Water District 23, Water Division 1 Dear Mr. Montgomery: OF' Cow 1E 4 ,-cam .~.'~ . Roy Romer Governor lames S. Lachhead Exetu4se Director Elal D. Simpson State Engineer We have completed our review of your request for renewal of a temporary alternate point of diversion for mining operations located in Pazk County. This temporary change is for the Poomlan's Ditch water right, the source of which is Beaver Creek, for 10 cfs, with an appropriation date of 12-31-1867. The decreed point of diversion is on the west bank of Beaver Creek, neaz the NE Comer of the SE1/4 of Section 17, Township 9 South, Range 77 West. The proposed alternate point of diversion is located on the Middle Fork of the South Platte River where the river crosses the boundary between Sections 19 and 30, in Township 9, Range 77 West. This change is being explored since Poorman's Ditch is a long ditch and in need of repairs and Mr. Zigan's other water rights also used for the mining operations, aze junior and sometimes out of priority. Also, the Town of Fairplay has decided on a system of wells for their municipal supply and would therefore, no longer be an intervening water right that could be impacted by this proposed change. The Water Commissioner for District 23, Ms. Denise Paprocki, is familiaz with the proposed plan and reach. Tn addition, an application for approval of an alternate point of diversion for the Poorman Ditch water right was 51ed on August 8, 1995, with the Division 1 Water Court. This case, 95CW170, is pending. This substitute water supply plan is hereby approved pursuant to Section 37-80-120, C.R.S. (1993) subject to the following conditions: All conditions listed in the substitute water supply plan approved by this office on May 5, 1995, remain in effect except as modified below. A copy of this letter is attached for your reference. 2. This substitute water supply plan shall be administered by Ms. Denise Paprocki, P.O. Box 182, Fairplay, CO 80440, telephone # 719-836-2557. Denise shall be contacted 48 hours PRIOR to the exchange taking place. Ms. Paprocki shall determine if exchange potential exists and her determination is final. ~ III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ~
