turn on the shower all the way and turn it
off while lathering.
lnstall and use water saving fixtures and devices in your bathrooms, laundry rooms
and kitchens.
Do not let the water run while washing, shaving, brushing teeth, rinsing vegetables,
dishes, etc. Use a stoppered basin where possible.
Provide adequate drainage around the engineered system area to divert surface
runoff from higher ground during storms or winter snowmelt.
MINIMIZE THE SOLIDS
Septic systems are "anaerobic" treatment systems. Digestion of solid materials is very slow and
requires air or "aerobic" conditions to "disappear". The less material you put into the system, the
less often it will require pumping. A good rule to follow is:
"Don't use your septic system for anything that can be disposed of in some other
way"
1 . Avoid using a garbage disposal. Throw out scraps and other garbage with the trash.
2. Collect grease in a container rather than pouring it down the sink.
3. Minimize the disposal of paper products into the system. Non-degradable items
such as disposable diapers, sanitary napkins, tissues, cigarette butts and paper
towels are especially harmfulto the system.
/SDSO&MManual

Only three thinos should go into the septic tank:
Human Wastes;
Toilet Paper; and
Water.
Ordinary household chemicals (bleaches, detergents & soaps) will not hurt the
bacteria in your system when not used in excessive amounts.
DO NOT DISPOSE O!LS, PAINTS, THINNERS OR OTHERTOXIC LIQUIDS INTO
YOUR SYSTEM.
SEPTIC TANK ADDITIVES
Advertised chemical additives, bacteria, enzymes, etc. do not help solids breakdown in the septic
tank and should not be used to reduce the need for pumping the septic tank.
REGULAR INSPECTIONS
Septic Tank:
To inspect the septic tank, remove the manhole cover at the inlet end of the tank. Use a
shovel to push the scum layer away from the side of the tank and estimate its thickness. lf
the scum layer is 12" thick or more, arrange to have the septic tank pumped immediately.
Replace the cover and wash off the shovel and your hands.
For an average 3 or 4 bedroom residence, the pumping interval forthe septic tank is usually
between 2 and 4 years. Annual inspection of the septic tank should become part of your
overall home maintenance routine.
Effluent Filter:
The effluent filter should be fitted with an alarm to warn when it is becoming plugged,
regardless if an alarm is present or not, the filter should be inspected and cleaned following
the manufacturers recommendations, or at least once per year.
Dosing Tank or Pump Station:
To inspect the dosing tank, follow the same instructions for the septic tank. However, there
should not be a scum layer or sediments inside the tank. Check to see if the water level
markings are consistent on the side of the tank. Variability indicates that the siphon or
effluent pump is not operating properly. lf the water level is near the top of the markings,
wait for the siphon or pump to operate and watch for problems. The siphon has an overflow
pipe in which the effluent will flow out of the tank by gravity. Should this be occurring, have
the tank pumped and check the siphon openings to see if they are plugged.
Filter Mound or Trench:
/SDSO&MManual
Page 2 of 2
4.
5.
b.
Check the observation tubes regularly. Standing water near the same elevation as the
natural soil surface (or higher) may be an indication of trouble.
Look for seepage or excessive wetness near the base of the filter mound or trench area.
SUMMARY
A general inspection of the septic tank, dosing tank (or pump station), filter mound or trench area
should be made each year. These inspections are best made during the wet season of the year.
lf these items are not routinely inspected, solids can carry over into the disposal areas from the
septic tank and clog the system resulting in system failure and health hazard risks. ln areas with
potentially high ground water, the septic tank should be pumped during low water months such
as September, October, and November. Pumping during high water months may cause the
septic tank to float out of the ground.

RE:ReviewofthePreliminaryPlanSubmittalfortheStorySubdivision
Dear Fred:
At the request of Garfield county, Resource Engineering, lnc' (RESOURCE) has reviewed the
pretiminary plan submittal for the propo="0-6tory"SuUOlviiign loiated at 0'193 Sweetwater Road'
The submittal includes a package witn covei iettei oateo March 25' 2oo5' We reviewed the
technical issues related to water rignts and water supply, wastewater, drainage, geology/soils'
;il.d; and road. our comments are presented below'
WATER RIGHTS AND WATER SUPPLY
The project is proposed to be served by individual wells on each of the three lots' The decree in
water court case rrlo.-oicwz+z provioeJi"iinr"" wells and two ponds on the property The
case includes a plan for augmentation *nilr,'pto'ides for in-house potable uses for up to 6
dwe,ing units. trrigatio; *it6ln tn" proju.i'*irr'be with existing irrigation rights in the Gannon
Ditch. The plan for augmentation relies on'6.a-r.t" feet of cintrait water from the Colorado
River Wateroon"e*rtiio -oirtri.t ano rerlaset t** one or bsth of the proposed ponds' An
existing house witn ln'existing welr is tocateO on Lot 2' A new well permit for Lot 2 will be
required pursuant to in" 0".r"6 in Crr" No' 03CW2 47 alongwith permits for Lots 1 and 3 Well
'p-"]rit-"riplications for these wells were submitted in December 2004.
The submittal does not address the r:equirements. of section 4'91'a or for 4'91'd regarding
evidence of a water supply sufficient in terlnl ot quatity, quantity and dependability' However' the
existing we1 has a reported yield of rs gp;a;itne piobert1l i! in close proximity to Sweetwater
Creek.
The Story property is not located within a fire protection district' According to the wright water
Engineers' (\ ruVE) irnu"ry 20, 2005.lett"r, ao,"ooo-t'rront of storage in the pond system will be

Debris flows. The site is crossed by two incised drainages. The western drainage is aboutl0 ft deep
where ir enters the site from the north. il;;ir ranging,o uorio"r size can be obierved on the sides of
the drainage. Bourders are also present on the rouih rio. oii*""twater Rd, where previous flows from

HiX',","n,"s for getting this to you in emailformat. My home computer is having "issues" doing word at the
moment.
ln my memo ol St2}to3,which is in the submitted prelim.plan, I requested..a noxious weed inventory and a
weed mgt. plan that *olro "oor"ss
any noxious weeds detected. This still needs to be done. lf the applicant
il"f, tn"V don,t have any noxious weeds, they need to state that.
The revegetation issues that I mentioned in the same memo don't need to be addressed as this project
appears to be a,,lot-split" and there are no .rrf* disturbance issues (at least now) that would require
revegetation.

Dear Mr. Jarman.
We have reviewed the above-referenced proposal to subdivide a parcel of approximately
18.203 acres into 3 residential lots with one single-family dwelling and one accessory dwelling uhiton each lot' An existing residence on the property is currently supplied by an existing exempiwett(Permit No. 158441). The applicants propose the construction of two new wells to supply waterfor domestic uses to the residences on the new lots. Sewage disposal is to be through individualseptic systems. lrrigation water will be provided through conditional water rights as decreed inWater Court Case No. 03CW247.
Review of the decree in Case No. 03CW247 shows that the applicants were granted anabsolute water right for the existing well (Story Well No. 1), in the amount of 15 gpm, for domesticuse in a single-family dwelling. Conditional rights were granted as follows: for t[e Story Well No.
1 , 15 gpm for domestic use in an accessory dwelllng; for tne Story Well Nos. 2 and 3, 15 gpm(each well) for domestic use in a single-family dwelling and an accessory dwelling unit; foiiheStory Pond Nos. 1 and 2, a total surface area (all ponds) of 1.1 acres and total .trrg" capacity(all ponds) of 4-0 acre-feet for supplemental and new irrigation of 7 acres, augmentation, aestheticpurposes and stockwater; and for the Gannon Ditch Story Enlargement, 1.0 Cfs for supplemental
and new irrigation of 7 acres and fill and refill rights for the Story Ponds. Note that the decreedoes not allow any outside uses (e.g., irrigation) for water from the wells. The decree also
approved a plan for augmentation, under which the Story Well Nos. 1-3 will be augmented by theStory Ponds, and by releases from Wolford Mountain Reservoir and Ruedi Reservoir pursuaht toa contract with the Colorado River Water Conservation District for 0.3 acre-feet of annual
augmentation and exchange releases. An approved copy of the contract was included with thesubmittal package.
According to the decree in Case No. 03CW247,"Well permits issued pursuant to $37-90-137(2),10 C.R.S. (2003) and this plan for augmentation must be obtained prior to the
construction and/or operation of the Story Well Nos. 1 ,2 and 3 pursuant to this plan for
augmentation'..No such well permits shall be issued until the Story Pond Nos. 1 and/or 2 havebeen constructed and filled with adequate replacement water and written notice has beenprovided to the Division Engineer. Such notice shall include an as-built stage capacity table

Dear Mr. Whitehead,
I am responding as per our conversation earlier this month. As was said in regard to Water Court
Case No. 03CW247, per Story Wells #1,2, and 3, and the augmentation ofthis plan thereof, As I
stated to you this augmentation plan has not been implemented. The sole purpose of this water
decree is for the suMivision of our parcel of l8 acres into three separate portions. Our application
for suMMsioq preliminary plarl will go before Garfield County Planning and Zoning Committee
on May I l, 2005. When suMivision is approved, the augmentation plan will be implemented.
We are waiting for discovery from the planning department with regards to any other needs that
may arise in regards to our pond.
Please keep our well permits current, as they have been paid for and we are still in process, so to
speak. Please contact me ifyou require further clarification. Also, would you please confirm
receipt of this letter and notrfy Fred Jarman ofthe Garfield County Planning Department. Thank
you.
