GOT Is a private family farm located 14 miles south of Julesurg in Sedgewick County. GOT has
approximately 517 acres of irrigated fann ground. There are a tributary groundwater wells, which
were drilled in the late 1960's and early 1970's. The wells pump on average 1100 acre.feet
annually. The water Is typically used to irrigate com, alfalfa, beans and wheat. The a'wells are
cOrrently augmented under the Groundwater Approprtators of the South Platte (GASP) plan of
operation GOT Is completely dependent on their 8 wells, which have very junior water rights. GOT
has been using GASP to replace depletions from well pumping when there Is a senior water right
*call* on the river. GOT plans to construct a well to pump water into a recharge pond in the winter
months when there Is not a cali on the river. Water from the pond would have a delayed retum to
the river in summer months when GOT has depletions that need to be offset with augmentation
water. The well, drilled near the South Platte RIver, would pump up to a rate of 7.8 ds, producing
up to 3500 acre feet annually. They \YOuld pump to the recharge ponds through 15 * underground
piping. An additional well for augmentation would be drilled near the recharge pond, and the piping
used to return *stored* water to the river when necessary.
