2 . GUEST: DAVID HILL -WATER RIGHTS ATTY.
Mr. David Hill of Berg Hill Greenleaf & Ruscitti appeared before the Board to review
Aurora 's claim that approximately 4,000 acre feet of its diversions on the Last Chance
ditch rights create water that Aurora can re-use to extinction. Aurora's position enables
Aurora to take more water at Strontia, which shorts the water rights , which divert below
Englewood and causes calls against Englewood's water.
Hill also discussed the history of Englewood's water rights .
3 . POWDERED ACTIVATED CARBON (PAC) SYSTEM AND AMMONIA
STORAGE TANK.
Seasonal algae events in the Allen Water Treatment Plant's raw water supplies lead to
complaints of musty tastes and odors from Englewood customers. The City has been
renting PAC equipment, housed within a trailer, for the past year and has had positive
results using carbon which removes organic material that causes taste and odor problems.
Recognizing the long-term benefit of a permanent system and to eliminate the rental cost
of $4 ,000 /month, the C ity has decided to build a permanent PAC facility at the Union
A venue Pump Station .
The recommended purchase is for constructing a new masonry bui lding to contain
chemical storage and feed facilities for the powdered activated carbon including chemical
storage handling and feed equipment, piping, spill containment, metering, electrical,
controls and instrumentation . This includes installation of the previously purchased PAC
feed equipment. Also part of this bid is the purchase and installation of a 2 ,500-gallon
aqua ammonia storage tank and supports with piping modifications in an existing room at
the Allen Water Treatment Plant.
Due to time constraints , it was decided to request bids from five reputable contractors
recommended by the project engineer, Carrollo Engineering. Quotes were received on
April 23 , 2003 from five contractors. Three bids were rece ived.
Glacier Construction Co.
Jennison Construction Co .
Staner Construction, Inc.
$542,350.00
$619,952.00
$788,000.00
Carollo Engineers evaluated the fi ve contractor 's proposals and determined that Glacier
Construction Company best met the City's specifications.
The engineer's estimate was $500 ,000 . $100 ,000 was budgeted for the ammonia storage
tank building and $150,000 for the PAC building. Funds are available for the remaining
amount. The Board agreed that if the final bid was under $500,000 to automatically
forward to City Council for approval , and if over $500 ,000.00 to require a phone vote.

4. LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR BROWN DITCH ON WATSON LANE.
Heartstone Homes submitted a License Agreement to maintain the City's easement along
the Brown Ditch, which is an open drainage way. An adjacent development was built,
and pipes were constructed for crossing the Brown Ditch at approximately 5600 Watson
Lane. Watson Lane is located one block west of Federal, south of Bowles and north of
Columbine Country Club in the City of Littleton.
Englewood will maintain their easement and the right to install, repair, remove or relocate
the Brown Ditch at any time deemed necessary. The License Agreement will allow
Heartstone Homes to fill in the existing ditch for improved appearance and to minimize
maintenance and safety concerns .
The Licensee expressly assumes full and strict liability for any and all damages of every
nature to person or property caused by the Licensee performing any work in connection
with the use of the easement by the Licensee . The City reserves the right to make full use
of the property necessary in the operation of the Brown Ditch.

5. KENT VILLAGE LETTER OF MARCH 11 , 2003 .
The Board received a copy of a letter from the Kent Village Association discussing
resident complains about Englewood's water resulting in unpleasant taste , particles in the
water and a stain residue that is left on windows when cleaned. Stu discussed the follow-
up investigation and that some o f the complaints are due to hard water resulting from the
current drought conditions . Utilities staff will explore flushing the main lines in the area.
The Board also received a copy of John Bock's response dated March 31 , 2003 .
6 . SECURITY ADVISORY.
The Board received a Security Advisory from the State of Colorado ad v ising that on
March 23 a tractor-trailer and its load of 2 1,000 pounds of Gramoxone, a toxic liquid
herbicide, was stolen from Mississaugh , Canada. While there is no known evidence o f
the motives of those that hav e stolen this supply of chemicals , it is important that water
utilities be aware that this theft has occurred.
7 . WATER METER PURCHASE .
The Utilities Department is converting the metering system to the ITRON Automatic
Meter Reading System. All meters and registers will be will be compatible with the
ITRON System . About $15 ,00 0 worth of these meters and yokes will be resold to
Englewood customers for new installations as part of the flat-rate-to-meter conversion
process . The remaining stock will be used to replace inactive or poorly funct ioning
meters or convert meters to the ITRON system as part of the water meter maintenance
program. There is money budgeted for these items in the 2002 budget.
Mountain States Pipe & Supply was the low bidder in the amount of $70 ,455 .38 for the
ERT meters and Dana Kepner as the low bidder in the amount of $6,237.65 for the
regular %" yokes , valves and fittings.

Five samples were taken from various areas around town -Bi-City Wastewater
Treatment Plant, 3416 S. Race S t., the Civic Center, 3405 S. Race St. and the Kent
Village Club House.
The Board sampled water from the various jugs anonymously. The consensus was that
the water from 3405 S. Race and Kent Village had a metallic taste . Stu noted that , as
discussed above , steps were being to investigate the cause.
The meeting adjourned at 6:20 p .m .

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Agenda Item Subject
Centennial Agreeme nt for
Temporary Lease of Return
Flows
STAFF SOURCE
Stewart H. Fonda, Director of Utilities
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Council passed the original Centennial Agreement for Temporary Lease of Return Flows on
July 1, 2002 . This agreement is a renewal agreement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Englewood Water and Sewer Board , at their May 13, 2003 meet ing , recommended
Council approval of the Agreement for Temporary Lease and/or Re-Diversion of Reusable
Return Flows of Water Agreement with Centennial Water and Sanitation District.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
Englewood injects granular activated carbon to improve water quality into a forebay near
Union Ave. and S . Platte River, but the process creates blackened water that canno t be
directly introduced into City Ditch for exchanging. Clear water can be exchanged up City Ditch
but must be pumped into the ditch from a forebay adjacent to the Allen Plant. Englewood has
no pump or pipe for pumping this forebay, but Centennial is agree i ng to provide and install the
pump and pipe at Centennial's sole expense .
Centennial owns reusable wastewater return flows to the S. Platte River and Englewood has
means to re-divert these flows at Union Avenue and either use them or redeliver to
Centennial. The proposed agreement would divert the return flows and pay Centennial $85.00
an acre-foot for the flows, plus pumping costs. Centennial would acquire all return flows
delivered to Mclellan Reservoir that are not acquired by Eng lewood and shall pay Englewood
$30/acre foot, plus pumping costs .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Englewood will pay Centennial $85 per acre foot for all return flows in acquires from
Centennial and Centennial shall pay Englewood $30 per acre foot for return flows acquired by
Centennial from Mclellan Reservoir.
LIST OF ATTACHMENTS
Bill for Ordinance
AGREKMENT FOR TElYIPORARY LEASE AND/OR
RE-DIVERSION OF REUSABLE RETURN FLOWS OF WATER
1. Introduction: Parties and Purposes .
Centennial Water and Sanitation District (Centennial) owns reusable return flows to the
South Platte River which consist of Centennial' s reusable water discharged by Centennial' s Marcy
Gulch wastewater treatment plant (the return flows). The City of Englewood (Englewood) has a
means to re-divert the return flows at Union A venue, and either retain them for use by Englewood or
redeliver same to Centennial. The parties intend that Englewood shall attempt to divert the return
flows , under the circumstances set forth below. and pay Centennial for the return flows if same are
retained by Englewood: and that Centennial will pay Englewood for re-directing the return flows, if
same are redelivered to Centennial. It is anticipated that Englewood will attempt to divert the return
flows at its Union A venue pump station, and either use same immediately in its Allen Treatment
Plant, or exchange same up City Ditch to Mclellan reservoir, in Englewood's discretion.
Therefore, the parties have agreed as follows.
2. Centennial to Give Notice of Availabilitv: Englewood Response.
Centennial will advise Englewood. on a daily basis, of the amount of available return flows at
Englewood 's Union A venue pump station. Englewood will advise Centennial, on a daily basis. of
available return flows Englewood will not be diverting.
3. Englewood to Attempt to Di vert.
Englewood will make reasonable efforts to lawfully divert the return flows at its Union
A venue pump station. Englewood s hall have no obligation to divert: a) if di version would impair
the necessary quality of water introduced into Englewood 's water treatment plant or introduced into
City Ditch for exchange. as determined i n Englewood 's sole di scretion; b) except to the extent that
Englewood determines to use the return flows immediately in its Allen Treatment Plant, plus the
exchange capacity in City Ditch: c) to the extent that the capacity in Englewood's pumping system
after supplying Englewood 's demand is Jess than all of the available return flows . Englewood shall
have no obligation to use the return flows immediately in its Allen Treatment Plant. While
Englewood shall make reasonable efforts to divert the return flows, the parties recognize that various
factors may make diversion impractical, and Englewood shall have no liability to Centen nial for
failure to divert. Englewood will account for return flows diverted at its Union Avenue pump
station.
4. Englewood to Exchange Up Cit v Ditch.
Englewood will make reasonable efforts to exchange the diverted return flows up City Ditch
and into Mclellan Reservoir, via the pump station from City Ditch to Mclellan Reservo ir.
5. Englewood's Option to Acquire Return Flows Delivered to McLellan Reservoir.
Englewood will account for the return flows delivered by exchange to McLellan Reservoir.
Englewood will have the option to acquire the return flows delivered to McLellan Reservoir (and
Englewood will acquire any return flows used immediately in Englewood's Allen Treatment Plant).
Within four days after the end of each week (ending Saturday at midnight) Englewood will notify
Centennial if it wishes to acquire all of the return flows delivered to McLellan during that week.
Englewood will pay Centennial $85 per acre foot for all of the return flows which it acquires, and
pay the pumping costs associated with those return flows. Return flows so acquired by Englewood
shall be treated as Englewood's water for all purposes, and may be used by Englewood or delivered
to Centennial under any agreement between Englewood and Centennial.. Return flows delivered to
McLellan as to which Englewood does not give such notice shall belong to Centennial.
6. Centennial's Pavment for Return Flows Acquired bv Centennial.
Centennial shall acquire all return flows delivered to Mclellan Reservoir that are not
acquired by Englewood. Centennial shall pay Englewood $30 per acre foot of return flows acquired
by Centennial , plus all pumping costs associated with delivery of those return flows to Mclellan
Reservoir.
7 . Temporarv Pumping F acilities from the Forebav Reservoir Next to the Allen
Treatment Plant.
Englewood currently injects granular activated carbon (GAC) into the forebay adjacent to the
South Platte River, from which Englewood's Union Avenue pumping station pumps water to the
Allen Treatment Plant facilities. (The GAC is injected because of the current severe quality
problems in the South Platte River.) The water containing the GAC is blackened in color and
therefore cannot be directly introduced into City Ditch for exchange purposes. Therefore , a
substitute supply of clear water to be exchanged up City Ditch must be pumped into City D itch from
a forebay reservoir adjacent to the Allen Treatment Plant (not to be confused with the forebay at the
river). (Pumping of this substitute supply will be unnecessary if the GAC injection at the river
forebay should cease.) Englewood has no pump and pipe to accomplish the pumping of this
substitute supply from the forebay reservoir . Centennial will provide and install such a pump and
pipe, and hook it up to a power source , at Centennial's sole expense. Englewood and Centennial will
cooperate in determining the location, nature and installation of the pump and pipe. At the end of
this agreement, Centennial will remove the pump, pipe and power hookup at Centenn ial's sole
expense, unless the parties otherwise agree. Centennial will restore any excavation or alteration of
the forebay and surrounding areas, at Centennial's sole expense.
8 . Pumping Costs.
Englewood will reasonably determine pumping costs , which are to include power, other
operation costs , and maintenance.
9. Termination.
Either Englewood or Centennial may terminate this agreement after 5 days written notice to
the other party. If not so terminated, this agreement will terminate at the soonerof0ctober31, 2003,
or the cessation of flows in City Ditch below the Allen Treatment Plant, whichever sooner occurs,
unless the parties otherwise agree.
10. Payment.
Englewood will account for deliveries. Englewood will pay Centennial for return flows
acquired by Englewood within 30 days after the end of the month during which particular deliveries
were made to Englewood. Centennial will pay Englewood within 30 days after the end of the month
during which particular deliveries were made to Centennial.
11. State Engineer.
Centennial will be responsible for any necessary notice to the State Engineer's office,
assuring the State Engineer's office that its return flows are indeed reusable and divertible by
Englewood, and reporting to the State Engineer 's office , in cooperation with Englewood,
12 . Date.
This agreement is dated as of the ____ day of _______ , 2003.

·we have a drought. but what
we really have is a reservoir prob-

watering every third day . but be-
cause cities started them on differ-

confused.

Denver will fall somewhere in be-

sider whether to allow eight or 10
zones of watering at 15 minutes
for each zone.
The two-dav standard seems rea-
so nable for manv cities . said Bart

of the Rockies . It should Jllow res-
ervoirs to start refilling while send-

RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Englewood Water and Sewer Board, at their May 14, 2003 meeting, recommend Council
approval by Ordinance of the storm sewer easement and the water line easement to the
Englewood Environmental Federalt ion.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
Property located at W. Girard Avenue and Englewood Parkway is currently owned by the
Englewood Environmental Foundation, Inc. (EEF). The EEF is selling the property to an
investment group for construction of a medical building, and are satisfying the title company's
requirements to grant easements to the City of Englewood for a storm sewer and water line.
Not all public utilities and ditches are in recorded easements or rights-of-way. In some
sections, they are not in recorded rights-of-way, but in an easement by prescription. As
opportunities arise, the Utilities Department is attempting to acquire easements. Easements
by prescription allow the City to maintain the ditch and utilities as-is, where-is with no
improvements . Formal easements allow the City to make improvements as necessary.
Englewood's City Attorney has reviewed the easements.
FINANCIAL IMPACT

COLORADO REACHES NEAR AVERAGE SNOWPACK
Lakewood, May 2, 2003--According to the most recent data
collected by the Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS), Colorado reached a near average peak snowpack
accumulation during the month of April. The state's peak
snowpack was reached on April 10 only 3 days earlier than
the average date, and was 93 percent of the average peak
accumulation. By May 1 the snowpack within all of the
state's major river basins had reached the seasonal
maximum. The peak accumulation dates varied considerably
across the state. The earliest peak accumulations were
reached back on March 28 in the Arkansas and Rio Grande
basins of southern Colorado, while the late st peak was
reached on April 25 in the South Platte Basin, according
to Allen Green, State Conservationist with the NRCS.
The peak snowpack accumulations provide valuable
information on water supplies for the state. With most of
Colorado's annual water supply originating from snowmelt,
this data is critical for forecasting spring and summer
runoff. "This data tells us what our water 'bank account'
reached this year. We now know how the state's water
users will fare as we tap this account for the remainder
of the heavy demand season," said Green.
Snowpack readings conducted on May 1 indicate the state's
snowpack is beginning to melt at a quick pace. By this
date the statewide snowpack had already dipped to 87
percent of average. While most of Colorado's northern mountains are
reporting a near average to above average snowpack, Colorado's southern
mountains continue to remain firmly within the grip of continued drought
conditions. The lowest snowpack readings were measured across the Rio
Grande, San Juan, Animas, Dolores and San Miguel river basins. A very dry
April, coupled with warm and dry winds, initiated an early melt across the
southwestern Colorado basins. "To only make matters worse, we're seeing
much of that snowrnelt simply soak into the soils before ever reaching the
streams", said Green.
The state's reservoirs continue to lag well below average
as the spring runoff season approaches. Given that most of
the state can expect below average runoff this year, storage volumes are not
anticipated to make a sizable recovery this year. Most of this spring's
runoff will be used in the late summer months, leaving little for carryover
storage into 2004 .

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Agenda Item Subject
Mclellan Deep Well
Rehabilitation
STAFF SOURCE
Stewart H. Fonda, Director of Utilities
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
The original Mclellan pump station was constructed in 1964 .
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Utilities staff recommends Council approval for rehabil itation of the Mclellan deep well
pump to Mclemore Pump in the amount of $63,885.00.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
Prior to 2002 the Mclellan deep well was used intermittently, usually a few days every three to
four months. But due to the drought, this well is currently being used on a continual basis to
meet demands . It was recently discovered that the pump must be lowered deeper in the well
shaft because with continuous use, it overheats and periodically shuts down. It was also
noted that the wire leading from the starter to the pump is inadequate.
When the well was initially constructed , a valve was installed to vary the pumping rate, but with
frequent use this is taxing the motor and piping . A variable frequency drive is proposed to
regulate the motor speed to very flow from the well.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Due to the drought conditions and difficulty obtaining competitive bids from drilling companies,
a sole source bid was received from Mclemore Pump in the amount $63,885.00. for the
rehabilitation of Englewood 's Mclellan deep well. Phil Martin of Martin and Wood reviewed
the bid and agreed with the initial proposal, but had concerns with the second part (comments
attached). The second portion addresses additional work that may be deemed necessary. It
was recommended that any add itional work is addressed with "Not to Exceed" purchase
orders. In his review, Mr. Martin does not anticipate that additional purchase orders will be
necessary.

Re . Deep well repairs and VFD installation. Well # LF-M2, pennit # 042430-F
Don .
We are pleased to submit our estimate for repairs to the deep well pump and installation of a variable
frequency drive unit to maintain constant water level in the water well. We are also submitting on the
axtension of the column line from the existing 937 feet to 1100 feet. The existirg cable, at present, is
marginal for the existing pump setting . Replacement cable would be 350MCM wire size in orde r to
adequately operate the 150 HP 460 Volt submersible motor.
We are estimating costs as follows:
1 Allan Bradley 150 HP 460Volt , 3 Phase, 60 Hertz Variable Frequency Olive
1100 Ft 350MCM submersible cable
168 Ft s.s· column pipe
1100 Ft of%" air line
1100 Ft 1-1/Z' plastic pipe for VFD transducer assembly
1 Level control transducer with 1100 Ft shielded cable
Estimated Labor to pull the existing pump and motor
Estimated labor to dismantle the existing pump repair with new bearings
Estimated labor to reinstall equipment in the well
Estimated laborto install the VFO in the meter vault
Wire splice kit, check valves, cable banding and other fittings as required
Total estimated cost for the above

The above estimate is based on an external visual inspection of the water well site ; meter vault and
existing electrical power supply. All labor and material is subject to revision as required after the pump
is removed from the well and evaluated .

Re : Review of Mclemore Pump Proposal
Well LF-M2 Pump Work
Project Number 159 .1
·As requested, this letter summarizes our review of the Mclemore Pump, Inc . proposal for
work relating to the Cit y of Englewood Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer well LF-M2 . Our
understanding is that the City wishes to upgrade the well pumping equipment to a VFD
installation to replace the pump cab le, and to set the pump somewhat deeper . Funher, this work
will also entail a downhole video survey to allow inspection of the casing and screen so that the
need , if any , for well cleaning or rehabilitation can be assessed . We have reviewed two
proposals from Mclemore. The first , dated February 5, 2003 , covers the new VFD drive , new
cable , additional pipe , pressure transducer , airline , PVC pipe for the transducer, labor for pulling
and resetting the pump , labor to inspect the pump and install new bearings , labor for installing
the VFD , and all miscellaneous fittings and parts required . This proposal totals $63 ,885 .00 . Our
re view of this first proposal indicates that the proposal is for the most part reasonable and
complete with the exception of the 114-inch airline . The pr ice quoted is $1.30/foot which appears
high t o us , but we note that we ha ve not been able to confirm that this is truly the case . It is
noted on the proposal that the contractor ma y re vi se the quote based on any unforeseen
cond itions that are turned up during the pump dismantling and inspection . This is considered
reasonable by us and normal for this type of work .
The second proposal , dated March 18 , 2003 , raises some issues for us . This proposal
extends the prior one to include a downhole video survey , "circulate and clean the well bore",
and conduct a production test. The net overall price for the two combined scopes of work is set
at $1 08,714.00 which means that the three additional items noted would cost some $4 4,829. We
do not question the inclusion of the video survey and suggest that this should cost, based on our
recent experience , in the range of $1,500 to $1,800 . Beyond this , however , we question the other
two items included in the proposa l. First , we defin itely need more information on just what is
meant and included in "circulate and clean the well ". We do not feel that any set of procedures
should be considered until the video log is thoroughl y reviewed and analyzed . Once that has
been done, appropriate methods for cleaning, if an y is required , can be developed and costs
quotes requested. Finally , we do not agree that a pump test should be done on the well pr ior to
resetting the permanent equipment. Unless we are misinterpreting the proposal, it appears that
Mclemore would install a tempora ry test pump and run the test. This is unnecessary and a waste

of time and money . Once the permanent equipment is re-installed, a test can easily be run by
City personnel without the added cost of the temporary pump and the contractor time charges.
To sum up , we basically agree with the first proposal , but have serious questions about
the second. More detailed information as to just what is cont emplated by the contractor should
be obtained before any decisions are made regarding acceptance of this second proposal.
Please let us know if you have any questions concerning our review or the contents of

Construction Easement &
Water Drainage Easement
for the Highline Canal Trail at
Mclellan Reservoir
STAFF SOURCE
Stewart Fonda, Director of Utilities
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
None
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Englewood Water and Sewer Board, at their May 14, 2003 meeting, recommended
Council approval by Ordinance of the Grant of Construction Easement and Intergovernmental
Agreement for Water Drainage Easement of the City of Englewood Property into the Mclellan
Reservoir.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The City of Littleton has submitted a Grant of Construction Easement and Intergovernmental
Agreement for Water Drainage Easement for the Highline Canal and Trail Crossing at County
Line Road. This will enable construction of a hike/bike trail that will cross underneath County
Line Road and continue on the Highline Canal Trail. This is serious safety concern because
hikers and bikers currently cross the busy County Line Road.
Construction of the drainage line will allow removal of seepage from the Highline Canal
beneath the proposed trail to be discharged into the Mclellan Reservoir. A restrictor plate will
be installed in the drainage pipe to minimize the amount of flows that would be allowed to
enter the Mclellan Reservoir. The agreement requires the City of Littleton to monitor
discharge flows for quality concerns. If discharge limits are exceeded, a cease and desist
order would be issued, as per the agreement. This dra inage line is to be used solely for
removing seepage from beneath the newly constructed trail at the Highline Canal, and not to
be used as a storm water discharge point. Disturbed areas will be reseeded with a dry land
pasture seed mix.
The Highline Canal Trail project is to be continued on the south side of County Line Road and
will be submitted to the Englewood/ Mclellan Foundation for approval. Englewood's City
Attorney has reviewed and approved the proposed easements.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The existing barbed wire fence will be removed and Eng lewood will be compensated on a
cost-per-linear-foot basis. An 8' chain line fence will be installed after construction by an
Englewood Utilities contractor.

Re : Well LA-5/UA-5
Geologic Concerns
Project Number 159.12
This letter is a follow up to our conversations last week regarding the conditions
encountered during the drilling of the borehole for the proposed Lower Arapahoe aquifer well
LA-5 located adjacent to the Englewood Golf Course. During drilling we noted an absence of
developed sands in the cuttings samples, but, in our experience, this does not always mean that
the sands are missing . However, when we ran the geophysical logs, it did tum out that the
Lower Arapahoe at this location was almost devoid of sands . A relatively good section of Upper
Arapahoe sand was noted and it was decided to complete the well as an Upper Arapahoe well .
An emergency request to the State Engineer's Office ("SEO") was called in, and , after a brief
meeting, the permit was issued .
The background on the events at the LA-5 site starts with the SEO maps that were
developed in support of Senate Bill 5 in 1985. The maps present aquifer data for all the Denver
Basin aquifers and they are commonly utilized in determining the annual appropriations for the
aquifers. They present aquifer top and bottom elevat ions, and, most importantly, saturated
thicknesses . This is the composite thickness of the water bearing materials (sandstones and
siltstones) in a particular aquifer. The maps are based on interpretations of geophysical logs
from other wells penetrating the aquifer of interest I n this regard , they are estimates and
interpolations subject to the well known variation that can and does occur in the presence,
thickness, and quality of the water bearing materials in the aquifers .
When we first examined the conditions underlying the proposed LA-5 site, we examined
the SEO maps and noted a saturated thickness value of roughly 75-feet estimated for the site
area. However, a further review of some other geophysical logs in the area indicated that as
much as 120-feet might be present On the basis of the SEO maps, we estimated that a well
producing from the Lower Arapahoe at this site might produce as much as 200 gallons per
minute ("gpm"). The additional sand thickness, if it were present, would only add to the likely
production. So, the available information we had indicated that the LA-5 site should be a
satisfactory location at which to construct a well.
Mr. Stewart Fonda
May 14, 2003
Page Two
Before turning to the actual conditions encountered, we note the sandstones and siltstones
in the Lower Arapahoe aquifer originated as stream channel deposits that meandered across the
landscape. Over time, the deposits tend to stack up into a combined section of sandstones
interbedded with claystones . Typically, the sands will predominate, but in some areas, due to the
specific conditions existing at the time of deposition, the stream channels were not present or
were not well developed and all that is present is a series of claystones. This is the case at the
LA-5 site. The only way to describe it is through the term "extremely bad luck", as it is our
experience that the Lower Arapahoe tends to be a good producing aquifer throughout all the area
it underlies . There was no data indicating that the conditions would be as encountered and that
the conditions at this particular spot would be so negative.
Once we had reviewed the geophysical logs, we felt there were three choices . Abandon
the project altogether, drill down to the underlying Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer, or complete the
well as an Upper Arapahoe well. The first choice did not make sense, as we had the strong
likelihood of being able to develop a producing well from one of the other aquifers . The
Laramie-Fox Hills was a choice that would likely provide the greatest volume of water, but this
would be offset by water quality issues . After discussions with you and your staff it was
determined that the quality problems were severe enough as to preclude this as a viable option
for either golf course use or for municipal use by the City. This left the Upper Arapahoe well as
the remaining choice.
Thus the well was completed as an Upper Arapahoe aquifer well . To accomplish this, the
contractor had to fill the borehole back up to the separating layer between the Lower and Upper
Arapahoe and then place a cement grout plug opposite the separating layer (this is required by
the SEO). From there, the well was completed as usual , with well screen placed opposite the
sandstones of the Upper Arapahoe . While the amount of sandstones Jogged in the Upper was a
less than anticipated for the Lower Arapahoe, we estimate that the well as completed should be
able to produce at least 50-60 gpm on a continuous basis . This equates to approximately 80 to
95 acre-feet per year. This volume of water will be of great assistance to the Golf Course. We
note that the shallower completion of the UA-5 well will result in some cost savings over the
original estimate, although the extra materials for backfilling the borehole and the grout plug will
offset the construction related savings somewhat. An additional economic benefit will likely
come with the pumping unit installation which can be expected to be smaller in size, and
demanding less power to operate.
For future wells in these aquifers, given this unexpected experience, it might be wise to
consider starting with a test hole prior to actually mobilizing for the larger construction program.
This could be accomplished by advancing a small diameter hole and then running the
geophysical logs . If the conditions in the aquifer appeared favorable, then a production well
could be constructed. The costs to carry out such a test hole would be dependent upon the actual
depths involved. We are currently discussing the likely estimated costs with a drilling contractor
but do not yet have the final numbers .
