William McDonald <br />Director <br />David W. Walker <br />Deputy Director <br /> <br />TO: Members, CWCB <br /> <br />FROM: Bill McDonald, Director <br /> <br />DATE: January 4, 1985 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Agenda Item 9a, January 14-15, 1985, Board Meeting <br />Ratify Statement of Opposition <br />Case No. 1-84CW308, parmalee and Charles H. Belvin <br /> <br />The applicant in this case seeks approval to operate a well <br />tributary to Fourmile Canyon Creek in north Boulder. The well . <br />will serve a private school with a projected enrollment, including <br />faculty, of 240 persons. The well capacity for which the State <br />Engineer has granted a permit is 50 gpm. In order to augment new <br />depletions to be caused by the well, the applicants will provide <br />augmentation water via storage and direct flow shares they own. <br />These shares have historically been taken at the headgate of the <br />Lower Boulder Ditch. That headgate is located on Boulder Creek, <br />just downstream of 95th Street. Augmentation will be accomplished <br />by foregoing diversions at that location. <br /> <br />The Water Conservation Board holds decrees for two instream <br />flow water rights which could be injured by this application. The <br />first was filed by the Board in 1973 for 15 cfs through a reach <br />extending from the outlet of the Public Service Co. hydropower <br />plant in Boulder Canyon to the 75th Street Bridge, a distance of <br />about 12 miles. The second Board instream flow right involved is <br />known as the Berkley instream flow right. This is a senior right <br />purchased with Wildlife funds and changed by decree of the Water <br />Court from irrigation to instream flow use (1-79CW308). This <br />right is for 1 cfs and carries an 1862 appropriation date. By <br />foregoing the historic diversion of this right at the Broadway <br />bridge on Boulder Creek, it is used to maintain instream flow down <br />to 75th Street, a distance of some 7 miles. <br /> <br />719 <br />parm/chls <br /> <br />. <br />
