<br />m <br /> <br />029~ <br /> <br />Uoyd J. Gronning, P.E. <br />President <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />STILLWATER RESOURCES INDIAN MOUNTAIN RANCH WATER RIGHTS ANALYSIS u directed analyses of <br />potential water rights yields frorn a water rights transfer decree from the Tar.ryall Creek Basin in Park <br />County, Colorado. <br /> <br />BURUNGTON/WELUNGTON TRANSFER -- Directed engineering studies for the development of a transfer <br />of water rights in the Burlingron Ditch Company and Wellingron Reservoir Company for the City of <br />Thornton. Work to date has consisted of development of engineering studies and assisrance with application <br />in the water court. The transfer of this case is pending. <br /> <br />SIERRA CLUB VS. BLOCK u Assisted the Mountain States Legall'oundation who intervened aligned with the <br />defendant, Secretary of Agriculture, Block, regarding the development of water supplies in wilderness areas. <br />Analyzed the potential for water supply development in each of the existing or proposed wilderness areas <br />within the State of Colorado and made recornmendations to the Mountain States Legal Foundation as to the <br />impacts of the Sierra Club's law suit on potential water development plans. <br /> <br />WILLIAMS FORK WATER RiGHTS -. Developed an acquisition analysis of water rights of Lewis Ranch, <br />Skylark Ranch and Sylvan Reservoir for the exchan~e of the water rights with the Denver Water Board for <br />water commitments to a subutban Water provider. Work conSISted of analysis of the water rights, <br />development of the water supply exchange with the Warer Board and presentation of the plan to suburban <br />water interests and the Denver Water Board. <br /> <br />BLUE RIVER WATER RIGHTS -- Directed warer eight studies to analyze the yield of the Spring Creek Ranch, <br />Eagie Pass <l.anch, and Hoagland R.,ervoir within the Blue River Basin of Colorado. Negoriared terms and <br />conditions to protect the potenri'l.l transfer of these water rights to future municipal uses. <br /> <br />SOUTH PARK WATER RIG'1TS TRANSFER.- Direcred the engineering analysis and water court preparation <br />for two separate ranches in South Park, Colorado fer the City of Aurora. <br /> <br />GOLF COURSE WATER SUPPLY ALTERNATIVE STUDY u A water supply alternative study was developed <br />for an 18.hole golf course. Water supply altornatives \nvestigated included nontributary groundwater <br />development, alluvial groundwater development, irrigation water use and use of municipal water supplies. <br />This assisted the developers of the golf course in obtaining a right to use irrigation water righrs for the <br />development and irrigation of the golf course properties. <br /> <br />Groundwater <br /> <br />LA PAZ eOUN1Y, ARIZONA u directed the quantification of in-place and physically recoverable ground-water <br />resources in the northern half of the Ranegrass Plain, a large structural basin in southwestern Arizona. <br />Quantifications were derived frorn a mathematical ground-water model developed by GEe. Based on results <br />of computer modeling, the client was advised that in-place and phYSIcally recoverable ground-water <br />resources in the basin were less than originally forecasted by other engineers. Due to GEe's <br />tecommendations, the client decided against investing in a major ground.water development project in the <br />basin, which proved to be a long-range financial advantage. <br /> <br />REGIONAL GROUNDWATER APPRAISAL -. Directed the development of a regional nonaibutary groundwater <br />appraisal for the Metropolitan Water Providers. This work consisted of an analysis of the probable effects <br />of development of a rnajor nonrributary water development scenario on existing wells of the Denver <br />Metropolitan suburban water interests. <br />
