Applicant: William A. Rodman 'Permit no.: _ 10 $94) -F Page 2 12. Well Permit No. 3597 -F -R, issued on November 16, 1993, was constructed on December 10, 1993, as a replacement to Well Permit No. 3597 -F -R (issued June 24, 1975). The well was constructed to a depth of 36 feet, and was perforated in the interval between 19 feet and 36 feet below ground surface. In a pump test conducted on December 13, 1993, this well produced 35 gpm. 13. A field inspection conducted on April •6, 2000, by Division of Water Resources personnel found that the well permitted on November 16, 1993, under Well Permit No. 3597 -F -R had continued to be used per its decree. The Feld Inspection Report stated, "This well has lost production and lost its irrigation capabilities, hence a redrill is needed. The well is in the [Cache laj Poudre Augmentation Plan." 14. Well Permit No. 3597 -F -R was issued on August 16, 2000, for the replacement of the well permitted on November 16, 1993, under Well Permit No. 3597 -F -R The well was constructed on October 4, 2000, to a depth of 33 feet, and was perforated in the interval between 13 feet and 33 feet below ground surface. Construction and maintenance of this well is subject to Board of Examiners Variance No. 2000 -148A was issued on October 12, 2000, as a follow -up to a verbal variance approval granted on October 4, 2000. In a pump test conducted on November 10, 2000, this well produced 25 gpm. 15. At the well's depth of 33 feet, ground water diverted by the subject well would be hydraulically connected to the Cache la Poudre River, which is tributary to the South Platte River System. Diversion of ground water from the well would influence the rate or direction of movement of water in those natural streams or alluviums. 16. The Cache Ia Poudre River and the South Platte River System are overappropriated. At some or all times of the year, the water supplies for said stream systems are insufficient to satisfy all of the decreed water rights senior to an appropriation by the applicant. 17. The proposed diversion from the subject well would cause depletion to the Cache la Poudre River and the South Platte River System at times when these streams are overappropriated. 18. Well Permit No. 3597 -F R, permitted on November 16, 1993, is and the proposed supplemental well will be included in the Cache la Poudre Augmentation Association Plan, decreed by the Division 1 Water Court on February 10, 1976, in Case No. W- 7921(75) for a combined maximum annual appropriation of 15 acre -feet. Operation of these wells and this augmentation plan pursuant to the decree will remedy potential injury to senior water rights. 19. The location of the proposed well is more than 600 feet from any existing well completed in the sarne aquifer that is not owned by the applicant. Based on the above, the State Engineer finds that there Is water available for withdrawal by the proposed well and no material injury to vested water rights would result from the issuance of the requested permit subject to the following conditions: a. The use of this well as a supplemental point of diversion to an existing well is a change in water right. This well shall be junior to all vested water rights until such time as the change in water right has been approved by the Division 1 Water Court and the well then must be operated pursuant to the conditions of that decree.
