Comments:
HUMAN HEALTH
Arsenic, Cadmium, Copper, Lead, Uranium, Fluoride, Nitrate/Nitrite concentrations are below EPA
health -based standards. Iron, Manganese, Zinc, pH, Solids -Dissolved, Sulfate and Chloride levels
meet EPA aesthetic -based standards.
Based on these results, the water is safe for human consumption.
CORROSIVITY
The Corrosivity Index is 6.0, which indicates that the water is scale -forming and may cause scale build-
up.

The sodium adsorption radio (sodicity) is 1.11.
The conductivity (salinity) is 570 uS.
The sodium and chloride concentrations (toxicity) are 38 mg/L (recommended level <46mg/L) and 8.3
mg/L (recommended level < 140 mg/L), respectively.
The alkalinity is 290 mg/L (recommended level <92 mg/L).
Based on the measured sodicity, salinity, toxicity and alkalinity the water is considered a slight to
moderate irrigation risk and may have detrimental effects on sensitive crops such fruit trees, clover,
radishes, celery and green beans. Less sensitive crops such as tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage, peppers,
cauliflower, lettuce, sweet corn, potatoes, carrots, onions, peas, squash and cucumbers may also be
affected.
Alkalinity
>92 mg/L
Bicarbonates and carbonates can clog the nozzles of pesticide sprayers and drip tube irrigation
systems and reduce the activity of some pesticides. High carbonates cause calcium and magnesium
ions to form insoluble minerals leaving sodium as the dominant ion in solution.

Dear Jody,
The purpose of this letter Report is to address the County's concern about the adequacy
of the production of Daniels Well No. 2 for the Quicksilver Subdivision (Permit No.
67565-F). The Water Supply Report, submitted in support of the Quicksilver Subdivision
on October 2, 2008, stated that it is anticipated that Daniels Well No. 2 will serve Lots 6
and 7 (a total of four units). That Report also indicated that the maximum average daily
demand per well is anticipated to be 2,448 gallons, or an average of 1.70 gallons per
minute (gpm), based on the maximum annual demand of 2.74 af/yr per well.
As discussed in our October 2008 Report, Daniels Well No. 2 was drilled and completed
on March 10, 1999 to a depth of 223 feet. The static water level in the well prior to the
test was approximately 119 feet below top of well casing. A pump test was conducted
on Daniels Well No. 2 for approximately three hours on February 13, 2008, originally at a
rate of 4.2 gpm for 2 hours, then after recovery, at an increased rate of 9 gpm for an
additional hour with a full recovery period of 18 -hours. The original 2 -hour test, and the
1 -hour and 18 -hour recovery test are presented in graphical form attached to this letter
as drawdown vs time, as Figures 1 and 2, respectively. The drawdown data from both
tests, and the recovery data were interpreted to determine the average transmissivity of
the aquifer of 53 gpd/ft. This value was used, as discussed in our October 2008 Report,
to support the opinion that the well was capable of a sustained yield of at least 1.7 gpm
and 2.74 af/yr.
For purposes of supporting the determination of whether Daniels Well No. 2 is adequate
to support the proposed demand of 1.7 gpm, it is useful to focus on the graph of the 2 -
hour test results shown on Figure 1. That graph indicates that the drawdown of the
Quicksilver Court
October 9, 2017
Page 2
water level in the well at the end of the 2 -hour test at a pumping rate of 4.2 gpm was
about 23 feet. In addition to using the time -drawdown graph for calculating aquifer
parameters, it can also provide a useful means of predicting future drawdowns (see
Groundwater and Wells 2nd Edition by Fletcher Driscoll, 1986). This can be
accomplished by extending the drawdown line on that graph an additional 2 hours, which
then indicates the drawdown of the water level in the well that would have occurred at 4
hours into the test at that same pumping rate (4.2 gpm), or a total drawdown of 23.6 feet
(see Figure 1). This is the drawdown that would have occurred had the well been
pumped for 4 hours at 4.2 gpm. Considering that the available drawdown in the well
was about 104 feet at the beginning of the test indicates that the well is capable of
producing in excess of the required average annual yield of 1.70 gpm (2.74 of/yr)
needed for the water supply to meet the development's demands.
In my opinion, this analysis indicates that Daniels Well No. 2 is adequate to meet the
Quicksilver Court Subdivision's demands and satisfies the County's water supply testing
requirements as cited in Section 4-203 (M)(1)(b)(5)(a) of the Land Use Development
Code for water supply from ground water sources..
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

RE: Quicksilver Court Lot 4, 5, 6, and 7
July 31, 2017
David:
This letter is to advise you that I have reviewed File Number: GAPA-05-17-
8536 through 8539, Quicksilver Court lot 4, 5, 6, and 7, located at Quicksilver
Court Subdivision on Grass Mesa. I have made a site visit to this location and
reviewed the digital application.
I have some concerns with the existing water supply for the subdivision and they
are as follow:
1. Lot 7 well supplies the water for the fire suppression water in the pond.
With adding two homes to the well, is the usage of water for the homes
going to allow for the pond to be refilled when and if needed along with
maintaining the full status of the required water supply in the original
subdivision plat?
2. On my site visit on Monday, the pond was close to full but the vegetation
(cattail's and other growth) in the pond may hinder the drafting of the water
from the pond through the intake of the suction pipe. The pond appears to
need some cleaning and maintenance. The owners should make contact
with me so we can agree on a pond maintenance schedule.
I have no other requirements or concerns with the proposed ADU's at this
location.
Mr. Daniels has responded to my concerns with a plan to reduce vegetation in the
pond and has provided me with information on the water wells that supply the
water for filling the Fire Suppression Pond. The information provided to me from
Mr. Daniels has addressed my concerns to the addition of ADU's. No further
comments or concerns for this project.

me with any questions or concerns. .
