ic),t-.' <br />RPM, Inc. <br />The current well in question, developed by Duckels Construction, was actually dug. A four foot <br />concrete casing lies within a 12 foot diameter excavated area backfilled with gravel. The water <br />level in the concrete casing is approximately 10 feet deep. It acts as an in-place storage tank. <br />Not counting the gravel back fill portion of the well, the interior volume of the four foot concrete <br />casing has an in place capacity of approximately 935.7 gallons, three times the need. <br />Second, the agreement between the Brown's and Duckels Construction is a matter for civil court <br />and not for the Board or Division. <br />Below is an excerpt from the above referenced document. <br />Low-Yield wells <br />In some areas of Colorado, the subsurface geology is not capable of producing <br />the amount of water normally expected frorara< a domestic well (2-1 0 gallons pcr <br />minute). However, with a properly sized storage tank or a controlled pulping <br />system, a well producing as little as one g.p_m. can be adequate for domestic <br />needs- In many domestic wells; several hundreds of gallons of water are <br />already stored in the well. For every foot of water in a 6 inch diameter well, <br />there arc i 1/2 gallons in storage. <br />When properly designed and managed, low-yield water wells can <br />provide a viable supply for a home. Let's use the example of a well capable <br />of producing only one g.p.rn. There are 1440 minutes in every day. If the well <br />produced w=ater throughout the day, 1440 gallons of water could be pumped <br />into the storage tank. Assume that a family of four is served by the well and <br />that each family member uses 75 gallons of water a day, or 300 gallons. Total <br />consumption for the entire family would be less than 21 percent of the water <br />stored in the tank- The well would be required to produce water only five <br />hours a day in order to replenish the water used. <br />Thank you for your time and cons'd ration of this material <br />H.
