CAMP CREEK DESIGNATED GROUND WATER BASIN WATER LEVEL MEASUREMENTS <br />2012 <br /> This report contains the basic ground water level data collected from wells in the Camp Creek Designated Ground Water Basin during the period from 1993 through 2012. <br />Acquisition and publication of this information is a cooperative effort between the Camp <br />Creek Ground Water Management District and the Colorado Division of Water <br />Resources. The project is part of a statewide ground water level monitoring program funded by Senate Bill 200 (1987 legislative session). This legislation directed that a portion of the fees collected for water well permit applications be used for the <br />establishment of a program to monitor water level trends throughout the state. <br /> <br />The report contains water level measurements for ten wells. The locations of those wells in context of the designated basin are shown on the following map. All of the Camp Creek wells that are monitored are located in Townships 2 and 3 North, Range <br />54 West of the 6th P.M. Eight wells were measured on March 28, 2012. Depth to <br />groundwater, below land surface, ranged from 14 to 29 feet. Only two wells, CC-01 and <br />CC-02, in the upper reaches of Camp Creek had water levels less than 20 feet below ground surface. <br />Pre-1993 water level information has also been included where available. The pre-1993 <br />data is generally taken from well completion reports or pump installation reports <br />submitted by drilling or pump installation contractors at the time the well was constructed or a permanent pump installed. <br />The wells in this report are listed by township, range and section, beginning at the north <br />end of the basin and proceeding south. Tabular and graphical data are presented for <br />each well for the available period of record. Analyses of changes in the water level in the aquifer are complicated by unknown pumping schedules. <br />On average, ground water levels in wells measured by the Division of Water Resources <br />have declined by approximately three feet over the last ten-year period. Over the past <br />five-year period, however, average groundwater levels have risen by approximately 0.5 feet, and were up from last year’s average by 0.6 feet. <br />Copies of this report can be purchased from the Office of the State Engineer, Records <br />Section, 1313 Sherman St., Room 821, Denver, CO 80203, (303) 866-3581.
