Blystone Subject:FW: CILWR Braxton Office Tim, Here is the solvent site and CILWR correspondence. Alex Edwards, Civil Engineer TD&H Engineering From: Alex J. Edwards Sent: Thursday, June 8, 2023 1:21 PM To: Baumgardner, Shannon <Shannon.Baumgardner@mt.gov> Cc: Griffin Nielsen <GNielsen@BOZEMAN.NET> Subject: RE: CILWR Braxton Office The solvent site was cited by the City in site plan review comments, and they indicated that no new wells could be drilled within the solvent site boundary. I did not check the boundary so thank you for looking at that for me. It appears the exisƟng well falls outside of the solvent site so their comment should not have any bearing on the exisƟng well. I have seen this before on previous projects for dewatering applicaƟons. When a porƟon of the project falls within the BSS boundary the City opts on the side of cauƟon, but aŌer working with DEQ they idenƟfied the boundary and did not require any restricƟons on our permit. I believe we are in a similar situaƟon with the use of this well.

Edwards <Alex.Edwards@tdhengineering.com> Cc: Griffin Nielsen <GNielsen@BOZEMAN.NET> Subject: RE: CILWR Braxton Office Alex – Are you confident that the well is in the Bozeman Solvent Site (BSS)? According to the GWIC, the well is located just outside the BSS. See the map at the boƩom of this email (well is a small red cross, BSS boundary is a translucent orange, and the property is a translucent green). Generally, if an irrigaƟon water right predates the BSS it is OK to conƟnue to use it for irrigaƟon. In this case the water right was issued aŌer the BSS was created. This may be explained by the fact that the well is not in the BSS. I did not see any menƟon of the BSS in the water rights file. Thank you, 2 Shannon _______________________ Shannon Baumgardner, Ph.D. Hydrologist/Water Resource Specialist MT DNRC Water Resources 2273 Boot Hill Court, Suite 110 Bozeman, MT 59715 (406) 556-4537 Shannon.Baumgardner@mt.gov 3 From: Alex J.

I have aƩached the water right cert for the subject property. The site does fall within the Bozeman solvent site but appears to have an acƟve water right for irrigaƟon. Please let us know if we can use the on-site well for irrigaƟon.

The preliminary CILWR fee is $2,913. Before we finalize the fee we’ll need confirmaƟon from the DNRC authorizing use of the exisƟng well otherwise we’ll need to roll the irrigaƟon demand into the fee. Here is our online repository for design reports: hƩps://weblink.bozeman.net/WebLink/Browse.aspx?id=121565&dbid=0&repo=bozeman&cr=1 [weblink.bozeman.net]. At a quick glance, I didn’t see the original PUD reports but that’s not to say they aren’t in there. We’ve been trying to digiƟze old hard copy reports but the process is been slow. You might check in with the development review engineer assigned to the project to see if they have beƩer luck.

AddiƟonally, we will be projecƟng demands for the office building and would like to reference the original design report used for the PUD submiƩal, but we are having a hard Ɵme tracking that down. Do you happen to have the original design report for water/sewer/storm on file?

The project is a site plan that falls within the greater 1001 W Oak Site Plan (COB #22182). I have attached two plan sheets. The first is the approved W Oak Site plan and the second is the building that is being proposed for the Braxton Office building in the SW corner of the development. The proposed building has a footprint of 8,060 and 7,758 SF for the first and second levels respectively for a total of 15,818 SF. The full footprint is proposed for office space. We are requesting a determination of CILWR for domestic demands. There is a well on site that will be used for Irrigation. I would also like to know if you can provide the status of the existing water rights tied to the property and any agreements that were made for the overall site plan that may impact our use. Please let me know if you require any additional information to make this determination. Thanks, Alex Edwards, PE l Civil Engineer/Principal TD&H Engineering 234 E.
