RE: Range View Estates, 203 MS 25
Dear Ms Williams:
The State Engineer’s Office/Ground Water Division received application material related to the
proposed Range View Estates Minor Subdivision from the Lincoln Planning Office requesting
information and advice.
The proposed subdivision is to be located in the NESE of Section 15, T31N, R119W, Lincoln
County, Wyoming. This proposal involves subdividing approximately 26.95 acres into 5
residential lots of approximately 5.39 acres each. Based upon the review of both the subdivision
application and a preliminary search of the agency’s water rights database, the State Engineer’s
Office offers the following:
The water right search revealed that there are no water rights of record that attach to the subdivision lands
that specifically are required to be addressed under Wyoming Statute 18-5-36(a)(xi).
Additional Comments:
1. An approved permit from the State Engineer’s Office is required prior to the drilling of any
water well. The procurement of the necessary and appropriate State Engineer water right
permit allows the applicant to attempt to develop a water supply adequate to meet their
proposed needs, and is no guarantee that any water will be physically available.
2. If any new wells are proposed, they must be constructed in accordance with the State
Engineer’s Office Rules and Regulations, Part III, Water Well Minimum Construction
Standards.
Surface Water Ground Water Board of Control
(307) 777-6475 (307) 777-6163 (307) 777-6178

3. With few exceptions, new wells must be constructed by a Wyoming licensed water well
drilling contractor, and pumps must be installed by a Wyoming licensed pump installation
contractor.
4. Any well not to be used must be properly plugged and abandoned as outlined in the above
referenced rules and regulations.
5. Any wells developed for uses that do NOT fall within the definition of domestic or stock use
require adjudication by the Board of Control.
In all correspondence regarding this application, please reference “State Engineer Subdivision
Review Number 2025-5-12”.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (307) 777-2975, or if you prefer
email, at sue.kinsley@wyo.gov. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the subdivision
application.
Sincerely,
