We discussed the historic use of Well No. 2, Case No. W- <br /> 953. Permit No. 5312-F. Well No. 5312-F was the main water supply for the sawmill operation located <br /> within the SW'/. Section 29, T33N, R9E, NMPM and very near Antonito. You have tried to gather as <br /> much historical use information about the well as possible. <br /> The sawmill was in operation from approximately 1961 through 1974. Well permit no. 5312-F was issued <br /> on March 24, 1964. The well was completed to a depth of 150 feet on April 16, 1964. The well was <br /> adjudicated for 100 gpm for commercial use on November 20, 1975 <br /> My position in this matter is that the historic use of well no. 5312-F averaged 9.0 acre-feet/year for the <br /> period 1964-2012- The estimated maximum annual withdrawal was 37.0 acre-feet during the high <br /> production years of 1964-1974. Therefore, so long as these volumetric limitations are not exceeded <br /> and the well is used consistent with the decree, I will not appose the use of the well to supply water for <br /> the proposed gravel pit 1 batch plant within the NE'/.of Section 31, TWIN, R9E, NMPM. The average <br /> annual use must not exceed 9.0 acre-feet in any five consecutive year period as detailed in State <br /> Ergineer Policy 2013-01. The maximum withdrawai cannot exceed 37.0 acre-feet in any calendar year <br /> Production from the well must be metered in accordance with the well measurement rules set forth in <br /> Case No. 05CW12. <br /> If you have any questions regarding my position, please contact me by telephone at(719) 589-6683 or <br /> by e-mail at craig.cotten@state.cc).us. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Craig W Cotten, P E <br /> Division Engineer <br /> Division, 3 <br /> 44 Summit Engineering Job :Number: 240328CE 28 <br /> 719-589-6147 <br /> Alamosa, CO <br />
