DWR's record ties this well to the parcel

Could I lose it, and by when?

From DWR's records Depends

It depends on the aquifer

The well is built but has no final permit on record in the UPPER BLACK SQUIRREL CREEK designated basin; if it draws from the alluvium or another unconsolidated aquifer, a conditional permit that isn't finalized can lapse, and if it draws from a bedrock aquifer, no final permit is needed.

Why, who decides and sources

Why

DWR records the well as constructed with no final permit.

Who decides

The Ground Water Commission.

Sources

Law

  • C.R.S. 37-90-105(3)(e)(II)
    "Effective July 1, 2006, wells for which permits have been granted or may be granted shall be constructed within two years after the permit is issued, which time may be extended for successive years at the discretion of the state engineer for good cause shown."
  • HB25-1014 (2025), summary as enacted
    "The act extends the time frame for construction of a well to 2 years ... The act also removes the requirement that the commission or state engineer must mail a certified letter to the permit holder before a permit can be formally expired. The act allows the commission or state engineer to reinstate an expired permit if the applicant for reinstatement of the permit can show that the well was completed in a timely manner and submits a $30 fee."
  • DWR Guideline 2023-1 (Amended) §11
    A well must only be used for those uses listed on the well permit.

Not shut off by stream calls

The UPPER BLACK SQUIRREL CREEK is a designated groundwater basin, where the Ground Water Commission sets the limits.

Is anyone filing nearby who could hurt me, and what's my objection deadline?

From the public record Settled

No, no water court application naming this section is open for objection

Who decides

Records

Am I in compliance?

From DWR's records Settled

Follow the Upper Black Squirrel district's rules

They set metering, spacing and use limits on this well.

Why, who decides and sources

Why

The well is inside the Upper Black Squirrel groundwater management district.

The figures

  • Designated basin management district: The district's rules on spacing, meters and annual withdrawal apply, and a change of use or a new well needs the Ground Water Commission. Inside the program's area: in the UPPER BLACK SQUIRREL CREEK designated basin, UPPER BLACK SQUIRREL. Ask the management district and the Ground Water Commission.

Who decides

The Upper Black Squirrel district and the Ground Water Commission.

Sources

Law

  • Commission Rule 12.1 (as quoted in designated_basins.md)
    No person shall divert designated groundwater if the diversion violates any applicable Rule.
  • Upper Black Squirrel Creek GWMD Rule 20.A
    "Any owner of a well permitted to make withdrawals from the alluvial aquifer within the District may initiate a call against wells within the District that are junior in priority."
  • Central Yuma GWMD Rule 18.1 (amended effective March 21, 2013)
    "In the case of any well owner who pumps more water in a given year than is allowed by any well permit, the District will require a future payback of 2 acre-feet of water for every acre-foot of over-pumping, unless modified pursuant to Rule 18.2. Such payback will be implemented by curtailment of future pumping from such well(s) beginning in the year following the year of violation"

Records

What would it take to change its use or sell it?

State law decides this Settled

With DWR's approval, the permit can't move to other land or new uses without a new or changed permit

A tributary well also needs a water court decree.

Why, who decides and sources

Why

A well permit is issued for its location and uses.

Who decides

DWR, and the water court for a tributary well.

Law
