District's regulations and control. To date the Lost Creek District has not

adopted rules and regulations for the use and control of groundwater within the

I

District. Therefore, all ground~vater use, appropriations, and ';-Te1l permits
are controlled in accordance with State Law SB-2l3 and policy guidelines of

I

the Colorado Groundwater Commission. Annual appropriations and well permits

I

are issued based on 1/100 of the estimated life of the acquifer. Well permits

are limited to 1/2 mile spacing between wells into the same acquifer unless

I

closer spacing is specifically recommended by the staff following geological

and hydrological investigation.

I

Of the six existing municipal wells, only the last three (Wells No.4, 5

and 6) have been properly registered with the State Engineer's office and a permit

I

with the annual appropriation issued. The wells with pertinent permit infor-

I

mation are listed below:

I

Well Maximum

6 Ol7071-F Har. 29, 1973 ,200 gpm 100 A-F
Action should be started by the Town to register Wells No. 1, 2 and 3 and re-

I

I

ceive an annual appropriation on these wells from the State Engineer's office.

I

This action is deemed advisable to establish the Town's rights to the water from

these wells and the option of abandoning and redril1ing these wells at a later

I

date.
