When it comes to questions about water and gas wells, the answers are clear as mud. State water officials were at Bayfield High School on Tuesday evening to provide information about a water case decided last year by the state Supreme Court and related to recently passed legislation. After nearly three hours of presenting and answering questions, more questions were still rolling in from the approximately 125 people in attendance. “I know people have a lot of concern," said John Cyran, head of the water-resources unit at the state Attorney General's office. The most contentious issue at Tuesday's meeting was a map released last month by the state Engineer's Office showing where water is considered tributary - meaning it feeds into streams - and where it is not. Generally speaking, tributary wells were closer to the Fruitland Outcrop - where the lip of the San Juan Basin curves to the surface in an arch across La Plata County. Meanwhile, deeper wells farther out in the basin toward New Mexico were mostly nontributary.
