Nine wells were located in alluvium throughout the ski area in search of ground water. Western Technologies (1987) logged four wells drilled in 1987 but the remaining five wells have no known logs. Western's report indicates that the nine wells range from 158 to 292 feet deep and yield from
thickness of alluvium) from one location to another in the channel. SE~ Field Investigation of Closest Non-Applicant Wells The closest water right owners to ski Rio are those in the Rio Costilla Valley near Amalia 2,000 feet lower in elevation (Figure 11). These rights are situated in an aquifer system probably influenced primarily by the flows of the Rio costilla and to a certain extent by contributions from tributaries to the river valley. Cordova Creek is one of those tributaries. Very little downhole data exists for wells in the Amalia area as drillers have failed to submit well logs for the numerous wells of the area. SEQ staff gathered water level data for nine wells (Table confluence of Cordova Creek and 8) in the vicinity of the the Rio costilla in April, 1988. The wells ranged in depth from 25 to 160 feet with water at 4 to 18 feet BLS. The wells are emplaced in alluvial sediments deposited by the river. Joe Arguello, of Arguello Drilling, suggested (personal communication) alluvial valley sediments are extensive and that none of the wells of the area had penetrated the entire thickness. 8
