The Board of County Commissioners has the discretionary power to exempt a division of land from
the definition of subdivision and the,•eby from the procedure in these Regulations, provided the Board
determines that such exemption will not impair or defeat the stated purpose of the Subdivision
Regulations nor be detrimental to the general public welfare. The Board shall make exemption
decisions in accordance with the requirements of these regulations. Following a review of the
individual facts of each application in light of the requirements of these Regulations, the Board may
approve, conditionally approve or deny an exemption. An application for exemption must satisfy, at
a minimum, all of the review criteria listed below. Compliance with the review criteria, however,
does not ensure exemption. The Board also may consider additional factors listed in Section 8:60
of the Subdivision Regulations.
A. No more than a total of four (4) lots, parcels, interests or dwelling units will be created
from any parcel, as that parcel was described in the records of the Garfield County Clerk
and Recorder's Office on January 1, 1973. In order to qualify for exemption, the parcel as
it existed on January 1, 1973, must have been 35 acres or greater in size at that time and
not a part of a recorded subdivision; however, any parcel to be divided by exemption that
is split by a public right-of-way (State or Federal highway, County road or railroad),
preventing joint use of the proposed tracts, and the division occurs along the public right-of-
way, such parcels thereby created may, at the discretion of the Board, not be considered to
have been created by exemption with regard to the four (4) lot, parcel, interest or dwelling
unit limitation otherwise applicable. For the purposes of definition, all tracts of land 35 acres
or greater in size, created after January 1, 1973 will count as parcels of land created by
exemption since January 1, 1973.

Re: Prehm Ranch Subdivision Exemption Application
Dear Mark:
This office represents A.A. "Tony" Lawson, the contract purchase of the Prehm
Ranch. Mr. Lawson is submitting an application for exemption from subdivision for the Prehm
Ranch property. The purpose of this letter is address certain matters required by the Subdivision
Regulations of Garfield County and, specifically, § 8.00, et seq. of those Regulations related to
exemptions from subdivision.
OWNERSHIP
As reflected in the title commitment appended hereto, title to the Ranch is presently
vested in William E., Edmund A. and Isabelle Prehm.
ACREAGE
The Prehm Ranch is presently comprised of approximately 190.956 acres of land,
based upon the boundary survey prepared by High Country Engineering, Inc. in July 1997 as Project
No. 96698.01.
HISTORY OF CONVEYANCES
We have thoroughly examined the real estate records of Garfield County regarding
conveyances of any portions of the Prehm Ranch since January 1, 1973. We have also had Stewart
Title of Glenwood Springs perform a similar examination. Based upon these examinations, we can
state affirmatively that neither the acreage nor the configuration of the Ranch has changed since
January 1, 1973, and there have been no conveyances of any portions of the Ranch since that date.

MINERAL INTERESTS

the Ranch. All mineral interests are presently owned by the Prehms.
LEGAL ACCESS
Legal access is available to the Ranch by Garfield County Road 163. As evidenced
by the reservation reflected in the exceptions portion of the appended title commitment, the Ranch
is subject to the right-of-way for County Road 163.

capacity is high. The effective rooting depth is 60 inches
or more. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion
hazard is moderate.
This soil is used mainly for wildlife habitat and limited
grazing.
The native vegetation on this soil is mainly Gambel
oak, serviceberry, elk sedge, and bromes.
When range condition deteriorates, forbs and woody
shrubs increase. When the range is in poor condition,
Kentucky bluegrass, undesirable weeds, and annual
plants are abundant. Properly managing grazing main-
tains and improves range condition.
Mule deer, elk, cottontail rabbit, wild turkey, and blue
grouse find habitat on this soil.
Community development and sanitary facilities are lim-
ited by steep slopes and low strength.
This soil is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigated.
2—Arle-Ansari-Rock outcrop complex, 12 to 65
percent slopes. This complex consists of strongly slop-
ing to steep soils and Rock outcrop on mountainsides
and sloping alluvial fans. Elevation ranges from 5,500 to
7,500 feet. The soils formed in alluvium derived from
red -bed shale and sandstone. The average annual pre-
cipitation is about 16 inches, the average annual air
temperature is about 42 degrees F, and the average
frost -free period is about 100 days.
The Arle soil makes up about 45 percent of the com-
plex, the Ansari soil makes up about 35 percent, and
Rock outcrop makes up about 20 percent.
The Arle soil is moderately deep and well drained.
Typically, the surface layer is reddish brown very stony
loam about 10 inches thick. The subsoil and substratum
are reddish brown very stony loam about 22 inches thick.
Soft reddish brown sandstone and shale are at a depth
of 32 inches.
Permeability of the Arle soil is moderate, and available
water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is about 20
to 40 inches. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion
hazard is severe.
The Ansari soil is shallow and well drained. Typically,
the surface layer is reddish brown loam about 10 inches
thick. The substratum is reddish brown stony loam. Bed-
rock is hard, reddish brown sandstone.
Permeability of the Ansari soil is moderate, and availa-
ble water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is about
10 to 20 inches. Surface runoff is rapid, and the erosion
hazard is severe.
Rock outcrop is mainly red sandstone.
This complex is used mainly for grazing and wildlife
habitat.

brush. The native vegetation on the Ansari soil is mainly
Indian ricegrass, wheatgrass, and sagebrush.
When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs
increase. When the range is in poor condition, undesira-
ble weeds and annual plants are numerous. Properly
managing grazing maintains and improves range condi-
tion.
Mule deer, rabbit, and grouse find habitat on these
soils.
Use of this complex for community development or as
a source of construction material is limited mainly by
depth to rock, steep slopes, thin layers of borrow materi-
al, and large stones. Special design can overcome these
limitations. Drainage and structures to control runoff from
snowmelt reduce erosion around construction sites and
roads.
This complex is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigat-
ed.
3—Arvada loam, 1 to 6 percent slopes. This deep,
well drained, sloping soil is on fans and high terraces
(fig. 4). Elevation ranges from 5,100 to 6,200 feet. This
soil formed in highly saline alluvium derived from sand-
stone and shale. The average annual precipitation is
about 12 inches, the average annual air temperature is
about 48 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is
about 120 days.
Typically, the surface layer is strongly alkaline or very
strongly alkaline, pale brown loam about 3 inches thick.
The subsoi. is brown silty clay loam about 14 inches
thick. The substratum is Tight brown or brown silty clay
loam to a depth of 60 inches.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Limon, Kim, Heldt, and Wann soils. Also included are
some soils that are high in silt.
Permeability is very slow, and available water capacity
is moderate. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or
more. Organic matter content of the surface layer is low.
Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is
moderate.
This soil is used mainly for wildlife habitat, limited
grazing, and some irrigated farming.
Irrigated crops produce very poorly because the soil
takes water in very slowly and is droughty. Leaching is
needed to remove excess salts if this soil is to be irrigat-
ed. Soil amendments containing sulphur are helpful in
leaching the salt.
The native vegetation on this soil is mainly saltgrass,
alkali sacaton, and greasewood.
When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs
increase. Properly managing grazing maintains and im-
proves range condition. Seeding improves range in poor
condition. Western wheatgrass, alkali sacaton, and tall
wheatgrass are suitable for seeding. Preparing a
seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Irrigat-
ing new seedings is necessary for successful establish-

ment. Reducing brush improves the range if the grass
understory is adequate.
Cottontail rabbit and pheasant find shelter on this soil
if they can obtain food in surrounding areas.
Use of this soil for sanitary facilities, for community
development, and as a source of construction material is
limited by the high shrink -swell potential, slow permeabil-
ity, clayey textures, and salinity.
This soil is in capability subclass Vlls, irrigated and
nonirrigated.
4—Arvada loam, 6 to 20 percent slopes. This deep,
well drained, sloping soil is on fans and high terraces.
Elevation ranges from 5,100 to 6,200 feet. This soil
formed in highly saline alluvium derived from sandstone
and shale. The average annual precipitation is about 12
inches, average annual air temperature is about 48 de-
grees F, and the average frost -free period is about 120
days.
Typically, the surface layer is moderately alkaline, pale
brown loam about 3 inches thick. The subsoil is brown
silty clay loam about 14 inches thick. The substratum is
light brown or brown silty clay loam to a depth of 60
inches.
included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Limon, Kim, and Heldt soils.
Permeability is very slow, and available water capacity
is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more.
Organic matter content of the surface layer is low. Sur-
face runoff is moderately rapid, and the erosion hazard is
severe.
This soil is used mainly for wildlife habitat and limited
grazing.
The native vegetation on this soil is mainly sagebrush,
greasewood, and wheatgrass.
When range condition deteriorates, grasses decrease
and weedy forbs, cheatgrass, big sagebrush, and
greasewood increase. Properly managing grazing main-
tains and improves range condition. Seeding improves
range in poor condition. Western wheatgrass and tall
wheatgrass are suitable for seeding. Preparing a
seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Irrigat-
ing new seedings is necessary for successful establish-
ment. Brush should not be reduced because grass pro-
duction is low and some desirable native shrubs could
be destroyed.
Cottontail and pheasants find shelter on this soil if
they can obtain food in surrounding areas.
Use of this soil for sanitary facilities and as a source of
construction material is limited by the large amounts of
clay and salts. This soil is corrosive to steel and con-
crete. Community development is limited by high shrink -
swell potential, salinity, and steep slopes.
This soil is in capability subclass VIIs, nonirrigated.
5—Ascalon fine sandy loam, 1 to 6 percent slopes.
This deep, well drained, nearly level to gently sloping soil
11
is on mesas, alluvial fans, and terraces. Elevation ranges
from 5,000 to 6,500 feet. The soil formed in alluvium
derived from sandstone and shale. The average annual
precipitation is about 14 inches, the average annual air
temperature is about 48 degrees F, and the average
frost -free period is about 120 days.
Typically, the surface layer is brown fine sandy loam
about 5 inches thick. The subsoil is brown and yellowish
brown sandy clay loam about 30 inches thick. The sub-
stratum is very pale brown sandy clay loam to a depth of
60 inches.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Olney and Potts soils that have slopes of 1 to 6 percent.
Permeability is moderate, and available water capacity
is moderate. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches. Sur-
face runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is moderate.
This soil is used mainly for irrigated crops, hay, and
pasture. Some areas are used for grazing and wildlife
habitat.
This soil is irrigated mainly by corrugations. Sprinklers
are also suitable. This soil erodes easily. Such practices
as minimum tillage, grassed waterways, and tail water
control reduce the danger of excessive erosion. Drop
structures in irrigation ditches control water and prevent
excFssive ditch erosion.
Tne native vegetation on this soil is mainly need-
leandthread, wheatgrasses, and sagebrush.
When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs
increase. When the range is in poor condition, undesira-
ble weeds and annual plants are numerous. Properly
managing grazing maintains and improves range condi-
tion. Reducing brush also improves the range. Seeding
improves range in poor condition. Pubescent wheat -
grass, western wheatgrass, and big bluegrass are suit-
able for seeding. Preparing a seedbed and drilling the
seed are good practices.
This soil has potential as habitat for pheasant, cotton-
tail rabbit, mourning dove, and squirrel. These animals
mostly obtain food and shelter in areas of crops and hay.
This soil has few limitations for community develop-
ment. Low strength and frost action affect structures and
roads. Community sewage systems will be needed if the
population density increases.
This soil is in capability subclasses Ille, irrigated, and
IVe, nonirrigated.
6—Ascalon fine sandy loam, 6 to 12 percent
slopes. This deep, well drained, moderately sloping to
rolling soil is on mesas, terraces, sides of valleys, and
alluvial fans. Elevation ranges from 5,000 to 6,500 feet.
The soil formed in alluvium derived from sandstone and
shale. The average annual precipitation is about 14
inches, the average annual air temperature is about 48
degrees F, and the average frost -free period is about
120 days.
Typically, the surface layer is brown fine sandy loam
about 5 inches thick. The subsoil is brown and yellowish
12
brown sandy clay loam about 30 inches thick. The sub-
stratum is very pale brown sandy clay loam to a depth of
60 inches.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Olney and Potts soils that have slopes of 1 to 6 percent.
Permeability is moderate, and available water capacity
is moderate. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches. Sur-
face runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is moder-
ate.
This soil is used mainly for irrigated hay and pasture
and some crops. Some areas are used for grazing and
wildlife habitat.
Corrugations are the main method of applying irrigation
water. Sprinklers are also suitable. Steep slopes cause
erosion to be more rapid on this soil than on less sloping
Ascalon soils. Minimum tillage, cover crops, contour til-
lage, and grassed waterways help to control erosion.
Drop structures are needed in irrigation ditches.
The native vegetation on this soil is mainly need-
leandthread, wheatgrasses, and sagebrush.
When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs
increase. When the range is in poor condition, undesira-
ble weeds and annual plants are numerous. Properly
managing grazing maintains and improves range condi-
tion. Reducing brush also improves the range. Seeding
improves range in poor condition. Pubescent wheat -
grass, western wheatgrass, and big bluegrass are suit-
able for seeding. Preparing a seedbed and drilling the
seed are good practices.
This soil has potential as habitat for cottontail rabbit,
squirrel, pheasant, mourning dove, and wild turkey.
Steep slopes and frost action limit community develop-
ment. Cuts and fills should be minimal, and drainage is
needed for roads and structures.
This soil is in capability subclasses IVe, irrigated, and
Vle, nonirrigated.
7—Ascalon-Pena complex, 6 to 25 percent slopes.
These moderately sloping to hilly soils are on sides of
valleys and alluvial fans. Elevation ranges from 5,000 to
6,500 feet. The soils formed in alluvium derived from
sandstone and shale. The average annual precipitation is
about 14 inches, the average annual air temperature is
about 48 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is
about 120 days.
The Ascalon soil makes up about 65 percent of the
complex, and the Pena soil makes up about 25 percent.
The Ascalon soil is on the less sloping, somewhat con-
cave parts of the landscape, and the Pena soil is on the
steeper, convex parts.
The Ascalon soil is deep and well drained. Typically,
the surface layer is brown fine sandy loam about 5
inches thick. The subsoil is brown and yellowish brown
sandy clay loam about 30 inches thick. The substratum
is very pale brown sandy clay loam to a depth of 60
inches.
SOIL SURVEY
Permeability of the Ascalon soil is moderate, and avail-
able water capacity is moderate. Effective rooting depth
is 60 inches. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion
hazard is moderate.
The Pena soil is deep and well drained. Typically, the
surface layer is about 12 inches thick. The upper part of
the surface layer is dark grayish brown stony loam, and
the lower part is dark grayish brown very stony loam.
The substratum is very pale brown very stony sandy
loam to a depth of 60 inches.
Permeability of the Pena soil is moderate, and availa-
ble water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is 60
inches. Runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is moder-
ate.
Included with these soils in mapping are small areas of
Olney and Potts soils that have slopes of 6 to 12 per-
cent. These areas are on small, isolated mesas and
make up 5 to 10 percent of the complex.
This complex is used mainly for wildlife habitat and
limited grazing.
The native vegetation is mainly needleandthread,
wheatgrasses, mountainmahogany, and sagebrush.
When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs
increase. Properly managing grazing maintains and im-
proves range condition. When the range is in poor condi-
tion, seeding is practical. Areas must be carefully select-
ed to avoid the concentration of stones. Pubescent
wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, and big bluegrass are
suitable for seeding. Preparinc a seedbed and drilling the
seed are good practices. Controlling brush improves
areas that are producing more woody shrubs than are
normally found in the potential plant community, but con-
trolling brush may damage deer habitat.
Cottontail rabbit, squirrel, pheasant, mourning dove,
wild turkey, and some mule deer find habitat on these
soils.
Community development is limited by the steep slopes
and frost action in the Ascalon soil and by steep slopes
and stones in the Pena soil.
This complex is in capability subclass Vle, nonirrigated.
8—Atencio-Azeltine complex, 1 to 3 percent
slopes. These nearly level to gently sloping soils are on
alluvial fans and terraces. Elevation ranges from 5,000 to
7,000 feet. The soils formed in mixed alluvium derived
from red -bed shale and sandstone. The average annual
precipitation is about 14 inches, the average annual air
temperature is about 47 degrees F, and the average
annual frost -free period is about 110 days.
The Atencio soil makes up about 45 percent of the
map unit, and the Azeltine soil makes up about 45 per-
cent. Exposed areas of gravel make up about 10 percent
of the unit.
The Atencio soil is deep and well drained. Typically,
the surface layer is dark reddish gray sandy loam about
11 inches thick. The upper part of the subsoil is reddish
brown gravelly sandy clay loam about 12 inches thick,

inches thick. The substratum is sand, cobbles, and
gravel to a depth of 60 inches.
Permeability of the Atencio soil is moderate, and avail-
able water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is 60
inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion
hazard is slight.
The Azeltine soil is deep and well drained. Typically,
the surface layer is reddish gray gravelly sandy loam
about 8 inches thick. The underlying layer is reddish
brown gravelly sandy loam about 10 inches thick. The
substratum is calcareous sand, gravel, and cobbles to a
depth of 60 inches or more.
Permeability of the Azeltine soil is moderately rapid,
and water capacity is very low. Effective rooting depth is
about 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the
erosion hazard is slight.
These soils are used mainly for grazing and crops.
Alfalfa, small grains, potatoes, and grass -legume hay are
the main crops.
This soil is irrigated mainly by flooding. Grassed water-
ways and minimum tillage prevent serious erosion. Cover
crops or stubble mulching in dryfarmed areas also
reduce erosion.
The native vegetation on these soils is mainly wheat -
grass, sagebrush, and needleandthread.
When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs
increase. When the range is in poor condition, undesira-
ble weeds and annual plants are numerous. Properly
managing grazing maintains and improves range condi-
tion. Seeding improves range in poor condition. Crested
wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, and Russian wildrye
are suitable for seeding. Preparing a seedbed and drilling
the seed are good practices. Reducing brush improves
the range.
Pheasant, dove, rabbit, squirrel, and some deer find
food and shelter on these soils, mainly in areas of crops.
Use of this soil for community development or as a
source of construction material is limited by the Targe
stones. Special design is needed for septic tank absorp-
tion fields because of seepage and the possibility of
polluting ground water.
This complex is in capability subclass IVs, irrigated,
and Vis, nonirrigated.
9—Badland. This broadly defined unit consists of
steep and very steep, nearly barren land dissected by
many intermittent drainage channels that have cut into
the soft shale and sandstone of the Green River Forma-
tion and into the soft shale and siltstone of the Wasatch,
Mancos, and Mesa Verde Formations. Badland occurs
throughout the survey area, mainly on steep foothills and
mountainsides that have outcrops of shale or sandstone.
About 85 percent or more of the area is unvegetated.
The water erosion hazard is very severe, and erosion is
active.
About 15 percent of this map unit is small, isolated
areas of Lazear, Tanna, and Dollard soils. These soils
have only a sparse plant cover, mainly scattered pinyon
and juniper. The value for grazing is very limited. The
trees provide a little protection and cover for livestock
and wildlife.
Badland is unsuitable for community development.
Badland is in capability subclass VIIIe, nonirrigated.
10—Begay sandy loam, 1 to 6 percent slopes. This
deep, well drained, nearly'level to gently rolling soil is on
alluvial fans and sides of valleys. Elevation ranges from
5,000 to 6,500 feet. This soil formed in alluvium derived
from red -bed sandstone and shale. The average annual
precipitation is about 14 inches, the average annual air
temperature is about 48 degrees F, and the average
frost -free period is about 120 days.
Typically, the surface layer is red or yellowish red
sandy loam about 14 inches thick. The subsoil is yellow-
ish red fine sandy loam about 10 inches thick. The sub-
stratum is yellowish red stony sandy loam to a depth of
60 inches.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Olney and Ascalon soils that have slopes of 6 to 12
percen'.. These areas make up about 5 to 10 percent of
the map unit.
Permeability is moderately rapid, and available water
capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches.
Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is moder-
ate.
This soil is used mainly for some irrigated pasture and
hay and for grazing. Small acreages of wheat, barley,
and oats are grown.
Flooding and sprinklers are suitable for irrigating this
soil. This soil is droughty and needs frequent irrigation to
mature crops. Controlling the rate of water application
reduces piping and erosion.
The native vegetation on this soil is mainly wheat -
grass, needleandthread, and sagebrush.
When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs
increase. When the range is in poor condition, undesira-
ble weeds and annual plants are numerous. Properly
managing grazing maintains and improves range condi-
tion. Seeding improves range in poor condition. Crested
wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, and Russian wildrye
are suitable for seeding. Preparing a seedbed and drilling
the seed are good practices.
Cottontail rabbit, squirrel, mourning dove, chukar, and
some mule deer find habitat on this soil.
Use of this soil for community development and as a
source of construction material is limited by seepage,
large stones, and excess fines.
This soil is in capability subclasses Ille, irrigated, and
IVe, nonirrigated.
11—Begay sandy loam, 6 to 12 percent slopes.
This deep, well drained, moderately sloping to rolling soil
RIFLE AREA, COLORADO
ranges from 5,000 to 6,500 feet. This soil formed in
mixed alluvium derived primarily from basalt. This soil
has a thin intermittent cap of reddish eolian material. The
average annual precipitation is about 14 inches, the
average annual air temperature is 46 degrees F, and the
average frost -free period is about 125 days.
Typically, the surface layer is brown stony loam about
8 inches thick. The underlying material is white, very
strongly calcareous very stony loam to a depth of 60
inches.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Potts and Ascalon soils on less sloping positions. These
areas make up 5 to 15 percent of the map unit.
Permeability is moderately rapid, and available water
capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is more than 60
inches. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard
is moderate.
This soil is used mainly for grazing and wildlife habitat.
The native vegetation on this soil is mainly pinyon and
Utah juniper. The understory consists mostly of Indian
ricegrass, wheatgrass, junegrass, serviceberry, bitter -
brush, and big sagebrush.
When the understory vegetation deteriorates, grasses
almost disappear and forbs and shrubs increase. Proper-
ly managing the vegetation maintains wood production
and grazing. Selectively thinning the pinyon and juniper
improves understory grazing and provides firewoor',
posts, and Christmas trees.
This soil is suited to production of pinyon and Utah
juniper. It can produce 9 cords of wood per acre when
trees more than 4.5 feet tall reach an average diameter
(at one foot) of 5 inches. The low available water capac-
ity affects survival of tree seedlings.
Mule deer, chukar, wild turkey, gray squirrel, and cot-
tontail rabbit find habitat on this soil.
Community development is limited by large stones and
steep slopes. Structures to divert runoff are needed for
roads.
This soil is in capability subclass Vls, nonirrigated.
34—Ildefonso stony loam, 25 to 45 percent slopes.
This deep, well drained, hilly to steep soil is on mesa
breaks, sides of valleys, and alluvial fans. A small portion
of this unit is on very steep to extremely steep mesa
escarpments. Elevation ranges from 5,000 to 6,500 feet.
This soil formed in mixed alluvium derived primarily from
basalt. This soil has a thin intermittent cap of reddish
eolian material. The average annual precipitation is about
1-4 inches, the average annual air temperature is about
46 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is about
125 days.
Typically, the surface layer is brown stony loam about
8 inches thick. The underlying material is white, very
strongly calcareous very stony loam to a depth of 60
inches.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Potts and Ascalon soils on less steep and depressional
23
positions. These areas make up about 5 to 15 percent of
the map unit.
Permeability is moderately rapid, and available water
capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is more than 60
inches. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard
is severe.
Ildefonso soil is used mainly for grazing and wildlife
habitat.
The native vegetation on this soil is mainly pinyon and
Utah juniper. The understory consists of Indian ricegrass,
wheatgrass, junegrass, serviceberry, bitterbrush, and big
sagebrush.
When the understory vegetation deteriorates, grasses
almost disappear and forbs and shrubs increase. Proper-
ly managing the vegetation maintains wood production
and ground cover. The value for grazing is low because
of steep slopes and tree cover. Firewood, posts, and
Christmas trees can be harvested on the more gently
sloping areas.
This soil is suited to production of pinyon and Utah
juniper. It can produce 9 cords of wood per acre when
trees more than 4.5 feet tall reach an average diameter
(at one foot) of 5 inches. The low available water capac-
ity affects survival of tree seedlings. Steep slopes and
severe erosion hazard affect harvesting.
Mule deer, chukar, wild turkey, gray squirrel, and cot-
tontail rabbit find habitat on this soil.
Community development is limited by large stones and
steep slopes. Structures to divert runoff are needed for
roads.
This soil is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigated.
35—Ildefonso-Lazear complex, 6 to 65 percent
slopes. Moderately sloping to very steep soils are on
hillsides and mesa breaks. Elevation ranges from 5,000
to 6,500 feet. The Ildefonso soil formed in very calcare-
ous, mixed, stony alluvium derived mainly from basalt,
and the Lazear soil formed in shale and sandstone re-
siduum. The average annual precipitation is about 14
inches, the average annual air temperature is about 48
degrees F, and the average frost -free period is about
125 days.
The Ildefonso soil makes up about 50 percent of the
unit, the Lazear soil makes up about 30 percent, and
soils of minor extent make up 20 percent.
The Ildefonso soil is deep and well drained. Typically,
the surface layer is brown stony loam about 8 inches
thick. The underlying material is white, very strongly cal-
careous very stony loam to a depth of 60 inches.

Piping from pond to hydrants should provide a minimum flow of 1000 gallons per minute.
2. Agreements and Maintenance
The property owner shall agree to submit plans for approval to the Glenwood Springs Fire

RE: Prehm Ranch Exempt Subdivision — Water Supply
Dear Peter:
Via Hand Delivery
Colorado River Engineering, Inc. has completed a water supply review for the proposed
subdivision exemption of Prehm Ranch. It is our opinion that a reliable water supply can be
developed for the project given the existing legal supply, physical availability, and water quality test
results. We have prepared a brief summary of the water supply components. Attached are the
following supporting documents utilized in our review:
• Figure 1, "General Location Map"
• West Divide Water Conservancy District water contract
• Table 1 — Water Demand Estimates
• Well construction report
• Table 2, Drawdown Recovery Test Data Prehm Test Well
• Grand Junction Laboratories water quality test results
Background
The Prehm Ranch consists of about 191 acres located in Sections 34 & 35, Township 6 South,
Range 89 West of the 6th P.M. Garfield County, Colorado as illustrated on the attached Figure 1.
The majority of the property consists of elevated benches located along the western banks of the
Roaring Fork River. The property also encompasses Fourmile Creek at its confluence with the
Roaring Fork River. The Prehm Ranch has historically been utilized for ranching operations. Mr.
Edward Prehm has indicated that his family has operated the ranch for about 70 years.
Improvements on the property include an existing home and several out buildings.
We understand that the exempt subdivision will create three new residential lots of about four acres
each. The water supply components for the three new lots include; (1) Domestic supply to be
provided by a shared well, (2) Raw water irrigation supply provided by the senior direct flow rights
diverting from Fourmile Creek, and (3) Storage in a pond for piscatorial, fishery habitat, and fire
protection uses. The remainder of the ranch will continue to utilize a spring to supply domestic
water to the ranch house and senior irrigation rights out of Fourmile Creek for pasture irrigation.

The above water rights divert from or are tributary to Fourmile Creek. These rights are the last
structures located on Fourmile Creek before its confluence with the Roaring Fork River. The Smart
& Green Ditch has historically irrigated lands on the South side of the creek and will be unaffected
by the subdivision. The Gristy Ditch has irrigated lands on the north side of the creek. This ditch
will be used to supply the lawn irrigation demands for the three new lots. Easements and a ditch
operating agreement for service to the three lots should be developed prior to final plat. Prehm
Spring No.1 has historically and will continue to be used to provide the domestic supply to the
existing ranch house.
Water rights for the shared well and pond are covered under a water contract with the West Divide
Water Conservancy District (attached). These structures are located within "Area A" of the district
service area and operate under a temporary substitute supply plan approved by the Colorado
Division of Water Resources. The water contract covers the well, pond, pond feeder ditch, and a
pump & pipeline surface diversion from Fourmile Creek (as shown in Figure 1). Garfield County
recognizes a water contract covered under a temporary substitute supply plan as sufficient proof of
legal supply for exemption applications.
Physical Availability
The irrigation ditch rights have historically provided a full supply of water to the Prehm Ranch and
will provide a reliable supply in the future. The Prehm Spring No.1 has never experienced
shortages in supply according to the Prehm Family. Spring flows in excess of 15 gallons per minute
were observed during the "dry year" conditions of this summer and supports the ability of this
source to provide a reliable supply to the ranch house.
Water demands for the new lots will require that sufficient supply exist to meet domestic uses. Also,
water demands have been identified to replace pond evaporation in order to keep the ponds full and
provide fire protection at all times. The attached Table 1 summarizes the water demands for the
three lots and pond evaporation.
2
• •
In-house demands were estimated at 350 gallons per day per residence. A minor amount of
irrigation demand of 500 square feet per residence was included to account for minimal outside
uses. Domestic demands total about 1.27 acre-feet per year with a peak average diversion rate of
0.88 gallons per minute (gpm) in July. The annual project demands including evaporation
replacement are about 3.33 acre-feet per year with a peak monthly demand of 3.6gpm.
Surface diversions from Fourmile Creek will supply the pond. The stretch of Fourmile Creek
through the Prehm Ranch has historically been a live stream and will provide reliable source of
supply to the pond.
The domestic potable water supply will be provided by a shared well. Shelton Drilling completed a
test hole on Prehm Ranch on August 17, 2000. The well is registered with the Colorado Division of
Water Resources as MH -38737 and is located adjacent to Fourmile Creek as shown on Figure 1.
Drilling was completed to a depth of 47' and then halted after encountering bedrock formation. A
15 -foot layer of sand and gravel material overlaid the bedrock and appeared to be alluvium deposits
of Fourmile Creek. The well construction and test report is attached.
Samuelson Pump Company performed a pump test on the well to check for water quantity and
quality. A 24-hour pump test was completed at an average pumping rate of 15 gallons per minute.
Drawdown and recovery data for the pump test is summarized on Table 2. The initial static water
level was measured to be 18' 1-1/2" inches below the top of the casing. The well provides
approximately 29 -feet of available drawdown (47'-l8'). The drawdown approached stabilization at
approximately 9.08 -feet after 24 -hours of pumping. The 9 -feet of drawdown represents only 31% of
the available drawdown. The drawdown data indicates that the well will yield 15+ gpm and is more
than sufficient to meet the 0.88-gpm average domestic demands of the 3 -lots. The final design of
the well and water system should incorporate either an oversized pump or small storage tank(s) to
meet instantaneous peak household demands. The water system should also include easements and
operation/sharing agreements.
The well recovered quickly after the pump was turned off. Monitoring of the well has shown the
water level has returned to "pre pumping" conditions. Constructed into the creek alluvium, this
well or another well constructed adjacent to the test hole will provide an excellent source of long
term physical supply to the subdivision.
Water Quality
Water samples were collected during the pump test and forwarded to Grand Junction Laboratories
for independent analysis. A water system providing service to three residences does not classify as
a "public water supply" as defined by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
and is not subject to any drinking water regulations. However, Garfield County requires that water
supplies for exempt subdivisions meet state guidelines concerning bacteria and nitrates. The
bacteria guideline tests for any presence of coliform bacteria. No coliform bacteria were detected
from the Prehm Well. The state maximum contaminant level for nitrates is 10-mg/1 of nitrate and 1-
3
• •
mg/I of nitrite. No nitrite was detected and the nitrate level was 0.81 mg/l. The water quality tests
for bacteria and nitrates meet state guidelines.

WEST DIVIDE WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT
WATER ALLOTMENT CONTRACT/LEASE
Name of Applicant: A A. A. L AWSOr
Quantity of Water in Acre Feet: 3.3 3
Applicant, hereby applies to the West Divide Water Conservancy District, a political subdivision of the State of Colorado,
organized pursuant to and existing by virtue of C.R.S. 1973, §37-45-101, et seq., (hereinafter referred to as the 'District") for an allotment
contract/lease to beneficially and perpetually use water or water rights owned, leased, or hereafter acquired by the District. By execution of
this contract/lease and the attached application, Applicant hereby agrees to the following terms and conditions:
1. Water Rights: Applicant shall own water rights at the point of diversion herein lawfully entitling Applicant to
divert water, which will be supplemented and augmented by water leased herein. If Applicant intends to divert through a well, it must be
understood by Applicant that no right to divert exists until a valid well permit is obtained from the Colorado Division of Water Resources.
2. Quantity. Water applied for by the Applicant in the amount set forth above shall be diverted at Applicant's point
of diversion from the District's direct flow water rights, and when water is unavailable for diversion pursuant to administration by the Colorado
State Engineer during periods when said direct flow water right is not in priority, the District shall release for the use of Applicant up to said
quantity in acre feet per year of storage water owned or controlled by the District. It is understood that any quantity allotted from direct flow,
storage or otherwise, to the Applicant by the District will be limited by the priority of the District's decrees and by the physical and legal
availability ofwater from District's sources. Any quantity allotted will only be provided so long as water is available and the Applicant fully
complies with all ofthe terms and conditions ofthis contract/lease. The District and the Applicant recognize that some of the District's decrees
may be in the name of the Colorado River Water Conservation District, and the ability of the District to allot direct flow right to the Applicant
may be dependent on the consent of the Colorado River Water Conservation District. If at any time the Applicant determines it requires less
water than the amount herein provided, Applicant may so notify the District in writing, and the amount of water allotted under this
contract/lease shall be reduced permanently in accordance with such notice. Rates shall be adjusted accordingly in following water years only.
3. Beneficial Use and Location ofBeneficial Use: Any and all water allotted Applicant by the District shall be used
for the following beneficial use or uses: municipal, domestic and related uses, or commercial (except to the extent that Ruedi Reservoir water
may not be available for commercial as that term is defined on Page 5 of Contract No. 2-07-70-W0547 between the United States and the
West Divide Water Conservancy District). Applicant's beneficial use of any and all water allotted shall be within or through facilities or upon
land owned, leased, operated, or under Applicant's control.
1
• •
4. Decrees and Delivery: Exchange releases made by the District out of storage from Ruedi Reservoir and Green
Mountain Reservoir, or other works or facilities of the District, or from other sources available to the District, shall be delivered to the
Applicant at the outlet works of said storage facilities or at the decreed point of diversion for said other sources, and release or delivery of water
at such outlet or points shall constitute performance of the District's total obligation. Delivery of water by the District from Ruedi Reservoir
or Green Mountain Reservoir shall be subject to the District's lease contracts with the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Releases from
other facilities available to District shall be subject to the contracts, laws, rules, and regulations governing releases therefrom. Furthermore,
the District hereby expressly reserves the right to store water and to make exchange releases from structures that may be built or controlled
by the District in the future, so long as the water service to the Applicant pursuant to this agreement, is not impaired by said action. Any
quantity of the Applicant's allocation not delivered to or used by Applicant by the end of each water year (October 1), shall revert to the water
supplies of the District. Such reversion shall not entitle Applicant to any refund of payment made for such water.
Water service provided by the District shall be limited to the amount of water available in priority at the original point of
diversion of the District's applicable water right, and neither the District, nor those entitled to utilize the District's decrees, may call on any
greater amount at new or alternate points of diversion. The District shall request the Colorado Division of Water Resources to estimate any
conveyance losses between the original point and any alternate point, and such estimate shall be deducted from this amount in each case.
5. Alternate Point ofDiveision and Plan of Augmentation: Decrees for alternate points of diversion of the District's
water rights or storage water may be required in order for Applicant to use the water service contemplated hereunder. Obtaining such decree
is the exclusive responsibility of Applicant. The District reserves the right to review and approve any conditions which may be attached to
judicial approval of said alternate point of diversion as contemplated or necessary to serve Applicant's facilities or lands. Applicant
acknowledges and agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the procedures and legal engineering costs necessary for any changes in water
rights contemplated herein, and further agrees to indemnify the District from any costs or losses related thereto. Applicant is solely responsible
for providing works and facilities necessary to obtain/divert the waters at said alternate point of diversion and deliver them to Applicant's
intended beneficial use. Irrespective ofthe amount of water actually transferred to the Applicant's point of diversion, the Applicant shall make
annual payments to the District based upon the amount of water allotted under this contract/lease.
In the event the Applicant intends to apply for an alternate point of diversion and to develop an augmentation plan and
institute legal proceedings for the approval of such augmentation plan to allow the Applicant to utilize the water allotted to Applicant
hereunder, the Applicant shall give the District written notice of such intent. In the event the Applicant develops and adjudicates its own
augmentation plan to utilize the water allotted hereunder, Applicant shall not be obligated to pay any amount under Paragraph 19 below. In
any event, the District shall have the right to approve or disapprove the Applicant's augmentation plan and the Applicant shall provide the
District copies of such plan and of all pleadings and other papers filed with the water court in the adjudication thereof.
6. Contract/lease Payment Non-refundable, one time administrative charge, in the amount determined by the Board
of Directors of the District from time to time, shall be submitted with the application for consideration by the District.
Annual payment for the water service described herein shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the District. The
initial annual payment shall be made in full, within thirty (30) days after the date of notice to the Applicant that the initial payment is due.
Said notice will advise the Applicant, among other things, of the water delivery year to which the initial payment shall apply and the price
which is applicable to that year.
2
• •
Annual payments for each year thereafter shall be due and payable by the Applicant on or before each January 1. If an
annual payment is not made by the due date a flat $50 late fee will be assessed. Final written notice prior to cancellation will be sent certified
mail, return receipt requested, to the Applicant at such address as may be designated by the Applicant in writing or set forth in this
contract/lease or application. Water use for any part of a water year shall require payment for the entire water year. Nothing herein shall be
construed so as to prevent the District from adjusting the annual rate in its sole discretion for future years only.
If payment is not made within fifteen (15) days after the date of said written notice, Applicant shall at District's sole option
have no further right, title or interest under this contract/lease without further notice, and delivery may be immediately curtailed. The allotment
of water, as herein made, may be transferred, leased, or otherwise disposed of at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the District.
Upon cancellation of this water allotment contract/lease with the District, the District shall notify the Division of Water
Resources offices in Denver and Glenwood Springs. The Division of Water Resources may then order cessation of all water use.
7. Additional Fees and Costs: Applicant agrees to defray any expenses incurred by the District in connection with
the allotment of water rights hereunder, including, but not limited to, reimbursement of legal and engineering costs incurred in connection with
any water rights and adjudication necessary to allow Applicant's use of such allotted water rights.
8. Assignment: This contract/lease shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors or assigns of the parties hereto.
Any assignment ofthe Applicant's rights under this contract/lease shall be subject to, and must comply with, such requirements as the District
may hereafter adopt regarding assignment of contract/lease rights and the assumption of contract/lease obligations by assignees and successors.
Nothing herein shall prevent successors to a portion of Applicant's property from applying to the District for individual and separate allotment
contracts/leases. No assignment shall be recognized by the District except upon completion and filing of proper forms for change of
ownership.
Upon the sale of the real property to which this contract/lease pertains, Applicant has a duty to make buyer aware of this
contract/lease and proper forms for change of ownership must be completed.
9. Other Rules: Applicant shall be bound by the provisions of the Water Conservancy Act of Colorado; by the rules
and regulations ofthe Board ofDirectors ofthe District; and all amendments thereof and supplements thereto and by all other applicable law.
10. Operation and Maintenance Agreement: Applicant shall enter into an "Operation and Maintenance Agreement"
with the District under terms and conditions determined by the board of Directors of the District, if and when, the Board of said District
determines in its sole disc tion that such an agreement is required. Said agreement may contain, but shall not be limited to, provisions for

Mr. Mark Bean
Garfield County Building & Planning Department
109 8th St., Suite 303
Glenwood Springs, CO 81601-3303 RE: Prehm Ranch Exemption - Water Supply
Dear Mark:
Colorado River Engineering, Inc. has completed a water supply review for the proposed
subdivision exemption of Prehm Ranch. A reliable water supply exists for the project given the
existing legal supply, physical availability, and water quality test results. We have prepared a brief
summary of the water supply components.
Background
The Prehm Ranch consists of about 191 acres located in Sections 34 & 35, Township 6 South,
Range 89 West of the 6th P.M. Garfield County, Colorado as illustrated on the attached Figure 1.
The majority of the property consists of elevated benches located along the western banks of the
Roaring Fork River. The property also encompasses Fourmile Creek at its confluence with the
Roaring Fork River. The Prehm Ranch has historically been utilized for ranching operations. Mr.
Edward Prehm has indicated that his family has operated the ranch for about 70 years.
The exempt subdivision will create three new residential lots of 4+ acres each. The water supply
components for the three new lots include; (1) Domestic supply to be provided by individual wells,
(2) Raw water irrigation supply provided by the senior direct flow rights diverting from Fourmile
Creek, and (3) Storage in a pond for piscatorial, fishery habitat, and fire protection uses. The
remainder of the ranch will continue to utilize senior irrigation rights out of Fourmile Creek for
pasture irrigation.
Water Rights
Water rights historically utilized at the Prehm Ranch are summarized in the following Table:

The above water rights divert from or are tributary to Fourmile Creek. These rights are the last
structures located on Fourmile Creek before its confluence with the Roaring Fork River. The Smart
& Green Ditch has historically irrigated lands on the South side of the creek and will be unaffected
by the subdivision. The Gristy Ditch has irrigated lands on the north side of the creek. The water
rights will be governed by the subdivisions Homeowners Association and will be utilized to irrigate
the same lands as have historically been irrigated. Prehm Spring No.1 has historically provided the
domestic water supply to the Prehm ranch house. The spring is not part of the water supply for the
three 4+ acre exemption lots and will remain available for use on the remaining 179± acre parcel.
Water rights for the three domestic wells and pond are covered under a water contract with the West
Divide Water Conservancy District (attached). These structures are located within "Area A" of the
district service area and operate under a temporary substitute supply plan approved by the Colorado
Division of Water Resources. The water contract covers each well, pond, and pond feeder ditch (as
shown in Figure 1). Garfield County recognizes a water contract covered under a temporary
substitute supply plan as sufficient proof of legal supply for exemption applications. Each domestic
well has been issued a well permit form the Colorado Division of water Resources pursuant to the
terms and conditions in the water contract.
Physical Availability
The irrigation ditch rights have historically provided a full supply of water to the Prehm Ranch and
will provide a reliable supply in the future. Each lot shall be supplied domestic and irrigation water
supply from an individual well. Each well has been permitted, drilled, and pump tested to assess
water availability and quality. The results of these tests show that each well will provide a reliable
water supply. Attached are report summaries for each of the three wells.
Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions, (970) 625-4933.

DOMESTIC WATER SUPPLY REPORT
PREHM RANCH - LOT 1 WELL
The well permit number for the Lot 1 Well issued by the Colorado Division of Water
Resources is 54873-F (attached). Operation of this well is pursuant to the West Divide Water
Conservancy water contract #906AAL(b) that operates under the District's substitute water
supply plan approved by the Colorado Division of water Resources.
The Lot 1 Well was constructed on March 21, 2001 by Shelton Drilling Company. The well
was drilled through materials consisting of volcanic rock, cobbles, and gravels to a total depth of
120 feet. The static water level (as measured during the four-hour pump test) is at a depth of
15.75 feet below the top of the well casing. The available drawdown of the water bearing
material is approximately 104.25 feet (120'-15.75').
On April 2, 2001, Samuelson Pumping Company performed a four-hour pump test on the Lot
1 Well. Attached is a summary of the pump test results, including graphs of the
Drawdown/Recovery Curve and the Residual Recovery. After four hours of pumping at 15 gpm,
the water level in the well was drawn down 11.17 feet or approximately 10.7 percent of the
saturated thickness of the well (100 x (11.17 / 104.25)). Within one hour after cessation of the
pump test, the water level in the well recovered to 0.21 feet below its initial "pre -pumping" water
level or 98 percent. Based on the results of the pump test, the reliable yield of the well exceeds
15 gpm.
The well is proposed to serve one residence with an allotment for 20,000 square feet of
landscaped irrigation. The in-house water demands are estimated at 350 gallons per day. The
unit irrigation demand is 2.12 -feet per year and assumes an application efficiency of 80%.
Monthly water demands are summarized on the attached Table 1. The peak water demand occurs
in June of each year and will average about 2.4 gpm. The well yield exceeds the water demands
and will provide an adequate water supply.

Results of the water quality analysis performed by Grand Junction Laboratories are presented
below:
• Nitrate 0.99 mg/I
• Nitrite 0.00 mg/I
• Dissolved Solids 517 mg/1
• Total Coliform Bacteria zero
The water quality tests for bacteria, and nitrates/nitrites meet the Colorado Department of Health
guidelines. The total dissolved solids are above the 500-mg/1 recommended level. Dissolved
solids are a secondary standard established by the health department and reflect aesthetic qualities
of the water supply. The dissolved solids do not pose any health risks and the amount detected is
representative of other groundwater supplies in this area of the state.

DOMESTIC WATER SUPPLY REPORT
PREHM RANCH - LOT 2 WELL
The well permit number for the Lot 2 Well issued by the Colorado Division of Water
Resources is 54874-F (attached). Operation of this well is pursuant to the West Divide Water
Conservancy water contract #906AAL(b) that operates under the District's substitute water
supply plan approved by the Colorado Division of water Resources.
The Lot 2 Well was constructed on March 1, 2001 by Shelton Drilling Company. The well
was drilled to bedrock (Eagle Valley Formation) to a total depth of 111 feet. The static water
level (as measured during the four-hour pump test) is at a depth of 26.75 feet below the top of the
well casing. The available drawdown of the water bearing material is approximately 84.25 feet
(111'-26.75').
On March 15, 2001, Samuelson Pumping Company performed a four-hour pump test on the
Lot 2 Well. Attached is a summary of the pump test results, including graphs of the
Drawdown/Recovery Curve and the Residual Recovery. After four hours of pumping at 12 gpm,
the water level in the well was drawn down 14.58 feet or approximately 17.3 percent of the
saturated thickness of the well (100 x (14.58 / 84.25)). Within one hour after cessation of the
pump test, the water level in the well recovered to 8.75 feet below its initial "pre -pumping" water
level. A water level measurement made on April 4, 2001 showed the water level had recovered
to its original static water level. Based on the results of the pump test, the reliable yield of the
well exceeds 12 gpm.
The well is proposed to serve one residence with an allotment for 20,000 square feet of
landscaped irrigation. The in-house water demands are estimated at 350 gallons per day. The
unit irrigation demand is 2.12 -feet per year and assumes an application efficiency of 80%.
Monthly water demands are summarized on the attached Table 1. The peak water demand occurs
1
in June of each year and will average about 2.4 gpm. The well yield exceeds the water demands
and will provide an adequate water supply.
The Lot 3 Well is located approximately 55 -feet from the Lot 2 Well. The Lot 2 Well was
observed to drawdown about 3 -feet during a pump test conducted for the Lot 3 Well. The
observed drawdown indicates that the wells share the same source of supply. The results also
indicate that the close proximity of the two wells will not impair the ability to provide a reliable
supply to each residence.
Results of the water quality analysis performed by Grand Junction Laboratories are presented
below:
• Nitrate 0.28 mg/1
• Nitrite 0.00 mg/l
• Dissolved Solids 619 mg/1
• Total Coliform Bacteria zero
The water quality tests for bacteria, and nitrates/nitrites meet the Colorado Department of Health
guidelines. The total dissolved solids are above the 500-mg/1 recommended level. Dissolved
solids are a secondary standard established by the health department and reflect aesthetic qualities
of the water supply. The dissolved solids do not pose any health risk and the amount detected is
representative of other groundwater supplies in this area of the state.

DOMESTIC WATER SUPPLY REPORT
PREHM RANCH - LOT 3 WELL
The well permit number for the Lot 3 Well issued by the Colorado Division of Water
Resources is 54875-F (attached). Operation of this well is pursuant to the West Divide Water
Conservancy water contract #906AAL(b) that operates under the District's substitute water
supply plan approved by the Colorado Division of water Resources.
The Lot 3 Well was constructed on March 5, 2001 by Shelton Drilling Company. The well
was drilled through materials consisting of volcanic rock, cobbles, and gravels to a total depth of
120 feet. The static water level (as measured during the four-hour pump test) is at a depth of
24.06 feet below the top of the well casing. The available drawdown of the water bearing
material is approximately 95.94 feet (120'-24.06').
On March 19, 2001, Samuelson Pumping Company performed a four-hour pump test on the
Lot 3 Well. Attached is a summary of the pump test results, including graphs of the
Drawdown/Recovery Curve and the Residual Recovery. After four hours of pumping at 10 gpm,
the water level in the well was drawn down 38.67 feet or approximately 40.3 percent of the
saturated thickness of the well (100 x (38.67/ 95.94)). Within one hour after cessation of the
pump test, the water level in the well recovered to 8.3 feet below its initial "pre -pumping" water
level. Based on the results of the pump test, the reliable yield of the well exceeds 10 gpm.
A water level measurement made on April 4, 2001 showed the water level had recovered to
about 2 -feet from the start of the pump test. This well was the only well out of four wells drilled
and pump tested on the property that did not recover to its pre pumping conditions. We believe
that the well encountered a perched lens of water bearing material that once drained it did not
refill. The recovery tests on the wells at the property indicate that the aquifer is recharging and
the "mining" of groundwater is not occurring.
1
The well is proposed to serve one residence with an allotment for 20,000 square feet of
landscaped irrigation. The in-house water demands are estimated at 350 gallons per day. The
unit irrigation demand is 2.12 -feet per year and assumes an application efficiency of 80%.
Monthly water demands are summarized on the attached Table 1. The peak water demand occurs
in June of each year and will average about 2.4 gpm. The well yield exceeds the water demands
and will provide an adequate water supply.
The Lot 2 Well is located approximately 55 -feet from the Lot 3 Well. The Lot 3 Well was
observed to drawdown about 4 -feet during a pump test conducted for the Lot 2 Well. The
observed drawdown indicates that the wells share the same source of supply. The results also
indicate that the close proximity of the two wells will not impair the ability to provide a reliable
supply to each residence.
Results of the water quality analysis performed by Grand Junction Laboratories are presented
below:
• Nitrate 0.19 mg/1
• Nitrite 0.00 mg/1
• Dissolved Solids 515 mg/1
• Total Coliform Bacteria zero
The water quality tests for bacteria, and nitrates/nitrites meet the Colorado Department of Health
guidelines. The total dissolved solids are above the 500-mg/1 recommended level. Dissolved
solids are a secondary standard established by the health department and reflect aesthetic qualities
of the water supply. The dissolved solids do not pose any health risk and the amount detected is
representative of other groundwater supplies in this area of the state.

RE: Prelim Ranch Subdivision Exemption
Dear Mr. Russel:
Allfik
Enclosed is a copy of the Project Information and Staff Comments for the Prelim Ranch
Subdivision Exemption hearing before the County Commissioners on November 27th.
Regarding access (Item F.), i would like to verify that the following improvements to County
Road 163 arc consistent with our previous on-site discussion and agreement, so I may
accurately discuss these improvements during the Commissioner's meeting:
1. Construct approximately 5 intcrvisihlc turnouts.
2. Install cross culverts where the turnout construction will till in the drainage ditch.
3. Install a continuous guard rail along the roadway.
If this is not consistent with your understanding of the necessary road improvements, please let
me know prior to Monday's meeting so I do not misrepresent our previous discussion. 1 will
prepare design drawings for the road improvements as soon as 1 receive the necessary survey
information. The surveyors are scheduled to survey. the site the week of November 27t.

Enclosed for your review is the Access Road Plan showing the proposed improvements to
County Road 163 and the access road into Prehm Ranch. The proposed improvements include
intervisible turnouts, culvert pipes and guardrail. I specified 15 -inch culvert pipes to avoid
potential grade conflicts with the existing underground fiber optic line in the road.

Dear Mark:
Enclosed for your review are the Exemption Plat and the Declaration of Covenants for Prehm Ranch.
There is no proposed Subdivision
and theefirentprotect onenmprovement; we t imprto ovements sh construction of the
County Road 163 improvementsto the signing of the
Exemption Plat.
Also enclosed is a Water Supply Report from Colorado River Engineering, including test well pumping
results, well water quality analysis, well completion report, and West Divide Water Conservancy
District Water Allotment Contract/Lease. Well Permits 54873-F, 54874-F and 54875-F are enclosed;
these wells will be the source of water supply for the three exemption lots. The spring that was the
source of domestic water supply for the original Prehm ranch house will not be used; the exemption lot
property owners will have no rights to water from this spring.
The County Road Improvement Plan was submitted to Tom Russell on January 8' (see enclosed letter).
Driveway access to the exemption lots is from the existing Prehm Ranch driveway that extends from
County Road 163; I assume that driveway permits are not necessary to utilize this existing access.
Our 120 -day limit to present the Plat to the Commissioners for signatures is about to expire, so we
hereby request an extension. Please give me a call if you have any questions or if you need additional

other services which the Association may provide or contract for each quarter. The obligation of each
Owner to pay assessments shall be subject to the following:

quarterly assessments shall be based upon advance estimates of the payments required in order to
satisfy the obligations of the Services Agreement, utility management services, and any other
expenses described in the annual budget and authorized by the Directors, including the creation of
a reasonable contingency reserve, surplus and/or sinking fund.
(2) Special Assessments. In addition to the quarterly assessments,
the Directors may levy from time to time special assessments, payable over such time periods as the
Directors may determine, for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in pan, the cost of any service
which may be provided or arranged for by the Association for the benefit of its members, or for any
deficit between the estimated and actual costs not covered by the estimate of annual assessments.
(3) Apportionment of Assessments. Any amounts assessed pursuant
hereto shall be apportioned among and borne and paid by Owners in proportion to the number of
Lots owned by each Owner, except any special assessment specifically attributable to fewer than all
of the Owners and/or attributable to a specific Owner

required to be raised by quarterly assessments and the total mount required to be raised by special
assessments shall be determined at least annually in accordance with the following procedures. The
Directors of the Association shall prepare a budget for the time period covered thereby showing, in
reasonable detail, the various matters proposed to be covered by the budget, showing the estimated
costs and expenses of each of those items, showing any estimated income or other funds to be

assessments required to cover costs and expenses and to provide a reasonable reserve. The total

6
• •
provided herein shall not affect the liability of any Owner for such assessments, but the date when
payment shall become due in such a case shall be deferred to a date thirty (30) days after such notice
is given.
(6) Lien for Assessment. All sums assessed against any Lot pursuant
to this Declaration, together with interest thereon as provided herein, shall be secured by a lien on
such Lot. Such lien shall be subject to liens and encumbrances recorded prior to the date of recording

by a first mortgage or first deed of trust duly recorded in the records of the Clerk and Recorder of
Garfield County, Colorado, including all unpaid obligatory advances to be made pursuant to such
mortgage or deed of trust and all amounts advanced in accordance with the terms thereof. All other
lienors acquiring liens on any Lot after this Declaration is recorded, shall be deemed to consent and
agree that such liens shall be inferior and junior to future liens for assessments as provided herein,
whether or not such consent is specifically set forth in the instrument creating such liens. To
evidence a lien for sums assessed pursuant to this Section, the Association shall prepare a written
notice of lien setting forth the amount of the assessment, the date due, the amount remaining unpaid,
the name of the Owner of the Lot and a description of the Lot. Such a notice shall be signed by an
officer or Director of the Association and shall be recorded in the office of the Clerk and Recorder
of Garfield County, Colorado. No notice of liens shall be recorded until there is a delinquency in

expenses of such proceedings, the cost and expenses of flung the notice of lien and all reasonable
attorneys' fees. All such costs and expenses shall be secured by the lien being foreclosed. The Owner
shall also be required to pay to the Association any assessment against the Lot which may become
due during the period of foreclosure, including any and all utility management services costs. The
Association shall have the right and power to bid at the foreclosure sale or other legal sale and to
acquire, hold, convey, lease, rent, encumber, or otherwise deal with the same as the Owner thereof
(7) Personal Obligation of Owner. The amount of any quarterly or
special assessment with respect to any Lot shall be the personal obligation of the Owner of such Lot.
Suit to recover a money judgment for such personal obligations shall be maintainable by the
Association without foreclosing or waiving the liens securing the Owners obligation hereunder. No
Owner may avoid or diminish such personal obligation by waiver of the services to be provided
hereunder or by the abandonment of such Owner's Lot or any improvements thereon.

provisions herein contained shall give the Declarant the right to enter upon that portion of a Lot
