• Title: GROUND WATER LEVELS IN THE CAMP CREEK DESIGNATED GROUND WATER BASIN
• Year: 2001
• Document Type - Publications and Reports: Ground Water Levels Report

This report contains the basic ground water le�el data collected in the Camp
Creek ❑esignated Ground Water Basin during the period from Aprii 1993 t�irough
February 2�01. Pre - 1993 water level information has also been included where
available. This pre - 1993 data is generally taken from we�l completion reports or
pump installation reports submitted by drilling or pump installation contractors at
the time the well was constructed or a permanent pump installed.
Acquisition and publication of this information is a cooperative effort between the
Coforado Ground Water Commission and the Colorado Division of Water
Resources. The project is a part of a statewide ground water Ee�el monitoring
program funded by Senate Bill 200 (198? legislative session}. This �egislation
directed that a portion of the fees collected for water well permits shall be used
for the establishment of a program to monitor water le�el trends throughout the
state.
Water level data and hydrographs from 10 wells located in the Camp Creek
Designated Ground Water Basin in Washingtan County are presented in this
report. Mr. Glenn Graham of this office took water le�el measurements in these
wells on February fi, 200�. All of the Camp Creek wells monitored are located in
Townships 2 and 3 North, Range 54 West of the 6�h P.M. The wells are listed by
section, township, and range, beginning with the northern-most welis and
proceeding south. The locations of a�l of the wells measured have been
determined by GPS (satellite global positioning system} and thts data in UTM
Grid coordinates is included. Footage distances from section lines for all well
locations is also included. The dashed lines on the hydrographs indicate periods
when no annual water le�el measurements were taken.
For the 1999 — 20D1 period, the 10 wells, including one well with an increase in
water level, showed an a�erage decline in water levels of 1.29 feet. The change
in water levels ranged from a maximum decline of 3.09 feet in Camp Creek 6 to
an increase vf 0.43 of a foot in Camp Creek 4. Since routine water le�el
monitoring began in 1993, the 1 � we11s show an a�erage total decline through
February 2D01 of 4.98 feet. The basin wide average annual decline for the 7-
year period is 0.624 feet. Because of the range of dates of first reported water
le�els, pre-1993 data ha�e not been included in the a�erages.
The information in this report was compiled, edited, and prepared for pubiication
by Glenn Graham.
