Spanish Valley had requested 5000 acre feet and the State Engineer is allowing 500 Acre feet from the Glen Canyon Aquifer and 100 acre feet from the Kane Spring Aquifer and that the remaining 4400 acre feet can be drawn from the Colorado River. Spanish Valley is required to prepare a monitoring program and have it approved by the State Engineer prior to any ground water extrication. If through monitoring Spanish Valley shows there is no impairment to the ground water aquifer then they can request up to 1000 acre feet from the Glen Canyon Aquifer.
