CASE NO. 2011CW155. MESA COUNTY- City of Grand Junction, c/o Jamie B. Beard, Assistant City Attorney for City of Grand Junction, 250 N. 5th Street, Grand Junction, CO 81501, 970-244-1503 & Thomas Michael Berry, c/o Jenna H. Keller, Feldmann Nagel, LLC, 1120 South Lincoln Avenue, Suite A, P.O. Box 775628, Steamboat Springs, CO 80477; APPLICATION FOR UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHT. Name of well: Berry Well with permit number 283205; Location: At a point 1,106 feet from the south section line and 71 feet from the west section line in the SW¼SW¼ of Section 33, Township 12 South, Range 97 West, 6th P.M.; Source of water: Groundwater tributary to Kannah Creek, tributary to the Gunnison River. Date of appropriation: May 18, 2010. Amount claimed: 15 gpm (.033 c.f.s.), conditional, not to exceed 0.392 acre-feet annually. Use: In-house domestic use in a single-family residence. APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION. Structure to be augmented: Berry Well. Water rights to be used for augmentation: Date of original and all relevant subsequent decrees: January 11, 1911 Case No: CA1818 (District Court of Mesa County), 27047 (Colorado Supreme Court), 27635 (Colorado Supreme Court) W 1720 (District Court of Water Division No. 4). Type of water right: Surface and storage rights. Location: At a point 1,938 feet from the south section line and 875 feet from the west section line in the NW¼SW¼ of Section 34, Township 12 South, Range 97 West, 6th P.M.; Source of water: Kannah Creek tributary to Gunnison River; Appropriation Date: December 30, 1881; Amount: 7.81 c.f.s.; Amount to be included in this plan for augmentation: 0.0401 acre-feet annually. Uses: Domestic and other beneficial uses by virtue of the laws regulating the use of water by towns and cities in this state. Statement of Plan: Augmentation of the Berry Well will be made by releases from the City of Grand Junction Flowline and Water Works. The court awarded the Flowline the paramount water right on Kannah Creek for domestic and other beneficial uses for the City of Grand Junction “by virtue of the laws regulating the use of water by towns and cities in this state.” It was anticipated that the water would be used in the City of Grand Junction and would be 100% depletive to Kannah Creek. Berry Well Demand and Depletions: The household demand for the residence is estimated to be 100 gallons per day (gpd) per person for a three and one-half person household. The in-house demand for the residence has been calculated to average 0.0327 acre-feet per month and total 0.3920 acre-feet per year. Since an Individual Septic Disposal System will be used for the residence, depletions are estimated to be 10% of demand or 0.003 acre-feet per month and total 0.0392 acre-feet per year per residence. Operation of Plan: During times of valid downstream calls, releases will be made from the Flowline release valve (located close to the point of diversion) to replace out of priority depletions from the Berry Well. Anticipated transit losses to the point of depletion have been calculated to be 0.0001 acre-feet per month, therefore, annual augmentation requirements total 0.0401 acre-feet. Releases will be made at the discretion of the Division of Water Resources. MESA COUNTY.
