15CW16 RAY AND LIZ DEICHSEL, 7754 Pine Ridge Rd., Franktown, CO 80116. 303-248-5544. APPLICATION FOR UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHRTS IN THE DENVER BASIN AQUIFER UNDERLYING APPLICANT’S PROPERTY IN DOUGLAS COUNTY. Applicant seeks to adjudicate the well, permit 102760, and to adjudicate the nontributary and not nontributary Denver Basin groundwater underlying a 2 1/2 acre tract of land lying in the SW1/4, NE1/4, S35, T7S, R66W of the 6th PM. 15CW3047 City of Boulder, c/o Joe Taddeucci, taddeuccij@bouldercolorado.gov, PO Box 791, Boulder, CO 80306, (303) 441-3200. (Douglas M. Sinor, Trout, dsinor@troutlaw.com, Raley, Montaño, Witwer & Freeman, P.C., 1120 Lincoln Street, Suite 1600, Denver, CO 80203, (303) 861-1963 and Jessica L. Pault-Atiase, pault-atiasej@bouldercolorado.gov, City of Boulder City Attorney’s Office, PO Box 791, Boulder, CO 80306, (303) 441-3020) APPLICATION FOR DETERMINATION OF AMOUNT, TIME AND LOCATION OF REUSABLE MUNICIPAL RETURN FLOWS, BOULDER COUNTY. 1. Name, Mailing Address, Email Address and Telephone Number of Applicant, see above. 2. Introduction. Boulder provides municipal water supply to approximately 114,200 customers within Boulder’s incorporated boundaries and adjoining areas. A map depicting Boulder’s service area as attached as Figure No. 1 to the application. By this application, Boulder seeks a judicial determination of the amount, time and location of the municipal return flows attributable to the indoor use of the fully consumable water storage rights decreed for Barker Meadow Reservoir in Case No. 99CW217. 3. Purpose of Application. Boulder received a decree in Case No. 99CW217, District Court, Water Division No. 1, on April 5, 2013, confirming a conditional water storage right and refill right for Barker Meadow Reservoir (“99CW217 Decree”). The decreed use of the 99CW217 Decree water rights includes the right to make a fully consumptive first use of the water and to use, reuse and successively use the water to extinction for all municipal purposes; however, the 99CW217 Decree requires that the amount and location of return flows from the use of the 99CW217 Decree water rights must be determined in a subsequent decree before they can be reused or successively used by Boulder. Accordingly, the purpose of this application is to quantify the amount, time and location of the reusable portion of return flows from the indoor use of the 99CW217 Decree water rights. Boulder’s treated water is used for both indoor and outdoor uses. A portion of the treated water Boulder delivers to its customers is consumed, and a portion is returned to the stream system as either sewered or non-sewered return flows. Indoor use of treated water occurs year-round and is comprised of residential, commercial, institutional, office-related and industrial uses. On the other hand, outdoor use typically occurs during April through October and is primarily comprised of lawn and landscape irrigation. This application does not seek to determine municipal return flows from outdoor uses. Boulder expressly reserves its right to quantify and claim credit for return flows from outdoor use of the 99CW217 Decree water rights in one or more future water court applications or administrative proceedings to approve the same for temporary use. Municipal return flows from the indoor use of 99CW217 Decree water storage rights, including normal treated water distribution system losses, accrue to Boulder Creek and its tributaries at or upstream of the City’s Wastewater Treatment Facility. Boulder’s Wastewater Treatment Facility is located approximately 200 feet downstream of 75th Street on Boulder Creek as shown on Figure No. 1 attached to the application. Boulder has performed a preliminary engineering analysis in support of this application to determine the amount, time and location of reusable municipal return flows from the indoor use of the 99CW217 Decree water rights in a report by Rozaklis and Associates, LLC dated April 25, 2015. This engineering analysis is consistent with the quantification of Boulder’s municipal return flows decreed in Case No.

90CW193, District Court, Water Division No. 1, on December 20, 1993. 4. Decreed Name of Structure. Barker Meadow Reservoir. 5. Legal Description. Barker Meadow Reservoir is located on Middle Boulder Creek, in the West 1/2, Section 17, and in Section 18, Township 1 South, Range 72 West of the 6th P.M., and in the East 1/2 of Section 13, Township 1 South, Range 73 West of the 6th P.M., Boulder County, Colorado. 6. Source. Middle Boulder Creek, a tributary of Boulder Creek. 7. Date of Appropriation. November 17, 1999. 8. Amount. 3,687 acre-feet per year fill, CONDITIONAL; 1,307 acre-feet per year refill, CONDITIONAL. As of September 30, 2013, Boulder stored the full amount of the 99CW217 Decree water rights. 9. Uses. All municipal purposes, including, without limitation, domestic, irrigation, commercial, industrial, power generation, fire protection, recreation, fish and wildlife preservation and propagation, exchange, substitution, augmentation, replacement and recharge, within the Boulder service area and outside the Boulder service area for such extra-territorial customers as Boulder may serve from time to time pursuant to City Charter and contracts. Such use shall include the right to make a fully consumptive first use of the water and to use, reuse and successively use the water to extinction for the purposes described in the forgoing sentence. 10. Quantification of Municipal Return Flows. Boulder proposes to quantify the amount, time and location of its indoor municipal return flows from the 99CW217 Decree water rights as follows: The calculation of municipal return flows from indoor use will be determined on a daily basis based on the pro-rata portion of the previous day’s treated water production attributable to the 99CW217 Decree water rights multiplied by Boulder’s calculated indoor return flow, where Boulder’s calculated indoor return flow is 95% of the average daily treated water production during the previous November through February. The average daily amount of water treated during the months of November through February shall be updated on or before March 15th of each year, and used for the succeeding twelve months. 11. Municipal Return Flow Quantification Point. Municipal return flows from the 99CW217 Decree water rights accrue to Boulder Creek, a tributary of the South Platte River, at or above the City’s Wastewater Treatment Facility as generally depicted on Figure No. 2. The Boulder Wastewater Treatment Facility Outfall is located on Boulder Creek in the NE1/4 NW1/4 SW 1/4, Section 13, Township 1 North, Range 70 West of the 6th P.M. 12. Reuse and Successive Use of the Municipal Return Flows. The municipal return flows from the indoor use of the 99CW217 Decree rights are decreed for all the uses described in paragraph 9 above, including exchange, substitution, augmentation and replacement purposes. Boulder may use such municipal return flows for any and all of the uses described in said paragraph 9, including but not limited to the anticipated uses described in the following paragraphs. Boulder currently has augmentation requirements and return flow obligations of up to 898 acre-feet per year, pursuant to the decrees entered in Case Nos. 08CW163, 94CW285, 94CW284, and 90CW193. Boulder has leased other reusable water to several downstream entities for augmentation purposes and to the University of Colorado for a graywater reuse pilot project. Boulder anticipates having additional needs for fully consumable water supplies in the future. Boulder will use the municipal return flow credits as an additional source of substitute supply, augmentation and replacement water to meet its obligations pursuant to Boulder’s existing decrees and any subsequent decrees. Boulder may also reuse and successively use the water directly, by exchange or by re-diversion into storage and subsequent release. By way of example, Boulder may re-divert such water into storage in Wittemyer Ponds for subsequent release and exchange up to points of diversion on Boulder Creek and South Boulder Creek. In addition, Boulder may lease or otherwise dispose of the municipal return flows quantified by this application to other water users at times when such water is not needed for use by Boulder. By this application, Boulder does not seek to amend any other decree or to decree any plan for augmentation or appropriative right of exchange. 13. Dominion, Control and Intent to Reuse. Paragraph 7 of the 99CW217 Decree included the finding that “[Boulder] has a specific plan and intent to divert, store, or otherwise capture, possess, and control a specific quantity of water for specific beneficial uses, including reuse and successive use….” Boulder seeks confirmation that, by the quantification method described in this application, Boulder will maintain dominion and control of the reusable municipal return flows from indoor use of the water storage right decreed in Case No. 99CW217. 14. Non-Injury. Boulder’s use of the municipal return flows claimed herein shall be such that no material injury will be experienced by holders or users of vested or decreed conditional water rights and that the flow regimen of the stream system shall

3

not be materially affected. 15. Names and Addresses of Owners of Land. Barker Meadow Reservoir is located on land owned by Boulder (see address in paragraph 1 above). 16. Relief. Boulder respectfully requests the following relief: a. Quantification of the amount, time and location of the above-described municipal return flows, and that the Court find that the allegations herein are true; and b. Such additional relief that the Court deems necessary or appropriate to further the purposes of this application and the relief requested herein. (7 pages) 15CW3048 (01CW4, 08CW218) Thomas G. Brown, 6207 Calle Vera Cruz, LaJolla, California, 92037, C/O Lawrence Jones Custer Grasmick, LLP, 5245 Ronald Reagan Blvd., Suite 1, Johnstown, CO, 80534. APPLICATION FOR FINDINGS OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE in LOGAN COUNTY. 2. Applicant seeks a finding of reasonable diligence for the following three conditional water rights decreed in Case No. 01CW004 on December 4, 2002. Out of priority depletions caused by use of the conditional water rights are augmented by a plan of augmentation approved in Case No. 01CW004 using Applicant’s shares in the Morgan-Prewitt Reservoir Company. 3. Conditional Water Rights. 3.1. Name of Structures. Three Wells on Lots 7, 8 and 9, Columbine Acres Subdivision, Second Filing, Logan County, Colorado (Wells). 3.2. Decree. Case No. 01CW004, Water Division No. 1. 3.3. Legal Description of Diversion Points. The Wells are to be located on Lots 7, 8 and 9, Columbine Acres Subdivision, Second Filing in the Northwest Quarter of Section 35, Township 8 North, Range 53 West of the 6th P.M., Logan County, Colorado. 3.4. Source of Water. Tributary alluvium of the South Platte River. 3.5. Appropriation. October 9, 2000. 3.6. Amount. For each 15 g.p.m., conditional. 3.7. Use. For each well in-house use and irrigation of 6000 square feet of lawn. 4. Outline of What Has Been Done Toward Completion. The Wells are not yet drilled but when they are drilled will be augmented pursuant to the augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 01CW004. The Wells have not been drilled because Lots 7, 8 and 9 have not yet been purchased. Applicant desires to allow the new owners to determine the location of the Wells on each of the lots in relation to the other improvements. Applicant continues to market the lots but due to economic circumstances beyond Applicant’s control sales of these lots in the City of Sterling, Columbine Acres have not come to fruition. Applicant expended funds to maintain the lots and to market the lots. Since the Wells are included in a decreed augmentation plan no injury will result from continuing the conditional appropriations. 5. Claim for Finding of Reasonable Diligence. Pursuant to §37-92-304 C.R.S., Applicant seeks to continue the conditional appropriation for each structure. 6. Name and Address of Owner of Structures. Thomas G. Brown.

Description of original conditional water right: a. Original Decree: The conditional water right for Lake No. 4 was originally decreed in Case No. 88CW074 on May 3, 1995, by District Court, Water Division No. 1, Weld County. b. Legal Description: The center point of Lake No. 4, which has a surface area of approximately 40 acres, is located 2,040 feet south of the north section line and 2,040 feet east of the west section line, Section 27, Township 3 North, Range 70 West, 6th P.M., Boulder County, Colorado. c. Source: St. Vrain Creek (as more particularly described in the original decree). d. Appropriation: i. Date of appropriation: April 23, 1992. ii. Amount: 880 acre-feet at a maximum rate of 300 cfs, CONDITIONAL. e. Uses: Augmentation, replacement and exchange, irrigation, industrial, recreational, and fish and wildlife preservation and propagation (as more particularly described in the original decree). 4. Description of current conditional water right: a. ABSOLUTE portion of water right: By the decree entered in Case No. 08CW223 on May 19, 2009, by District Court, Water Division No. 1, Weld County, 574.43 AF at a maximum rate of 50 cfs of the water right was made ABOSLUTE for recreational use within, and fish and wildlife preservation and propagation within and along the shores of Lake No. 4. b. Remaining CONDITIONAL portion of water right: After the decree entered in Case No. 08CW223, 574.43 AF at a maximum rate of 50 cfs (volumetrically reduced from 880 AF with a reduction in the maximum rate of diversion from 300 cfs by the decree entered in Case No. 08CW223) of the water right remains CONDITIONAL for augmentation, replacement and exchange, irrigation and industrial (as more particularly described in the original decree). 5. Claim of diligence: The Applicants seek a decree finding that they have been diligent with respect to completing the appropriation of the Lake No. 4 conditional water right described in paragraphs 3 and 4, and seek a decree allowing them to continue this CONDITIONAL water right for another six-year diligence period. Prior to the current diligence period (from June 1, 2009 through the present), the Applicants had completed the construction of Lake No. 4, including its inlet and outlet works, and the District had used Lake No. 4 as one component in its integrated system in operation of the augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 02CW334, Water Division No. 1. During the current diligence period, water was diverted into Lake No. 4 in May 2007 and releases were made out of Lake No. 4 from December 2010 through February 2011 and from June 2011 through October 2011. Because of reliability concerns with the measuring devices and the outlet works, the Applicants do not seek to make any portion of the remaining conditional portion of the water right absolute in this application. In September 2013, floods

6

devastated St. Vrain Creek and Lake No. 4 breached in two locations (the inlet and outlet works were left relatively intact), rendering it incapable of operating pursuant to its decrees, including the District’s augmentation plan which serves more than 200 structures. During the current diligence period, the Applicants conducted the following pre-flood and post-flood diligence activities: a. Pre-flood – the Applicants spent substantial time and effort and expended significant monies: i. Engineering and installing pressure transducers to aid in reliable measurement of diversions in and deliveries out of Lake No. 4. ii. Investigating, identifying and designing means by which to correct existing measurement deficiencies with the Lake No. 4 outlet works. iii. Defending the priority of this water right in Water Court, Division No. 1 by opposing water rights applications which could have injured the Applicants’ conditional water right. iv. Maintaining the condition of Lake No. 4 and the lands surrounding it. b. Post-flood – the Applicants spent substantial time and effort and expended significant monies: i. Evaluating the damage caused to the Lake No. 4 infrastructure by the September 2013 floods. ii. Working with FEMA and other agencies to identify funds available to finance the infrastructure repair. iii. Drafting and executing an Intergovernmental Agreement by which to repair the damaged infrastructure. iv. Obtaining loan financing from the CWCB to provide cash flow for the repair project and to bridge the differential between available reimbursement funding and projected repair costs. v. Collaborating with third party consultants on design plans to repair the damaged infrastructure. vi. Reviewing construction plan sets prepared to repair the damaged infrastructure. vii. Continuing to investigate whether the existing undamaged outlet works could deliver measured water reliably or whether alternate outlet works options should be evaluated. viii. Acquiring other sources of augmentation water to use to operate the District’s augmentation plan. ix. Drafting and submitting temporary substitute water supply plans to the State Engineer Office to continue to operate the District augmentation plan to allow member structures to continue to operate. The Applicants are committed to repairing Lake No. 4 so that it may be operated in accordance with its decrees. The Applicants anticipate spending multiple millions of dollars for this repair project and anticipate that it will require at least two more years to complete. At that point, the perfection of the remaining portion of the conditional water right will depend upon future hydrologic conditions. 6. Name(s) and address(es) of owner(s) of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored: The Applicants are the owners of the land on which Lake No. 4 is located. 15CW3053 (03CW324, 95CW116; 87CW078; 83CW126; W-9322-78) PLATTE RIVER POWER AUTHORITY, 2000 East Horsetooth Road, Ft.

On May 31, 1989, the District Court, Water Division No. 1, entered a decree in Case No. 87CW078, finding reasonable diligence with respect to the Conditional Exchanges not made absolute in Case No. 83CW126 and continuing such conditional exchanges in full force and effect. On September 29, 1997, the District Court, Water Division No. 1, entered a decree in Case No. 95CW116, finding reasonable diligence with respect to the Conditional Exchanges and continuing such conditional exchanges in full force and effect. On May 19, 2009, the District Court, Water Division No. 1, entered a decree in Case No. 03CW324, making certain of the Conditional Exchanges absolute and finding reasonable diligence with respect to the Conditional Exchanges and continuing such conditional exchanges in full force and effect. 4. Evidence of Reasonable Diligence: The Platte River Power Authority (“Authority”) provides wholesale electric power to the Colorado municipalities of Estes Park, Fort Collins, Longmont and Loveland, who wholly own the Authority and on whose behalf the Authority acts as a wholesale electric utility, acquiring, constructing and operating generation capacity and supplying electric energy on a requirements basis. The Authority owns and operates the Rawhide Energy Station (“Rawhide Station”), a 280 MW coal fueled generation unit and five natural gas-fired simple cycle combustion turbines. Of the natural gas units, four of the units

8

each have a summer rating of approximately 65 MW; and the fifth unit has a summer rating of approximately 128 MW. The Rawhide Station is located approximately 25 miles north of Fort Collins. In order to generate electricity, an adequate supply of water for cooling and other purposes is absolutely essential. Thus, in the 1970’s the Authority, the City of Fort Collins (“City”) and the Water Supply and Storage Company (“WSSC”), entered into a water reuse Agreement and applied for the water rights awarded in Case No. W-9322-78, including the Conditional Exchanges. As energy needs expand, the capacity at the Rawhide Station (or at an alternate location) may need to be increased by adding natural gas-fired generation, or some other type of generation resource. The Conditional Exchanges are a critical component to supplying the water needed to operate these units and to ensuring the continued ability of the Rawhide Station to meet the growing demand for electricity in the four municipalities. As previously determined by this Court, the Conditional Exchanges are part of an integrated project to provide water to the Rawhide Station, and diligence on the whole project, including diligence on one of the Conditional Exchanges, constitutes diligence as to all of the Conditional Exchanges. The Applicants’ efforts to provide water to and expand the Rawhide Station during the Diligence Period (May 2009 to present) support a finding of reasonable diligence for the Conditional Exchanges. These efforts include, without limitation, the work detailed in the Affidavit of Heather Banks, Fuels and Water Manager for the Authority, attached hereto as Exhibit B, and summarized as follows: A. The Authority expended over $38.5 million during the Diligence Period for water-related expenses associated with the Rawhide Station. B. The Authority diverted over 23,000 acre-feet to the Rawhide Station during the Diligence Period in connection with operation of the Rawhide Station. The City has also undertaken efforts during the diligence period that demonstrate diligence towards the Conditional Exchanges. The City possesses an integrated water supply system, and the Conditional Exchanges and reuse plan decreed in Case No. W-9322-78 are part of said system. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4)(b), diligence on one part of that system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of water rights for all features of the system. During the diligence period, those efforts include, but are not limited to, the activities summarized below. Dollar values have not yet been assigned to all of these efforts, including the efforts summarized herein. A. The City has operated and diverted and used water under the reuse plan and certain exchanges decreed in Case No. W-9322-78. B. The City has spent nearly $17.8 million to develop the Halligan Reservoir Enlargement and Rigden Reservoir. C. The City has spent about $2.1 million to design and construct a pre-sedimentation basin at the head of the Pleasant Valley Pipeline, which will allow the City to better divert the subject water rights during times of poor water quality, which water is initially diverted through the Munroe Canal. D. As part of the permitting process for the Halligan Reservoir Enlargement project, the City has and is analyzing alternatives that will involve use of several structures to be used in the Conditional Exchanges, including, but not limited to, the Munroe Canal and North Poudre Irrigation Company Reservoirs No. 5 and 6. E. The City filed for junior storage and exchange rights involving Rigden Reservoir and Halligan Reservoir. F. The City has participated in various cases in the District Courts for Water Divisions 1 and 6 to protect its water rights. G. The City has participated in proceedings before the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission with respect to its effluent, some of which is diverted into the Rawhide Pipeline pursuant to the reuse plan decreed in Case No. W-9322-78. H. Fort Collins Utilities staff has spent significant time on planning activities to incorporate the Conditional Exchanges into the overall water supply for the City, including computer modeling that incorporates the exchanges into the City’s water supply planning efforts. I. The City has spent over $1,500,000 in legal fees and engineering costs during the diligence period to support the City’s own water rights applications or to protect its existing water rights by opposing the water rights applications of others. 5. Name(s) and address(es) of owner(s) or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: a.

Pursuant to the Decree entered in Civil Action No. 91471 on September 24, 1935, the Soda Lake Reservoir Nos. 1 and 2 were adjudicated for 1,794 acre feet for irrigation purposes, and 598 acre feet for storage for supplying the City of Denver with water for municipal purposes, including the watering of lawns and gardens. The date of appropriation awarded the structures was February 11, 1893. The Soda Lakes Reservoirs are located in Section 1, Township 5 South, Range 70 West, 6th P.M., Jefferson County. The Reservoirs are filled through the Harriman Ditch. iv. Meadowview Reservoir. The structure is located in the NE1/4 SW1/4 and the NW1/4 SE1/4 of Section 26, Township 5 South, Range 71 West, 6th P.M., Jefferson County. Meadowview Reservoir was awarded an absolute water right in Case No. 2009CW92 (2001CW294), in an amount of 20 acre feet, and a conditional water right in Case No. 94CW290, in an amount of 30 acre feet, for augmentation, replacement, exchange and substitution purposes. The source is water tributary to North Turkey Creek. Harriman Ditch and Warrior Ditch direct flow water and water available to MMRC in the Soda Lakes Reservoirs are also stored in Meadowview Reservoir by exchange pursuant to the appropriative rights of substitution and exchange decreed in Case Nos. 94CW290, 2000CW060 and 2001CW293. c. The overall "firm" yield of consumptive use water available from the MMRC portfolio of Bear Creek/Turkey Creek water rights and storage facilities was quantified in the Decree entered by the District Court for Water Division 1 in Case No. 2001CW293, dated July 16, 2003. The terms and conditions under which the Bear Creek/Turkey Creek water rights are used for augmentation and replacement purposes are set forth in the Decree in Case No. 2001CW293, and are deemed to be res judicata in future proceedings involving such rights, pursuant to Williams v. Midway Ranches, 938 P.2d 515 (Colo. 1997). Reference is made to the Decree in Case No. 2001CW293 for more detailed information. 3. Statement of Plan for Augmentation, Covering all Applicable Matters under C.R.S. §37-92-103(9), §302(1)(2) and §305(8): a. Massopust is the owner of a 35 acre parcel of property located in the SE 1/4 of Section 25, Township 4 South, Range 71 West, 6th P.M., Jefferson County. One single family residence currently exists on the property. Massopust proposes to subdivide the property into three residential lots. One of the lots will have a separate guest house and a barn with a bathroom, in addition to a single-family residence. The property is depicted on the attached Exhibit "A." b. The water supply for the residences, the guest house and the barn is or will be obtained from the Daniel's Gulch Well Nos. 1-3. Wastewater from all in-building uses of water is or

14

will be treated utilizing non-evaporative septic systems with soil absorption leach fields. Return flows are to an unnamed tributary of Cold Springs Gulch. c. Based on prior engineering studies of similar residential subdivisions, it is assumed that the maximum average occupancy of the single family residences will be 3.5 persons, that the maximum average occupancy of the separate guest house will be 2.0 persons, and that per capita daily water usage will not exceed 80 gallons as an annual average. Water usage for the bathroom in the barn has been determined to be no more than 20 gallons per day as an annual average. The augmentation plan will also cover the irrigation of 21,800 square feet of lawn grass, or equivalent gardens, and the watering of 8 horses or equivalent domestic animals. Gross irrigation requirements for lawn grass are anticipated to be no more than 1.25 acre feet of water per irrigated acre. Gross irrigation requirements for gardens are no more than 0.5 of an acre foot per irrigated acre. Water requirements for horses, or equivalent domestic animals, are assumed to be 10 gallons per animal per day. The total volume of water required is projected to be approximately 1.86 acre feet per year. d. Depletions associated with water that is used inside each single-family residence, the guest house and the bathroom in the barn will be based on a ten percent (10%) consumption factor. Consumption of lawn grass at this location is 1.0 acre-foot per acre. Consumption of gardens is 0.4 of an acre foot per acre. All of the water supplied to horses is assumed to be consumed. Maximum stream depletions are not anticipated to exceed 0.704 of an acre foot per year, or a maximum of 0.4 of a gallon per minute. e. The required volume of augmentation water will be provided from the sources described in Paragraph No. 2, above. Due to the small volume of annual stream depletions projected to occur under this plan, instantaneous stream depletions may be aggregated and replaced by one or more releases from storage of short duration. f. Whenever possible, depletions to the stream system which occur during the period April through October, inclusive, will be continuously augmented by MMRC forgoing the diversion of a portion of its Warrior Ditch and/or Harriman Ditch direct flow water rights. During times when MMRC's direct flow water rights are not in priority and during the months of November through March, inclusive, depletions will primarily be augmented by periodically releasing water from the Soda Lakes Reservoirs. Water may also be released from Meadowview Reservoir. g. Since the point of depletion associated with water use under this augmentation plan is on a side tributary of Bear Creek and upstream of the Harriman Ditch headgate, Massopust asserts an appropriative right of substitute supply and exchange pursuant to C.R.S. §37-80-120 and §37-92-302(1)(a). The reach of the exchange shall extend from the confluence of Bear Creek and Turkey Creek at Bear Creek Lake in Section 5, Township 5 South, Range 69 West, 6th P.M., Jefferson County; thence up Bear Creek to its confluence with Cold Springs Gulch, located in the NW1/4 NW1/4 of Section 31, Township 4 South, Range 71 West, 6th P.M.; thence up Cold Springs Gulch to its confluence with an unnamed tributary in the SW1/4 SE1/4 of Section 25, Township 4 South, Range 71 West, 6th P.M.; and thence up the unnamed tributary to the point where depletions from the Daniel's Gulch Well Nos. 1-3 impact the unnamed tributary in the SW1/4 SE1/4 of Section 25, Township 4 South, Range 71 West, 6th P.M. The exchange will operate to replace depletions to the flow of water in the unnamed tributary of Cold Springs Gulch, Cold Springs Gulch, Bear Creek and the South Platte River as the depletions occur. The exchange will be administered with a priority date of May 29, 2015, at a maximum flow rate of 0.001 of a cubic foot per second. 4. Name and Address of Owner of Land on which New Structures will be Located: Thomas P. Massopust, as described above. WHEREFORE, Massopust requests the entry of a decree approving this Application, specifically determining that the source and location of delivery of augmentation water are sufficient to eliminate material injury to vested water rights. Massopust also requests a determination that the Daniel's Gulch Well Nos. 1-3 can be operated without curtailment so long as out-of-priority stream depletions are replaced as proposed herein. Massopust further requests the entry of an Order directing the State Engineer to issue permits for the wells. (7 pages and four exhibits).

Appropriation date and amount: December 18, 1992. These structures can be used individually or in any combination up to a maximum of 350 cfs. The flow rate for the release diversion or storage at any individual structure shall not exceed the amount listed above for that structure and the simultaneous cumulative total diversions at all such structures shall not exceed 350 cfs. g. Use: Uses shall include all municipal uses, including but not limited to domestic, irrigation, commercial, industrial, recreation, fishery, piscatorial, and wildlife, within the Fort Collins’ service area as it now exists or may from time to time be expanded, and for augmentation, replacement and substitution, and exchange, including contract exchanges or water trades made by mutual agreement with other water users. Water diverted by exchange will flow directly to immediate use or will be stored for later use. To the extent the replacement water supplied by Fort Collins is fully consumable, the water Fort Collins diverts by exchange shall be fully consumable. 4. Activities undertaken by Fort Collins toward completion or for completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures, during the diligence period: a. Actual Operation of Certain Exchanges and the 92CW129 Shares: Fort Collins has operated some of the Exchanges using the 92CW129 Shares and existing facilities. The Exchanges operated during the diligence period and the flow rates exchanged are listed below in Paragraph 5, which is incorporated by reference. Fort Collins has also operated the 92CW129 Shares for changed uses, including diversions at various alternate points of diversion. Fort Collins has further taken various actions with respect to the 05CW323 Shares for the future use in the Exchanges. b. Additional Diligence Activities: The City has undertaken additional efforts during the diligence period that demonstrate diligence towards the Subject Exchanges. The City possesses an integrated water supply system, and the Exchanges decreed in Case Nos. 92CW129 and 05CW323 are part of said system. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4)(b), diligence on one part of that system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of water rights for all features of the system. During the diligence period, those efforts include, but are not limited to, the activities summarized below. Dollar values have not yet been assigned to all of these efforts, including the efforts summarized herein. i. The City has spent nearly $17.8 million to develop the Halligan Reservoir Enlargement and Rigden Reservoir. ii. The City has spent about $2.1 million to design and construct a pre-sedimentation basin at the head of the Pleasant Valley Pipeline. iii. As part of the permitting process for the Halligan Reservoir Enlargement project, the City has and is analyzing alternatives that will involve use of several structures to be used by the subject water rights. iv. The City filed for junior storage and exchange rights involving Rigden Reservoir and Halligan Reservoir.

17

v. The City has participated in various cases in the District Courts for Water Divisions 1 and 6 to protect its water rights. vi. The City has participated in proceedings before the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission with respect to its effluent. vii. Fort Collins Utilities staff has spent significant time on planning activities to incorporate the Exchanges into the overall water supply for the City, including computer modeling that incorporates the Exchanges into the City’s water supply planning efforts. viii. The City has spent over $1,500,000 in legal fees and engineering costs during the diligence period to support the City’s own water rights applications or to protect its existing water rights by opposing the water rights applications of others. c. Future Need for Water: Fort Collins’ actual need for the water diverted and stored under the Exchanges has not been as great during the diligence period as it will be in the future. As Fort Collins grows and water demands increase, there will be an increasing need to divert more water under the Exchanges. Fort Collins has a continuing and future need for all of the water and exchange potential decreed under the Exchanges, and has the continuing plan and intent to develop and put to beneficial use all of the Exchanges. 5. Dates and amounts of water applied to beneficial use: a. During the diligence period, Fort Collins actually diverted and put to beneficial use the amounts of water listed below, under each of the Subject Exchanges listed below, and these Subject Exchanges and amounts should be made absolute: i. From 2005 through 2015, during the months of November through March, Fort Collins exchanged water attributable to the 92CW129 Shares from Halligan Reservoir to the City of Fort Collins Pipeline. The maximum rate of exchange was 1.8 cfs (1.76 cfs after transit losses) between November 1, 2009 and March 20, 2010. The water was subsequently treated and used within the City’s municipal system. Records evidencing these exchanges are attached to the application as Exhibit B. ii. On June 22-23, 2014, Fort Collins exchanged water attributable to the 92CW129 Shares from Fossil Creek Reservoir, via the Fossil Creek Reservoir Outlet, to the Munroe Canal.

Farr, Felt, Monson & Culichia, LLC, 319 N. Weber St., Colorado Springs, Colorado 80903, (719) 471-1212). Application for Adjudication of Denver Basin Groundwater and for Approval of Plan for Augmentation EL PASO COUNTY. Summary of Application. Applicant wishes to construct a new, non-exempt well on Applicant's approximately five acre property, as more particularly described in Paragraph III.A. below, and as depicted on the attached Exhibit A map ("Applicant's Property), to provide water service to a single family dwelling thereon. Applicant therefore seeks to quantify the Denver Basin groundwater underlying the Applicant's Property, and approval of a plan for augmentation for the use thereof. Property Description. The well will be located on Applicant's Property, described as the SE1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 10, Township 11 South, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M. except that portion of the W1/2 of the SE1/4 of the NW1/4 of said Section 10, lying north of the right of way of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company, and except the right of way of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad Company, County of El Paso, Colorado. See attached Exhibit A general location map. Water Source. Not-Nontributary. The groundwater withdrawn from the Dawson and Denver aquifers of the Denver Basin underlying Applicant's Property is not-nontributary. Pursuant to § 37-90-137(9)(c.5), C.R.S., the augmentation requirements for wells in the Dawson and Denver aquifers will require the replacement of actual stream depletions. Nontributary. The groundwater withdrawn from the Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers of the Denver Basin underlying the Applicant's Property is nontributary. Estimated Rates of Withdrawal and Groundwater Available. Estimated Rates of Withdrawal. Pumping from the well will not exceed 20 g.p.m. for the Dawson aquifer and 50 g.p.m. for the Denver aquifer. The actual

19

pumping rate for the well will vary according to aquifer conditions and well production capabilities. The Applicant's request the right to withdraw groundwater at rates of flow necessary to withdraw the entire decreed amounts. The actual depth of the well to be constructed within the respective aquifer will be determined by topography and actual aquifer conditions. Estimated Average Annual Amounts of Groundwater Available. Applicant requests a vested right for the withdrawal of all legally available groundwater in the Denver Basin aquifers underlying the Applicant's Property. Said amounts may be withdrawn over the 100-year life of the aquifers as required by § 37-90-137(4), C.R.S. Applicant estimates that the following values and average annual amounts are representative of the Denver Basin aquifers underlying Applicant's Property:

Aquifer Sand Thickness (Feet)

Total Groundwater Storage

(Acre Feet)

Annual Average Withdrawal (Acre Feet)

Dawson (NNT) 387 390 3.90

Denver (NNT 4%) 258 220 2.20

Arapahoe (NT) 417 350 3.50

Laramie Fox Hills (NT)

188 140 1.40

Decreed amounts may vary based upon the State's Determination of Facts. Pursuant to § 37-92-305(11), C.R.S., the Applicant further requests that the Court retain jurisdiction to finally determine the amount of water available for appropriation and withdrawal from each aquifer. Requested Uses. The Applicant requests the right to use the groundwater for beneficial uses upon the Applicant's Property consisting of domestic, commercial, irrigation, stock water, recreation, wildlife, wetlands, fire protection, and also for storage and augmentation purposes associated with such uses. The Applicant also requests that the nontributary water may be used, reused, and successively used to extinction, both on and off the Applicant's Property subject, however, to the requirement of § 37-90-137(9)(b), C.R.S. that no more than 98% of the amount withdrawn annually shall be consumed. Applicant may use such water by immediate application or by storage and subsequent application to the beneficial uses and purposes stated herein. Provided, however, Applicant shall only be entitled to construct a well or use water from the not-nontributary Dawson or Denver aquifers pursuant to a decreed augmentation plan entered by this Court, covering the out-of-priority stream depletions caused by the use of such not-nontributary aquifers in accordance with § 37-90-137(9)(c.5), C.R.S. Well Fields. Applicant requests that it be permitted to produce the full legal entitlement from the Denver Basin aquifers underlying Applicant's Property through any combination of wells. Applicant requests that these wells be treated as a well field. Averaging of Withdrawals. Applicant requests that they be entitled to withdraw an amount of groundwater in excess of the average annual amount decreed to the aquifers beneath the Applicant's Property, so long as the sum of the total withdrawals from all the wells in the aquifers does not exceed the product of the number of years since the date of issuance of the original well permit or the date of entry of a decree herein, whichever comes first, multiplied by the average annual volume of water which the Applicant is entitled to withdraw from the aquifers underlying the Applicant's Property. Name and Address of Owner of Land Upon Which Wells are to Be Located. The land upon which the wells are and will be located is owned by Applicant. Application for Approval of Plan for Augmentation. Structure to be Augmented. The structure to be augmented is a well to be constructed to either of the not-nontributary Dawson or Denver aquifers as will be permitted pursuant to this plan for augmentation, along with any replacement or additional wells associated therewith, of the Denver Basin underlying the Applicant's Property as requested and described herein. Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation. The water rights to be used for augmentation during pumping are the return flows resulting from the pumping of the not-nontributary

20

Dawson or Denver aquifers, together with water rights from the nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer for any injurious post pumping depletions. Statement of Plan for Augmentation. Applicant wishes to provide for the augmentation of stream depletions caused by pumping of the not-nontributary Dawson or Denver aquifers by a proposed well herein for one residential lot. Water use criteria and their consumptive use component for replacement of actual depletions for the lots are as follows: Use. The well will pump 1.3 acre-foot of water per year from the Dawson or Denver aquifers. Household use is estimated at 0.20 to 0.30 acre-feet of water per year. Watering of up to 10 horses or similar livestock is estimated at 0.011 acre-feet per animal per year, or a total 0.11 acre-feet. The remaining 0.89 acre-feet shall be available for the irrigation of up to approximately 19,000 square feet of lawn and garden. Depletions. Applicant's consultant has determined that maximum stream depletions over the 100 year pumping period for the Dawson aquifer amounts to approximately 12.7% of pumping. Additionally, for the Denver aquifer, the Applicant's Property is more than one mile from stream/aquifer contact, therefore, stream depletion is set at 4% of pumping. Consequently, maximum depletions per residential pumping of 1.3 acre feet per year equals 0.16 acre feet for the Dawson aquifer and 0.05 acre feet for the Denver. Augmentation of Depletions During Pumping. Pursuant to § 37-90-137(9)(c.5), C.R.S., Applicant is required to replace actual stream depletions attributable to the pumping of the well. Applicant's consultant has determined that depletions during pumping will be effectively replaced by residential return flows from non-evaporative septic systems. The annual consumptive use for non-evaporative septic systems is 10% or a minimum of 0.02 acre-feet per year for 0.20 acre-feet of household use, or 0.03 acre-feet per year for 0.30 acre-feet of household use. This results in a return flow of a minimum of 0.18 acre-feet per year. Thus, during pumping and regardless of to which not-nontributary aquifer the well may be constructed, stream depletions will be adequately augmented. Augmentation for Post Pumping Depletions. For the replacement of any injurious post-pumping depletions which may be associated with the use of the Dawson aquifer or Denver aquifer well, Applicant will reserve up to 1.4 acre-feet of water from the nontributary Laramie Fox Hills aquifer, less the amount of actual stream depletions replaced during the plan pumping period. Applicant also reserves the right to substitute other legally available augmentation sources for such post pumping depletions upon further approval of the Court under its retained jurisdiction. Even though this reservation is made, under the Court's retained jurisdiction, Applicant reserves the right in the future to prove that post pumping depletions will be noninjurious. The reserved Laramie-Fox Hills nontributary water will be used to replace any injurious post-pumping depletions. Upon entry of a decree in this case, the Applicant will be entitled to apply for and receive a well permit for a Dawson or Denver aquifer well for the uses in accordance with this Application and otherwise in compliance with § 37-90-137, C.R.S.

Findings of Diligence. Provide a detailed outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures: Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4)(b), the measure of reasonable diligence is the steady application of effort to complete the appropriation in a reasonably expedient and efficient manner under all the facts circumstances. When a project or integrated system is comprised of several features, work on one feature of the project or system shall be considered finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of water rights for all features of the entire project or system. Pursuant to paragraph 48 of the Case No. 06CW104 decree, Aurora’s municipal water system and each of the water rights and structures that are part of Aurora’s Prairie Waters Project (“PWP”) that now and in the future will provide water for Aurora comprise an integrated system of water rights and structures under section 37-92-301(4)(b), C.R.S. Therefore, Aurora Water’s work on any part of the PWP constitutes reasonable diligence on the conditional water rights decreed in Case No. 06CW104. Since receiving the decree in Case No. 06CW104, Aurora Water has diligently prosecuted the following additional features of the PWP: Aurora Water spent approximately $700 million completing the construction of ARR-A, the PWP well fields, the 34 mile pipeline from PWP to Aurora Reservoir, and the Peter Binney Water Treatment Facility. The initial capacity is 10,000 acre feet. Aurora Water began PWP deliveries in October 2010 and the system became fully operational in June 2012. Case No. 03CW414: conditional underground and surface storage rights for Aquifer Recharge and Recovery Site B (“ARR-B”), decreed August 1, 2007; findings of reasonable diligence decreed in Case No. 13CW3088, April 22, 2014. Case No. 03CW415: conditional storage rights for Aurora’s East Reservoir, decreed May 14, 2008; findings of reasonable diligence decreed in Case No. 14CW3065, March 2, 2015. Case No. 02CW330: conditional storage rights for Aurora-Everist Reservoir No. 1, decreed June 7, 2012. Case No. 97CW272: conditional storage rights for the Robert W. Walker Reservoir, decreed May 10, 2000; findings of reasonable diligence decreed in Case No. 06CW129, June 9, 2009. Case No. 97CW392: conditional storage rights for the Stillwater Ranch Reservoir, decreed May 10, 2000; findings of reasonable diligence decreed in Case No. 06CW130, June 9, 2009.

Case No. 13CW3080: conditional storage rights in Aurora-Everist Reservoir No. 2, decreed January 6, 2015. Case No. 13CW3042: addition of six (6) in-fill wells to the PWP Well Field and amendment of plan for augmentation decreed in Case No. 06CW104, decreed May 12, 2015. On May 6, 2015, Aurora entered into an unconditional contract with Gilcrest Reservoir, LLC, to purchase a portion of the property known as Gilcrest Reservoir (f/k/a Platte Valley Trust Reservoir). With an above grade berm, Aurora’s parcel will have sufficient capacity to store 10,000 acre feet of water. Water will be diverted into Aurora’s storage cell in Gilcrest Reservoir through a diversion structure on the Western Mutual Ditch and/or a pump station to divert directly from the South Platte River adjacent to the reservoir. Aurora’s Gilcrest Reservoir cell will have an outlet for returning water to the South Platte River that may be located at one of more of the following locations: (1) the SE1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 2, Township 3 North, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado; (2) the NW1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 35, Township 4 North, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado; and (3) the SW1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 26, Township 4 North, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. This contract satisfies the requirements of paragraph 57.1 of the 06CW104 decree to acquire at least 10,000 acre feet of storage in Platte Valley Trust Reservoir (or an alternative reservoir with an outlet to the South Platte River that discharges downstream of the Town of Platteville but upstream of the Lower Latham Ditch headgate) by the end of the first diligence period. This contract preserves the entirety of Aurora’s PWP Exchanges, which would otherwise have been limited according to the terms of paragraph 57.1.

Name and Address of Applicant: Jahanbin Gandomcar, 10415 Roxborough Park Road, Littleton, CO 80125. [Telephone: 303.791.7656] Mr. Gandomcar is the owner of a decreed alluvial well, the Woodhouse Well No. 14278 (WDID No. 0808088), originally decreed in Case No. W-3419 (Water Division 1). The well is commonly called the Woodhouse Sump. 2. Name of Structure: Woodhouse Well No. 14278. 3. Background: A. Decree. The Water Court entered a decree for the Woodhouse Well No. 14278 (“Well No. 14278” or “Woodhouse Sump”) as an alternate point of diversion for the Charles T. Newmarch Ditch (“Newmarch Ditch”) in Case No. W-3419 on January 16, 1981. The Newmarch Ditch diverts from Plum Creek, north of Sedalia, in Douglas County. B. Source. Plum Creek, tributary to the South Platte River. C. Diversion Rate. Well No. 14278 is decreed for a rate of flow of 0.89 cfs. D. Use. Irrigation of up to 45 acres in the E1/2 of the NW1/4 and the SE1/4 of Section 10, Township 7 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., as an alternate point of diversion for the Newmarch Ditch. E. Date of Appropriation. July 1, 1954. F. Decreed Location. Well No. 14278 was inaccurately described in the Case No. W-3419 decree. Applicant filed an application for a correction of an established but erroneously described point of diversion for such structure in Case No. 14-CW-3096 in August, 2014. At present, this case is pending in Water Division 1. The correct location of the well is as follows: At a point 1690 feet from the North section line and 2438 feet from the West section line in the SE1/4 of the NW1/4, Section 10, Township 7 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., in Douglas County. See Exhibit A, General Location Map, and Exhibit B, Site Location Map. G. Purpose of Application. Well No. 14278 is a sump which operates to recharge water into the Plum Creek alluvium. See technical report by Quantum Water Consulting, attached as Exhibit C. To the extent that the sump exposes ground water, this application is filed to obtain a Water Court approved augmentation plan to replace such evaporation. 4. Augmentation Claim: A. Applicant owns nontributary ground water rights in the Arapahoe aquifer underlying his property in Douglas County. Such rights are described as follows: (1) Well Name: Well No. A-1; (2) Decree: Case No. 03-CW-205 (entered March 22, 2004); (3) Average Annual Amount: 79.5 acre-feet; (4) Well Permit: 75246-F; (5) Date of Well Completion: April 20, 2013. B. Applicant will use such nontributary Arapahoe aquifer ground water withdrawn through Well No. A-1 as the augmentation supply for all evaporative losses caused by exposure of alluvial ground water. Such replacement water will be applied by direct discharge to Plum Creek. C. For purposes of the claimed plan, Applicant will assume that all evaporative losses must be replaced to avoid injurious effect upon the water rights of others. 5. Estimated Stream Depletions: A. Exposed Surface Area. Approximately 5,532 square feet. B. Gross Evaporation. Based on NOAA Technical Report NWS 33, gross evaporation from the Woodhouse Sump is calculated to be 3.35 acre-feet per year (AF/yr). The annual value was distributed by month pursuant to State Engineer’s Office guidelines; this value is then used to calculate a maximum daily evaporation of 671 gallons, as indicated in Table 1 below: SEO Monthly Gross Gross Sump Total Max.

Gross Evaporation based on NOAA Technical Report NWS 33 from SEO Guidelines for SWSPs. Total Evaporation calculated for an exposed surface area of 5,532 square feet. 6. Application for Plan for Augmentation: A. Structure to be Augmented. The Woodhouse Sump is filled with in-priority diversions under the Newmarch Ditch water right from Plum Creek and with nontributary and not nontributary ground water pursuant to the decree in Case No. 03-CW-205, Water Division 1. Water is then surface-pumped from the pond for irrigation of approximately 45-acres of sod used for recreational and commercial purposes. B. Summary of Evaporative Losses. Based upon the data displayed in Table 1 above, the estimated gross evaporation from ground water exposure in the Woodhouse Sump is 0.425 AF/yr. C. Replacement. (1) Applicant intends to make full replacement of such evaporative losses on a monthly and annual basis by delivery of replacement water supplied by Applicant’s nontributary Arapahoe aquifer well (Well Permit No. 75248-F). Such replacement water will be supplied by direct discharge from such well or from return flows from irrigation of approximately 40-acres of sod. Applicant estimates that 10% of the nontributary ground water applied for irrigation will result in a more than adequate amount to replace evaporative losses under this proposed plan. (2) Such replacement water will be adequate to replace all evaporative losses caused by the Woodhouse Well No. 1 and will prevent injury to the vested and conditionally decreed water rights of others. 7. Replacement of Post-Pumping Stream Depletions: The Woodhouse Sump does not cause alluvial ground water stream depletions because the structure operates as a recharge facility rather than an alluvial well. Consequently, there are no lagged stream depletions. See Quantum technical letter report, Exhibit C hereto. Accordingly, Applicant requests that there be no further requirement to continue to deliver augmentation water to replace post-pumping stream depletions. 8. Statement of Plan Operation: A. Evaporation of Exposed Ground Water. The Woodhouse Sump exposes alluvial ground water tributary to Plum Creek, as described hereinabove. B. Consumptive Use. Consumptive use of water exposed is caused by evaporation. The amount of such consumptive use is estimated to be 0.425 AF/yr. See Table 1 above and Exhibit C. C. Replacement of Depletions. Evaporative losses of exposed ground water will be fully replaced with nontributary ground water from the Arapahoe aquifer supplied by Applicant and by return flows of fully consumable water from the sod irrigation operations. Such replacement sources will adequately replace all evaporative losses in an amount and in such a manner as to prevent injury to all other vested and decreed conditional water rights. 9. Proposed Terms and Conditions: A. Limitation on Use. Use of the Woodhouse Sump will be limited to an amount of nontributary ground water available to the Applicant under the decree in Case No. 03-CW-205, Water Division 1. B. Accounting and Reporting. Applicant will perform all necessary accounting functions and make reports to the Division Engineer as requested. A sample accounting form is attached hereto as Exhibit C and will be attached to the proposed ruling and decree. C. No Injury. The plan requested herein will prevent injurious effect upon other owners or persons entitled to use water under vested or decreed conditional water rights. 10. Name and Address of Owners of Land Upon Which Water Rights Are Located: Applicant J. Gandomcar. 11. Jurisdiction: The Water Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this application pursuant to Section 37-92-302, C.R.S. 12. Remarks: A. Need for Water. The plan for augmentation requested in this application is needed for irrigation purposes on Applicant’s property. Applicant reasonably believes that he has such needs and is committed to developing and operating the plan for augmentation requested herein. B. Completion of Augmentation Plan. By undertaking this application and the related planning, engineering, legal efforts, and other activities that become necessary and apparent, Applicant will complete and operate the augmentation plan applied for hereby. 13. Prayers For Relief: WHEREFORE, Applicant J. Gandomcar

28

requests this Court to enter a decree: A. Granting the application herein and awarding the plan for augmentation requested herein. B. Retaining jurisdiction over this matter for a period necessary to assure that the operation of the plan will not cause injury to other vested water rights.
