Concerning The Implementation Of Recommendation Number One Set Forth In The Study Of The South Platte River Alluvial Aquifer Prepared By The Colorado Water Institute Pursuant To House Bill 12-1278.

Water Resources Review Committee. Section 1 requires the Colorado water conservation board, in consultation with the state engineer, to administer 2 pilot projects in the areas of Gilcrest/LaSalle and Sterling to evaluate 2 alterative methods of lowering the water table in areas that are experiencing damaging high groundwater levels.

Section 2 of the bill authorizes the state engineer to review an augmentation plan submitted to a water court if it includes the construction of a recharge structure. The water court may approve the augmentation plan only if the state engineer either approves the operation and design of the proposed recharge structure after having determined that the application is not likely to cause injury or proposes changes to the operation and design of the proposed recharge structure as terms and conditions of the application.
