The numbers above are for worst case consumptive use since the lake is calculated at maximum <br />surface area. These amounts of water have been used in the gravel well permit application with <br />Colorado Division of Water Resources. <br />5. Water Wells in the Vicinity <br />A search of the Division of Water Resources database on permitted wells shows two wells within <br />800 feet of the permit area. One well is the consumptive use of the old Peterson Gravel Pit, once <br />operated by Elam Construction. This well application was approved in 2009. This gravel pit has <br />been reclaimed to a lake and the consumptive use still exists. It should not be affected by any <br />drawdown of the Otter Creek Pit. This land is currently owned by the Clifton Sanitation District. <br />The second well is an operating gravel pit called the 32 1/2 Road Pit, operated by M.A. Concrete <br />Construction, located immediately to the south of the Otter Creek Pit. This well application was <br />approved in 2009. This pit is active and has been exposing groundwater in the pit as it mines <br />gravel. This operation is within 600 feet of the proposed Otter Creek Pit, and could be affected <br />by the pumping of the new pit. However, any reduction of water in the 32 1 /2 Road Pit should be <br />welcomed since it will lessen the amount of water that M.A. Concrete needs to pump and also <br />lessens slightly the overall consumptive use from that pit, if their water level drops. <br />Additional data on the two wells is included on the following pages. <br />Otter Creek Pit December 12 G - <br />
