Dear Barton,
On February 9, 1996, your well system was pumped for 24 hours
to determine the quantity of water that can presently be pumped
from your two existing wells and stored in your existing storage
tank.
The two wells involved are Sierra Pinyon Well No. 1 and Sierra
Pinyon Well No. 2.
Sierra Pinyon Well No. 1 is decreed in Case No. 95CW57 as
being in the NE'i NW1/2 of Section 22, Township 6 South, Range 92 West
of the 6th P.M., at a point 1202 feet from the North Section line
and 1563 feet from the West Section line of said Section 22.
Sierra Pinyon Well No. 2 is decreed in Case No. 95CW57 as
being in the NE; NW; of Section 22, Township 6 South, Range 92 West
of the 6th P.M., at a point 977 feet from the North section line
and 2503 feet from the West section line of said Section 22.
The storage tank is located in Section 22, Township 6 South,
Range 92 West of the 6th P.M., at a point approximately 200 feet
from the North section line and 2800 feet from the West section
line of said Section 22.
The storage tank is located approximately 200 feet in
elevation above Sierra Pinyon Well No. 2. The tank is 13 feet in
diameter and 33 feet tall with a maximum storage capacity of 32,747
gallons.
It is my understanding that the existing system consists of a
1/2 horsepower pump in Sierra Pinyon Well No. 1 and 11 horsepower
pump in Sierra Pinyon Well No. 2. The existing system will support
only minimal outside irrigation. I recommend that meters be
installed on all units.
Please let me know if I need to clarify any of the above
matters.
Sin rely,
Ray 'D. Walker P.E.

SEVENTH CLAIM
PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION
STRUCTURES TO BE AUGMENTED:
Sierra Pinyon Well Nos. 1 - 3.
Sierra Pinyon Ditch, Pump and Pipeline
Sierra Pinyon Pond Nos. 1 and 2.
USES TO BE AUGMENTED:
Applicant's engineer has determined that the annual depletions
as a result of the irrigation of 2.4 acres of home lawns and
gardens will total 4.152 acre feet based on a consumptive use
factor of 1.73 AF/A. The annual evaporation losses from April
through October on the surface of the ponds is calculated to be
2.54 ft per surface acre. The domestic consumptive use in eighteen
(18) single family residences is calculated to be 0.72 acre feet
per year based on an average occupancy of 3.5 persons per dwelling
utilizing 100 gallons per day per person and assuming 10%
consumptive use through individual septic tank and leach fields.
Livestock depletions are based on 10 gallons per day per head and
a 100% consumptive use factor.
It has been calculated that the depletions resulting from
Applicant's diversions will occur according to the following
schedule:

SOURCES OF AUGMENTATION WATER:
Applicant's engineer has determined that Applicant can be
expected to fill Sierra Pinyon Pond Nos. 1 and 2 each and every
year during the winter and spring run-off season when senior
priorities are not "calling" for water.
At such times as Applicant's diversions for the uses shown in
Table 1 above would be otherwise out -of -priority, Applicant will
cause to be released from Sierra Pinyon Pond Nos. 1 or 2 the
amounts of water as shown in Table 1 above.
5. The Referee, having examined the information submitted by the
Applicant, and having completed the investigations necessary to
make a determination in this matter, does therefore conclude that
the above entitled Amended Application should be granted and that
the above-described claims should be and hereby are approved as
requested; SUBJECT, HOWEVER, TO ALL EARLIER PRIORITY RIGHTS OF
OTHERS, and to the integration and tabulation by the Division
Engineer of such priorities and changes of rights in accordance
with law.
6. Application for a Finding of Reasonable Diligence shall be
filed in the same month as the decree herein is entered every six
years after the entry of the Decree herein so long as Applicant
desires to maintain the conditional water right herein awarded, or
until a determination has been made that such conditional right has
been made absolute by reason of the completion of the
appropriation, or is otherwise disposed of.
7. The Plan for Augmentation requested will not injuriously affect
the owner of or person entitled to use water under a vested water
right or a decreed conditional water right, and the Plan for
Augmentation is hereby granted and approved in accordance with
C.R.S. 1973, 37-92-305(3) and subject to the Court's retained
jurisdiction.
8. Applicant shall install such measuring devices as deemed
necessary by the Division Engineer to administer this plan.
9. Once Sierra Pinyon Pond Nos. 1 and 2 are constructed, fully
operational, and capable of providing the augmentation water
described in this Ruling, the.State Engineer shall issue well
permits for Sierra Pinyon Well os. 1, 2 and 3 as described above
and subject to the provisions of this Ruling.
10. Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-305(8), The State Engineer and the
Division Engineer may lawfully be required under the terms of this
Ruling to curtail out -of -priority diversions from Applicant's wells
and ponds at any time when the consumptive use associated with
Applicant's diversions exceed the net amount of replacement water
available under this Plan for Augmentation.

It is accordingly ORDERED that this Ruling shall be filed with
