SLCC has approximately .1923 acres of sprinkler irrigated farm ground. The ground is <br />irrigated with 12 tributary groundwater wells, which were drilled in the late 1960's and early 1970's. <br />The wells pump on average 5000 acre-feet annually. The water is typically used to irrigate corn, <br />alfalfa, beans and wheat. The 12 wells are currently augmented under the Groundwater <br />Appropriators of the South Platte (GASP plan of operation. SLCC is completely dependent on their <br />12 wells, which have very junior water rights. SLCChas been using GASP to replace depletions <br />from well pumping when there is a senior water right "call" on the river. SLCC plans to construct 6 <br />wells to pump water into a series of recharge ponds in the winter months when there is not a call on <br />the river. Waterfrom the ponds would have a delayed return to the river in summer months when <br />SlCC has depletions that need to be offset with augmentation water. The wells, dritled near the <br />South Platte River, would pump up to a combined rate of 35 cfs producing up to 6500 acre feet <br />annually, They would pump to the recharge ponds through 18 to 21" underground piping. A <br />single well drilled away from the river would also be constructed for augmentation, and use the. <br />piping to return "stored" water to the river when necessary. <br /> <br /> <br />Location Map <br /> <br />Page 5 of 5 <br />
