PZC
6. The existing building owned by Toni Earling on the corner of County Road 190 and County Road 191 has a second access on the south side of the property that must be removed prior to
Final Plat approval.
7. The Final Plat shall be updated to include the following: a. Depiction of Wellhead Protection Zone 2.
b. A 250 foot buffer where no septics are allowed based on the 538 foot zone radius for the Zone of Contribution for Public Supply Well Grover #2 on the north end of Lot 1. c. Plat Warning as required by DEQ:
The northern lots of the Golden Acres Subdivision are located within the calculated Zone of Contribution for Public Supply Well Grover #2, as defined by Wyoming’s Wellhead Protection (WHP) Program. Based on the WDEQ Groundwater Division review, the calculated capture zone radius for Grover #2 is 538 feet, according to the
WDEQ Groundwater review, a 250-foot buffer will be necessary on the north end of Lots 1 and 18 or enhanced treatment will be required within the Zone of Contribution of the Public Water Supply well. This increase of 100 feet accounts for the difference between the WDEQ's calculated capture radius for Grover #2 and the radius that was determined in the Golden Acres Subdivision application of 413
feet.
In addition to this buffer, enhanced treatment is required for all absorption systems located within the WHP defined Attenuation Zone (Zone 2) of Grover #2. Lots falling completely or partially within this zone include: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15,
and 18. The boundaries of Public Water Supply protection zones can be obtained
from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality Water Quality Division or the appropriate county planning office and must be consulted during the planning and design of any absorption system to determine whether enhanced treatment is required. d. Plat Warning as required by Lincoln County Planning Staff:
Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, may fall within the Zone 2 Wellhead Protection Area and if so,
they shall provide additional treatment and obtain an individual permit to construct from Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality and will require that a PE sign, stamp, and date the application. The treatment system shall be designed to reduce the nitrates to less than 10 mg/L of NO3- as N and provide 4-log removal of pathogens
before the discharge leaves the property boundary of each small wastewater system.
e. The cross section depicted on the Preliminary Plat shall be updated as shown in the Typical Section drawing if File # 602 PZ 25 is adopted in the Land Use Regulations. f. The plat shall contain a note indicating if lots in the subdivision may be divided in the future.
g. The following Grant of Easements shall be added to the plat:
that the owners and proprietors have laid out and had surveyed Golden Acres
Subdivision, as shown hereon, and with the specific intent to do so, do hereby grant and convey to Lincoln County for the public use forever an easement over the [named roads] as they are laid out and designated hereon;
that the easements for future connectivity roads as they are laid out and designated
hereon become vested to Lincoln County for public use forever upon actual development of an adjoining parcel with a similar connecting road as evidenced by
705 MA 25
PZC
an approved preliminary subdivision plat noting, however, that such easements cannot be utilized as primary access to the future subdivision, unless primary access
is negotiated between the future developer and the owners of this subdivision as
evidenced by a written agreement;
that said granting and conveying of the above-described public easements in no way obligates the Lincoln County Commissioners to construct or maintain such roads nor
does it relieve the developer of the obligation to construct or maintain
such road(s) according to the requirements of the Lincoln County Subdivision
Regulations; that the easements shown hereon identical with [named roads] and a ten (10) foot
strip along the sides and rear of each lot are hereby granted to all utility companies,
their heirs, successors and assigns, including, but not limited to, Lower Valley Energy
and Silver Star Communications, for the underground installation and maintenance of all utilities including, but not limited to, water, sewer, power, telephone, cable television, gas, storm water, drainage and irrigation facilities appurtenant to this
subdivision and appurtenant to the adjoining lands of the undersigned;
8. Prior to final plat, the developer shall provide evidence of submission to the State Engineer’s Office of water rights disposition.
BACKGROUND:
This subdivision is Phase I of the Golden Acres Master Plan – Preliminary Plat. For water and septic, Planning Staff reached out to the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) regarding clarification of the Plat Warning from the Non-Adverse Finding. Adam Keifenheim, DEQ’s new
Southwest Wyoming District Engineer, indicated that he will be revising the notes to be added to the
final plat to simplify them. This is currently in review within DEQ and hopefully will be available prior to August 6th. The reason for needed clarification for plat warnings is that much of this subdivision is within the
Wellhead Protection Zone 2, and all of it overlies an unconfined Class I groundwater. (Class I
groundwater is suitable for domestic use, while Class II is suitable for agriculture and Class III is fit for livestock.) While the Department of Environmental Quality’s Plat Warning requires enhanced treatment, Lincoln County has adopted in the Land Use Regulations Appendix E the State of Wyoming’s Chapter 25 Small Wastewater Design Standards which requires a Professional Engineer sign, stamp and date the
application for an engineered enhanced treatment for Wellhead Protection Zones which will reduce
nitrates and removes pathogens. It reads on page 25-8 of Appendix E: “Small wastewater systems that discharge to the same aquifer that supplies a public water supply well and are located within Zone 1 or 2 (Attenuation) of the public water supply well, as determined by
Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality Source Water Assessment Project (2004) or as
established in Section 2 of the Wyoming Wellhead Protection Guidance Document
(1997), shall provide additional treatment. These systems will be required to obtain an individual permit to construct and will require that a PE sign, stamp, and date the application, as stated in Section 2 of
705 MA 25
PZC
this chapter. The additional treatment shall be in accordance with Chapter 3 Section 2(b)(ii). The treatment system shall be designed to reduce the nitrates to less than 10 mg/L of NO3- as N and provide
4-log removal of pathogens before the discharge leaves the property boundary of each small wastewater
system.” AGENCY CORRESPONDENCE:
County Engineer: I want to ensure that the construction of the new subdivision road facilitates the
creation of a proper T-intersection at this junction. This verification may require coordination with the
Road & Bridge department, as it's important to prevent potential drainage issues and complications with snow plowing.
County Engineer response to PZC proposed 4-way intersection: I am addressing the proposed
intersection of County Road 190 and County Road 191, which the Planning & Zoning Board has
recommended be a four-way stop. To ensure that the proposed changes at the new intersection effectively improve both safety and traffic
flow, considering the existing conditions and anticipated future usage, I would like to outline some
necessary requirements. It is recommended that the Developer provide comprehensive Engineering
Drawings, Staking, and As-Built drawings for this project. These documents are crucial for ensuring proper alignment, effective drainage, and that all safety concerns are thoroughly addressed during the construction process. It is imperative that a Wyoming Registered Engineer prepares these documents.
Furthermore, the Developer will be responsible for verifying that all design criteria adhere to AASHTO
standards for low-volume roads. This includes ensuring appropriate sight distance, proper signage, and effective traffic control measures are in place. As a reminder, both County Road 190 and County Road 191 maintain a 66-foot Right-of-Way. The four-way intersection itself shall be paved to the right-of-way
to facilitate a smooth transition from a paved to a gravel surface. State Engineer's Office: The State Engineer’s Office has reviewed the subdivision application and conducted a preliminary examination of the agency’s water rights database. Based on this review and W.S. 18-5-306, we have determined that there are potential irrigated acres associated with the
subdivision lands under permits P124.0E, P809.0E, P110.0E and T98. These irrigated acres must be
addressed per Statute. The subdivider is legally obligated to address these irrigated acres and take the
necessary actions to ensure compliance with W.S. 18-5-306(a)(xi). As of the date of this correspondence, The State Engineer’s Office has NOT received documentation regarding the water rights disposition (W.S. 18-5-306(a)(xi)(A)).
Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ): The subdivision does overly an unconfined
Class I groundwater as defined by WQR Chapter 8 Rules. The information submitted addresses the safety and adequacy of the proposed sewage system, provided the statements indicated in the “Notes required to be added to the final plat” are adhered to.
NOTES REQUIRED TO BE ADDED TO THE FINAL PLAT: The northern lots of the Golden Acres Subdivision are located within the calculated Zone
of Contribution for Public Supply Well Grover #2, as defined by Wyoming’s Wellhead
705 MA 25
PZC
Protection (WHP) Program. Based on the WDEQ Groundwater Division review, the calculated capture zone radius for Grover #2 is 538 feet, according to the WDEQ
Groundwater review, a 250-foot buffer will be necessary on the north end of Lots 1 and
18 or enhanced treatment will be required within the Zone of Contribution of the Public Water Supply well. This increase of 100 feet accounts for the difference between the WDEQ's calculated capture radius for Grover #2 and the radius that was determined in the Golden Acres Subdivision application of 413 feet.
In addition to this buffer, enhanced treatment is required for all absorption systems located
within the WHP defined Attenuation Zone (Zone 2) of Grover #2. Lots falling completely or partially within this zone include: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 18. The boundaries of Public Water Supply protection zones can be obtained from the Wyoming
Department of Environmental Quality Water Quality Division or the appropriate county
planning office and must be consulted during the planning and design of any absorption
system to determine whether enhanced treatment is required. Grover Water & Sewer District: Grover Water & Sewer has a moratorium on any new connections to
our water system due to our system having more connections currently than it was designed for.

Hi Liz,
Could you please verify the T-intersection between CR 190, CR 191s, and the new Subdivision
Road Golden Acre Loop? I want to ensure that the construction of the new subdivision road
facilitates the creation of a proper T-intersection at this junction.
This verification may require coordination with the Road & Bridge department, as it's
important to prevent potential drainage issues and complications with snow plowing. At least
it's a relatively low-volume road.
Thanks,
Amy Butler, P.E.

Agency Comment
To: Elizabeth Williams
From: Amy Butler
July 28, 2025
RE: 704 MA 25 Golden Acres Major Subdivision I am addressing the proposed intersection of County Road 190 and County Road 191, which the
Planning & Zoning Board has recommended be a four-way stop.
To ensure that the proposed changes at the new intersection effectively improve both safety and traffic flow, considering the existing conditions and anticipated future usage, I would like to outline some necessary requirements. It is recommended that the Developer provide
comprehensive Engineering Drawings, Staking, and As-Built drawings for this project. These
documents are crucial for ensuring proper alignment, effective drainage, and that all safety concerns are thoroughly addressed during the construction process. It is imperative that a Wyoming Registered Engineer prepares these documents.
Furthermore, the Developer will be responsible for verifying that all design criteria adhere to
AASHTO standards for low-volume roads. This includes ensuring appropriate sight distance, proper signage, and effective traffic control measures are in place. As a reminder, both County Road 190 and County Road 191 maintain a 66-foot Right-of-Way. The four-way intersection itself shall be paved to the right-of-way to facilitate a smooth transition from a
paved to a gravel surface.
Thank you for your attention to these important details.

RE: Golden Acres Subdivision WDEQ 2025-0134
Dear Commissioners:
The Ground Water Division of the State Engineer’s Office has received application materials
pertaining to the Golden Acres Subdivision WDEQ 2025-0134 from the Wyoming Department
of Environmental Quality, requesting information and advice to the Water Quality Division.
The aforementioned subdivision is proposed to be situated within the NE¼SW¼ and SE¼NW¼
and SW¼NW¼ of Township 32 North, Range 118 West, Lincoln County, Wyoming. The
subdivision comprises 19 single-family residential lots. The proposed water supply consists of
on-lot wells.
The State Engineer’s Office has reviewed the subdivision application and conducted a
preliminary examination of the agency’s water rights database. Based on this review and W.S.
18-5-306, we have determined that there are potential irrigated acres associated with the
subdivision lands under permits P124.0E, P809.0E, P110.0E and T98. These irrigated acres
must be addressed per Statute.
The subdivider is legally obligated to address these irrigated acres and take the necessary actions
to ensure compliance with W.S. 18-5-306(a)(xi). As of the date of this correspondence, The State
Engineer’s Office has NOT received documentation regarding the water rights disposition (W.S.
18-5-306(a)(xi)(A)). For detailed guidance on the legal obligations and procedural steps
necessary to address these irrigated acres, please refer to item 6 below.
Additional Comments:
1. Drilling of any water well requires an approved permit before work commences. The
State Engineer water right permit grants the applicant the right to seek to develop a water
supply to meet the proposed needs. It does not guarantee that water will be physically
available.
Surface Water Ground Water Board of Control
(307) 777-6475 (307) 777-6163 (307) 777-6178
2. Any new proposed wells must be constructed in strict compliance with the State
Engineer’s Office Rules and Regulations, Part III, Water Well Minimum Construction
Standards.
3. With limited exceptions, a Wyoming licensed water well drilling contractor must drill and
construct new wells, and a Wyoming licensed pump installation contractor must install
pumps.
4. Any well not intended for use must be appropriately plugged and abandoned in
accordance with the aforementioned rules and regulations.
5. Any wells developed for purposes that are not encompassed by the definition of domestic
or stock use mandate adjudication by the Board of Control.
6. The water right search revealed existing water rights associated with the subdivided
lands. These water rights must be addressed as stipulated in W.S. 18-5-306(a)(xi).
Wyoming Statute 18-5-306(a)(xi):
(xi) With respect to any water rights appurtenant to lands to be subdivided in accordance with this chapter
and prior to final approval of the subdivision permit, the subdivider shall provide the following:
(A) The intended disposition of the water rights, by:
(I) Written documentation from the state engineer or the state board of control that the subdivider
submitted to the state engineer or the state board of control all documents necessary to
voluntarily abandon the water rights, cancel any unadjudicated permits or eliminate
applicable lands from any unadjudicated permits. The subdivider shall notify any purchasers of
this action;
(II) Written documentation from the state board of control that the subdivider has submitted to the
state board of control all documents necessary to change the use or place of use to provide for
beneficial use of the water rights outside the subdivision;
(III) A plan, accompanied by written documentation from the state engineer approving the plan, for
the distribution of the water rights appurtenant to the land to be subdivided. The plan shall
specify the distribution of the water to the lots within the subdivision and shall include written
documentation from the state board of control that the subdivider submitted to the state board
of control all documents necessary to change the use, place of use or point of diversion or
means of conveyance in accordance with W.S. 41-3-103, 41-3-104 or 41-3-114; or
(IV) Written documentation from the state board of control that it has accepted an authorization to
detach water rights appurtenant to the lands to be subdivided in accordance with rules and
regulations promulgated by the state board of control.
(B) If the subdivision is located within lands served by or crossed by a ditch, irrigation works or other
water conveyance system, evidence that the subdivider submitted the plan to the public entity,
company, association or appropriators responsible for the ditch, irrigation works or other water
conveyance system for review and recommendation at least sixty (60) days prior to the submittal of
the application for the subdivision permit to the board. Upon receipt of the plan, the public entity,
Golden Acres Subdivision WDEQ 2025-0134 Page 2
company, association or appropriators shall notify the subdivider if and how the subdivision will
create a significant additional burden or risk of liability;
(C) Evidence that the subdivider will specifically state on all offers and solicitations relative to the
subdivision the subdivider's intent to comply with this paragraph and that the subdivider does not
warrant to a purchaser that the purchaser shall have any rights to the natural flow of any stream
within or adjacent to the proposed subdivision. The subdivider shall further state that Wyoming law
does not recognize any riparian rights to the continued natural flow of a stream or river for persons
living on the banks of the stream or river;
(D) If the subdivision is located within the boundaries of an irrigation district that is subject to the
provisions of title 41, chapter 7 of the Wyoming statutes, the application shall include
recommendations from the irrigation district regarding any changes to the attached water rights and
the irrigation district's easements. If there is a conflict with the irrigation district's
recommendations, the subdivider shall certify that it met with and made a good faith effort to resolve
any conflicts with the irrigation district; and
(E) If the subdivision will create a significant additional burden or risk of liability to the public entity,
company, association or appropriators responsible for the ditch, irrigation works or other water
conveyance system, the subdivider shall provide an adequate and responsible plan to reduce or
eliminate the additional burden or risk of liability and evidence that the subdivider submitted the
plan to the public entity, company, association or appropriators for review and recommendation
regarding the adequacy of the plan.
Please reference “State Engineer Subdivision Review Number 2025-14-12” in all
correspondence pertaining to this application.
Should you require clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at (307) 777-2974 or via

•The information submitted addresses the safety and adequacy of the proposed water system.
PROPOSED SEWAGE SYSTEM GROUNDWATER REVIEW:
The proposed sewage system consists of individual on-site septic tanks and leach fields constructed to standards
established in WQR and standards established by the Lincoln County Environmental Health Department. The sub-
division does overly an unconfined Class I groundwater as defined by WQR Chapter 8 Rules.
•The information submitted addresses the safety and adequacy of the proposed sewage system, provided the
statements indicated in the “Notes required to be added to the final plat” are adhered to.
Please refer to Appendix A, Groundwater Loading Model analysis located at the end of this letter for additional
information.
NOTES REQUIRED TO BE ADDED TO THE FINAL PLAT:
•The northern lots of the Golden Acres Subdivision are located within the calculated Zone of Contribution
for Public Supply Well Grover #2, as defined by Wyoming’s Wellhead Protection (WHP) Program. Based
on the WDEQ Groundwater Division review, the calculated capture zone radius for Grover #2 is 538 feet,
according to the WDEQ Groundwater review, a 250-foot buffer will be necessary on the north end of
Lots 1 and 18 or enhanced treatment will be required within the Zone of Contribution of the Public
Water Supply well. This increase of 100 feet accounts for the difference between the WDEQ's calculated
capture radius for Grover #2 and the radius that was determined in the Golden Acres Subdivision application
of 413 feet.
•In addition to this buffer, enhanced treatment is required for all absorption systems located within the WHP-
defined Attenuation Zone (Zone 2) of Grover #2. Lots falling completely or partially within this zone
include: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 18. The boundaries of Public Water Supply protection
zones can be obtained from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality Water Quality Division or
the appropriate county planning office and must be consulted during the planning and design of any
absorption system to determine whether enhanced treatment is required.
CONCLUSIONS:
Based on the materials and information presently submitted for this Chapter 23 subdivision application, the WDEQ is
issuing an “Non-Adverse” recommendation applicable to the Golden Acres Subdivision under the condition that the
Notes Required to Be Added to the Final Plat and proposed wastewater systems modified to achieve the standards
within WQD Chapter 23 Rules are all included in the final plat. If the notes modifications are not added to the plat, then
WDEQ is issuing an “Adverse” recommendation.

Comments to Analysis:
•Differences in analysis were due to:
o The difference between the consultants’ and the WDEQ WQD’s analysis of the calculations in
Appendix B was due to the use of an outdated Wehrmann model by the consultants. The revised
model indicated a shorter vertical time of travel—less than two years for four bedroom homes and
larger—which, in turn, increased the calculated two-year horizontal travel distance. Due to the high
horizontal groundwater flow velocity in the area (5.8240 ft/day), the horizontal travel distances for
four and five bedroom homes were calculated as 289 feet and 518 feet, respectively.
o The Calculated Fixed Radius of Pumping the Pumping Well (CFR) at Public Water Supply well
(PWS) Grover #2 was calculated as 413 feet by the consultants, while the WDEQ WQD calculated the
CFR of Grover #2 as 538 feet. No basis of calculation was given by the consultants so the difference
in analysis is unknown.

Attention: Planning and Development Office Staff
File Number 705 MA 25
Dear Staff Members:
The proposed Golden Acres Major Subdivision Master Plan – Preliminary Plat presents me with many questions
and I object to many things I see on the proposed plat. It robs me of my heritage, memories, and childhood life.
I remember when my father, Ezra Jensen, acquired the Joe Anderson place as we called the 40 acres that my
sisters Beth Hemmert (diseased), Peggy Albrecht and I inherited when my parents died. It was a land trade with
the 40 acres Dad owned down on the Grover/Auburn Road where the old creamery used to be about where the
Grover/Auburn Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints church is now located. I remember haying on both
places. Some of the sheep were pastured here when they came home from the summer grazing allotment.
The Joe Anderson place was farmed as one large property. I received the northern section, Beth the middle
section, and Peggy the southern section which had water from the Grover pipeline. The old road to the Grover
cemetery was in my section. Mother had always dreamed of building on the corner across the canal.
I have always refused to sell because the sentimental value to me out-weighs the monetary value. I have always
paid the taxes on time and the spraying for weed and pest control when notified. Now the questions: (1) Will this
necessitate a change in taxes from agriculture to residential property? I know Star Valley has one, if not the
highest property taxes in the state. (2) How will this affect the Scenic Byway designation? I didn’t object when
that was passed a few years ago, but with houses scattered above there will it still be a Scenic Byway? (3) Will this
affect the use of water from the canal for sprinkler pipes, watering livestock, irrigating, etc. or do they still do this?
Dad always allowed his neighbors access to canal.
I probably won’t be able to attend the hearing in person, but can I have some one else speak for me at the
hearing?
Sincerely,
Kay Ann J Saxton
