Publisher: Douglas County News-Press Public Notice the Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers underlying the Applicant’s property is nontributary. Estimated Rates of Withdrawal. Pumping from the wells shall not exceed 200 g.p.m. The actual pumping rates for the wells will vary according to aquifer conditions and well production capabilities. Applicant requested the right to withdraw groundwater at rates of flow necessary to withdraw the entire decreed amounts. The actual depth of any well to be constructed within the respective aquifers will be determined by topography and actual aquifer conditions. Estimated Average Annual Amounts of Groundwater Available

II. Applicant is a landowner in El Paso County, Colorado. Applicant owns and a parcel of land 12.7 acres in size and is seeking to quantify the Denver Basin Groundwater underlying the property. Applicant notes the El Paso County assessor’s website incorrectly identifies the land, Parcel No. 7133007024, as being 10.54 acres in size. Applicant also seeks approval of a plan for augmentation for the use of not-nontributary Denver aquifer wells for water provisions to the Applicant’s property. III. Property Description. Applicant’s property lies in the NE1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 33, Township 11 South, Range 67 West of the 6th Prime Meridian, El Paso County, Colorado (“Applicant’s Property”) as shown on the Exhibit A map attached to the application (All exhibits mentioned herein are incorporated by reference and may be inspected at the office of the clerk of this Court.) and as more specifically described and documented on Exhibits B and C attached to the application. Proposed Wells. Applicant proposes constructing up to two wells on Applicant’s Property to support the subdivision of the property into two lots, each greater than five (5) acres in size. There are currently no wells on Applicant’s Property. Water Source. Not-Nontributary. The groundwater to be withdrawn from the Dawson and Denver aquifers underlying Applicant’s property is not-nontributary. Pursuant to § 37-90-137(9)(c.5), C.R.S., the augmentation requirements for wells in the Dawson aquifer require the replacement of actual stream depletions. Pursuant to § 37-90-137(9)(c.5), C.R.S., the augmentation requirements for wells in the Denver aquifer require the replacement of actual stream depletions or 4% of water withdrawn annually depending whereupon the wells are located on the Applicant’s Property. Nontributary. The groundwater that will be withdrawn from the Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers underlying the Applicant’s property is nontributary. Estimated Rates of Withdrawal. Pumping from the wells shall not exceed 200 g.p.m. The actual pumping rates for the wells will vary according to aquifer conditions and well production capabilities. Applicant requested the right to withdraw groundwater at rates of flow necessary to withdraw the entire decreed amounts. The actual depth of any well to be constructed within the respective aquifers will be determined by topography and actual aquifer conditions.

Applicant requests a vested right for the withdrawal of all legally available groundwater in the Denver Basin aquifers underlying Applicant’s Property. Said amounts may be withdrawn over the 300-year life of the aquifers as required by El Paso County, Colorado Land Development Code § 8.4.7(C)(1) which is more stringent than the State of Colorado’s 100-year life requirement pursuant to § 3790-137(4), C.R.S. Applicant estimates that the following values and average annual amounts are representative of the Denver Basin aquifers underlying Applicant’s Property:

Estimated Average Annual Amounts of Groundwater Available. Applicant requests a vested right for the withdrawal of all legally available groundwater in the Denver Basin aquifers underlying Applicant’s Property. Said amounts may be withdrawn over the 300-year life of the aquifers as required by El Paso County, Colorado Land Development Code § 8.4.7(C)(1) which is more stringent than the State of Colorado’s 100-year life requirement pursuant to § 37-90-137(4), C.R.S. Applicant estimates that the following values and average annual amounts are representative of the Denver Basin aquifers underlying Applicant’s Property:

Owner of Land Upon Which Wells are to be Located. The land upon which the wells are to be located, as well as the underlying groundwater, is owned by the Applicant. IV. Structures to be Augmented. The structures to be augmented are the planned Alm Well No. 1 and Alm Well No. 2, which will be placed on the Applicant’s Property, and any additional or replacement wells associated therewith (“Alm Wells”). Applicant intends to subdivide the Applicant’s Property into two parcels with one well serving each parcel. Alm Well No. 1 will be constructed into the Dawson or Denver aquifer and the Alm Well No. 2 will be constructed into the Denver aquifer. The Alm Well No. 1 will not be completed to more than one of the not-nontributary aquifers. Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation. Applicant intends to use the return flows resulting from the pumping of the not-nontributary Denver aquifer wells, or the return flows resulting from the pumping of both the not-nontributary Dawson aquifer and the not-nontributary Denver aquifer wells for augmentation during pumping, with water rights from the nontributary Arapahoe aquifer reserved for any injurious post-pumping depletions. Statement of Plan for Augmentation. Applicant seeks to augment stream depletions attributable to the pumping of the not-nontributary Denver aquifer and potential pumping from the not-nontributary Dawson aquifer as well. Uses. Pumping from the Denver aquifer will be a maximum of 1.7 acre-feet of water per year per lot, with each lot pumping a maximum of 0.85 acre-feet per year if both wells are constructed to the Denver aquifer. If one lot is utilizing Denver aquifer water and the other lot is using Dawson aquifer water, then maximum pumping from the Denver aquifer will be 0.85 acre-feet per year and maximum pumping from the Dawson will be 0.74 acre-feet per year. Such uses shall be for domestic, structure and equipment washing, hot tub, lawn, garden and greenhouse, irrigation, stock water, commercial, recreation, wildlife, fire protection, and also for storage and augmentation purposes associated with such uses. Depletions. Applicant’s consultant has determined that maximum annual stream depletions over a 300-year pumping period for the Denver aquifer amounts to approximately 26.12% of pumping and depletions over a 300-year pumping period for the Dawson aquifer amounts to 8.11% of pumping. Maximum annual depletions are therefore 0.444 acre-feet in year 300 if both lots are utilizing the Denver aquifer or 0.222 acre-feet if only one lot is utilizing the Denver aquifer. If the Dawson aquifer is also being utilized, maximum annual depletions are therefore 0.06 acre-feet in year 300. Should pumping be less than 1.7 acre-feet annually if both lots are pumping from the Denver aquifer, or should pumping be less than 0.85 acre-feet from the Denver aquifer and 0.74 acre-feet from the Dawson aquifer if one lot is utilizing the Denver aquifer and the other lot is using the Dawson aquifer, resulting depletions and required replacements will be correspondingly reduced. Augmentation of Depletions During Pumping. Applicant’s consultant has determined that depletions during pumping will be effectively replaced by residential return flows from a non-evaporative septic system. The annual consumptive use for a non-evaporative septic system is 10% per year. Therefore, at an in-house use rate of 0.25 acre-feet per year, replacement amounts to 0.225 acre-feet to the stream system annually. Thus, during pumping, stream depletion replacement requirements will be more than adequately met. Augmentation of Post Pumping Depletions. For the replacement of any injurious post pumping depletions which may be associated with the pumping from the Denver aquifer as set forth herein, Applicant will utilize non-evaporative septic return flows and potentially irrigation return flows from the subsequent usage of the Arapahoe aquifer underlying the Applicant’s Property. Additionally, Applicant may utilize water from Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer as a replacement source if needed. Applicant reserves the right to substitute other legally available augmentation sources for such post pumping depletions upon further approval of the Court under its retained jurisdiction. Applicant reserves the right in the future under the Court’s retained jurisdiction to prove that post pumping depletions will be noninjurious. Upon entry of a decree in this case, Applicant will be entitled to apply for and receive a new well permit for the uses in accordance with this Application and otherwise in compliance with § 37-90-137, C.R.S. Additional Remarks in this application may be inspected at the office of the clerk of this Court.

Public Notice

In The Douglas County District Court, State of Colorado Court Address: a ected. While CPW didn’t reduce the number, it did shorten two seasons in which hunters could use over-the-counter tags for elk in the severe-winter zone — downsizing one season to ve days from nine and another to ve days from seven.

Rooms at Nelson’s lodge range from $85 to $105 per night and she says she books up during hunting season. With nine lodge rooms and seven cabins booked seven days a week at an average of $95 per night, Nelson could lose more than $100,000 between the start of the deer, elk, and pronghorn hunting seasons, in mid-August, and the end, in December.

Hunters also need to eat, buy last-minute supplies and maybe treat themselves to a few shots of whiskey after their hunts, so that’s more money they spend and more tax revenue for the town of 2,200.

Dylan LeBleu, a dispatcher for the Rangely Police Department, says that while Rangely isn’t a “hunting town,” he’s part of a community of hunters who rely on game meat to ll their freezers. “We have a market here, but not anything big, and it’s a little expensive,” he says, “and the nearest Walmart is an hour away.”

A pound of “all natural” 97% lean ground beef at Walmart currently costs around $7. is multiplied by the estimated 160 pounds of meat a hunter can typically harvest from an average-size 500-pound elk equates to $1,120. Add the cost of gas to drive 100 miles round trip to the Walmart in Vernal, Utah, and back, and subtract the $63 cost of an over-the-counter license to hunt for an elk, and no matter how you look at it, it’s more a ordable for a local to hunt than it is to buy their meat from a grocery store.

Debbie Fitch and her family own several businesses associated with their Fitch Ranch in Parshall, so they likely won’t be as impacted as some due to the size and diversity of their enterprise. “But a lot of people’s livelihoods in this part of the country rely on hunting revenue and I think it’s going to be a tough year for a lot of them,” she said.

“For restaurants, out tters, processors, taxidermists. ey’ll be impacted in multiple ways. And then there’s just … the wildlife out here. It’s so sad,” she added. “It was hard to look at. We had one elk that just laid down in our yard next to our hay bales and that was it. You’ve never seen so many dead animals on the side of the road, either.” en there are the out tters who guide hunters who’ve either won a tag in the lottery, purchased one in person, or paid a landowner equipped with a specialized CPW “landowner preference program” voucher to hunt the landowner’s property.

Tyler Emrick, who owns and operates CJ Out tters outside of Craig with his wife, Michelle, o ers fully and semiguided deer, elk, moose, bear and mountain lion hunts for prices ranging from $3,500 to $10,000 per person. Like Fitch, he says the economic impacts he’ll endure this season will be limited compared with others because he has diversi ed his hunts geographically and now has permits to guide in Wyoming as well as Colorado.

But the Colorado towns of Craig, Meeker, Rangely, Maybell and “maybe, especially Dinosaur,” near the Utah border, “will be hurt because each of these places depend on the hunter harvest for their economy,” Emrick said. He knows an out tter participating in CPW’s landowner program who “normally gets 12 to 14 licenses, and this year he’s getting three to ve. It’s those small guys that depend on that $15,000 to $30,000 to pay for hay that are going to be hit hard. I do believe Meeker County will feel it hardest because even though it’s a rich county because of oil, there’s still all those restaurants. And a new brewery that just moved in. And I don’t know how many public hunters will come.”

Public lands hunters often purchase over-the-counter tags if they came up empty-handed in the lottery. But Emrick wonders if
