• Title: GROUND WATER LEVELS IN THE CAMP CREEK DESIGNATED GROUND WATER BASIN
• Year: 2000
• Document Type - Publications and Reports: Ground Water Levels Report

This report contains the basic ground water leve� data collected in the Camp
Creek Designated Ground Water Basin during the period from April 1993 through
February 20�0. Pre - 1993 water le�el information has also been inciuded where
available. This pre - 1�93 data is generalfy taken from well completion reports or
pump instaiiation reports suhmitted by drilling or pump installation contractors at
the time the well was constructed or a permanent pump instalfed.
Acquisi#ion and publication of this inforrnation is a cooperati�e effort between the
Colorado Ground Water Commission and the Colorado Di�ision of Water
Resources. The project is a part of a statewide ground water le�ei monitoring
program funded by Senate Bill 2�� (1987 legislati�e session}. This legislation
directed that a portion of the fees collected for water well permits shal� 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 Washington County are presented in this
report. Mr. Glenn Graham of this office took water ie�el measurements in these
wells during the third week of February 2�Q0. A�I of the Camp Creek wells
moni#ored are located in Townships 2 and 3 Nvrth, Range 54 Wes# vf the 6tn
P.M. The welis are listed by section, township, and range, beginning with the
northern-most wells and proceeding south. The locations of all of the wells
measured have been determined by GPS (satellite global positioning system}
and this data in UTM Grid coor�dinates is included this year. The dashed lines on
the hydrographs indicate periods when nv annual water level measurements
were taken.
For the 1999 — 2D�0 period, the 1 � wells, including one wel! with an increase in
water level, showed an a�erage decline in water levels of 0.32 of a foot. The
change in waier le�els ranged �rom a maximum decline of 0.92 feet in Camp
Creek 7 to an increase of 0.82 of a foot in Gamp Creek fi. Since routine water
le�el monitoring began in 1993, the 10 wells show an a�erage total decline
through February 2000 of 3.? feet. The basin wide average annual decline for
the 7-year period is 0.53 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 publication
by Glenn Graham.
