Re:
Gravel Pit Application
Your File #78-287
Signal Peak Ranch Company
We have been asked to comment upon the water rights owned by
the Signal Peak Ranch Co, and whether the same are available
to fill the excavation caused by the removal of gravel from
the existing gravel pit on the premises.
We have examined the premises and we have compiled a list of
the water rights owned by the ranch, and we are familiar
with both the water rights owned by the ranch and the water
situation as it exists on the premises.
During all seasons of the year, the excavation caused by the
removal of gravel will be filled with water. This water table
will, of course, fluctuate to some degree. During the
winter time, the water will freeze, although a small pool
may be left under the ice, this depending upon the depth of
the excavation. Whether or not fish will remain alive will
depend upon the same factor.
We do not anticipate that any problem will arise as far as
other water rights users are concerned as we do not believe
any adverse effect upon such rights will occur. In the
event a complaint is made, the Signal Peak Ranch owns more
than sufficient rights which can be utilized to alleviate
any injury which may take place. It has ample water rights
to adopt a plan of augmentation to provide replacement for any
stream depletion caused by the above described pool. We
have attached a list of the water rights owned by the Signal
