KUIPER State Engineer We have reviewed the above referenced application for exemption. The wells proposed as the water supply would intercept ground water which is tributary to East Elk Creek, an over -appropriated stream. Since new wells could cause injury to senior vested water rights, a well permit cannot be issued by this office for the 24 -acre tract and we cannot recommend approval of Barry Exemption. However, if each of the two lots were 35 acres in size, exempt household use only well permits could be issued. Very truly yours, CJK/GDV:mvf cc: Lee Enewold, Div. Eng.
