Martin and Wood Water Consultants, Inc. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Memorandum <br /> <br />To: Megan Gutwein <br /> <br />From: Krystle Ervin, E.I. and Craig Lis, P.E. <br /> <br />Date: November 25, 2019 <br /> <br />Subject: Depth to Groundwater Table on Participating Farms <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />Participating farms included in the Colorado Springs Utilities/Super Ditch Pilot Project were <br />reviewed to determine whether high groundwater conditions exist. Static water levels reported <br />in well construction reports and available as meta data within the Colorado Decision Support <br />System (CDSS) were reviewed. Additionally, the most recent water level reading as reported <br />in the Division of Water Resources (DWR) water level database available on CDSS were <br />reviewed. Based on these two data sources, the average depth to groundwater on the <br />Diamond A, Mameda, Groves, and Mayhoffer Farms is more than 12 feet. Additional research <br />should be done to examine potential high groundwater conditions on Schweizer Farm. <br /> <br />Diamond A <br /> <br />Water levels from wells located on the Diamond A Farm or within 100 feet of the farm ranged <br />from 8 to 28 feet and averaged 15.9 feet. <br /> <br />Mameda Farm <br /> <br />Water levels from wells located on the Diamond A Farm or within 100 feet of the farm ranged <br />from 30 to 41 feet and averaged 34.2 feet. <br /> <br />Groves Farm <br /> <br />Water levels from wells located on the Diamond A Farm or within 100 feet of the farm ranged <br />from 6 to 19 feet and averaged 14.5 feet. <br /> <br />Mayhoffer Farm <br /> <br />There were not any water levels available on the Mayhoffer Farm; however, a water level <br />reading located near Crooked Arroyo indicated a depth of 12 feet. <br />Martin and Wood Water Consultants, Inc. <br />538 Commons Drive, Golden, CO 80401 <br />Phone: (303) 526-2600 Fax: (303) 526-2624 <br />www.martinandwood.com
