Simpson, P.E. <br />Stale Engineer <br />I have reviewed the INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM by Kathleen Sullivan dated <br />October 22, 2003. In that memorandum, Ms. Sullivan raises the issue of the <br />discrepancy between the area of the exposed water surface that was calculated in our <br />office, based on aerial photographs, and the maximum area of water surface according <br />to the pre-1989 augmentation agreement between Mr. And Mrs. Nelson and St. Vrain & <br />Left Hand Water Conservancy District. Ms. Sullivan has stated that this discrepancy <br />needs to be reconciled before we can agree to the acreage release request. In addition, <br />Ms. Sullivan has noted that a gravel pit well permit application must be obtained. <br />I have reviewed the November 3, 2003 response letter from Cheryl Signs. After an <br />additional a-mail response from Kathleen Sullivan, Ms. Signs forwarded additional <br />information. Based on Ms. Signs detailed analysis of the exposed area, it does not <br />exceed 80 acres. Therefore, the area is consistent with the above-mentioned <br />agreement. <br />In addition, Ms. Signs has resubmitted the well permit application for the site; its <br />approval is pending. Therefore, the conditions set forth in the memorandum from <br />Kathleen Sullivan have been met and we now agree to the acreage release. <br />
