Both have complained about declining <br />water levels in them' hoaxer wells this summer and both were present during the interview with <br />Ma. Wolfe. The Divi~'on has visited Mr. Andrew's well in the pact and the report is in file <br />M~-77-081. Ms. Wolfe~~started contacting the OSE in April of this year. <br />The Division visited s. Wolfe on 6/26/95 and measured the static water level and total depth <br />of her well using a S linet wz:ter level indicator. An inspection was then conducted at the <br />B~ucklen Equipment Co. Pit. Water and pit depths were measured in the southern perimeters of <br />the pits using an Ab,ey level. <br />Ms. wolfe's well: Waxer level = 20.7' below ground level (bgl); Total Depth = 24.2' (bgl). <br />Ms. Wolfe said she hale been at this residence since 1992 and has no well records. She stated <br />that the well may hav,~ been installed in the 1960'e and that the well casing was replaced in <br />1992, at which time the water Level was a few feet below ground level. This well ie situated <br />in the unconfined alluvial aquifer being dewatered by the nearby sand and gravel pit e. The <br />wells and the pits a~ located in the Cache La Poudre River alluvial plain. Me. Wolfe uses <br />her well to water'he lawn and garden twice each week. She reported that the well began <br />pumping air about two weeks p:cior to the inspection. <br />Buckles Equipmeat Co ., Pit <br />Operating Pit: The ay~tive pit located in the SW 1/4 of Sec. 31, 6N, R65W, ie approximately <br />800 feet northeast o Ma. Wolfe's well. The operation was inspected with the operator <br />representative, Mr. Make eucklen, who was informed of Ma. Wolfe's complaint. The pit has <br />been continuously de atered since the late 1970'e. The pump is located near the northern <br />extent of the p.}t, ~~out 1500 feet northeast of Ma. Wolfe's well. The pumping rate was <br />estimated during as inspection last year in excess of 1,500 gpm. Mining has been completed <br />ip most of this pit e~CCept for the northwest corner. <br />The depth to the bottom of the pit was measured at 29.8' bgl; measured in the southwestern <br />corner of the pit. 7~here was a foot or two of water in the bottom of that portion of the <br />pit. <br />Water Filled Pit; A p,~'~e-law pit, located 700'west of the active pit in NE1/4,SE1/4, Sec. 36, <br />T6N, R66W, ie filled with water and has not been dewatered for a number of years. Last year, <br />the operator said tha~7 the water level had dropped in this pond about 4 to 5 feet during the <br />previous two years. ~~'he pond is located about 1,000' north of Ms. Wolfe's well. <br />wells: The operator <br />active pit being der <br />This well was dry. <br />available for water <br />There ie currently <br />NAME Rich <br />OPERATOR Buck <br />STREET 804 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP <br />two wells in the SW1/4,SW 1/4 sec. 31, about 100' south of the <br />The total depth of the shallow well was measured at 23.4' bgl. <br />'r well was drilled about 50' to the west, however, access was not <br />measurements. <br />monitoring plan at the Bucklen Pit ( see PB-1). <br />cc: Carl Mount,DMG <br />Chris Kamnikar, DMG <br />Me.
