REF: AGRICULTURAL EMERGENCY DROUGHT GRANT APPLICATION FOR 2005
Dear Mike:
This letter and the enclosed information is in support of the Lower Logan Well Users, Inc.
(LLWU) request for funding for year 2005 through Colorado's Agricultural Emergency Drought
Response Grant. LLWU has previously received funding from this Grant for year 2003 and 2004.
LLWLT was formed Apri122, 2003 as an organization of agricultural well users and one municipal
well (Town of Iliffl to allow its members to continue to use their wells in Logan County (139 wells
total) by complying with Colorado state laws and regulations. LLWU is incorporated under the
Colorado Revised Nonprofit Corporation Act as evidenced by receipt from the Colorado $ecretary
of State dated Apri123, 2003. LLWU has received from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service
recognition of tax-exempt status under Section 501(a) as a 501(c)(12) irrigation or like �
organization and that notice is attached.
The specific purpose of LLWU is the development, adjudication and continued operation of a plan
of augmentation for its member wells. Member wells are monitored, depletions to the river are
computed and assessments levied. These assessments are utilized to lease replacement water
supplies and pay the attorney and engineering costs associated with obtaining our Augmentation
Plan Case No. 03CW208.
A seven person Board of Directors governs LLWU. The current Board Members are as follows:
Brad Stromberger, President
Darrin Manuello, Vice President
Don Stieb, Secretary/Treasurer
Frank Jaeger
Coy Marrick
Leo Stieb, Jr.
Andy Veeman
For 2005, LLWU operated initially under a Colorado State Engineer approved Substitute Water
Supply Plan and then under the Court signed Augmentation Plan. LLWU fully augmented the out-
of-priority depletions to the river as required by the State and Division Engineer. The replacement
supplies consisted of leasing Prewitt Reservoir water, recharge accretion credits and augmentation
well credits from LLWU members.
