A,rcD May 5, 2017 Larry and Mary Pat Halonen c/o Red Barn Guest Ranch, LLC 345 County Road 262 New Castle, CO 81647 RE: CREJob #1142 -Red Barn Guest Ranch, LLC- Water Supply Mr. and Mrs. Halonen: Colorado River Engineering, Inc has prepared this letter to address Garfield County's water supply and distribution requirements for the planned commercial development of a guest ranch and wedding venue. The guest ranch is contemplated to have two guest houses as well as 7,000 square feet of commercial area associated with the wedding venue, and 28 head of livestock. The wedding venue anticipates serving an average of 100 people for 52 weeks out of the year. This frequency of events does not qualify as a transient, non -community water system and is therefore not subject to the additional monitoring requirements of that type of water system. In order to address the requirements outlined in Section 4-203 (M) of the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code, four-hour pump and water quality tests were performed on the existing (unpermitted) well that will be serve as the water source for commercial uses. Legal Supply The Red Barn Guest Ranch (hereafter referred to as "The Ranch") is in the process of permitting the historic well on the property that will serve the wedding venue, referred to as the "Barn Well" (Figure 1). Because the wedding venue will expand the use of the well for commercial activities, the well will be permitted as a non-exempt, augmented well. The Ranch has acquired a West Divide Water Conservancy District contract (#170420LMH(a)) to cover out of priority depletions to the Colorado River associated with the wedding venue. A copy of the contract is provided in Appendix A. The contract covers 0.73 acre feet of depletions (including 5% transit loss) associated with 2 guest houses, 7,000 square feet of commercial space and 28 head of livestock. No irrigation uses are included in this contract because the Ranch also holds five x,j 0 L - - � 0) RA D 0 RIVER ENGINEERING I XCORPOR 4TED percent interest in the Roseman (aka Thompkins) Ditch and 12 shares in the Ware and Hinds Ditch Company. Well Construction The well to be used for the Ranch was never recorded with the State of Colorado. On April 13, 2017, a post -construction well test was performed by Ray's Well Done Pump Service, LLC. This report will be used to permit this well for the uses covered on the West Divide Contract. Once the well permit is finalized, it will be provided. Well Yield Tests The Garfield County Land Use and Development Code requirements for well water quantity testing are outlined in Section 4-203 (M)(1)(b)(5)(a). A four hour pump test was performed by Ray's Well Done Pump Service, LLC (State License: #1419). Results are summarized below and the report can be found in Appendix B. The well was pumped continuously for four hours and averaged 12.5 gallons per minute. The static water level was 89.1 feet and the well depth was reported to be 110 feet. The well is equipped with a % horsepower pump. The total draw down over the four hour test was 0.4 feet. The well made a full recovery within five minutes after pumping ceased. Over four hours, 12.5 gallons per minute yields 3,000 gallons, which is substantially more water than would be required for the anticipated commercial uses. Water demand for this well is fairly uniform throughout the year because there is no irrigation uses associated with the well. Demands for the guest houses are estimated to be 0.53 gallons per minute (gpm). Demands associated with the commercial uses are estimated to be 0.98 gpm and livestock demand at 0.23 gpm. These uses total 1.74 gpm. Even under peak conditions, the 12.5 gpm production of this well is more than sufficient to supply the anticipated uses. This well is subject to Colorado Revised Statute 37-90-137(2) which requires six hundred foot spacing between non-exempt wells. Well Permit: 117165-A is the closest to the commercial well at the Red Barn Guest Ranch, however the distance from well to well will need be verified. If it is within the spacing requirement, permission to use the augmented well will be requested from the owner. . LOR- ADO R�IVE�,R� ENEiINEE.RING INCO I?FOR ATfD Water Quality The Garfield County Land Use and Development Code requirements for well water quality testing are outlined in Section 4-203 (M)(1)(b)(5)(c) and include: Alkalinity, arsenic, cadmium, calcium, coliform bacteria, chloride, conductivity, copper, corrosivity, fluoride, hardness, iron, lead, magnesium, manganese, nitrate/nitrite, pH, sodium, sodium adsorption ratio, sulfate, total dissolved solids, uranium, zinc and alpha/beta radioactivity. Although the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's (CDPHE) Colorado Primary Drinking Water Regulations (CPDWR) generally apply only to public water systems and not to private water systems, the maximum contaminant levels contained in the CPDWR were used for reference. Water quality samples were obtained by Ray's Well Done Pump Service and sent to Accutest Laboratories. Laboratory results are provided in Appendix C, the well that will be used for commercial purposes is labeled as the "Barn Well". Please note that the project name was incorrectly transcribed and should read "Red Barn Guest Ranch", not "Ped Bar N Ranch". All required water quality parameters are within the State's established maximum contaminant levels as outlined in the CPDWR. Fecal coliform was indicated to be <2 per 100ml, which is the lowest possible detection limit and indicates fecal coliform is not present. As of this writing, the Gross Alpha/Beta radioactivity test had not been completed. Once those results are received and reported, the water quality testing completed satisfies Section 4-203 (M)(1)(b)(5)(c) of the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code. It is our opinion that the water supply for the proposed commercial wedding venue has adequate quality, quantity, and dependability for the proposed uses.
