Preisser <br /> <br />Project Sponsor <br /> <br />The sponsor of this project is Rodney J. Preisser, a private individual and fee owner of land and <br /> <br /> <br />water rights used for agricultural and commercial purposes in Lincoln County, Colorado, located <br /> <br /> <br />in the Horse Creek drainage basin. <br /> <br />Project Area <br /> <br />The area encompassed by the project consists of lands within the Horse Creek basin, located in <br />Water District 17 in southeastern Colorado. Horse Creek basin includes portions of EI Paso, <br />Elbert, Crowley, and Lincoln Counties. The service area is primarily agricultural, although one <br />use of water in the project will be commercial hog raising on the Preisser property. <br /> <br />The augmentation plan that is the subject of this project does not specifically include intervening <br />lands between Box Springs Canal and the Preisser property approximately 25 miles upstream on <br />Little Horse Creek. Although those intervening lands between Box Springs and Preisser are not <br />specifically included in the project because they are not owned or served by the project sponsor, <br />water users in that intervening reach of the Horse Creek Basin stand to benefit due to protection <br />against potential water rights calls by downstream senior rights as a result of this augmentation <br />plan. <br /> <br />A map of the project area, consisting of the Horse Creek Basin, is presented as Figure I. A detail <br /> <br />map of the Preisser property and wells is presented as Figure 2. <br /> <br />HRS WATER CONSULTANTS. INC. <br /> <br />page I <br />
