Academy to close its doors for good

Park City out of the picture

After a 15 year run, the Crested Butte Academy is closing. Despite recent last ditch efforts to keep the school going, it is not moving to Park City or looking for a new space in Crested Butte. According to Gary Garland, one of the owners of the Academy, “the school is not moving to Utah and it is not staying in Crested Butte. It is closing down. We notified all our employees and there won’t be a Crested Butte Academy this year.” Read More »

The names, address of applicant, source of water, description of water right or conditional water right involved, and description of the ruling sought are as follows:
CASE NO. 2008CW71 IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF HENDERSON CREEK, LLC IN GUNNISON COUNTY, COLORADO.  APPLICATION FOR SURFACE WATER RIGHTS, and AMENDMENT OF PLAN OF AUGMENTATION.  I.  NAME, ADDRESS, AND TELEPHONE NUMBER OF APPLICANT:  Henderson Creek, LLC
21759 Cabrini Blvd., Golden, Colorado 80401, 303-526-9126  II.  APPLICATION FOR SURFACE WATER RIGHTS  A.  Henderson Creek, LLC Spring Enlargement No. 1.
1.  Name of Structure:  HCL Spring Enlargement No. 1.  2.  Legal Description of Point of Diversion:    In the NW1/4 SE1/4, Section 2, Township 11 South, Range 90 West, 6th P.M. approximately 1,500 feet from the east section line of said Section 2, and 1,700 feet from the south section line of said Section 2. (See attached Figure 1 Map).   3. Source:  Natural seeps and springs tributary to Henderson Creek, tributary to East Muddy Creek, tributary to the North Fork of the Gunnison River.  4.  Date of Initiation of Appropriation:  May 1, 1996.   5.  Amount Claimed:  0.75 cfs, absolute.  6.  Uses: Diversion to storage for fish propagation, piscatorial, recreational and augmentation purposes, and for the fill and refill of the Applicant’s water storage rights in the  HCL Pond A, HCL Pond B, HCL Pond C, HCL Cascades, and HCL Pond D decreed in Case No. 04CW201.  7.  Remarks:  HCL Spring Enlargement No. 1 is located and the waters therefrom stored and used exclusively upon land owned by the Applicant.  III. APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION  A.  Amendment:  Applicant wishes to amend that augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 04CW201 to include the HCL Spring Enlargement No. 1 as an augmented structure and source of augmentation water.  B.  Names of Structures to be Augmented:    HCL Spring Enlargement No. 1 in addition to the Henderson Creek Diversion, the HCL Spring, HCL Pond A, HCL Pond B, HCL Pond C, HCL Cascade Ponds, and HCL Pond D as decreed in Case No. 04CW201.  C.  Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation:  HCL Spring Enlargement No. 1 in addition to the HCL Pond Diversion, HCL Spring, and HCL Pond D as decreed in Case No. 04CW201.  D.  Historic Use.  Since its appropriation, the water from HCL Spring Enlargement No. 1 has been used for storage, recreation, fish propagation, and piscatorial uses in HCL Pond A, HCL Pond B, HCL Pond C, and the HCL Cascades on the Applicant’s Property, with return flows returning to Henderson Creek.  As this junior water right is undecreed pending approval of this application, no diversion records exist.  E.  Statement of Plan of Augmentation.  1.  Depletions:  As decreed in case 04CW201, the depletions associated with HCL Pond A, HCL Pond B, HCL Pond C, and the HCL Cascades on the Applicant’s Property are due solely to evaporative loss.  Applicant’s engineer has determined that the combined surface area for all existing storage structures is 0.71 acres, while the surface area of the HCL Pond D augmentation pond is approximately 0.95 acres, for a total surface area of 1.66 acres.  Applicant’ s engineer has determined the total annual evaporative loss from these structures for a dry year to be 5.53 acre feet, as shown in attached Tables 2 & 3.
2.  On-Site Augmentation.    The on-site augmentation source is supplied through releases from the HCL Pond D, when a call is placed on the stream during the irrigation season.  Releases will be made through an outlet structure from the pond and into Henderson Creek, located immediately adjacent to the HCL Augmentation Pond.  Henderson Creek is believed to be a perennial stream at this location, and transit losses are assumed to be zero, given the proximity of the HCL Pond D augmentation structure to Henderson Creek.  The Division of Water Resources will determine the schedule of releases. Under the requested amendment, the HCL Pond D will be filled to its 3.8 acre foot capacity by the HCL Pond Diversion, the HCL Spring Enlargement No. 1, and the HCL Spring via HCL Cascades, HCL Pond A, HCL Pond B and HCL Pond C when in priority, and will subsequently release water as required by the Division of Water Resources to augment evaporative losses from those structures when out-of-priority.  E.  All land upon which water is to be diverted, stored or released pursuant to this  Application is owed by Applicant.  GUNNISON COUNTY

—NOTICE OF GUNNISON COUNTY AND BLM ROAD CLOSURES—
Gunnison County, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the United States Forest Service (USFS) have temporarily closed a number of roads to all motor vehicles to protect Gunnison Sage-grouse during their mating season and to prevent road damage during wet spring conditions. These roads were closed March 15 and will reopen on May 15, 2008. Copies of the closure list and maps are available at Gunnison County Public Works, 811 Rio Grande Avenue; Gunnison County Administration Office, 200 E. Virginia Ave; Colorado Division of Wildlife Office, 300 W. New York; and the Bureau of Land Management/USFS Office, 216 N. Colorado; Gunnison, Colorado. These closures apply to all motor vehicles. Do not park at the closures in a manner that blocks access through the closure gates. For additional information call Gunnison County Public Works at 641-0044; the Gunnison County Sage-grouse Conservation Coordinator at 641-7604; or the BLM at 641-0471. The cooperation of the public is required to successfully implement these road closures. The closures will aid in the preservation of the Gunnison Sage-grouse and may assist in reducing impacts on residents and visitors of Gunnison County from a possible Federal listing of the grouse under provisions of the Endangered Species Act. The public also should be aware of other closures in the Gunnison Basin that have been implemented to protect wildlife during this severe winter: The Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) has implemented a Temporary Emergency Closure of all Hunting and Wildlife Related Activities, through May 15, 2008. The CDOW may be contacted at 970-641-7060 for additional information. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the United States Forest Service have closed some public lands to all public use, including motorized and non-motorized uses, also through May 15, 2008. Contact BLM or the USFS at 970-641-0471 for specific information on these closures.
