Information available to this office has shown that the well may be located less than 600 feet from existing wells. Pursuant to 37-90-137(2), C.R.S., the requested permit cannot be issued by the State Engineer unless the State Engineer finds, after a hearing, that circumstances in this particular instance so warrant. That statute also provides that if the State Engineer notifies the owners of all welts within 600 feet of the proposed well by certified mail and receives no response within the time set forth in the notice, no hearing shalt be required. The persons listed above have been identified as the owners of existing wells located within 600 feet or appears to be located within 600 feet of the proposed well. Notice of the application for the proposed well is hereby provided pursuant to 37-90-137(2)(b)(11)(A), C.R.S., and a copy of the permit application is attached as Exhibit A. Anyone objecting to the issuing of a permit for the proposed well must submit a written response to this notice not later than 5:00 p.m. on May 21, 2018. Such response should contain a brief and plain statement of the reasons why the State Engineer should not grant a permit for the proposed well. If responding, please direct correspondence to loana Comaniciu and reference the above receipt number. A copy of the response should be provided to the applicant. The Division of Water Resources is sending this notice because it is required by state statute. The Division of Water Resources is not sending this notice due to a perceived potential for injury or effect on your well that would result from the issuance of the proposed well permit and the well's construction. If you object to the issuance of a permit in this application, you must formally participate in a hearing before the Hearing Officer for the State Engineer. In such a hearing, the Hearing Officer makes his decision based only on the evidence formally presented to him before and during the proceeding. Therefore, to participate in the hearing, you must formally file documents, exhibits and you must testify before the Hearing Officer. If you do not wish to participate in a hearing that might result in this matter, or have previously signed a 600-foot well spacing waiver statement, no response is needed.
