The Stromberger Land and Cattle Company operates a family r~nch located 15 miles south of Sterling, Colorado.
The ranch currently operates 12 wells that are augmented under ~e Groundwater Appropriators ofthe South Platte
(GASP). GASP operates on a year-to-year basis with no guar~tee of continued coverage. The current drought
conditions have brought to the foreground the difficulty of pro~ding augmentation for well users. The
Stromberger's project will provide its own augmentation water t\J protect itself against possible curtailment by
GASP. Construction activities include drilling 6 wells to pump water to a series of constructed recharge ponds in
the winter months. The project has commenced construction arid is anticipated to be complete by the fall of 2003.
