RULE 2 PERMITS <br /> <br />South Taylor/Lower Wilson – Rule 2, Page 26 Revision Date: 11/1/21 <br /> Revision No.: TR-150 <br />TDS concentrations measured at USGS gaging stations in the in Good Spring, Taylor, Wilson, and Jubb <br />Creeks near Axial, Colorado in 1999 and 2000 ranged from 167 mg/L in Taylor Creek to 1,660 mg/L in <br />Jubb Creek (Table 2.04.7-32). Mean TDS concentrations range from 590 mg/L in upper Wilson Creek to <br />1089 mg/L in lower Good Springs Creek. The USGS has discontinued monitoring at most of these <br />stations. <br /> <br />Sufficient water rights to Good Spring Creek are held by Colowyo to allow them to avoid using the <br />volume of water that is diminished during and after mining. Colowyo is a large surface water right owner <br />in the Upper Yampa area (Water District 44) of Colorado Water Division 6. Included in these rights are <br />several diversions on Good Spring Creek controlled by Colowyo. The appropriation date on these <br />diversions owned by Colowyo are in the 1890’s, making them the most senior rights on Good Spring <br />Creek. Therefore, any reduction in base flow can be met by Colowyo not exercising their water rights on <br />Good Spring Creek in the amount of the reduction of the base flow, if it is found to be necessary. Please <br />see table below defining current water rights owned by Colowyo on Good Springs Creek. <br />Water Right Name Twshp Range Sect Q160 Q40 <br />Appropriation <br />Date <br />Rate <br />Amount <br />(CFS) <br />Volume <br />Amount <br />(ACFT) <br />ARTHUR COLLOM DITCH 4N 93W 23 SE NE 1885-05-10 0.1000 <br />ELK HORN DITCH 3N 93W 2 SE NW 1883-03-20 1.2300 <br />GOOD SPRING DITCH NO 1 3N 93W 2 SE SW 1885-05-20 0.5000 <br />GOOD SPRINGS DITCH NO 2 3N 93W 2 SE SW 1885-05-20 1.0000 <br />JOSEPH COLLOM DESERT <br />LAND DITCH 3N 93W 11 NE NW 1883-03-20 0.5000 <br />SPRING CREEK DITCH 2 4N 93W 26 NE NW 1887-06-30 0.5800 <br />SPRING CREEK DITCH 2 4N 93W 26 NE NW 1887-06-30 0.2900 <br />TAYLOR DITCH 3N 93W 2 NE NW 1879-05-01 1.6600 <br />WILSON RESERVOIR 4N 93W 13 SE SE 1975-09-16 349.6000 <br />COLOWYO TAYLOR PUMP NO. <br />1 4N 93W 27 NW SW 1980-12-31 1.11 <br />Surface Water Use – Surface water is used extensively in the broader stream valleys of the area. Surface <br />water consumption is predominantly associated with irrigation of agricultural lands. Surface water <br />withdrawals in the Lower Yampa River basin totaled 75.2 million gallons per day (mgd) in 1995 (USGS <br />1995). About 99 percent of the surface water withdrawals (75.1 mgd) were used for irrigation. The <br />irrigated acreage totaled 13,240 acres. Mining and livestock use account for the remaining surface water <br />withdrawals. <br /> <br />All of the major streams are over-appropriated, and therefore, many of the surface water rights are <br />inactive (CDM, 1985b). Large storage reservoirs are often constructed to capture spring runoff and <br />facilitate irrigation of fields in the summer months when natural flows are diminished. <br /> <br />Surface water adjudication rights within the South Taylor Permit Revision Area are summarized in Table <br />2.04.7-36, based on a CDWR water rights database (CDWR 2005). Most of the adjudications support <br />multiple uses. The adjudication does not necessarily reflect the amount of water available in any given <br />year for the intended uses, only a representation of legal claims to the water in a particular stream course. <br /> <br />Detailed Surface Water Resource Information <br /> <br />Surface Water Characteristics – The South Taylor/Lower Wilson permit revision area includes the <br />drainages of Good Spring, Wilson, Taylor, and Jubb Creeks. Colowyo’s existing mining operations exist <br />primarily in the Good Spring Creek drainage. Although Taylor Creek is a tributary to Wilson Creek, the <br />point of confluence is several miles downstream from the South Taylor/Lower Wilson permit revision
