.~ ~. ~ ~ ~~: IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <br />Leonard Rice Consulting Water Eryineers, Inc. He°;,aFRe;s„no <br />(303) 455-9589 / 2785 North Sneer Boulevard / Denver, Colorado 80211 <br />OFFICES IN <br />February 13, 1976 Denver and <br />Granhy, Colorado <br />P1r. Jack Haines <br />9419 Newton <br />iVestminster, Colorado. <br />Dear tQr. Haines: <br />In accordance with our ac •ement we submit this report of <br />the results of our investigation into the water plans <br />related to tt>e Kilgroe-Atchison Construction and Paving <br />Company's gravel mine near Henderson. <br />AREA WATER PESOURCES <br />The mining site as shown in Figure 1 is located partly in <br />ara adjacent to the floodplain of the South Platte River <br />in Section 26, T.I.S., R.67.W. in Adams County, Colorado. <br />In this area the South Platte River is a sand bedded channel <br />meandering within an alluvial floodplain approximately 2 <br />miles wide. The alluvium contains s1.311oca gr.,und water that <br />is hydraulically connected to the surface stream system. <br />Flow in the South Platte River ~s derived from snow melt ire <br />the high mountains augmented by West 51opc• Ovate- imported <br />for municipal use in the Denver Metropolitan area. Prior <br />to development of irrigated farming in the South Platte <br />River Basin, the lower reaches of the river were dry for <br />vazious periods of time. The appropriation of water for <br />irrigation, a portion of which returns to the stream system, <br />and the importation of water from Western Colorado leave <br />resulted in a more stable base flow during periods of low <br />flow. In recent years, especially since low cost electric <br />power has become widely available, there has been a sharp <br />rise in the number of pumped'well.s uses for irrigation at~d <br />other purposes. These wells tend to lower the shallow <br />ground water table during the irrigation season and provide <br />ground water storage which can be recharged during the spring <br />runoff period. <br />Ground water in the area is available from the alluvium at <br />shallow depths and is hydraulically connected to the surface <br />stream system and as such is considered tributary and sub- <br />ject to administration unc. ~ the appropriation doctrine. <br />Deep wells in the area could withdraw ground water from a <br />variety of formations. Ground water in the deeper formations <br />is not hydraulically connected to the surface stream system <br />and therefore is considered non-tributary. Shallow gr end <br />water in the area is continuously flowing slowly downstream <br />through the sands and gravels of the floodplain deposits. <br />Hydrology - <br />Water Rights <br />E nvirormental Analysis <br />Urban Drainage <br />
