BED/JTS/jmg Enclosures cc: Division a 4571 L.pts/Form #0580(R) Sincerely, Bruce E. DeBrine Supervising Professional Engineer FINDINGS OF THE STATE ENGINEER IN THE MATTER OF APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS TO CONSTRUCT WELLS IN WATER DIVISION NO, 5, GARFIELD COUNTY, COLORADO APPLICANT: RIFLE SKI CORPORATION FILE NOS.: AD- 1 3,24g THROUGH AD- o L{ In compliance with C.R.S. 37-90-137(1), Rifle Ski Corporation, .c/o Bob Regulski, P.O. Box 1368, Glenwood Springs, CO 81602, (hereinafter "applicant"), submitted two applications for permits to construct wells. Based on information provided by the applicant and records of the Division of Water Resources, the State Engineer finds as follows: 1. The applications were received complete by the State Engineer on January 10, 1994, 2. The proposed well locations, maximum pumping rates, average annual amounts of ground water to be appropriated, and total depths are as follows: OWNER'S WELL LOCATIONS PUMPING ANNUAL TOTAL WELL GARFIELD COUNTY 6TH P.M. FATE APPROPRIATION DEPTH DESIGNATION 1/4 1/4 SEC. TWP. RNG. (GPM) (A/F) (FEET) #1 SE NE 11 6S 93W 20 112 200 #2 SE NE 11 68 93W 20 112 200 3. The proposed locations are outside the boundaries of a designated ground water basin. 4. The applicant proposes to apply the water diverted from the wells to the following beneficial uses: irrigation and commercial. 5. At the proposed depths, using perforated casing in the intervals indicated in the applications, ground water diverted by the wells would be hydraulically connected to the Colorado River. Diversion of ground water by the wells will influence the rate or direction of movement of water in this natural river and its alluvium. 6. The Colorado River is overappropriated. At some or all times of the year, the water supplies of said stream system is insufficient to satisfy all the decreed water rights senior to an appropriation by the applicant. 7. The proposed diversions from the subject wells would cause depletion to the Colorado River at times when this river is overappropriated. 8. Records show that there are senior vested water rights withdrawing ground water from the alluvium of the Colorado River. Use of the applicant's proposed wells would decrease the amount of ground water in the alluvium of said river. 9. No plan for augmentation to remedy the injury to vested water rights has been approved by the Division 5 Water Court. " ' Applicant: Rifle Ski Corporation Page 2 File Nos.: AD- t a Lie through AD- o[ 4 9 10. The proposed use of the wells is not exempt under C.R.S. 37-92-602 and so the applications are evaluated under C.R.S. 37-90-137. 11. A preliminary review of our records indicates that a well constructed under permit no. 170888 and other possible wells are located within 600 feet of applicant's proposed wells. Based on the above, the State Engineer is unable to find that unappropriated water is available for withdrawal by the proposed wells and that the vested water rights of other appropriators will not be materially injured. The applications are therefore denied. Dated this Prepared by: JTS day of 4570F. jts/0536(A). mrg i7'1 ata_ h z Hal D. Simpson State Engineer 94. By: 1 Bruce E.

Structures to be augmented: Regulski Well No. 1 and Regulski Well No. 2 D. Water right to be used far augmentation: Lower Cactus Valley Ditch. The headgate of said ditch is situate on the northerly bank of the Grand River at a point whence the 1/4 corner between Sections 5 and 6, Township 6 South, Range..: 91 'West bears 47' degrees West 3370 feet and being in Lot 7, Section 5 in said Township. 94CW3 Page 2 300K0908 Pt,ci 146 On April 19, 1897, in Civil Action No. , the Garfield County District Court awarded the Lower Cactus Valley Ditch Priority No. 142E for 50 cubic feet of water per second of time for irrigation purposes with an appropriation date of September 24, 1888. C. Statement_of__Flan for Augmentation: Regulski Well Nos. 1 and 2 will be utilized for commercial purposes (washing vehicles) continuously for twelve (12) hours each day for 250 working days per year. In,addition, the wells will each be utilized for the irrigation of one-half acre of landscaping. Total annual diversions will total 11.046 acre feet from each well. The effluent from the commercial use will be discharged into a septic tank and leechfield disposal system which will consume. ten percent (10%). The total of one acre of landscaping will consume 1.73 acre feet of water as determined by Blaney Criddle Analysis and according to the following schedule: Month Acre Feet Consumptive Use April 0.12 May 0.22 ,Tune 0,32 July ' 0.45 August 0.35 September 0.21 October 0.06 Total 1.73 A.F. • Since there is not anon -irrigation season "call,' on the Colorado River, it is not necessary to augment the commercial use during the non -irrigation season of November through March. Commercial use that occurs during the working days from April 1 to October 31 (105 days) will result in 9.28 acre feet of diversions and .928 acre feet of depletions (consumptive use). Applicant proposes to remove from irrigation the following described 4.547 acres historically irrigated with applicant's 3.6 shares of the Grand River Ditch Company (Said company owns and operates the decreed water rights of the Lower Cactus Valley Ditch described above.): Starting at a point 1018.46 feet west of the•E 1/4 corner of Section 11, T. 6 S., R. 93 W. of the 6th P.M. 94CW3 Page 3 1 s• ' ence Thence N. 00 Thence N. 89 Thence S. 00 Thence S. 63 301.b4 to t 10' 58" W. 400 feet 0i f1Op �ry 39' 46" E. 675 feet BOOMi O,'��fs f 16' 58" E. 165 feet 01' 54" W. 420 feet to starting point. The 4.547 acres have been historically irrigated from April 1 to October 31 of each year with 3.6 shares of Grand River Ditch Company water from the Lower Cactus Valley Ditch. According to water commissioner records, said 50 c.f.s. has historically irrigated 1500 acres. The Grand River Ditch Company has a total of 270 shares. . The removal from irrigation of 4.547 acres under the Lower cactus Valley Ditch will result in a consumptive use credit of 7.87 acre feet of water during the irrigation season according to the following schedule and depletions created by the operation of the wells will be as follows: . Month Acre feet Irrigation Commercial Total C. u. Depletions Depletions Depletions 4.547 Apres : 10% C.U.

Therefore, there is an annual consumptive use credit of 0.808 AF from the additional 0.467 acres removed from irrigation by this plan and not needed at this time to augment the subject wells. The Referee does therefore conclude that the above entitled Application should be granted and that 0.044 cubic foot of water per second of time with appropriation date of November 4, 1993, are hereby awarded conditionally to each of Regulski Well Nos. 1 and 2 for those purposes specified in paragraphs 3 E. and 4 E. above , provided always that each of said 0.044 c.f.s. is on the condition that said quantities of water be diverted and applied to beneficial' use within a reasonable time; 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. 94CW3 Page 4 Bo r.r 1 Application for a Finding of Reasona' " D • iligence shall' eQ . filed in the same onth as the decree hereil. is entered every six _..years after the entry of the decree herein so long as applicant _ desires to maintain the conditional water rights herein awarded, or until a determination has been made that such conditional rights are made absolute by .reason of the completion of the appropriations, or are otherwise disposed of. The Plan for Augmentation described above will not injuriously affect the owners of or persons entitled to use water under a vested water right or a decreed conditional water right, and the Plan for Augmentation should be and hereby is approved in accordance with C.R.S. 1973, 37-92-305(3), subject to the following provisions: 1. The Office of the Colorado State Engineer shall issue well permits for Regulski Well Nos. 1 and 2, pursuant to this Ruling, but subject to C.R.$ 37-90-137(2). 2. The requestedplan for augmentation shall be subject to all provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Grand River Ditch Company as they presently exist or may hereinafter be amended according to Law. 3. Applicant agrees to continue paying 'assessments upon his shares of stock in the Grand River Ditch Company as from time to time may be levied by the Board of Directors upon all of said stock of which Applicant is of like class and shall, otherwise comply with all other lawful obligations of the shareholders of the Grand River Ditch Company. 4. Based on previous Court cases in said ditch, 2.8 % of applicant's water shall remain in the Lower Cactus Valley Ditch to defray historic conveyance and seepage loss attributable to applicant's interest in said ditch. The amount of water historically utilized to irrigate the 4.547 acres ,shall be bypassed or .diverted and returned to the Colorado River at the discretion of the Division Engineer. The balance of water not accounted for or devoted to this plan for augmentation may continue to be diverted into the Lower Cactus Valley Ditch until subsequent judicial proceedings direct otherwise. It is accordingly ORDERED that this Ruling shall be filed with the Water Clerk subject to audicial review. It is further ORDERED that a copy of this Ruling shall be filed with the appropriate Division Engineer and the State Engineer. 94CW3 Page 5 . •x 1 Dated ...),..Ltiwoore.golnAgTedtoall ter Re eree r --_ Water Division No. 5 4Jif 010.14 $ State of Colorado BY T Bro(0908=v[149• No protest was filed in this matter.
