We anticipate the use of this facility will be the same as the use of the kitchen in the present ranch house retreat facility, that is the monastery itself will not provide any food service for the retreatants. The groups that are on retreat bring their own food and prepare it and serve it themselves. We simply provide the facilities and equipment such as refrigerator, stoves, etc. If you have any further questions about the use of the retreat house kitchen, please do not hesitate to call me.

Dear Bob, NOV - 6 1992 1 ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ASPEN/PITKIN From our meeting on 11-4-92 the topic of the retreat center acting as a food service establishment, or not was presented to Father Joseph Boyle of the monastery. His response is indicated in a letter addressed to me dated 11-4-92. This letter seems to satisfy the issues that it will not be operated by the Monks as a food service establishment, and will not act as a food storage area. I have included this letter for your files. I hope that this information is enough to establish water and waste calculations in order to satisfy the requirements of water usage defined as 1300 gallons per day. Please contact me if there are any further questions.

A list of water rights purportedly owned by the St. Benedict's Monastery are attached as Exhibit "A" to this correspondence. Inclusive within the list is the St. Benedict's Monastery Pipeline and Tank's water right originally accorded Structure No. 566 and Water District Priority No. 780. This water right was decreed in Civil Action No. 5884, Garfield County District Court, on November 5, 1971, with an appropriation date of April 29, 1961, for 0.10 cfs, absolute, with the right to construct storage tanks to a capacity of 0.0145 a.f. The decreed uses for this water right encompass domestic, fire protection and irrigation of lawns "about the buildings" of the St. Benedict's Monastery. The improvements to be constructed upon the property consist of a retreat center complex to accommodate uses and people that already exist upon the property. In other words, additional water consuming demand is not contemplated by the Applicant. We have engaged in a limited review of the hydrologic regime of Lower Capital Creek and Snowmass Creek and find that a 1971 water right should be able to provide an adequate legal water supply in all years. Moreover, since the water right was decreed in 1971 as an absolute water right, the water right is a beneficiary of Senate Document 80, Act of August 9, 1937, 50 Stat. 564 authorizing the construction and operation of Green Mountain Reservoir, a federal reservoir and component of the Colorado Big Thompson Project. As such, releases will be made by exchange for the benefit of the subject water right to avoid administrative curtailment by a water right on the mainstem of the Colorado River. J y r KEVIN L. PATRICK, P. C. Ms. Jo Anna Schaffner November 16, 1992 Page 2 From the foregoing we believe that a legal water supply plan presently exists for the uses described in the Resolution and therefore we believe that this information provides a complete satisfaction of the requirements of paragraph 14 of the above- described Resolution. If after reviewing these matters you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. Very truly yours, KEVIN L. PATRICK, P.C.

Division 38 We have received additional information related to the above referenced proposal to establish a monastery retreat center on a 3200 acre parcel. Although no information on water requirements was presented, the applicants attorney has stated that water would be supplied under the Saint Benedict's Pipeline and Tanks, which were decreed for a diversion rate 0.10 CFS or 45 gallons per minute, and 0.0145 acre feet or 4,725 gallons of storage for the tanks. In Water Court Case Number 83CW357, 0.0156 CFS or 7 gallons per minute of divE!rsion was moved to the Saint Benedicts Well, operating under permit number 134601. With 24 hour pumping this well could produce 10,080 gallons per day.
