Questions: <br />Bert Weaver: To what extent will this info be applicable state- <br />wide; any chance for applying for any state-wide money. <br />Ralf Anv of these would be available to anv end-user. <br />Bill Jerke: What are demarcation lines for upper and lower and <br />what would be considered tributaiv? <br />John: 176 is more or less the line, <br />Bill: Tributarv further north? <br />Mike: Roughly 4 miles south of the River. <br />Patron question: after recharge of the aquifer, any concept of <br />recovery? Is this part of the study? Any containment system <br />..slurrv iyalls? <br />Ralf: Implementation of the project is not part of the study but <br />we will have an idea of well use for extraction. Only looking at <br />capacity of recharge. Not looking at any mechanism to achieve <br />this. <br />Webb Jones: What is the water rights aspect of a potential water <br />storage project? <br />Ralf Water rights issue is not clear. Designated basin allows <br />much more structure. One avenue is through a replacement plan. <br />But correct that if we raise the water level, will increase well <br />yield. But this is next phase. At this point, we do not know <br />enough about the project. <br />Bob Streeter: If this project is funded and successftil, what steps <br />would have to be taken, trying to figure out how this project <br />would fit into the actualized project. <br />Ralf. Will depend on identifying possible infrastructure. Bigger <br />picture: report was submitted to DNR that came out of a <br />groundwater conference in 2007. Laying the framework now. <br />Cherokee Metropolitan Basin and Black Squirrel is in the <br />process of a project right now. Too early to know what Lost <br />Creek would look like. <br />Jim Yahn: Is there anv danger of gathering this info and then it <br />being used against you that this is tributary to the South Platte? <br />Ralf: Yes, this could happen. End users could use the info to any <br />manner they want. This seems that per statute this is <br />nontributarV. <br />Jim Yahn: Has this gone in front of Metro? <br />Ralf. Tomorrow. <br />Mike Shimmin: Study period historically? <br />Ralf. In Upper Black Squirrel went back to 1969, it will depend <br />on what the water data is. <br />Mike Shimmin: 10 years ago, a client in upper base, they were <br />water logging. Important that you look at a long enough period <br />so that you see variations. <br />Ralf. Hope is that we refine results of SB 193 to see how accurate <br />then were in their assessment. <br />Jim Yahn: Request for basin account money in amount of <br />$80,000. <br />Bill Jerke: Move to approve the $80,000 but that the money is <br />allocated to study the Upper Lost Creek Basin because this is far <br />13
