Action plan for this parcel
- 1.
Verify mineral severance vs surface-only ownership
Criticalminerals0 producing wells on the parcel. In CO, surface and mineral rights are commonly severed — pull deed history to confirm what's actually owned. If minerals are reserved to a prior owner, royalties flow to them; if conveyed with surface, royalties + lease bonuses go to the current owner.

- 3.
Verify augmentation plans + diligence on the priority date
Recommendedwater14 senior water rights on record at or near this parcel (oldest priority 1884). Under prior appropriation those RIGHTS stand near the front of the call line in dry years — but they benefit this parcel only if they convey with it.

Source: the Colorado Division of Water Resources well-permit registry (CDSS). These are WATER wells (domestic / irrigation / stock), not oil & gas wells. Wells are matched to the parcel by proximity to its centroid, not by surveyed boundary — a well listed here can sit on an adjacent parcel. Descriptive, not legal advice — confirm the permit location, decreed use, and yield with CO DWR before relying on them.
No oil & gas wells within ½ mile of this parcel. Sourced from the Colorado Energy & Carbon Management Commission (ECMC) public registry.
