Simp.oa <br />ExccutivoDirectot <br /> <br />Mr. Bob Raynolds <br />Denver Museum of Natural History <br />2001 Colorado Blvd <br />Denver, CO 80205 <br /> <br />Re: Support of Proposed Study of the Denver' <br />Basin <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Raynolds: <br /> <br />The Colorado Groundwater Commission has reviewed the proposal fot - the study of the ' <br />Denver Basin. They are particularly interested in the research which would focus on the Denver <br />Basin bedrock aquifers in the eastern portion of the baSin. Up till now most of the information <br />concerning the aquifers has been obtained on the western sIde of the basin where the sediments are, <br />more coarse-grainecI. Obtaining information further east would allow for determination of the <br />amount of water in storage in those aquifers with, much more certainty. This would be information <br />which cOuld help considerably in the administration of the aquifers. <br /> <br />...... <br /> <br />It is the understanding of the Commission that the core hole is to be initially constructed as <br />a monitoring hole and that there are ongoing discussions both with the Town of Kiowa and Elbert <br />County as to the possibility of using the core hole as a pilot hole fora water well. ,It is also the <br />Commissions understanding that if the hole is to ultimately be used as a water well, a permit will <br />, be obtained and the construction will be in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations of <br />the Colorado Ground Water Commission and state statutes. Should this not happen, the hole will <br />be properly abandoned. <br /> <br />Therefore, the Commission wishes to express its support of the proposal. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~~4!r <br />Hal D.
