*Date of Revised Final Findings and Decree in Civil Action No. 1591.

(C) Historical Use: Applicant owns and seeks to change herein 11.5 shares (“subject water rights”) of the 519.7 outstanding shares in the Greeley Irrigation Company (“GIC”). GIC owns a 5/8th interest in the water rights decreed to the Greeley Canal No. 3, as well as 60 preferred rights in Fossil Creek Reservoir. The City of Greeley owns the remaining 3/8th interest in the water rights decreed to the Greeley Canal No. 3. The subject water rights have historically been used for irrigation purposes on various parcels served by the GIC. These parcels include parcels E-56, E-46, E-88, E-90b, E-109c and W-22. Applicant’s share ownership in the GIC entitles it to delivery of Fossil Creek Reservoir water. 4. Proposed Change: Applicant seeks to change the use of the subject water rights to include, in addition to existing uses, augmentation, replacement,

recharge and exchange purposes. Applicant intends to make the fully consumable portion of the changed water right available for augmentation use in Applicant’s proposed augmentation plan in Case No. 03CW250, and/or other augmentation plans capable of utilizing the subject water rights for augmentation purposes including but not limited to: Union Ditch Company and Union Well Augmentation Company’s Augmentation Plan (Case No. 03CW404) and the Ogilvy Augmentation Plan (Case No. 03CW150). Applicant proposes to change the subject water rights in accordance with the ditch-wide historic use analysis, consumptive use provisions and other applicable requirements contained in the decree entered by the Court in Case No. 96CW658, In the Matter of the Application for Water Rights of the Poudre Prairie Mutual Reservoir & Irrigation Company. In Case No. 96CW658, the Applicant conducted a ditch-wide analysis to determine the historic consumptive use of each share of GIC water rights during the period of 1950-1979, a period that the court found representative of historic use. This Court found that during this period the average annual diversion of GIC direct flow water rights was 11,400 acre feet. Thus the diversions attributable to Applicant’s shares would be approximately 252 acre feet annually, on average. The decree found that the average annual consumptive use per share under the GIC system was 10.31 acre feet. The decree in the case further provided, at paragraph 20, that other owners of shares in the GIC system could rely upon the findings made in the decree regarding historic consumptive use of GIC shares in any subsequent change application, in the absence of any showing of later events which the court did not address in 96CW658 and which are germane to the question of injury. The Applicant asserts that the historic consumptive use of the subject water right should thus be determined to be approximately 118.5 acre feet on an average annual basis. Applicant shall replace all historic return flows from the irrigation use of such water to the extent necessary to prevent legal injury to senior water rights and shall not use the said water rights unless such replacement is made. 5.

Decreed use: Well Nos. 1-1383, 2-1384, 3-13067, 5-1385, and 6-5730 are decreed for irrigation of approximately 320 acres in the East half of Section 26. Well No 4-3499 is decreed for irrigation of approximately 160 acres in the West half of Section 25. 4. Historic use: The water rights for the wells have historically been used for irrigation of a total of 480 acres of land in the East half of Section 26 and West half of Section 25, T1S, R65W, 6th P.M. in Adams County. Applicant currently irrigates approximately 313 acres. The locations of these structures and the irrigated lands are shown on the map attached as EXHIBIT C. There are no diversion records for these wells maintained by the State Engineer. The wells have been included in the plan for augmentation decreed to the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District, Groundwater Management Subdistrict (“Central GMS”) in Case No. 02CW335, and will continue to be used under that plan in addition to this plan. 5. Proposed changes: Applicant seeks to change the place of use of all 6 wells described above to allow continued irrigation of up to 480 acres anywhere within the SE1/4 of Section 23, E1/2 of Section 26 and W1/2 of Section 25, all within T1S, R65W, 6th P.M. in Adams County, without restriction on the place of use of the individual wells within that area. This change will allow all water rights to be used in a combined system for more economical irrigation of the property. This change will not result in any increase in the number of acres irrigated or the amount of water diverted or consumed from the subject wells. Applicant also seeks approval of a change in point of diversion for Well No. 3-13067 to recognize the actual well location which is more than 200 feet from the decreed location, and a change or correction in the decreed location for Well No. 5-1385 less than 200 feet from its decreed location to recognize the well is in the SW1/4 of NE1/4 of Section 26, not the NW1/4 of NE1/4, and to recognize the actual distance from the section lines. All other wells are within 200 feet of their decreed locations. These changes, if approved, will apply to use of the wells under this plan for augmentation and under the Central GMS decree. Applicant’s wells are already included in the Central GMS decree, and no change of that decree is required as a result of the changes requested in this application. 6.

Statement of the Plan for Augmentation Including Exchanges and Changes of Water Rights, covering all applicable matters under 37-92-103(9), 302(1)(2) and 305(8), C.R.S.: This plan is intended to augment the six wells described above to the extent the use of such wells may cause out-of-priority depletions. This plan is intended to supplement the plan for augmentation decreed to Central GMS as long as the wells remain enrolled in that plan. Any out of priority depletions resulting from pumping the wells under this plan shall be augmented under this plan. Applicant plans to divert water from the Box Elder Creek aquifer through the wells described above for continued irrigation use on the decreed lands. Total average annual well pumping under this plan from all 6 tributary wells combined is estimated to be approximately 441 acre feet per year. Total average annual consumptive use depletions from Applicant’s irrigation use are estimated to be approximately 353 acre feet based upon 80% consumptive use from Applicant’s center pivot irrigation system. The timing and amount of actual depletions will be lagged depending upon the distance between each well and Box Elder Creek. Applicant will replace net out-of-priority depletions in amount, time and location as needed to prevent injury to senior vested water rights. Such depletions will be replaced by delivering Applicant’s nontributary ground water to Box Elder Creek at or above the senior calling water rights by direct discharge, by taking credit for irrigation return flows from the use of such water on the subject property, or by delivery through an infiltration structure adjacent to Box Elder Creek. Applicant’s nontributary wells will be constructed during this irrigation season. The infiltration site or delivery point for Applicant’s nontributary ground water will be located generally in the W1/2 of W1/2 of Section 25, T1N, R65W, 6th P.M. in Adams County.

Applicant’s Box Elder Creek aquifer wells are included in the Central GMS decree in Case No. 2002CW335. Applicant will provide water under this application to replace out-of-priority stream depletions from Applicant’s wells to the extent such well pumping is not covered by Applicant’s Central GMS contracts under the Central GMS quota each year, in order to maximize the allowed annual pumping from the subject wells. Applicant may also lease other nontributary water or other augmentation water, including reusable effluent to provide a temporary source of augmentation water while the application is pending, in addition to the sources described above. Reusable effluent may be delivered under such leases from the Metropolitan Denver Waste Water Treatment Plant or other municipal waste water treatment plants down the South Platte River or its tributaries to the confluence of Box Elder Creek and the South Platte River. The Metro Treatment Plant outfall discharges to the South Platte River in Section 1, T3S, R68W, 6th P.M., in Adams County, Colorado. The use of the nontributary ground water and effluent deliveries will allow Applicant to deliver water throughout the year as needed to replace net out-of-priority depletions, or to satisfy Applicant’s winter return flow or other replacement obligations. Applicant is not a member of the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District and does not have any contracts with Metro for treatment of wastewater. Nothing stated in this application shall affect or prejudice any of Metro’s rights and obligations to any of its members as they existed immediately prior to filing this application. Inclusion of Metro’s Central Treatment Plant outfall as a place of replacement is without prejudice to the rights of Metro to seek a future determination of the rights and obligations, if any, of Metro or any of its members regarding any change of location of such outfall. Applicant shall include these conditions in any decree entered in this case that approves the use of treated waste water from the Metro plant as a source of replacement water. Applicant understands that a petition has been filed or may be filed to request classification of the ground water in the Box Elder Creek alluvium under Applicant’s land as designated ground water. If that petition is granted, and becomes final, Applicant reserves the right to withdraw or dismiss the plan for augmentation claim in this application to the extent permitted under applicable court rules. 11. Names and addresses of the owners of land on which the structures are or will be located, upon which the water is or will be stored, or upon which water is or will be placed to beneficial use: Applicant owns the land upon which all of the wells and other structures are or will be located and upon which the water will be used. 07CW98 KAREN KRAAS, TTEE KRAAS TRUST, 12771 CR 32, Platteville, CO 80651.

Section 5, with a date of appropriation of May 31, 1954 in the amount of 2.24 c.f.s. the use of both wells being for the irrigation of approximately 160 acres in the SE1/4 of Section 5, Township 1 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. 4. Water Rights to be used for Augmentation. The Wells are augmented by the augmentation plan of the Groundwater Management Subdistrict of the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District (GMS) Decreed in Case No. 02CW335 under Class D Contract No. 478. This plan of augmentation is for the purpose of allowing diversions from the Wells in addition to the annual quota of diversions permitted under the GMS plan. The source of water for this plan is fully consumable water rights leased from the City of Aurora in the amount of 169 acre feet. The lease will deliver the augmentation water from June 1, 2007 until May 31, 2013. 5. Plan for Augmentation. 5.1. Well Diversions. The Wells are used as a sole source to irrigate 160 acres on the farm located as shown on Figure 1. This plan will cover depletions from the additional diversions above the annual quota of diversions permitted under the GMS plan. The GMS plan will augment depletions caused by the past pumping of this well during the 1974-2006 irrigation seasons. Applicant, not GMS, will be responsible for all additional depletions in 2007 and all future years above the annual quota of diversions permitted under the GMS plan. 5.2. Consumptive Use of Groundwater. The consumptive use of ground water and stream depletions attributable to the Wells were determined in accordance with the terms of the GMS Decree. 5.3. Depletion. Diversions from the Wells cause depletion to Beebe Seep and thence the South Platte River. To the extent that depletion is out of priority, the purpose of this plan is to provide for replacement of such out of priority depletion in time, location and amount to the extent necessary to prevent injury to senior water rights. 5.4. Method for Determination Stream Depletions. Depletions to the river, based on consumptive use of ground water pumping, will be calculated using the AWAS Glover alluvial aquifer method as required by the GMS Decree. Input data needed for using the AWAS Glover alluvial aquifer method are the consumptive use of ground water and aquifer parameters for each well. The aquifer parameters that are needed include the following: 1) X, which is the perpendicular distance in feet between the river and the well (or recharge site). 2) W, which is the perpendicular distance in feet between the river and the boundary of the alluvial aquifer. 3) T, which is the transmissivity of the aquifer in gallons per day per foot; and 4) S, which is the specific yield (dimensionless) of the aquifer. Values for X, W, T and S were adopted from the GMS Decree. 5.5. Replacement of Out of Priority Depletions. Applicant will make replacement of out-of-priority depletions that cause material injury to senior vested water rights from the leased source which provides 169 acre-feet of reusable wastewater return flows over a seven year period. 5.6. Accounting and Reporting. Applicant will submit monthly accounting showing the replacement water deliveries to the division engineer on a monthly basis, or more frequently if required. The soils on the farm irrigated with Wells are very well drained. As a consequence, it is not possible to achieve high irrigation efficiencies on this farm. Rather than presuming a depletion factor, the consumptive use of ground water will be assumed to be the full monthly crop irrigation requirement, calculated using the modified Blaney-Criddle method, for the actual acres of crops irrigated with water from the Wells. 6. Name and Address of Owner of the Structures: Applicant owns the Wells. The City of Aurora, 15151 East Alameda Parkway, Suite 3600, Aurora, Colorado 80012 owns the leased water.

Water Rights to be used for Augmentation. The Wells are augmented by the augmentation plan of the Groundwater Management Subdistrict of the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District (GMS) Decreed in Case No. 02CW335 under Class D Contract No. 482. This plan of augmentation is for the purpose of allowing diversions from the Wells in addition to the annual quota of diversions permitted under the GMS plan. The source of water for this plan is fully consumable water rights leased from the City of Aurora in the amount of 260 acre feet. The lease will deliver the augmentation water from May 1, 2007 until April, 2013. 5. Plan for Augmentation. 5.1. Well Diversions. The Wells are used as the sole sources to flood irrigate 90 acres on the farm located as shown on Figure 1. This plan will cover depletions from the additional diversions above the annual quota of diversions permitted under the GMS plan. The GMS plan will augment depletions caused by the past pumping of this well during the 1974-2006 irrigation seasons. Applicant, not GMS, will be responsible for all additional depletions in 2007 and all future years above the annual quota of diversions permitted under the GMS plan. 5.2. Consumptive Use of Groundwater. The consumptive use of ground water and stream depletions attributable to the Wells were determined in accordance with the terms of the GMS Decree. 5.3. Depletion.

BASIN WATER RIGHTS. 1. Names of wells and permit, registration, or denial numbers: There are two permitted Dawson aquifer wells on the property, permit nos. 28311 and 175928. 2. Legal description of wells: Two additional wells in the Dawson aquifer, and one in each of the Denver, Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers, plus all necessary additional and/or replacement wells, to be located anywhere on Applicants� combined 40 acres consisting of the NW1/4 SE1/4 Section 9, T. 12 S., R. 65 W., 6th P.M., in El Paso County (the �Property�). The location of the Property is shown on a map attached as Figure 1. The Property is located entirely within Water Division 2. 3. Sources: Not nontributary Dawson aquifer; not nontributary Denver aquifer; nontributary Arapahoe aquifer; nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer. 5. Amount claimed: Dawson aquifer - 15 g.p.m. per well, 32.8 acre feet annually, absolute; Denver aquifer - 100 g.p.m., 25.2 acre feet annually, absolute; Arapahoe aquifer - 200 g.p.m., 17.3 acre feet annually, absolute; Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer - 100 g.p.m., 11.4 acre feet annually, absolute. The above amounts will be changed in any decree entered herein to take into account the State Engineer's Determination of Facts. The water court will be asked to retain jurisdiction over such decree to enter a final determination of the amount of water available for appropriation from each aquifer based on geophysical logs for such wells. 6. Proposed use: Indoor residential and commercial; swimming pool and/or hot tub; landscaping including irrigation and water �amenities� such as decorative pools and fountains, stock water, fire protection and augmentation. 7. Name and address of owner of land on which wells are/will be located: Same as Applicants. II. APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION. 8. Name of structures to be augmented: Up to four Dawson aquifer wells, two of which are already constructed. No other water rights are or will be diverted from these wells. After entry of a decree, the existing Dawson aquifer wells will be re-permitted consistent with the provisions of the decree. 9. Previous decrees for water rights to be used for augmentation: None. 11. Statement of plan for augmentation: Applicants intend to subdivide the Property into four ten-acre residential lots, each of which will be served by individual on-lot Dawson aquifer wells, each of which will be limited to 0.7 acre foot (228,100 gallons) annually. Indoor use for each of houses is expected to equal 0.26 acre foot annually. Treatment of waste water from indoor uses will be achieved using nonevaporative individual septic tanks and leach field systems (�ISDS�); consumption of water so treated will not exceed 10 percent of uses, with 90 percent, or 0.94 acre feet annually based on pumping of 2.8 acre feet, returning to the nearest stream. Depletions in the 300th year are modeled to equal approximately 22 percent of annual pumping, or 0.62 acre feet based on annual pumping of 2.8 acre feet, and then decline. So long as a single family dwelling is located on each lot, ISDS return flows alone will equal or exceed maximum stream depletions each year during pumping. Change of the type of wastewater treatment to a central sewage treatment with direct discharge to any tributary of Fountain Creek shall not require an amendment to this plan for augmentation, but change to any other type of waste water disposal shall require an amendment. Applicants propose to replace depletions during pumping with return flows from the ISDS, and to replace injurious post-pumping depletions with the nontributary Arapahoe aquifer water decreed herein, approximately 763 acre feet of which will be reserved for that purpose. However, Applicants seek to reserve the right to replace such depletions with any judicially acceptable source of augmentation water. Applicants further propose to aggregate all depletions and replace them to the Arkansas River drainage. Any final decree entered in this case shall provide that no more than 0.7 acre foot per year may be diverted from the each of the four Dawson aquifer wells absent an amendment of this plan for augmentation. Because depletions will occur in both Water Divisions 1 and 2, this application is being published in both water divisions, and will be consolidated in Water Division 2.

Name of Owner of the Land on Which Structures are Located: The owners of the Subject Property described herein are the Applicants herein, as named above. 13. Remarks: Applicants request: A. The right to withdraw more than the average annual amount estimated in paragraph 5B above pursuant to Rule 8A of the Statewide Rules, 2 C.C.R. 402-7; B. The right to revise the above estimate of the average annual amount available for withdrawal upward or downward, based on better or revised data, without the necessity of amending this application or republishing same; C. A quantification and adjudication of the ground water rights in each aquifer named herein to which Applicants are entitled to develop and use; and D. A confirmation of the right to use, reuse, successively use, and otherwise dispose of all nontributary ground water, after relinquishment of 2% thereof, and all not-nontributary ground water, after lawful compensation for modeled stream depletions. 14. Retained Jurisdiction: A. Applicants request the Court to retain jurisdiction for a period to be determined at the entry of the decree (1) to protect against injury to other water rights; (2) to resolve any controversy which may arise with respect to well construction or well location(s); and (3) to allow Applicants to file a separate application for the recapture and reuse of its return flows of reusable nontributary or fully augmented not nontributary ground water. B. Applicants request that any party or entity invoking such retained jurisdiction must make a prima facie case that injury to its water rights has been actually caused by Applicants’ ground water withdrawals.WHEREFORE, Applicants Bradley A. Whittlesey, David C. Whittlesey, Susan L. Whittlesey, and Cynthia L. Whittlesey request this Court enter a ruling and decree, finding substantially as follows: 1. The ground water rights claimed herein are final water rights, except as to those issues for which jurisdiction of the Court will be specifically retained; 2. Applicants have complied with § 37-90-137(4), C.R.S., and ground water is legally available for withdrawal from the nontributary Lower Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers, and from the not nontributary Upper Dawson aquifer, if any, after judicial approval of a augmentation plan to replace stream depletions caused by pumping from such aquifers, through wells to be located on the Applicants’ Property;3. Jurisdiction is to be retained with respect to the average annual amounts of withdrawal specified herein to provide for the adjustment of such amounts to conform to actual local aquifer characteristics from adequate information obtained from wells or test holes drilled on or near Applicants’ Property, pursuant to § 37-92-305(11), C.R.S.; 4. Applicants or their successors may construct wells into each aquifer anywhere on Applicants’ Property, pursuant to the ruling and decree to be entered in this matter, and without the necessity of filing any further amendments to this application, republishing this application, or reopening the decree to be awarded. All statutory well spacing requirements are waived with respect to the wells to be constructed on Applicants’ Property; 5. Vested or conditionally decreed water rights of others will not be materially injured by the withdrawals proposed herein; provided that no withdrawals of not-nontributary ground water will be made except pursuant to a court approved augmentation plan; 6.

80905 719-520-9288. Application for Adjudication of Denver Basin Ground Water and for Approval of Plan for Augmentation in EL PASO COUNTY. 1. Names of wells and permit, registration, or denial numbers: There is an old, unpermitted well on the property. 2. Legal description of wells: Two additional wells in the Dawson (three total), and one in each of the Denver, Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers, plus all necessary additional and/or replacement wells, to be located anywhere on Applicants� 15 acre property located in the NE1/4 SE1/4 Section 7, T. 12 S., R. 65 W., 6th P.M., in El Paso County (the �Property�). The legal description of the Property is attached as Exhibit A, and a map depicting its location is attached as Figure 1. The Property is located entirely within the Arkansas River drainage. 3. Sources: Not nontributary Dawson aquifer; not nontributary Denver aquifer; nontributary Arapahoe aquifer; nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer. 5. Amount claimed: Dawson aquifer - 15 g.p.m. per well, 8.9 acre feet annually, absolute; Denver aquifer - 100 g.p.m., 10.8 acre feet annually, abso-lute; Arapahoe aquifer - 200 g.p.m., 6.3 acre feet annually, absolute; Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer - 100 g.p.m., 4.3 acre feet annually, absolute. The above amounts will be changed in any decree entered herein to take into account the State Engineer's Determination of Facts. The water court will be asked to retain jurisdiction over such decree to enter a final determination of the amount of water available for appropriation from each aquifer based on geophysical logs for such wells. 6. Proposed use: Indoor residential; swimming pool and/or hot tub; landscaping including irrigation and water �amenities� such as decorative pools and fountains, stock water, fire protection and augmentation. 7. Name and address of owner of land on which wells are/will be located: Same as Applicants. 8. Name of structures to be augmented: Up to three Dawson aquifer wells, one of which is already constructed. No other water rights are or will be diverted from these wells. After entry of a decree, the existing Dawson aquifer well will be permitted consistent with the provisions of the decree. 9. Previous decrees for water rights to be used for augmentation: None. 10. Historic use: Not applicable. 11. Statement of plan for augmentation: Applicants intend to subdivide the Property into three five-acre residential lots, each of which will be served by individual on-lot Dawson aquifer wells which may pump no more than 0.7 acre foot (228,100 gallons) annually, each. Indoor use for each of houses is expected to equal 0.26 acre foot annually. Treatment of waste water from indoor uses will be achieved using nonevaporative individual septic tanks and leach field systems (�ISDS�); consumption of water so treated will not exceed 10 percent of uses, with 90 percent, or 0.7 acre feet annually, returning to the nearest stream. Depletions in the 300th year are modeled to equal approximately 23.38 percent of annual pumping, or 0.49 acre feet based on annual pumping of 2.1 acre feet. So long as a single family dwelling is located on each lot, ISDS return flows alone will equal or exceed maximum stream depletions each year during pumping. Change of the type of wastewater treatment to a central sewage treatment with direct discharge to any tributary of Fountain Creek shall not require an amendment to this plan for augmentation, but change to any other type of waste water disposal shall require an amendment. Applicants propose to replace depletions during pumping with return flows from the ISDS, and to replace injurious post-pumping depletions with the nontributary Arapahoe aquifer water decreed herein, approximately 563 acre feet of which will be reserved for that purpose. However, Applicants seek to reserve the right to replace such depletions with any judicially acceptable source of augmentation water. 12. Statement of alternate plan for augmentation. Applicants also seek the ability to augment depletions caused by pumping up to three Denver aquifer wells to provide a domestic water supply for the same three lots and same uses referenced in part II above. This would be instead of, and not in addition to, the Dawson aquifer augmentation plan, because it would use the same source of augmentation water, the Arapahoe aquifer. Pumping would be limited to 0.7 acre foot per lot, but not necessarily per well, per year, so that if one Denver aquifer well were used to provide water for all three lots, pumping would be limited to 2.1 acre feet annually. ISDS return flows would be used for the four percent return obligation during the 300 year pumping period.

All 630 acre feet of the Arapahoe aquifer water rights would be reserved to replace post-pumping depletions. 13. Miscellaneous provisions applicable to both augmentation plans. Applicants propose to aggregate all depletions and replace them to the Arkansas River drainage. Any final decree entered in this case shall provide that no more than 2.1 acre feet per year may be diverted from the Dawson or the Denver aquifer absent an amendment of this plan for augmentation. Because depletions will occur in both Water Divisions 1 and 2, this application is being published in both water divisions, and will be consolidated in Water Division 2, where the property is located. (Application and attachments, 8 pages) 07CW109 APPLICATION OF UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHTS FROM THE NOT NONTRIBUTARY DENVER AND NONTRIBUTARY ARAPAHOE AND LARAMIE-FOX HILLS AQUIFERS IN THE DENVER BASIN, IN EL PASO COUNTY. 1.

Well Permits: State Engineer Well Permit No. 134453 is an exempt domestic well, presented as Attachment B. 3. Legal Description of Wells and Subject Property. a) Existing Wells. Existing well having Permit Number 134453 is located in El Paso County on 5.18 acres of land described as the NE1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 03, Township 12 South, Range 65 West of the 6th PM, Lot 21 in Pine Glen having the street address of 13915 Pine Glen Drive West, Colorado Springs CO 80908. b) Additional Wells. Additional wells may be drilled into the Denver Basin aquifers pursuant to this application and subsequent decree. Well permit applications for well(s) to be drilled into the Denver Basin Aquifers which are subject to this application will be applied for prior to well drilling. The well(s) will be located at any location on applicant’s property consisting of approximately 5.18 acres of land located in El Paso County, described as the NE1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 03, Township 12 South, Range 65 West of the 6th PM, Lot 21 in Pine Glen having the street address of 13915 Pine Glen Drive West, Colorado Springs CO, in El Paso County. 4. Source, Pumping Rates and Depth. a) Not- nontributary Ground Water.The source of the groundwater to be withdrawn from the Dawson aquifer is not-nontributary as described in 37-90-103(10.7) and 37-90-137(9)(c), C.R.S. Applicant plans to retain the existing permit for the exempt well located in the Dawson aquifer on the Subject Property. Permit is provided as Attachment B. Well(s) to withdraw the remaining available Dawson aquifer groundwater will require replacement to the effected stream system of an amount of water equal to either the actual depletions caused by pumping such wells or four percent (4%) of the amount of water withdrawn pursuant to a judicially approved plan for augmentation. No such plan is sought herein. b) Nontributary Ground Water. The groundwater to be withdrawn from the Denver, Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers is nontributary groundwater as described in 37-90-103(10.5), C.R.S. Applicant will comply with the requirement to relinquish two percent (2%) of all such nontributary ground water withdrawn to the stream system. c) Average Pumping Rates and Well Depths, Future Wells. The wells will withdraw the subject groundwater at rates of flow necessary to efficiently withdraw the entire decreed amounts. Applicants will withdraw the subject groundwater through wells to be located at any location on the Subject Property. Applicants waive the 600 foot spacing rule as described in Section 37-90-137(2) C.R.S. for wells located on the Subject Property. Applicants also claim the right to construct additional and/or replacement wells in order to maintain levels of production, to meet water supply demands, or to recover the entire amount of groundwater in each of said aquifers underlying the Subject Property. Based on an average ground surface elevation of 7683 feet above mean sea level, on the Subject Property, the approximate depths to the top and bottom of each aquifer are as follows: Aquifer Depth to Top

(feet below ground surface) Depth to Bottom (feet below ground surface)

Dawson 0 1065 Denver 1150 2020 Arapahoe 2065 2550 Laramie-Fox Hills 2795 3140

These depths are approximate and are based on geologic and topographic information available from the Colorado State Engineers’ Office. Actual well completion depth(s) may vary from these estimates based on the actual geologic conditions below the Subject Property. 5. Date of Appropriation. Pursuant Section 37-92-305 (11) C.R.S. the date of appropriation, the date the water was applied to beneficial use, and the manner of initiation of the water rights sought herein are not applicable to the not- nontributary and nontributary groundwater rights sought herein, and no showings of, or applications for, reasonable diligence are required with respect to such water rights. 6. Amount Claimed. The estimated average annual amounts available for withdrawal from the aquifers underlying the Subject Property, as indicated below, are based on the Denver Basin Rules, 2 C.C.R. 402-6. The amount of available water for the Dawson aquifer reflects the total amount underlying the property and will be adjusted reserving 1-acre ft per year, 100 acre-feet total, based on a 100 year supply, to meet the permit requirements of the existing exempt well. Applicants estimate the following annual amounts are representative of the Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers underlying the Subject Property: Aquifer

Saturated Thickness (feet)

Specific Yield (percent)

Estimated Amount Available (Acre-ft)

Dawson (NNT) 490 20 5.07 Denver (NT) 385 17 3.40 Arapahoe (NT) 265 17 2.33 Laramie-Fox Hills (NT) 185 15 1.44

Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-305(11), Applicants request the Court to retain jurisdiction as necessary to provide for the adjustment of the average annual amount of groundwater in the not-nontributary Dawson, and nontributary Denver, Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers of the Denver Basin underlying the subject property to conform to actual local aquifer characteristics as determined from adequate information obtained from well drilling or test holes. a) Banking. As allowed by the “banking” provisions of Rule 8.A of the Statewide Nontributary Groundwater Rules 2C.C.R. 402-7, Applicants claim the right to withdraw more water each year from each of the aquifers than the average amount available annually from each aquifer, so long as the sum of the withdrawals from all the wells completed into each aquifer does not exceed the product of the average annual amount of withdrawal available from that aquifer times the number of years since the date of issuance of a permit to construct a well into the aquifer, or the date of this decree, whichever date occurs first. b) Well Field Provisions. Consistent with Rule 14 of the Statewide Nontributary Groundwater Rules, Applicants claim the right to produce the total allowed annual amount of withdrawal claimed hereunder for each aquifer, including amounts claimed from each aquifer pursuant to the “banking” provision of Rule 8.A through a single well drilled into each aquifer or through a combination of wells drilled into each aquifer. c)Adjustments Based on Site-Specific Data. As wells are drilled and site-specific data are obtained for each aquifer, different characteristics and sand thickness may be proven to exist and the total amount of groundwater available may change. Accordingly, Applicants request the right to revise these estimates and to obtain a decree for whatever amount of groundwater is shown to be in the Aquifers without the necessity of amending this application or republishing the same. 8. Proposed Uses. Water withdrawn through the existing exempt well located in the Dawson aquifer on the Subject Property will be used in accordance with the uses specified in permit 134453. The remaining ground water in the Dawson aquifer and the Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills ground water withdrawn pursuant the water rights claimed herein may be

APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHTS AND APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION, IN EL PASO COUNTY. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF CHANGE OF WATER RIGHTS 2. Description of requested changes: A. Case No. 94CW198, District Court, Water Division 1, as decreed on March 18, 1996, and Consolidated Case Nos. 00CW60, District Court, Water Division 2, and 00CW094, District Court, Water Division 1, as decreed on November 5, 2001. The land associated with Case No. 94CW198 is approximately 26.2 acres and the land associated with Consolidated Case Nos. 00CW60 and 00CW094 is approximately 40 acres of land. The total 66.2 acres is owned by Applicants and is generally located in part of the S1/2 of Section 22, T11S, R66W of the 6th P.M., as shown on Attachment A hereto. Said parcels are contiguous and the land and water decreed in the cases are owned by Applicants. The decreed annual amounts of water in acre-feet are as follows: Case No. 94CW198 Case Nos. 00CW60 and 00CW094 Dawson: 23.4 (NNT) Dawson: 30.0 (NNT) Denver: 25.1 (NNT) Denver: 33.8 (NNT) Arapahoe: 10.7 (NT) Arapahoe: 16.1 (NT) Laramie-Fox Hills: 7.9 (NT) Laramie-Fox Hills: 11.9 (NT) Applicants request that the decreed amounts in Case No. 94CW198 be withdrawn in combination with the decreed amounts in the same aquifers as decreed in Consolidated Case Nos. 00CW60 and 00CW094, through wells to be located on the land which is the subject of either decree, at rates of flow which may be necessary to withdraw the entire combined annual amounts efficiently. B. In Consolidated Case Nos. 00CW60 and 00CW094, an augmentation plan was approved which allowed withdrawal of 8.8 acre-feet per year for 300 years (2640 acre-feet total) of not nontributary Dawson aquifer groundwater, for use through up to 16 individual wells. Each well is decreed to allow withdrawal and use 0.55 acre-feet per year for inhouse use (0.3 acre-feet), irrigation of 3500 square-feet (0.2 acre-feet), and stockwatering of 4 large domestic animals (0.05 acre-feet). In Case No. 94CW198, and augmentation plan was approved which allowed withdrawal of 17 acre-feet per year for 100 years of not nontributary Dawson aquifer groundwater through 17 individual wells (one acre-foot per well). By this application, Applicant requests that 3.3 acre-feet per year and 990 acre-feet total of the 17 acre-feet per year approved for withdrawal in Case No. 98CW198 be changed to be withdrawn in combination with the 8.8

acre-feet decreed in the augmentation plan in Consolidated Case Nos. 00CW60 and 00CW094 for the same use per well over a 300 year pumping period. The total amount to be withdrawn is 12.1 acre-feet per year for a 300 year period (3630 acre-feet total) through up to 22 individual wells (0.55 acre-feet per well) for the same uses previously decreed in Consolidated Case Nos. 00CW60 and 00CW094. Operation of the combined augmentation plan will be pursuant to the terms and conditions of the decree in Consolidated Case Nos. 00CW60 and 00CW094. A total of 3630 acre-feet total of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property as decreed in Case No. 98CW198 and Consolidated Case Nos. 00CW60 and 00CW094 will be reserved for replacement of post-pumping depletions associated with this requested change. The remaining 7.1 acre-feet per year originally decreed to be withdrawn in Case No. 94CW198 will be used over a 300 year period for additional uses in the augmentation plan requested below. APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION 3. Groundwater to be augmented: 3.4 acre-feet per year of not nontributary Dawson aquifer groundwater to be withdrawn over a 300 year pumping period as decreed in Case No. 94CW198 and Consolidated Case Nos. 00CW60 and 00CW094. Applicant requests that the water to be withdrawn under this new plan be operated in combination with and in conjunction with the terms and conditions of Consolidated Case Nos. 00CW60 and 00CW094. A. Water rights to be used for augmentation: Return flows from the use of not nontributary Dawson aquifer water and return flows and direct discharge of nontributary aquifer groundwater as previously decreed in this court in the decrees described above. B. Statement of plan for augmentation: By this application, one acre-foot per year for 300 years will be used through one individual well to serve one residence for inhouse use (0.3 acre-feet), irrigation of up to 10,500 square-feet of irrigated area (0.6 acre-feet), and stockwatering of eight large domestic animals (0.1 acre-feet), and 2.4 acre-feet per year for 300 years will be withdrawn through one or more individual wells for storage purposes. The residence will utilize a non-evaporative septic system. Consumptive use associated with inhouse use will be approximately 10% of water used and it is estimated that approximately 10% of water used for irrigation will be returned to the stream system. Stockwatering and storage use will be considered to be 100% consumed. C. During pumping Applicants will replace actual depletions to the affected stream systems pursuant to Section 37-90-137(9)(c), C.R.S. Because depletions may occur to stream systems in Water Divisions 1 and 2, this application is being filed in both divisions. Return flows from use of the water on the Subject Property may return to the South Platte stream system and the Arkansas stream system and such return flows are sufficient to replace the required amount of replacement. If not, Applicants request that the total actual amount of depletion to all stream systems be returned to the South Platte River stream system and for a finding that those replacements are sufficient. Excess return flows generated by use of Dawson water in the original augmentation plans may be claimed to offset depletions under this augmentation plan if necessary. Applicants will reserve an equal amount of nontributary groundwater as decreed in Case No. 94CW198 and Consolidated Case Nos. 00CW60 and 00CW094 to meet post pumping augmentation requirements, but reserve the right to substitute the use of other nontributary groundwater underlying the other land, including return flows, for replacement of post-pumping depletions at such time that post-pumping depletions may begin. 07CW114 APPLICATION FOR UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHTS FROM NONTRIBUTARY AND NOT NONTRIBUTARY SOURCES, IN THE DENVER, ARAPAHOE AND LARAMIE-FOX HILLS AQUIFERS IN DOUGLAS COUNTY, COLORADO. 1.

Each lot will utilize a non-evaporative septic system. Consumptive use associated with inhouse use will be approximately 10% of water used and it is estimated that approximately 10% of water used for irrigation will be returned to the stream system. Applicant requests that this plan for augmentation be operated in combination with an augmentation plan previously approved for withdrawal of the same type of groundwater in the decrees described in paragraph 2.A. D. During pumping Applicant will replace actual depletions to the affected stream systems pursuant to Section 37-90-137(9)(c), C.R.S. Because depletions may occur to stream systems in Water Divisions 1 and 2, this application is being filed in both divisions. Return flows from use of the water on the Subject Property may return to the South Platte River stream system and the Arkansas River stream system and such return flows are sufficient to replace the required amount of replacement. If not, Applicant requests that the total actual amount of depletion to all stream systems be returned to the South Platte River stream system and for a finding that those replacements are sufficient. In the alternative, Applicant or successors in interest will begin replacement of depletions to the Arkansas River stream system by utilizing nontributary Denver aquifer groundwater at the time that actual depletions begin to that system, in conjunction with an augmentation plan in the decrees described in paragraph 2.A. Applicant will reserve an adequate amount of the nontributary groundwater underlying the land to meet post pumping augmentation requirements. 07CW116 EDMUNDSON LAND, LLC, c/o Matt Edmundson, 15300 E. 132nd Avenue, Brighton, CO 80601; c/o Anne J.

Email: [email protected], [email protected]. CONCERNING THE APPLICATION FOR DETERMINATION OF NONTRIBUTARY AND NOT NONTRIBUTARY UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHTS OF EDMUNDSON, LLC, IN WELD COUNTY. Claim to Ground Water in the Upper Arapahoe, Lower Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifers: Applicant is the owner of a parcel of approximately 141.2 acres of land located in Weld County, more specifically described below (the “Property”), and through this application, Applicant claims all of the ground water in the Upper Arapahoe, Lower Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers underlying the Property. Wells and Well Permits: Applicant will apply for well permits prior to construction of any wells. Applicant will locate a sufficient number of wells on the Property to withdraw all ground water in the Upper Arapahoe, Lower Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers underlying the Property. The wells may be constructed at any location on the Property subject to Colo. Rev. Stat. § 37-90-137(4). A well permit has been issued for the withdrawal of nontributary water from the Lower Arapahoe aquifer underlying the Property (Well Permit No. 65453). Applicant may establish a well field for the production of the ground water that is the subject of this application and shall be entitled to well permits for additional wells pursuant to Colo. Rev. Stat. § 37-90-137(10). Total Amount of Water Claimed: Applicant seeks a decree confirming its right to all unappropriated water underlying the Property in the Upper Arapahoe, Lower Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers. The estimated average annual amounts of withdrawal from the subject aquifers as indicated below, are based upon the Denver

Basin Rules, 2 C.C.R. § 402-6. For purposes of this application, Applicant estimates that the following annual amounts are representative of the Upper Arapahoe, Lower Arapahoe, and Laramie Fox-Hills aquifers underlying the Property: Upper Arapahoe Aquifer: 11.4 acre-feet per year; 17% specific yield; 47 feet average saturated thickness; Lower Arapahoe Aquifer: 22.5 acre-feet per year; 17% specific yield; 94 feet average saturated thickness; Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer: 34.0 acre-feet per year; 15% specific yield; 160 feet average saturated thickness. Applicant requests that the annual amounts of withdrawal be adjusted to conform to actual local aquifer characteristics when adequate information is obtained from well drilling or test holes. Applicant claims all nontributary and not nontributary ground water underlying the Property and requests the right to revise the estimated amounts of water available from the subject aquifers upward or downward, based on better or updated data, without the necessity of amending this application or republishing same. Applicant requests confirmation of its ability to withdraw the ground water in the Upper Arapahoe, Lower Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers from the wells to be constructed in the future in excess of the average annual amount decreed, so long as the sum of the total withdrawals from the aquifer does not exceed the product of the total number of years since the date of issuance of the well permit or the date of this Court’s decree, whichever occurs first, and the amount of average annual withdrawal. Applicant will supplement this application with evidence that the State Engineer has issued or failed to issue, within four months of the filing of the application with this Court, a determination as to the facts of this application. Character of Ground Water: Applicant asserts that the annual withdrawal of the amounts of Lower Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers ground water specified above, subject to the terms and conditions proposed herein, will not result in material injury to the vested water rights of others and will not, within 100 years, deplete the flow of the natural stream at an annual rate greater than one-tenth of one percent of the annual rate of withdrawal and the ground water is nontributary as defined in Colo. Rev. Stat. § 37-90-103(10.5). In order to assure that no vested water rights are materially affected by withdrawals of this nontributary ground water, no more than ninety-eight percent of the water withdrawn annually from any of the future wells shall be consumed by Applicant. Applicant asserts that the ground water to be withdrawn from the Upper Arapahoe aquifer pursuant to this application is not nontributary ground water pursuant to Colo. Rev. Stat. § 37-90-103 (10.7). Thus, ground water from the Upper Arapahoe aquifer will not be used until a plan for augmentation is approved by the Court pursuant to Colo. Rev. Stat. § 37-90-137 (9)(c). Applicant asserts that it is entitled to a decree determining its rights to the water in the Upper Arapahoe aquifer underlying its land prior to the approval of any augmentation plan so long as such a plan is proposed and approved prior to the use of the water from the Upper Arapahoe aquifer. Proposed Use of Water: The water withdrawn from the proposed wells will be used for all existing and future beneficial purposes, including, without limitation, domestic, municipal, irrigation, commercial, industrial, storage, augmentation, replacement, fire protection, recreation, livestock watering, dust control, and fish and wildlife. Applicant claims the right to store, recapture, the right of reuse and successive use and, after use, the right to lease, sell, or otherwise dispose of said water. The right of successive use shall include the use and claiming of credit for any return flows generated, subject only to the provisions of Colo. Rev. Stat. § 37-82-106, and to Applicant’s obligation to consume no more than ninety-eight percent of the nontributary water withdrawn annually from the wells described herein, pursuant to Rule 8 of the Denver Basin Rules. Said water will be produced for immediate application to beneficial use, for storage and subsequent application to beneficial use, for exchange purposes, for replacement of depletions, for relinquishment pursuant to Colo. Rev. Stat. § 37-90-137(9)(b), and for any other augmentation purpose. Description of the Land Overlying the Subject Nontributary and Not Nontributary Ground Water: The Property consists of approximately 141.2 acres of land overlying the Upper Arapahoe, Lower Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers, described as follows: The Southeast 1/4 of Section 30, Township 1 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., except that portion conveyed in the Deed recorded in Book 406 at Page 282 (Beebe Seep Canal),

*Applicants will reserve part of the Upper Dawson aquifer water for use through existing exempt wells on the Subject Property. 6. Well Field: Applicants request that this Court determine that Applicants have the right to withdraw all of the legally available groundwater lying below the Subject Property, through wells which may be located anywhere on the Subject Property, and any additional wells which may be completed in the future as Applicants' well fields. As additional wells are constructed, applications will be filed in accordance with 37-90-137(10), C.R.S. 7. Proposed Use: Applicants will use, reuse, and successively use the water for domestic, commercial, industrial, irrigation, livestock watering, fire protection, and augmentation purposes, both on and off the Subject Property. 8. Jurisdiction: The Water Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this application pursuant to 37-92-302(2), and 37-90-137(6), C.R.S. 9. Description of plan for augmentation: A. Groundwater to be augmented: Approximately 4 acre-feet per year over a pumping period of 100 years of Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater as requested herein as described in paragraph 5 above. B. Water rights to be used for augmentation: Return flows from the use of not nontributary and nontributary groundwater and direct discharge of nontributary ground water. C. Statement of plan for augmentation: Applicants will use the Upper Dawson water to supply up to two residences (including existing well Permit No. 257350), which will operate at rates of flow not to exceed 15 gpm. The annual amount will be limited to approximately 4 acre-feet per year for inhouse use in two residences (0.4 acre-feet per residence and 0.8 acre-feet total), irrigation of one acre of home lawn and garden and trees (2.5 acre-feet), stockwatering of up to 12 large domestic animals (0.15 acre-feet), and storage (0.55 acre-feet). Applicants reserve the right to amend these values based on final planning of the Subject Property without amending the application or republishing the same. Sewage treatment for inhouse use will be provided by a non-evaporative septic system. Return flows from in-house use will be approximately 90% of water used and 10% of water used for irrigation will be returned to the stream system. Stockwatering and storage use will be 100% consumptively used. During pumping Applicants will replace actual depletions to the affected stream system pursuant to 37-90-137(9)(c), C.R.S. Applicants estimate that depletions may occur to the Cherry Creek and Coal Creek stream systems. Return flows from use of the subject water rights via those stream systems will accrue to the South Platte River stream system, and those return flows are sufficient to replace actual depletions while the subject groundwater is being pumped. Applicants will reserve an equal amount of nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer groundwater underlying the Subject Property to meet post pumping augmentation requirements, but reserves the right to substitute the use of other nontributary groundwater, including return flows, either underlying the Subject Property, or from another location which is legally available for such purpose, for replacement of post-pumping depletions at such time that post-pumping depletions may begin. 10. Remarks: A. Applicants claim the right to withdraw more than the average annual amounts estimated in paragraph 5B above pursuant to Rule 8A of the Statewide Rules, 2 C.C.R. 402-7. B. Applicants will withdraw part of the not nontributary Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater requested herein under the plan of augmentation requested herein pursuant to 37-90-137(9)(c), C.R.S. 07CW120.

and substitution purposes, with the understanding that the amount will be reduced to the difference between 50 acre feet and the volume of water decreed in Case No. 94CW290 for the same 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. The purpose of this augmentation plan is to provide a water supply for a residential development located on approximately 102 acres in portions of Section 28, Township 5 South, Range 71 West, 6th P.M., Jefferson County. A map of the service area is depicted on the attached Exhibit "A." Approximately 100 single-family homes will be served. b. Water for the development will be supplied from a central water system using water obtained from the Sprucedale Infiltration Gallery Nos. 1 and 2, and the Sprucedale Ditch. Use of water is limited to in-house purposes within single-family residences. Twelve of the homes to be served currently exist and have been occupied for varying lengths of time ranging from eighteen months to five and one-half years. Water usage at each residence has been metered. The average usage of water has been documented to be 126 gallons per day per residence. This augmentation plan has been designed to accommodate an average daily water usage of 150 gallons per residence. Total projected water usage under the plan is not anticipated to exceed 16.8 acre-feet per year. Depletions will be replaced in accordance with measured water deliveries to customers. c. Wastewater from all in-building uses of water is currently or will be treated utilizing engineered individual sewage disposal/recharge systems, also known as septic tank/soil absorption systems. Return flows are to Cub Creek. A mechanical type of central wastewater treatment facility may be constructed in the future. d. Depletions associated with water which is used inside buildings will be based on a ten percent (10%) consumption factor if wastewater is treated using septic tank leach field systems, and five percent (5%) if wastewater is treated using a mechanical type wastewater treatment facility. Maximum stream depletions are not anticipated to exceed 1.98 acre-feet per year. The figure includes evaporation losses from an on-site reservoir. Monthly depletions will average approximately 0.17 of an acre-foot per month if all wastewater is treated using septic tank leach field systems. 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. In the alternative, replacement water may be released from an on-site reservoir or from a reservoir available to MMRC located upstream of the confluence of Cub Creek and Bear Creek. g. Since the point of depletion associated with water use from the development described herein is on a side tributary of Bear Creek and upstream of the Harriman Ditch headgate, the Applicants assert an appropriative right of substitute supply and exchange pursuant to C.R.S. §37-

Page 35: MAY 2007 07CW93 JAMES R. AND BARBARA J. WACKER, 35 … · MAY 2007 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1 Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302,

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 Cub Creek located in the SW 1/4 NE1/4 of Section 10, Township 5 South, Range 71 West, 6th P.M.; and thence up Cub Creek to the point where depletions from the development impact Cub Creek in the NE 1/4 NW 1/4 of Section 28, Township 5 South, Range 71 West, 6th P.M. The exchange will operate to replace depletions to the flow of water in Cub Creek, Bear Creek and the South Platte River as the depletions occur. The exchange will also be used to fill an on-site reservoir. The exchange will be administered with a priority date of May 31, 2007, at a maximum flow rate of 0.3 of a cubic foot per second. 4. Names and Addresses of Owners of Land on which New Structures will be Located: N/A. WHEREFORE, the Applicants request 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. The Applicants also request a determination that the Sprucedale Infiltration Gallery Nos. 1 and 2, and the Sprucedale Ditch can be operated without curtailment so long as out-of-priority stream depletions are replaced as proposed herein. To the extent determined to be needed, Applicants also request that the State Engineer be required to issue well permits for the Sprucedale Infiltration Gallery Nos. 1 and 2.

Such water is developed water with respect to any surface stream system or alluvial aquifer into which it might be introduced or become a part there of. The rights approved and decreed in Case No. 85CW166 include the rights to withdraw, reuse, successively use and dispose of by sale, exchange or otherwise, to extinction, all of such water. 6. Project demands and depletions: Based on historic diversion records, accounts, and projected uses, total projected diversions by CCWUA are anticipated to be approximately 84.3 acre-feet annually. This includes 12.53 acre-feet of surface evaporation occurring from Mueller Pond, identified in paragraph 3.E, above. Projected diversions are summarized in the attached Table 1. Net out-of-priority depletions, including lagged stream depletions, are estimated to be approximately 67.2 acre-feet. The net consumption for each structure is set forth in the attached Table 2 and stream depletions (net consumption lagged) are provided in Table 3. The calculated surface evaporation from Mueller Pond is set forth in attached Table 4. CCWUA reserves the right to change the mix of uses, the number of augmented structures, and the amount of diversions and depletions hereunder, provided that the out-of-priority depletions do not exceed the available augmentation water. 7. Statement of plan for augmentation: CCWUA will replace all out-of-priority depletions from the water rights described in Paragraph 3.A through 3.S, above, in the required time, place, and amount, with releases of water into the Cherry Creek and South Platte River systems, from the sources described in Paragraph 4, above. This augmentation plan will be operated in substantially the same manner as Applicant’s approved Substitute Water Supply Plan. Releases of Denver aquifer and Lower Dawson aquifer may be made directly into Cherry Creek at the following locations: Lower Dawson Aquifer Augmentation Water Point of Direct Discharge: SE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 27, Township 7S, Range 66W of the 6th P.M., at a point approximately 2,060 feet from the North Section Line and 1,790 feet from the West section line.

the East section line. Additionally, Applicant may utilize a recharge gallery to control the rate and timing of augmentation replacements from the Denver aquifer, Well Permit No. 31769-F, to the Cherry Creek and South Platte River systems, which will occur through the Mueller Recharge Gallery. The Mueller Recharge Gallery is an unlined recharge facility consisting of an underground drainage pipe that infiltrates at a constant rate of approximately 30 gpm, for a total of 48 acre-feet annually. The location of the Mueller Recharge Gallery is depicted on the attached Exhibit A. The Mueller Recharge Gallery and the point of accretion to Cherry Creek of augmentation water placed in this structure are more particularly described as follows: Mueller Recharge Gallery: SW 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 12, Township 9 South, Range 66 West, of the 6th P.M. at a point approximately 1400 feet from the North section line and approximately 2350 feet from the East section line, Douglas County, Colorado. The structure is located on property owned by Phillip A. and Elaine L. Mueller, 4990 S. Highway 83, Franktown, CO 80116, (303) 688-7415. Denver Basin Point of Accretion to Cherry Creek: SE 1/4 of Section 1, Township 9S, Range 66W of the 6th P.M., at a point approximately 910 feet from the South Section Line and 1,800 feet from the East section line. Lagged depletion curves for each augmented structure included in the plan have been determined using the Glover methodology, Darcy’s law, or Modflow model (AUG3 model) developed by the Colorado Division of Water Resources. Net stream depletions are computed by subtracting the lagged return flows accruing to the stream (included that from recharge pit seepage), from the lagged stream depletion occurring from the use of water diverted by each structure. Total out-of-priority depletions for CCWUA’s augmented structures will be completed and recorded on a monthly basis. Replacement of these depletions will be made by augmentation releases in cooperation with the Division Engineer and Water Commissioner. CCWUA will provide an accounting of all plan operations to the Division Engineer by December 1st of each irrigation year. Diversions by all members will be metered. The annual accounting report, as well as monthly accounting record, shall be in a form acceptable to the Division Engineer. Applicant may add augmented structures and additional sources of augmentation water to this plan in cooperation with the Division Engineer or by filing an application to amend this plan. Such new structures and sources of replacement water may also be temporarily included in this plan under a substitute water supply plan approved by the Colorado Division of Water Resources.
