Business district could be historyOpponent’s petitions spell end to South Broadway entityBy Tom [email protected]
The final chapter is being written in the history of the South Broadway Business Im-provement District.
The curtain started to come down at the June 17 Englewood City Council meeting, when Bob Laughlin, BID president, said the district had ceased efforts to overturn the validity of the dissolution petitions.
“The goal of the BID has always been to make Englewood a better place to own or operate a business,” he said. “Unfortunate-ly, we were not able to rally enough support to overturn the dissolution petitions. We now bow to the decision of the city council in regards to the distribution of the district’s assets.”
The South Broadway Business Improve-ment District was formed by election in 2006 and includes all commercial proper-ties on both sides of Broadway from Yale Avenue to U.S. Highway 285. Proponents sought to create the self-taxing, self-gov-erned program to finance projects above and beyond those provided by governmen-tal agencies.
Merchants along the stretch of Broad-way launched the successful grass-roots ef-fort to create the business district, followed the process and, in the required November 2006 election, property owners voted al-most 2-1 to create the district.
However, not every property owner in the district was pleased with its creation or
Crews demolishing old Flood schoolWork began June 13 to clear site for apartment complexBy Tom [email protected]
The resounding crash of falling bricks, wood and debris replaced the normal quiet at Kenyon and Lincoln June 13 as demoli-tion of Flood Middle School began.
On the morning of June 14, Alpine De-molition had two men on the job — one man at the controls of the 450-ton backhoe excavator and the other spraying water on the site to keep down the dust.
The equipment operator used the power of the machine to pull down walls, rip out supports and knock down floors. He also used the jaws of the bucket to delicately lift pieces of metal from the debris and drop them in a separate pile to be recycled.
The excavator pulled down outside walls
exposing former classrooms that still in-clude some fixtures like an occasional desk or bookcase.
Billy Major, head of project general con-tractor Major Environmental, said the de-molition would take about a month.
“Crews are demolishing a building that is probably a total of 115,000 square feet. It is a big job and the crews will do it a step at a time,” he said. “They will continue to take down much of the south end of the build-ing and then move north, gradually clearing the concrete floor, which is a better surface for operating the backhoe. The debris will be piled up on site. There will be separate piles including the piles of bricks and metal that will be recycled. Once the building is down, they will begin trucking the debris away to clear the site.”
The property covers about 4.4 acres, which includes the 109,000-square-foot school building that fronts on Broadway for almost two blocks as well as a sizable, grass-
covered lot to the east across Lincoln Street.Once the school building is demolished
and the site cleared, plans are to construct a complex containing 310 apartments. There will be two, four-story buildings, one on the Flood site and one on the grassy lot to the east. The concept is to design the buildings so all tenant parking is on the site.
Charlene Overhill pulled her car to the curb and got out to watch the demolition.
“I hate to see this happen. That was my school and I have fond memories of my years there and the friends I made when we lived in Englewood,” the Littleton resi-dent said. “I just happened to be in the area and wanted to see the site while most of the building was still standing. I guess our beloved school is just a victim of time and progress.”
The demolition crew first knocked down the southeast corner of the building, de-

Elks hold Flag Day ceremony in EnglewoodLodge stages presentation about banner’s historyBy Tom [email protected]
Englewood Elks Lodge 2122 held its an-nual Flag Day ceremony on June 15.
“In 1911, The Elks Grand Lodge adopted the resolution establishing June 14 as Flag Day and established mandatory obser-vance of Flag Day by every Elks lodge,” said Chris Blakely, exalted ruler of the Engle-wood lodge. “Our program today seeks to help people understand how the symbol of our country evolved to the flag we fly to-day.”
President Harry Truman established June 14 as Flag Day, but Pennsylvania is the
only state that has established Flag Day as a recognized holiday for its employees.
For the June 15 event, a podium and flag stands were set up near the south end of the lodge parking lot. Blakely officiated, and as he talked about each flag, a member of the lodge brought in the flag and posted it in the stand.
The presentation talked about nine dif-ferent American flags and the POW flag. Flags posted include two flown by colonies in the 1760s to the one flown by the Conti-nental Army during the Revolutionary War. There were several changes made to the flag until the design evolved to the 50-star flag we fly today.
Blakely and other lodge officials also talked about lodge and its community ser-vice programs.
Julie Saltzman of Littleton jotted down
some notes during the presentation as she sat in the audience of about 50 people at-tending the presentation.
“A friend told me about today’s program and I decided to come because I really don’t as much as I should the history of our flag,” she said. “My parents came to the States from Poland and I was born in Nebraska. I went to school there but I don’t remember learning much about the history of our flag. Because this is my country and my flag, I wanted to know more about it.”
She said the program was very
informative,and some of the things she learned, she planned to teach her grand-children.
Blakely said after the presentation that he would like to find a way to attract more people to the annual Flag Day ceremony.
“We did have some people stop by be-cause we invited some members of the Military Vehicles Collectors of Colorado to bring and display some of their equip-ment,” he said. “We want to invite them back next year and hopefully we’ll have a bigger crowd.”

Council, school board elections scheduledBy Tom [email protected]
Englewood residents will elect a munici-pal judge, three city council members and three school board members on Nov. 5.
Voters will elect city council representa-tives in District 2, District 4 and one at-large candidate.
Rick Gillit, District 4 representative, will seek re-election.
District 2 representative Linda Olson and Mayor Pro Tem Jim Woodward, the at-large representative whose term expires in November, have not officially announced whether or not they will seek another term on the council.
Englewood resident Tim Donohoo has declared himself a candidate for the at-large council position.
Municipal Judge Vince Atencio also has not officially stated if he will seek another term as the state’s only elected municipal judge.
Although November’s election day is more than four months away, the process for city council and municipal judge candi-dates begins July 1 when the city clerk has candidate information packets ready.
Residents running for city council or municipal judge must collect the signatures of at least 50 registered voters on nominat-ing petitions to qualify to be on the No-vember ballot. The at-large and municipal
judge candidates can collect petition signa-tures citywide. The District 2 and District 4 candidates must collect the signatures of at least 50 registered voters who are residents of the candidate’s district.
School board members who have terms expiring in November and are eligible to seek another term are Gene Turnbull and Tom O’Connor. O’Connor was appointed to fill a vacancy on the board in 2009 so, by law, to remain on the board he must seek a full term in the next municipal election.
School board president Scott Gorsky’s term expires in November but, because of term limits, he is not eligible to seek re-election.
All registered voters in the school district are eligible to vote for school board candi-dates.
Like residents running for city coun-cil, school board candidates must collect at least 50 signatures of registered voters on their nominating petitions to get their name on the November ballot.
The petitions will be available from the school administration building on Aug. 7. The completed petitions must be returned to the executive assistant to the superinten-dent and school board by 5 p.m. Aug. 30.
The city also has placed a non-binding question on the November ballot, asking residents if all aspects of the recreational marijuana industry should be prohibited in Englewood.
Fire bans affect county, Centennial, EnglewoodStaff report
Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Rob-inson has issued a ban on all open fires and open burning in Centennial, unincorpo-rated Arapahoe County and Cherry Creek State Park. Englewood followed suit with a ban covering the same activities.
Both bans, effective June 13, will remain in effect until further notice.
In a statement from the sheriff’s office, Robinson says existing conditions “pres-ent an extreme danger for the possibility of wildfire and large wildland fires.”
The bans cover open fires or open burn-ing. Banned activities include: the use of fireworks; any outdoor fires, including but not limited to campfires, fires in perma-nent fire pits or fire grates within developed camp and picnic grounds or recreation sites, charcoal-fueled fires, warming fires, fires in outdoor wood-burning stoves, and any trash or debris fires.
The county ban is enforced as an or-dinance violation that, upon conviction, packs a $500 fine for the first offense, $750 for a second offense, and $1,000 for third and subsequent offenses.
The county ban is the result of discus-sions between the sheriff’s office, area fire chiefs, the county commissioners and the City of Centennial.
For more information, contact the sher-iff at 720-874-4165.
ExCEptions to burn ban
• Fires contained within liquid-fueled or gas stoves, fire-places and wood-burning stoves/fireplaces within habit-able buildings.
• Propane/LP/natural gas-fueled barbecue grills, which do not produce or emit sparks or embers when used.
• Charcoal-fueled grills and pits used for cooking or warming food, which do not produce or emit sparks or embers when used.
• Propane/LP/natural gas-fueled fire pits that do not produce or emit sparks or embers when used.
• Fires set by any federal, state, or local officer, or mem-ber of a fire protection district in the performance of an official duty.
• Public fireworks displays supervised by appropriate firefighting/public safety personnel.

Fireworks for July 4 still a go Plans for event could change if county calls for ban on shows staged by professionals By Tom [email protected]
Plans for the joint community July 4 celebration at Belleview, Cornerstone and Progress Parks include most of the usual ac-tivities and, for now, the celebration plans still include an upgraded fi reworks display.
“This has been such a successful event each year that we don’t plan to make many changes to something that is working so well,” said Kraig Stovall, Englewood train-ing chief and one of the event organizers. “Again this year, there will be food vendors, for-a-fee activities like the climbing wall as well as free events like the family fi eld games. Of course, there will be a fi reworks fi nale and, because the county’s ban on all professional fi reworks shows forced us to postpone the event last year, we are work-ing with the fi reworks company to upgrade the show and fi nale.”
However, he added that the status of the fi reworks could change because, on June 13, Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Rob-inson issued a total fi re ban for the county. It bans all open fi res and individuals setting off fi reworks.
“We are in a wait-and-see position right now,” Stovall said. “We are planning for the July 4 fi reworks but that could change if the county issues a fi reworks show ban.”
This is the 18th year agencies and com-
munities have joined together to put on a July 4 celebration. For 2013, contributors and sponsors including Englewood, Little-ton, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, Sheridan, Centennial and Arapa-hoe Counties.
Belleview, Cornerstone and Progress, the three parks clustered near the intersection of West Belleview Avenue and South Win-dermere Street, are the location for July 4 celebration. People generally begin arriving early for the celebration to secure a good spot to watch the fi reworks, but July 4 activ-ities — like games and attractions — don’t get underway until about 3 p.m.
Some activities start earlier, such as the fi shing derby that is held at the lake at Prog-ress Park. Sign-up for the event starts at 7 a.m. and the derby runs until noon. Fish-ing is traditionally pretty good because the state stocks the lake the night before the derby with an abundance of trout.
Other early-starting activities include Belleview Park’s miniature train and chil-dren’s zoo which open at 11 a.m. A small fee is charged for both attractions.
Event-goers are reminded that rules in all three parks prohibit bringing glass con-tainers of any kind, alcoholic beverages or setting off any type of fi reworks — includ-ing sparklers. Police will be patrolling the park on bikes to enforce the rules.
About 7 p.m. entertainment begins on the stage in Cornerstone Park featuring the Deja Blu. The band will be on stage for about two hours.
The day’s activities wrap up about 9:30 p.m. with a countdown that launches the annual fi reworks display.
Families stake out locations early for last year’s July 4 celebration at Cornerstone Park. The event is scheduled to be held again this year, although � re-danger conditions could bring a change of plans. File photo

Timmy Patrick began to bounce up and down on his dad’s shoulders June 15 when he heard the sirens announc-ing a line of emergency vehicles of different colors, sizes and shapes.
The vehicles were on their way into downtown Littleton, launching the 2013 edition of Fire Truck Parade and Muster.
The Centennial boy and his family were among those who lined the route to watch the parade. Attendees then moved to the Arapahoe Community College parking lot for the muster’s annual displays, demonstrations and activi-ties.
“Timmy loves fire trucks,” said John Patrick, the 5-year-old boy’s dad. “He had fire trucks on his wallpaper, fire trucks on his bedroom shelves and even sleeps in pajamas covered with fire trucks. We came last year and he had such a good time we just had to come back.”
Lloyd Vanderhoff, a self-proclaimed fire truck nut, said this year’s parade was shorter than in past years. The cause, he said, could be that many fire departments have de-ployed equipment and personnel to battle wildfires around the state.
However, the parade and muster went on as planned, as a couple dozen pieces of emergency equipment traveled through Littleton to the ACC parking lot.
Many fire departments and some owners opened their equipment to visitors. Firefighters opened equipment compartments to show the gear they carry, and several trucks had open doors to allow young admirers to get be-hind the steering wheel and, in some cases, ring the bell and crank up the antique siren.
A big crowd gathered as two fire trucks, each with sirens wailing and lights flashing, offering rides to kids and their families.
Because kids love to play in water, there was an abun-
dance of water available at the west end of the muster.Two fire hoses were set up for kids. At one station the
target was to push exercise balls around the enclosure, and those at the other station used the stream of water to “put out” wooden representations of flames.
“Look at the grin on my son’s face,” Castle Rock resident Tami Ambrose said as her son, with the help of a Red Rocks Fire Academy volunteer, used the fire hose. “My neighbor told me about today’s event and my 4-year-old loves fire trucks so we decided to come. I am glad we did, because Jonah is having a ball. We’ll definitely mark the date on the calendar so we can come back next year.”
This is the 28th year the fire truck parade and muster has been held in Littleton. It began in 1985 when Schomp Automotive teamed up with the Mile High Hook and Lad-der Club to organize and stage the event.
The Mile High Hook and Ladder Club is an all-volunteer organization made up of individuals seeking to preserve, restore and operate antique firefighting equipment.

Depot’s future still not decidedCity council supports letterpress plan, but gets cold feet on sale proposalBy Tom [email protected]
The saga of the Englewood Depot con-tinues, as the city council backed the idea of a letterpress museum, but balked at the idea of selling the property.
At the council’s June 17 study session, members were 4-3 in favor of an evaluation committee’s recommendation to accept a proposal submitted by Tom and Patti Par-sons, who want to restore the building and turn it into a letterpress museum.
But in another 4-3 split, council mem-bers decided that — although the request for proposal called for selling the building and land — it would be best to try to negoti-ate a long-term lease for the property.
As a result, the council will receive a resolution at the July 1 meeting to allow city staff to enter negotiations with the Parsons-es, seeking to agree on a lease arrangement
for the city-owned land. The result of the negotiations will determine whether or not the Parsonses will move forward with their proposal.
If the Parsonses reject the lease option, the council then can revisit the issue and agree to the sale of the site, approve the his-torical preservation proposal to restore the depot and make it a city museum, or reject all options and retain ownership of the de-pot.
The depot was built in the early 1900s and sat along the tracks near what is now the intersection of Hampden Avenue and Santa Fe Drive. As freight and passenger traffic declined in the 1950s, it was closed.
Residents rallied to save the depot when it was scheduled for demolition by the de-veloper of what is now the Sports Authority site. Eventually the building was moved to its present location at Dartmouth Avenue and Galapago Street. There was an initial effort to restore it and make it a community museum, but that failed. The city took pos-session of the building and the depot sat untended for decades.
Earlier this year, the council made the decision to seek a buyer and sent out a re-
quest for proposal to restore the building and put it to use.
Two proposals were received. The Engle-wood Historic Preservation Society sub-mitted a proposal to turn the depot into a museum. The group planned to submit ap-plication for grants in order to restore the depot and start museum operations.
The proposal by the Parsonses proposal would undertake historic restoration of the depot and turn the inside into a letterpress operation and museum using their resourc-es. They also would seek historic restora-tion grants.
The Englewood council created a five-member committee to evaluate the two proposals for restoration and reuse of the depot submitted as a result of the city’s re-quest for proposal.
The evaluation committee was made up of three professionals with expertise related to historic preservation and financing of historic structures and two Englewood resi-dents.
Individually and unanimously, the com-mittee recommended moving forward with the Parsons proposal. In their summary of the evaluations, the biggest factor commit-
tee members found in favor of the plan was financial capability to fund rehabilitation and long-term operations.
Council members discussed the recom-mendation and gave consensus approval to move forward with the Parsons propos-al. The consensus was four to three with Mayor Pro Tem Jim Woodward and Coun-cilmembers Bob McCaslin, Jill Wilson and Linda Olson favoring the recommendation. Mayor Randy Penn and Councilmembers Joe Jefferson and Rick Gillit opposing the proposal.
Jefferson and Gillit both said they didn’t want to see the land sold because of its val-ue and felt it should be leased.
There was a sometimes heated discus-sion about seeking to lease the land instead of selling it, as was spelled out in the re-quest for proposal.
The decision was to determine if there was a consensus to try to negotiate a lease instead of a sale of the building and land. Jefferson, Gillit, Penn and Olson agreed the land should be leased. Woodward, Mc-Caslin and Wilson wanted to see the land sold as was indicated in the request for pro-posal.

Business After Hours at the Marriott beats the heatDespite the early summer heat, or perhaps because of it, the Chamber’s June Business After Hours was enjoyed by 140
Chamber Investors and guests at the newly renovated Denver Marriott South at Park Meadows. The hotel completed a $3.8 Million renovation last October and is continuing to showcase the new look including the update to its in-house restaurant, Sonoma’z Wine Bar & Grill.
The hotel’s well-known hospitality was enjoyed by all (especially the air conditioning) in their Park Ridge Ballroom. The Marriott’s culinary staff demonstrated their skills as beautifully set appetizers and desserts were continually replen-ished along with the ice cold beverages.
Conversations and laughter among the crowd filled the room with a congenial atmosphere as old friends connected and new friendships were created. Alex Benko of Trout Mobile was one such guest: “The great group of SMDC investors and guests always makes these events a success. Denver Marriott South - Park Meadows was an exceptional venue for tonight’s event.”
Chamber board member and this year’s Community Leader of the Year Jeff Wasden of PROformance Apparel quieted the group long enough to introduce the hotel’s Director of Operations, David DiFalco.
“Thank you all for coming to help us spread the word about our beautiful new hotel. We are eager to invite your fam-ily, friends and business associates to enjoy what we have to offer here at the Denver Marriott South at Park Meadows. The renovation has brought new life and color to every one of the 279 guest rooms, our restaurant - Sonoma’z with its three private dining rooms, our outdoor patios, and our lobby and we look forward to sharing it with Denver,” said DiFalco.
A business card drawing was held with Amanda Doubet of the American Cancer Society winning a $100 gift certificate to Sonoma’z and Karen Doebe-lin of Pots Tea winning an overnight stay at the hotel. The event was a great way to celebrate a long-time Chamber Investor as well as continue to build Remarkable Relationships.
Director of Operations Dave DiFalco welcomes Chamber guests as Chamber Board member Jeff Wasden looks on.
The room was filled with connecting and camaraderie as Chamber Investors and guests mingled during the Business After Hours.
The rule “Presentation is everything” was obvious by the staff’s attention to detail at the appetizer table.

Rocky Mountain Praise Choir seeks singersGoal is to get 250 to 350 volunteers to take part in Aug. 11 concertBy Tom [email protected]
Jerry Nelson, pianist, composer, con-ductor and arranger, seeks singers to join him performing at the Aug. 11 concert at Denver First Church of the Nazarene.
“The Rocky Mountain Praise Choir was established in the early 1990s and we did a concert and produced a CD about every two years until about 2000,” Nelson, a Cen-tennial resident, said. “People have been asking, ‘Is the Rocky Mountain Praise Choir was history.’ Obviously, the answer is no, as we will be back in concert Aug. 11.”
He said singers can receive more infor-mation about how to become part of the choir by sending an email to [email protected].
“All singers who register will be sent a compact disc and music so they can re-hearse on their own,” Nelson said. “We haven’t set the date, but I expect we will hold our first group rehearsal in early July and there will be a second one about 10 days later.
That leaves about three weeks for sing-
ers to rehearse individually before we have a dress rehearsal Aug 10.”
There will be no charge for admission but an offering will be taken. However, con-cert-goers who want to assured a seat can purchase reserved seats in the artists circle near the stage as well as tickets guarantee-ing a seat if the performance is sold out.
The talented international performer
also is releasing a new compact disc at the Aug. 11 performance called “Quiet Time Reflections” which is a collection of music performed by Nelson on the piano.
He noted that a large portion of the proceeds from concerts and compact disc sales enable him and his wife, Rachael, to occasionally make trips to the Congo and Zimbabwe. On those African trips, Jerry
performs concerts and his wife works with AIDS victims training youth peer groups. Together they also work on humanitarian programs such as economic water purifica-tion and the education for promising young people.
Nelson noted the program for the con-cert would be a bit different than past per-formances.
“Most of our past concerts included Broadway themes and popular songs along with songs of the church,” he said. “But the music for the Aug. 11 concerts will be tra-ditional hymns of the church and gospel songs.
Most people know the words to these songs so we will urge members of the audi-ence to sing along with us.”
He said he is hopeful the Aug. 11 event will be the first concert in a series of perfor-mances he and the Rocky Mountain Praise Choir will do at locations around Colorado and perhaps at venues in surrounding states.
Jerry Nelson took his first piano lesson at seven, spent a decade in public school music before he became the Artist-in-Res-idence at Denver First Church of the Naza-rene.
Over the years, he created 5,000 arrange-ments, has written more than 50 songs and performed piano concerts nationally and internationally.

opinions / yours and ours
Pulling together in time of emergencyUnfortunately, we know the smoke all
too well.Amid dry grass and strong winds, a
wildfire struck Colorado again last week, consuming more than 480 homes and leav-ing two dead seemingly in the blink of an eye in the Black Forest area near Colorado Springs.
Family after family grabbed photos first then bundled other treasures in an evacu-ation estimated at 40,000 people — about the size of the population of cities like Parker, Littleton or Northglenn. Mean-while, other fires continued to burn across the state.
Once again the smell of smoke reached
the northern confines of our Colorado Community Media coverage area in West-minster — much like the Hayman fire of 2002, which smoke could be smelled more than 100 miles away. We had hoped the loss of about 330 homes and property caused by that blaze would not happen again.
So here go again. Many know the drills by heart — how to help, how to stay safe,
how to comfort others.We heartily commend all the people,
agencies and organizations that always step up so quickly to help others. Fair-ground facilities and associated volunteers were so quick to take in animals, and donated food and essentials always seem to show up pronto.
We are not surprised at the energy and commitment of volunteers and firefight-ers — who are always at the ready. That’s Colorado.
Many of these seasoned vets also are not surprised by the wildfires, and even ex-press surprise that wildfires don’t happen more often. Various ways to reduce wild-
fires are discussed, but increased preven-tive measures is a talk for another time.
But for today, we simply commend all who are so ready, willing and able to help. And for those wanting to donate or volunteer, please seek out your local agen-cies, or more broadly, the American Red Cross is a good place to start by visiting www.redcross.org/co/denver or calling 1-800-REDCROSS. But before reaching out with helping hands, be sure to cover your own bases too — sign up for your respec-tive county emergency alert system, have a kit prepared for emergencies and be ready to leave quickly in case of emergency.
Safety first.

Is it ‘Tebow Time’ in New England?Visitors at the Outlets at Castle Rock recently told Colorado Community Media what they thought about former Denver Bronco Tim Tebow’s opportunity with the New England Patriots.
“I’m happy for him. He’s just a good guy who deserves another crack at the NFL.” — Steve Soper, Littleton
“I was surprised. ... He’s got a lot of bad rap, negative publicity. I think he’s a heck of a good athlete. I think he’s maligned because of his religious stance.” — Wes Banta, Rawlins, Wyo.
“I think it’s a good idea. He can help the team. He’s a good athlete. They should find some good use for him on the team.” — Richard Scalese, Aurora
“I think he’s going to be a dangerous threat. He’s going to be a very good tight end, if they use him that way.” — Chad Hellman, Colorado Springs
question of the week Uncluttering, hoarding, and cleaning the house
A little over a month ago we had a garage sale at my home. We had been preparing for it for several months, actually ever since our last garage sale. We went through the closets, the storage spaces, the crawl space, the basement and the garage looking for everything we could possibly sell or donate.
So as we got closer to the actual day of the garage sale, my garage could have easily been mistaken as the garage of a hoarder as it was completely filled. And filled with stuff that I have no idea where it came from or that we even had any longer. Where does it all come from?
Anyway, the garage sale was a suc-cess and whatever wasn’t sold was taken to Goodwill. My garage was once again cleaned out and the producers of that television show about hoarding stopped calling my home.
Well, then we decided to put my home on the market and try and sell it. We had the Realtor and the professional “stager” come and let us know what we needed to do to get the house in shape for pictures and for showings.
Now keep in mind, we had just unclut-tered the house and got rid of a ton of stuff. Only to now be told that we would have to unclutter even more to make the home more appealing.
We worked for days, filled more bins, and now my garage can once again qualify as a disaster area or hoarder’s paradise.
As we went through these days of uncluttering after having already unclut-tered, I found myself wondering how much “stuff” I was still holding onto in my head and in my heart that could use a little more uncluttering. I mean I pretty much practice goal-setting and when I complete a project or task I move on to the pursuit of the next thing that I need to tackle. That’s the easy part.
But what about the missed opportuni-ties, the losses, the wins or trophies of yesterday that have long since held any relevance?
What about the arguments or disagree-ments that happened so long ago that they no longer carry any meaning? As I thought about and worked on unclutter-ing the physical items in my home, I began multi-tasking and uncluttering the things that were taking up space in the most important parts of my being, my head and my heart.
If you feel like you are holding on to things mentally, emotionally, or physically, maybe even to the point of hoarding, do yourself a favor and clean house. Start un-cluttering and removing the unnecessary, opening up opportunities to spend more time with the people and on those things in life that are truly the most important to us.
If you know what I am talking about, I would love to hear all about how you have uncluttered and cleaned house in your own homes, hearts and minds at [email protected].
When we can start fresh, it will be a bet-ter than good week.

Meat don’t fail me nowThis one goes out to the ones I love. This
one goes out to the ones I grill out back. An 80-20 to occupy my time. This one goes out to the ones I love.
There sure are a lot of new television programs dedicated to hamburgers. Each one makes my mouth water. The variety of hamburgers in America is benumbing. Harry and Shirley Smith always made what amounted to the Little Hamburgers of the Poor. We didn’t even have caramelized red onions back then.
It was just a disk of brown meat on a fundamental bun with a swipe of mustard. Take it or leave it. I took it. But since then I have discovered there’s much, much more out there.
Each of these programs gives a little his-tory, where the name “hamburger” came from, and where and when the sandwich was introduced in the United States. None of that makes my mouth water, but it is informative. You can find out where and when the first cheeseburger came along. Likewise, the first double-decker. There are some franchises that will give you three, four or five patties, and the phone number of a good cardiologist.
My hamburger awakening happened in 1965 in Westwood, Calif., at a restaurant called Hamburger Hamlet. There’s still a bunch of them around the country. They were started by an actor (therefore Hamlet) named Harry Lewis, who died in 2013 at 93. Rest in peace, Harry. You changed my hamburger life.
The Hamlet burgers were ahead of their time. They were lavished with toppings that were unusual then, and common to-day. My favorite was the Number 11, which came with cheese, and get this, bacon. You can get the same thing almost anywhere now, but 48 years ago that was a big deal.
Harry’s most familiar role was in the Bogart-Bacall film “Key Largo.” He played one of Edward G. Robinson’s thugs, Edward “Toots” Bass. He and his wife Marilyn opened their first Hamlet in 1950 with their savings, $3,500; they sold the franchise in 1997 for $33 million.
I didn’t go to the restaurant very often. I couldn’t afford to. The hamburgers were about five times more expensive than what I was used to. But whenever my father was
in town that’s where we went first. He paid.If you watch one of these new programs,
like “Burger Land,” you will see a menu of head-shaking combinations. There are burgers that come with fries, right on top of the meat.
There’s one restaurant that doesn’t grill their burgers. They are deep-fried in 100-year-old grease. They are fished out of the grease and placed on a bun that acts like a sponge. Even so, most customers get a side order of mops.
There’s a cheeseburger that is made with the cheese in the middle, so when you bite into it the cheese appears for the first time.
Louis’ Lunch in New Haven, Conn., claims to be the birthplace of the ham-burger. They use the same vertical cast-iron gas stoves that they used in 1898. The burgers are unique because they are served on slices of toasted white bread. And the owners won’t allow mustard, ketchup, or mayonnaise. The place is always on top 10 lists of America’s best hamburgers.
In-N-Out burgers make a few of the lists, and I don’t know why. I wasn’t im-pressed. But a member of Denver’s City Council was, and he has started a cam-paign to get the California-based franchise to open up to Colorado. Albus Brooks is councilman for District 8.
Have you ever had a White Castle? It’s 180 degrees from my Number 11, but when I was in high school, you could buy 10 (10) for a dollar. If you’re confused by “an 80-20,” it refers to the best beef-to-fat ratio for a great hamburger, and it’s time for one right now. You too?

Lawmakers stay busyAs a state senator, I am sometimes
asked, “What do you do when you’re not in session at the Capitol?” Well, in Colorado, we have a “citizen Legislature,” originally designed for us to be in session January to May, and then go back to our “citizen” jobs in the interim.
Over the years, however, our legisla-tive commitments have increased due to more complicated policy issues requiring more research and vetting time, and due to increased population so we have more constituent needs. Now, many of us serve on policy committees, task forces and commissions all year long.
So, I thought you’d like to know what I’m doing during the interim and year-round. This year, I serve on:
• Colorado Workforce Development Council — finding policies and methods to assist with economic development for businesses from the people side; connect-ing candidates to job skills training and job placement assistance in order to transition back into the workplace or transfer skills into another industry.
• Juvenile Justice Task Force (part of the Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Jus-tice) — reworking the juvenile justice sys-tem and influencing surrounding services to get to the root of the problem and pre-vent youth from committing crimes and ending up in the justice system. Research shows that preventing youth from entering the system can increase graduation rates, reduce crime, and reduce incarceration and community costs.
• Capitol Building Advisory Committee (Chair) — overseeing and making recom-mendations regarding the state Capitol building complex; the current restoration of the Capitol dome and maintenance of the building and grounds, while preserving our state history.
• Joint Technology Committee (Vice Chair) — a new joint legislative committee that will have oversight of our state infor-mation technology investments. Our goal is to save potentially millions of dollars as we utilize best practices from the private sector into state IT projects and hardware/
software acquisitions.• Conflict Resolution Month — a
“synergizers” group that coordinates activi-ties throughout the state during Conflict Resolution Month, October. Year-round, we work to educate and influence elected officials and communities about the high costs of conflict and the tools and tech-niques of managing conflict.
• Early Childhood and School Readi-ness Commission — a commission that reviews and recommends legislation that will help children be ready for school, in-cluding the areas of health, mental health, parental involvement, family support, child care, and early learning.
• Legislative Oversight Committee for the Continuing Examination of the Treat-ment of Persons with Mental Illness Who Are Involved in the Justice System (Chair) — affectionately known as the commit-tee with the longest name; with almost 80 percent of Colorado offenders with mental illness or substance abuse, this is critically both a human and fiscal issue.
In addition to our year-round commit-ments, in the interim, we also work on town halls, constituent needs, community projects and legislation for next session. Also, some of us occasionally have part-time work on the side to supplement our annual salary of $30,000.
That’s it! The interim life of a senator!

U.N. chief discusses world situation in visitSouth Metro Chamber served as co-sponsor of Denver eventBy Jennifer [email protected]
Ever the local advocate, John Brackney, president of the South Metro Denver Cham-ber of Commerce, talked up the metro area to none other than Ban Ki-moon, secre-tary general of the United Nations, during a luncheon at the Oxford Hotel in Denver on June 7.
Ban was in town to speak at the Univer-sity of Denver commencement ceremony, but first he attended The Denver Forum’s luncheon at the invitation of Colorado’s former U.S. Sen. Tim Wirth, who now sits on the U.N. Foundation’s board. Wirth de-scribed Ban’s job as perhaps more difficult than being president of the United States.
“Dealing with 435 congressmen is hard, but dealing with 193 countries, each of which believes they have the paramount voice in the United Nations, is even harder,” he said.
The U.N.’s military, with 110,000 troops in 15 countries, is outnumbered only by that of the United States. The U.N. vacci-nates 60 percent of the world’s children and serves 90 million people a day, up to 36,000 of them refugees like those currently fleeing Syria as rebel forces and the government engage in deadly battle.
Asked whether the United States should get involved in the Syrian crisis, Ban said it’s a sensitive subject, but he expects all lead-ing nations to convene a peace conference on the matter next month in Geneva. In the meantime, the U.N.’s humanitarian arm has asked the agency for more than $5 bil-lion to help the millions of people affected by the conflict.
“We can’t let the Syrian people continue to die this way,” Ban told the audience of about 200 people. “The entire nation has been destroyed now.” He blames the inflex-ible attitude of the country’s leader, Bashar al-Assad, who refuses even to allow human-itarian workers within Syria’s borders.
Ban called on the global community to show compassion to developing countries like Syria, now set back even further by the recent destruction.
By working together, he said, “We can move challenges from the world’s inbox to the world’s outbox.”
A key to that, he said, is expanding the use of renewable energy to all corners of the earth. He called it the “golden thread” that addresses all problems, as it makes possible technology, transportation, health, educa-tion — virtually all aspects of life.
“We cannot keep burning and mining our way to prosperity,” he said.
He declared sustainable development the U.N.’s top priority for his second term, which runs through 2016.
“There can be no plan B, because there is no planet B,” he said. “There is only planet A.”
Ban believes focusing on sustainability will reduce global conflict, much of which results from real or perceived inequities in resources.
“As we strive for sustainable develop-ment, we need to strive for sustainable peace,” he said. “When people are hungry and poor and sick, there can be no human rights. There can be no peace.”
That’s true in particular, he notes, for women and children.
“During times of conflict, there are al-ways women and girls whose human rights are totally abused,” said Ban. To that end, he launched the U.N. Network of Men Leaders to eradicate such violence.
“Unless men change their mentality, this violence can’t be addressed, can’t be recti-fied,” he said. “I have been talking to kings and prime ministers and presidents, telling them that this is not acceptable.”

Ban Ki-moon is the eighth and current secretary general of the United Nations, having succeeded Kofi Annan in 2007. Prior to that, he was a career diplomat in South Ko-rea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in the United Nations. He entered diplomatic service the year he graduated from university, accepting his first post in New Delhi, India. He was the foreign minister of South Korea from January 2004 to November 2006.
During lunch June 7, he told his tablemates about his youth in South Korea, where war raged from the time he was 6 until he was 8. His family took refuge with relatives who lived on a mountainside, so remote the soldiers had no reason to go there, said Ban. He remembers soldiers from the United States and the United Nations arriving with food, donated clothing and lots of powdered milk. Now the leader of the United Nations, Ban said South Ko-reans are forever grateful for that support.
molishing the music room and the area around it.
“I spent 30 years in that room as Flood music direc-tor,” David Shupe said as he watched the demolition. “Then, just like that, it is a pile of rubble.”
As the crew continued work, Shupe noted the de-molition team was knock-ing down the walls over the Flood main entrance and pulling down the walls and floors of what used to be the
administration offices.Flood Middle School is
at 3695 S. Lincoln St. The building was constructed in 1920 and housed the middle school and high school un-til Englewood High School was built in 1951.
The school district made the decision in 2009 to move all Flood students to Sinclair Middle School, which was renamed Engle-wood Middle School.
At the same time, the school board decided to put the Flood site up for sale.
The district sold the Flood building and site for slightly more than $1.8 mil-lion.

with the way the district op-erated, and some began an effort to dissolve it
The petitions were pre-sented to the council on March 18 during a public hearing on the effort to dis-solve the district. The city council, at the request of BID officers, continued the public hearing for 90 days to give district officials the opportunity to seek to chal-lenge the petition.
Dominique Cook, a strong proponent of dis-solving the district, was a scheduled speaker at the June 17 public hearing, and said she took the opportu-nity to say what she intend-ed to say to the council at the March 18 meeting when she wasn’t allowed to speak.
She said the property owners followed the state laws and this was the third petition seeking dissolution of the business district be-cause of the inefficient way the district was operated.
During the public hear-ing, she said her father, John
Cook — who owns numer-ous properties along South Broadway — supported creation of the district and then supported the effort to dissolve it because of the district was operated.
Property owner Dave Maria also testified and he said he favored dissolution because he had to pay ex-tra taxes to the district but received no benefits for his money.
Dan Brotzman, city at-torney, said the petitions are sufficient and an or-dinance will be presented to the council at the July 1 meeting that will officially dissolve the South Broad-way Business Improvement District.
He also said there will be a study session July 15 to discuss options for distribu-tion of business district as-sets. It was noted the assets included money as well as physical assets such as bike racks and flowerpots.
If the council passes the ordinance to dissolve the business district on first reading on July 1, the nor-mal procedure is the ordi-nance will come up for sec-ond and final reading at the July 16 council meeting.

Gun club aims to free up reservations$10 million expansion could alleviate backlogBy Deborah [email protected]
Frustrated gun enthusiasts may soon be able to reserve a firing lane at Centennial’s most popular indoor gun club.
Centennial Gun Club, 6549 S. Paris St., recently broke ground on a $10 million expanded facility that, according to CEO and general manager Richard Abramson, will house 28 additional firing lanes, 5,000 square feet of new retail space, meeting rooms, a fireplace and an outdoor patio.
With more than 1,500 members vying for time on just six indoor lanes, Abramson admits shooters of all levels find it difficult to reserve space, a benefit that comes with gun club membership.
Some members have even canceled pricey memberships due to the club’s res-ervation backlog.
“And they just keep selling them — there’s always a line at the membership booth every weekend,” said gun enthusiast Mark Hines, who opted not to join the club at $30 per month, or pay the entry-level $347 initiation fee, until after the new facil-ity opens. “I just can’t see blowing that kind of cash on something I’m not going to be
able to ever get in to use.”“We’re just stuffed,” said Abramson, who
estimates that once open in January 2014, the new facility should be able to accom-modate 5,000 members.
But having only six lanes was not the original plan.
Abramson said plans for Centennial Gun Club date back to 2008, and included a larger, more robust operation than what opened its doors in early 2012.
“We had originally planned to have the larger facility,” explained Abramson.
“But the collapse of Bear Sterns and the financial market made it difficult for just about anyone to secure large-scale financ-ing.”
So the club started small.“And based on what happened, it re-
ally was a good thing,” he added. “It gave us time to test our business model, provide proof of concept and to gain the confidence of lenders.”
The club’s goal now is to transform itself from a local gun store to something more like a country club.
Abramson is confident Centennial is the place to do it, saying the city is a “destina-tion location” and has convenient access to private jet service at Centennial Airport.
Top-level club memberships will include private access to a select group of shooting lanes targeted to captains of industry and
professional athletes.Abramson said the new facility will add
21 jobs to the economy as well as improve traffic to nearby restaurants and business-es.
But while the soft-spoken retired tech-
nology executive said there are plans to consider expanding to northern Denver, he’s not sure that will happen.
“With all the changes in gun laws, it’s rather discouraging to do business in Colo-rado,” he said.
Centennial Gun Club CEO and general manager Richard Abramson says although he’s excited about the club’s new $10 million expansion now under way in Centennial, new gun laws in the state make Colorado a less attractive place to do business. Photo by Deborah Grigsby

Where were you born?I was born here in Denver, Colorado.
How long have you lived in the area?My entire life! I grew up in Littleton before attending
the University of Colorado. I now live in Denver, and my office is located in Downtown Littleton.
What do you like most about it?Being a real estate broker requires a different skill set
every day, and I enjoy the variety of my job. I also thrive on interacting with people, and appreciate the relation-ships I am able to establish with my clients.
How long have you worked in Real Estate?
I was licensed in 2002, so just over 10 years.
What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with?
I don’t have a specialty in terms of the type of client I
service; I work with buyers and sellers in every scenario from first-time buyers to estates liquidating assets. How-ever, I do specialize by working almost exclusively by referral. This means that my key responsibility is mak-ing sure I exceed my clients’ expectations throughout the transaction and serve their needs, so they are excited to share their experience with friends and family. That is the only way in which my business continues to grow.
What is the most challenging part of what you do?Satisfying all the different interests in a transaction can
be challenging. Lenders, title companies, cooperating brokers and clients – there are many hands in the pot.
What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working?
I love being outside – bik-ing, running and skiing are my favorite activities. I also enjoy traveling, reading and spend-ing time with my husband and our two dogs.
What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house?
Make sure your house is in immaculate showing con-dition, and get rid of clutter. Your work up front will pay dividends in the price you get and the time you spend on the market.
What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house?
Take time to envision the features you would like your new home to have if you’re going to live there -- shar-ing these details with your agent will help them to better serve you, and will foster a more productive home search.
What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?
The most unusual story involves my clients’ baby – she began projectile vomiting in the foyer of a home
we were viewing. We used half a roll of paper towels to clean everything up, and fortunately that was the
home my clients ended up purchasing!

Money Matters:
What is a PMI and will I need it?Primary mortgage insur-
ance, or PMI, protects lenders in the event that bor-rowers default on their pri-mary mortage by ceasing to make payments, resulting in homes ending up in foreclo-sure.
But all borrowers do not have to pay PMI. Typically, home buyers must make a 20 percent down payment on a home when they buy it.
However, some borrow-ers are unable to put down 20 percent. In such instances, the lender will require they
pay PMI. This is because the lender views a borrower who cannot make an initial 20 percent down payment as a riskier investment, and lend-ers charge PMI in an effort to protect themselves should the borrower prove worthy of their skepticism.
PMI will be factored into the monthly mortgage pay-ment, but borrowers should know they do not have to continue paying PMI once they have paid enough to-ward the principal amount of the loan.
For most, this means once they have paid 20 percent of the principal, then they can ask that the monthly PMI payment be removed.
Many borrowers are un-aware of this or even forget to ask, but it’s within their rights as borrowers and can save a substantial amount of money over the course of the mortgage loan. ■

-1/2 cup(s) instant brown rice
-2 teaspoon(s) sesame oil
-1 pound(s) 93%-lean ground turkey
-1 tablespoon(s) minced fresh ginger
-1 large red bell pepper, finely diced
-1 cup(s) water chestnuts, rinsed and chopped
-1/2 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth -2 tablespoon(s) hoisin sauce

2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey and ginger; cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until the turkey is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Stir in the cooked
rice, bell pepper, water chestnuts, broth, hoisin sauce, five-spice powder and salt; cook until heated through, about 1 minute.

Five-Spice Turkey and Lettuce Wraps
Brazilian lemonade
Ingredients
-2 limes
-1/2 cup sugar
-3 cups water
-ice
-3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
Directions1. Wash limes thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice into eight wedges. Place limes in a blender with the sugar, sweetened condensed milk, water, and ice.
2. Blend in an electric blender, pulsing 5 times. Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove rinds. Serve over ice.
Grilled Fruit KabobsIngredients
-1/2 cup marga-rine
-1/4 cup honey
-3 bananas, cut into 4 pieces each
-12 strawberries, hulled
-3 fresh peaches, pitted and quar-tered
-3 fresh plums, pit-ted and quartered
-12 skewers
Directions
1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and place a large sheet of foil onto the grate.
2. Melt the margarine and honey together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook gently, stir-ring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Do not let the sauce boil.
3. Thread a peach quarter, a plum quar-ter, a banana piece, and a strawberry onto each skewer. Place the skewers onto the foil on the preheated grill; spoon marga-rine-honey mixture over each skewer.
4. Grill until the fruit is softened and the sauce has thickened and cooked onto the fruit, about 5 minutes. Flip the skewers, spoon more margarine-honey sauce over each, and grill for about 5 more minutes on the other side.
BlueBerry BuckleIngredIentsFor the cake:
-2 cups and 1-2 Tbsp of sifted, all purpose flour separated
-2 teaspoons baking powder
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
-3/4 cup sugar
-1 large egg
-1/2 cup milk
-1 pint blueberries
For the topping:
-1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
-1/2 cup sugar
-1/3 cup sifted all purpose flour
-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Method1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease an 8-inch springform pan. Set aside.2. Sift together the 2 cups of flour, the bak-ing powder and the salt. Set aside. Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg. Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the milk. Toss the ber-ies with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour (to separate and scatter evenly through-out the batter) and fold in. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Set aside.3. Combine ingredients for topping with a fork to make crumbly mixture. Sprinkle this over the batter.4. Bake for one hour, then test for doneness by gently inserting a fork. If it does not come out clean, give the cake another 5 to 10 min-utes to bake.5. When the cake has cooled, run a knife around the edges and lift the cake out of the pan. Serve with whipped cream.
Ingredients
-1/4 cup mayonnaise
-3 cloves garlic, minced
-1 tablespoon lemon juice
-1/8 cup olive oil
-1 cup sliced red bell peppers
-1 small zucchini, sliced
-1 red onion, sliced
-1 small yellow squash, sliced
-2 (4-x6-inch) focaccia bread pieces, split horizontally
-1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
California Grilled Veggie SandwichDirections
1. In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Set aside in the refrigerator.
2. Preheat the grill for high heat.
3. Brush vegetables with olive oil on each side. Brush grate with oil. Place bell peppers and zucchini closest to the middle of thegrill, and set onion and squash pieces around them.
4. Cook for about 3 minutes, turn, and cook for another 3 minutes. The peppers may take a bit longer.
Remove from grill, and set aside.
5. Spread some of the mayonnaise mixture on the cut sides of the bread, and sprinkle each one with feta cheese. Place on the grill cheese side up, and cover with lid for 2 to 3 minutes. This will warm the bread, and slightly melt the cheese. Watch carefully so the bottoms don’t burn.
6. Remove from grill, and layer with the vegetables. Enjoy as open faced grilled sandwiches.

Overview ofPlan: Denver filed the application for CaseNo. 2009CW264 on December 29, 2009.As part of that application, the MoundingDrain associated with the Bambei-WalkerReservoir (formerly known as the MillerReservoir and is part of the South Reser-voir Complex) was included as a point ofdiversion for the 1,129 acre-foot fill and re-fill storage right. The Mounding Drain di-verts groundwater tributary to the SouthPlatte River into Bambei-Walker Reser-voir. Storage of this tributary groundwaterin the reservoir may cause out of prioritydepletions to the South Platte River. ThisPlan for Augmentation serves to quantifyand replace the depletions in time, amountand location to prevent injury to other wa-ter rights. At times, the plan for augmenta-tion will operate an exchange when the re-placement water is returned to the SouthPlatte River below the point of depletionfrom the claimed Mounding Drain waterrights.

Com-plete Statement of Plan for Augmentation.5.1. Depletions from South ReservoirComplex Mounding Drain. The SouthReservoir Complex is located on the eastand west side of the South Platte Riverbetween I-270 and I-76. The SouthReservoir Complex consists of two off-channel reservoirs designated Bambei-Walker Reservoir (formerly known as theMiller Reservoir), located between theSouth Platte and the Burlington ditch, andWelby Reservoir (formerly known as theCat Reservoir), located immediately westof the South Platte River. These reser-voirs are connected and integrated via anunderground conduit that feeds water fromBambie-Walker Reservoir to Welby Reser-voir. The South Gravel Pit ComplexMounding Drain was constructed to re-lieve hydrostatic pressure on Bambei-Walker Reservoir and to prevent an in-crease in the water table up gradient toprevent potential flooding of other struc-tures. Because the South Reservoir Com-plex Mounding Drain is designed to col-lect water, it acts as a horizontal wellwhich depletes the South Platte River.Flow in the Mounding Drain is currently ata near-steady state condition. When theSouth Reservoir Complex Mounding Drainis collecting water, Applicant will store thecollected water pursuant to Case No.09CW264 and replace any associatedout-of-priority depletions on a daily basisfrom Welby Reservoir in the form of reser-voir releases from the South ReservoirComplex. Alternatively, Denver Water mayalso make replacements from the loca-tions described in Paragraph 5.2 below.When there is a call on the South PlatteRiver downstream of the South ReservoirComplex senior to December 29, 2009,Denver Water will make releases from theSouth Reservoir Complex, or from an al-ternate location described below, in time,location and amount to the downstreamsenior calling water right. At times, theplan for augmentation will operate an ex-change when the replacement water is re-turned to the South Platte River below thepoint of depletion from the claimedMounding Drain water right. 5.2. Means ofReplacement. 5.2.1 Augmentation – FirstUse. 5.2.1.1. Sources Available on theSouth Platte River. Sources identified inParagraphs 4.1 through 4.17 and 4.19through 4.27 above are available to theSouth Platte River to replace to a callingwater right on the mainstem of the SouthPlatte River. 5.2.1.2. LFH-1 Well. The re-placement source identified in Paragraph4.18 is available on Cherry Creek and tothe South Platte River at its confluencewith Cherry Creek. This source is locatedin the SW/4 of the NW/4 of Section 18,Township 4 South, Range 67 West of the6th P.M., Denver, Colorado, at a point ap-proximately 1,850 feet from the north sec-tion line and 1,100 feet from the west sec-tion line, also described by street andnumber as 4360 East Virginia Avenue,Denver, Colorado. 5.2.2 Augmentation –Successive Uses. 5.2.2.1. Reuse andSuccessive Use. Each of the sourcesidentified in Paragraph 0 above can be re-used and successively used to extinctionabsent prohibitions preventing such reuse.Currently, as a result of the ruling enteredin Case No. 81CW405, reuse of thesource identified in Paragraph 4.14 is lim-ited. This application does not seek tomodify the decree entered in Case No.81CW405, but Denver reserves the rightto reuse water from this source beyondthe limitations of such ruling if such de-cree is modified to permit such usage.5.2.2.2. Sources Available on the SouthPlatte River. Denver will account for andidentify water once or successively usedthrough its municipal system that is return-ing to the South Platte River, and deliversuch water to the downstream calling rightto replace depletions pursuant to the planfor augmentation: 5.2.2.2.1. From thepoint of release into the South Platte Riverat the Li t t leton/Englewood Bi-Ci tyWastewater Treatment Plant; or 5.2.2.2.2.By deliveries from upstream storage(Antero, Eleven Mile, Cheesman, StrontiaSprings, or Chatfield Reservoirs), usingwater stored in these facilities under sep-arate exchange decrees so permitting.5.2.2.2.3. From the Farmers and Garden-ers Ditch Water Right point of diversionand alternate points of diversion decreedin 2009CW084 WD1. 5.2.2.2.4. From thepoint of release into the South Platte Riverat the Metro Outfall; or 5.2.2.2.5. By deliv-eries from the South Gravel Pit Complex,North Gravel Pit Complex, and LuptonLakes Reservoir Complex of fully consum-able water or water decreed for augment-ation having been stored in these facilities.5.2.2.2.6. Lawn and Landscape IrrigationReturn Flows. Return flows from outdoorwater uses and lawn irrigation return flows(“LIRFs”) accrue from various pointsthroughout Denver’s service area to theSouth Platte River and its tributaries. Ap-plicant intends to use Denver’s LIRFs as asubstitute supply in this plan for augment-ation, subject to the terms and conditionsdecreed in Case No. 04CW121. 5.2.3.Bypass of Water Intercepted from Mound-ing Drain. Denver Water may replace de-pletions from the interception of waterfrom the South Reservoir ComplexMounding Drain by bypassing water inter-cepted at the Mounding Drain and sub-sequently releasing an equivalent amountof water from the South Reservoir Com-plex to the South Platte River. 6. Name(s)and address(es) of owner(s) or reputedowner(s) of the land upon which any newdiversion or storage structure, or modifica-tion to any existing diversion or storagestructure is or will be constructed or uponwhich water is or will be stored, includingany modification to the existing storagepool. This plan for augmentation does notinvolve the construction of any new diver-sion or storage structures, or modificationto any existing diversion or storage struc-tures. Denver Water either owns or hasthe requisite authority to use all structuresnecessary to operate the plan for aug-mentation described herein.

Com-plete Statement of Plan for Augmentation.5.1. Depletions from South ReservoirComplex Mounding Drain. The SouthReservoir Complex is located on the eastand west side of the South Platte Riverbetween I-270 and I-76. The SouthReservoir Complex consists of two off-channel reservoirs designated Bambei-Walker Reservoir (formerly known as theMiller Reservoir), located between theSouth Platte and the Burlington ditch, andWelby Reservoir (formerly known as theCat Reservoir), located immediately westof the South Platte River. These reser-voirs are connected and integrated via anunderground conduit that feeds water fromBambie-Walker Reservoir to Welby Reser-voir. The South Gravel Pit ComplexMounding Drain was constructed to re-lieve hydrostatic pressure on Bambei-Walker Reservoir and to prevent an in-crease in the water table up gradient toprevent potential flooding of other struc-tures. Because the South Reservoir Com-plex Mounding Drain is designed to col-lect water, it acts as a horizontal wellwhich depletes the South Platte River.Flow in the Mounding Drain is currently ata near-steady state condition. When theSouth Reservoir Complex Mounding Drainis collecting water, Applicant will store thecollected water pursuant to Case No.09CW264 and replace any associatedout-of-priority depletions on a daily basisfrom Welby Reservoir in the form of reser-voir releases from the South ReservoirComplex. Alternatively, Denver Water mayalso make replacements from the loca-tions described in Paragraph 5.2 below.When there is a call on the South PlatteRiver downstream of the South ReservoirComplex senior to December 29, 2009,Denver Water will make releases from theSouth Reservoir Complex, or from an al-ternate location described below, in time,location and amount to the downstreamsenior calling water right. At times, theplan for augmentation will operate an ex-change when the replacement water is re-turned to the South Platte River below thepoint of depletion from the claimedMounding Drain water right. 5.2. Means ofReplacement. 5.2.1 Augmentation – FirstUse. 5.2.1.1. Sources Available on theSouth Platte River.

Overview ofPlan: Denver filed the application for CaseNo. 2009CW264 on December 29, 2009.As part of that application, the MoundingDrain associated with the Bambei-WalkerReservoir (formerly known as the MillerReservoir and is part of the South Reser-voir Complex) was included as a point ofdiversion for the 1,129 acre-foot fill and re-fill storage right. The Mounding Drain di-verts groundwater tributary to the SouthPlatte River into Bambei-Walker Reser-voir. Storage of this tributary groundwaterin the reservoir may cause out of prioritydepletions to the South Platte River. ThisPlan for Augmentation serves to quantifyand replace the depletions in time, amountand location to prevent injury to other wa-ter rights. At times, the plan for augmenta-tion will operate an exchange when the re-placement water is returned to the SouthPlatte River below the point of depletionfrom the claimed Mounding Drain waterrights. The South Reservoir Complex andassociated Mounding Drain are shown onExhibit A. 3. Name(s) of structure(s) to beaugmented. South Reservoir ComplexMounding Drain.

Overview ofPlan: Denver filed the application for CaseNo. 2009CW264 on December 29, 2009.As part of that application, the MoundingDrain associated with the Bambei-WalkerReservoir (formerly known as the MillerReservoir and is part of the South Reser-voir Complex) was included as a point ofdiversion for the 1,129 acre-foot fill and re-fill storage right. The Mounding Drain di-verts groundwater tributary to the SouthPlatte River into Bambei-Walker Reser-voir. Storage of this tributary groundwaterin the reservoir may cause out of prioritydepletions to the South Platte River. ThisPlan for Augmentation serves to quantifyand replace the depletions in time, amountand location to prevent injury to other wa-ter rights. At times, the plan for augmenta-tion will operate an exchange when the re-placement water is returned to the SouthPlatte River below the point of depletionfrom the claimed Mounding Drain waterrights. The South Reservoir Complex andassociated Mounding Drain are shown onExhibit A. 3. Name(s) of structure(s) to beaugmented. South Reservoir ComplexMounding Drain.

Com-plete Statement of Plan for Augmentation.5.1. Depletions from South ReservoirComplex Mounding Drain. The SouthReservoir Complex is located on the eastand west side of the South Platte Riverbetween I-270 and I-76. The SouthReservoir Complex consists of two off-channel reservoirs designated Bambei-Walker Reservoir (formerly known as theMiller Reservoir), located between theSouth Platte and the Burlington ditch, andWelby Reservoir (formerly known as theCat Reservoir), located immediately westof the South Platte River. These reser-voirs are connected and integrated via anunderground conduit that feeds water fromBambie-Walker Reservoir to Welby Reser-voir. The South Gravel Pit ComplexMounding Drain was constructed to re-lieve hydrostatic pressure on Bambei-Walker Reservoir and to prevent an in-crease in the water table up gradient toprevent potential flooding of other struc-tures. Because the South Reservoir Com-plex Mounding Drain is designed to col-lect water, it acts as a horizontal wellwhich depletes the South Platte River.Flow in the Mounding Drain is currently ata near-steady state condition. When theSouth Reservoir Complex Mounding Drainis collecting water, Applicant will store thecollected water pursuant to Case No.09CW264 and replace any associatedout-of-priority depletions on a daily basisfrom Welby Reservoir in the form of reser-voir releases from the South ReservoirComplex. Alternatively, Denver Water mayalso make replacements from the loca-tions described in Paragraph 5.2 below.When there is a call on the South PlatteRiver downstream of the South ReservoirComplex senior to December 29, 2009,Denver Water will make releases from theSouth Reservoir Complex, or from an al-ternate location described below, in time,location and amount to the downstreamsenior calling water right. At times, theplan for augmentation will operate an ex-change when the replacement water is re-turned to the South Platte River below thepoint of depletion from the claimedMounding Drain water right. 5.2. Means ofReplacement. 5.2.1 Augmentation – FirstUse. 5.2.1.1. Sources Available on theSouth Platte River. Sources identified inParagraphs 4.1 through 4.17 and 4.19through 4.27 above are available to theSouth Platte River to replace to a callingwater right on the mainstem of the SouthPlatte River. 5.2.1.2. LFH-1 Well. The re-placement source identified in Paragraph4.18 is available on Cherry Creek and tothe South Platte River at its confluencewith Cherry Creek. This source is locatedin the SW/4 of the NW/4 of Section 18,Township 4 South, Range 67 West of the6th P.M., Denver, Colorado, at a point ap-proximately 1,850 feet from the north sec-tion line and 1,100 feet from the west sec-tion line, also described by street andnumber as 4360 East Virginia Avenue,Denver, Colorado. 5.2.2 Augmentation –Successive Uses. 5.2.2.1. Reuse andSuccessive Use. Each of the sourcesidentified in Paragraph 0 above can be re-used and successively used to extinctionabsent prohibitions preventing such reuse.Currently, as a result of the ruling enteredin Case No. 81CW405, reuse of thesource identified in Paragraph 4.14 is lim-ited. This application does not seek tomodify the decree entered in Case No.81CW405, but Denver reserves the rightto reuse water from this source beyondthe limitations of such ruling if such de-cree is modified to permit such usage.5.2.2.2. Sources Available on the SouthPlatte River. Denver will account for andidentify water once or successively usedthrough its municipal system that is return-ing to the South Platte River, and deliversuch water to the downstream calling rightto replace depletions pursuant to the planfor augmentation: 5.2.2.2.1. From thepoint of release into the South Platte Riverat the Li t t leton/Englewood Bi-Ci tyWastewater Treatment Plant; or 5.2.2.2.2.By deliveries from upstream storage(Antero, Eleven Mile, Cheesman, StrontiaSprings, or Chatfield Reservoirs), usingwater stored in these facilities under sep-arate exchange decrees so permitting.5.2.2.2.3. From the Farmers and Garden-ers Ditch Water Right point of diversionand alternate points of diversion decreedin 2009CW084 WD1. 5.2.2.2.4. From thepoint of release into the South Platte Riverat the Metro Outfall; or 5.2.2.2.5. By deliv-eries from the South Gravel Pit Complex,North Gravel Pit Complex, and LuptonLakes Reservoir Complex of fully consum-able water or water decreed for augment-ation having been stored in these facilities.5.2.2.2.6. Lawn and Landscape IrrigationReturn Flows. Return flows from outdoorwater uses and lawn irrigation return flows(“LIRFs”) accrue from various pointsthroughout Denver’s service area to theSouth Platte River and its tributaries. Ap-plicant intends to use Denver’s LIRFs as asubstitute supply in this plan for augment-ation, subject to the terms and conditionsdecreed in Case No. 04CW121. 5.2.3.Bypass of Water Intercepted from Mound-ing Drain. Denver Water may replace de-pletions from the interception of waterfrom the South Reservoir ComplexMounding Drain by bypassing water inter-cepted at the Mounding Drain and sub-sequently releasing an equivalent amountof water from the South Reservoir Com-plex to the South Platte River. 6. Name(s)and address(es) of owner(s) or reputedowner(s) of the land upon which any newdiversion or storage structure, or modifica-tion to any existing diversion or storagestructure is or will be constructed or uponwhich water is or will be stored, includingany modification to the existing storagepool. This plan for augmentation does notinvolve the construction of any new diver-sion or storage structures, or modificationto any existing diversion or storage struc-tures. Denver Water either owns or hasthe requisite authority to use all structuresnecessary to operate the plan for aug-mentation described herein.

By this Second Amended Ap-plication (also referred to as the “Applica-tion”), ACWWA, ECCV, and United seekto amend the plans for augmentation andrecharge projects decreed in Case Nos.02CW403 (“403 Decree”), 02CW404 and03CW442 (“404/442 Decree”), to addACWWA to certain portions of those De-crees, and for the approval of a condition-al water right. The Applicants are notseeking to replace the 403 Decree or the404/442 Decree, but instead to amendthose decrees to include additional wells,recharge ponds, and water rights. ThisApplication also seeks to amend the plansfor augmentation, recharge projects, andconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW403, 02CW404 and 03CW442to include ACWWA.3. Background and Description of Applic-ants’ Prior Decrees. 3.1. Background.The Water Supply Project, or the North-ern Project, is an integrated system for thediversion, accretion, collection, storage,transmission, and treatment of waterrights that was originally designed toprovide ECCV with a long-term, sustain-able municipal water supply for its servicearea. In order to implement the WaterSupply Project, ECCV, United, and theFarmers Reservoir and Irrigation Com-pany (“FRICO”) entered into a Water Sup-ply Agreement, dated December 18, 2003,which was amended in May 2007. OnDecember 15, 2009, ACWWA, United,and ECCV entered into an Intergovern-mental Agreement (“IGA”) to provide forACWWA’s participation with ECCV andUnited in the Water Supply Project. TheWater Supply Project is now designed toprovide ECCV and ACWWA with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supplyfor their respective service areas locatedin Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, Color-ado. Maps of ECCV’s and ACWWA’s ser-vice areas were attached to the originalapplication in this case as Exhibit 1 andExhibit 2, respectively, which are incorpor-ated into this Second Amended Applica-tion. 3.2. Decreed Components of theWater Supply Project. The Water Courthas previously decreed various compon-ents of the Water Supply Project for EC-CV and United’s use: 3.2.1. Case No.02CW403. The Water Court approved aplan for augmentation (“ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan”) (by this Application,the ECCV Augmentation Plan for ECCV’sUpper Beebe Draw well field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan) forECCV’s Upper Beebe Draw wellfield(“ACWWA/ECCV Well Field”), (by this Ap-plication, the ECCV Well Field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Well Field), as describedin paragraph 15.1 of the 403 Decree. TheACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan al-lowed for the future addition of wells to theaugmentation plan and for the use of addi-tional sources of substitute supply to re-place the out-of-priority depletions result-ing from pumping the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field. 3.2.2. Case Nos. 02CW404and 03CW442. The Water Court ap-proved the addition of six (6) wells to theACWWA/ECCV Well Field, additionalsources of replacement water to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan, and arecharge project in the Beebe Draw (the“Beebe Draw Recharge Project”). TheWater Court also approved a plan for aug-mentation to replace the out-of-priority de-pletions created by the pumping of wellslocated on 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch Aug-mentation Plan”) and a recharge projecton the 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch RechargeProject”). Finally, the Water Court ap-proved a one-time diversion conditionalsurface water right, a Milton Lake 2003Storage Right, a Plan for Augmentation forthe Milton Lake 2003 Storage Right, aright of substitution, and an appropriativeright of exchange. The 403 and 404/442Decrees were attached to the FirstAmended Application as Exhibits 7 and 8respectively, which are incorporated intothis Second Amended Application. 4.Claims in the Original and First AmendedApplications. The claims in the originalapplication in this case to include ACWWAas an end user in the Water SupplyProject mirrored the claims pled in theamended applications in the 404/442Case. As a result of negotiations with op-posers and three separate motions to dis-miss claims, the 404/442 Decree was sig-nificantly different from the amended ap-plications in those cases. As part of thenegotiations, for example, the Applicantswithdrew their claims for conjunctive useprojects in the Beebe Draw and the 70Ranch alluvial aquifers, and their claimsrelated to the Lower Beebe Draw wellfield.ACWWA was not an end user of water un-der the 404/442 Decree. Therefore, theApplicants sought in the First AmendedApplication to incorporate ACWWA intothe Water Supply Project as it was setforth in the 404/442 Decree, and to addcomponents consistent with the require-ments in that Decree. The Applicantswithdrew their claims related to: a) theconjunctive use projects in the BeebeDraw and 70 Ranch alluvial aquifers; andb) the Lower Beebe Draw Well Field. TheApplicants also: a) included ACWWA inthe Beebe Draw Recharge Project, andthe 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan and Re-charge Project; b) added wells to the 70Ranch Augmentation Plan with a claim fora conditional water right for those wells;and c) added the 70 Ranch Recharge Col-lection Pipeline and additional amounts ofrecharge water to the 70 Ranch Re-charge Project. 5. Purpose of the SecondAmended Application. In this SecondAmended Application, the Applicants seekto: a) amend the ACWWA/ECCV Aug-mentation Plan decreed in Case No.02CW403 to add five (5) wells, to estab-lish priority dates for the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field, to add additional sources of re-placement water to the ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan; b) amend the BeebeDraw Recharge Project decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 to add a re-charge pond; c) amend the 70 RanchAugmentation Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 to add eight (8)wells to the 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan;d ) i nco rpo ra te ACWWA in to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan de-creed in Case No. 02CW403 as amendedby the 404/442 Decree and this Applica-tion; e) incorporate ACWWA into theBeebe Draw Recharge Project decreed inCase Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 asamended by this Application; f) incorpor-ate ACWWA into the 70 Ranch Augment-at ion Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 as amended bythis Application; g) incorporate ACWWAinto the 70 Ranch Recharge Project de-creed in Case Nos. 02CW404 and03CW442 as amended by this Application;h) add ACWWA as an end user of theconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442; i) approvea conditional water right for the United Di-version Facility No. 6 located on the 70Ranch; and j) add storage facilities fromwhich the Applicants may deliver replace-ment water to replace out-of-priority deple-tions and winter return flow obligations.Additionally, the prior applications de-scribed ACWWA’s service area as beinglocated in Arapahoe County. ACWWA’sservice area also includes areas inDouglas County as depicted on the mapattached as Exhibit 2 to the original applic-ation, which is incorporated into thisSecond Amended Application, and Applic-ants include Douglas County in the de-scription of ACWWA’s service area. Inthis case, the Applicants do not seek toadjudicate ACWWA as a user of the ap-propriative rights of exchange, or right ofsubstitution decreed in the 404/442 De-cree. An application to adjudicate ex-changes related to ACWWA’s participa-tion in the Water Supply Project is pendingin Case No. 09CW283. This SecondAmended Application supersedes and re-places the original application filed onDecember 29, 2010, and the FirstAmended Application filed on October 28,2011. Appl icat ion to Amend theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan. 6.General Description. The Applicants seekapproval of ACWWA’s incorporation intothe ACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Planapproved in the 403 Decree as amendedby the 404/442 Decree for the pumping ofthe ACWWA/ECCV Wel l F ie ld forACWWA’s benefit, and delivery of that wa-ter to ACWWA’s service area.

By this Second Amended Ap-plication (also referred to as the “Applica-tion”), ACWWA, ECCV, and United seekto amend the plans for augmentation andrecharge projects decreed in Case Nos.02CW403 (“403 Decree”), 02CW404 and03CW442 (“404/442 Decree”), to addACWWA to certain portions of those De-crees, and for the approval of a condition-al water right. The Applicants are notseeking to replace the 403 Decree or the404/442 Decree, but instead to amendthose decrees to include additional wells,recharge ponds, and water rights. ThisApplication also seeks to amend the plansfor augmentation, recharge projects, andconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW403, 02CW404 and 03CW442to include ACWWA.3. Background and Description of Applic-ants’ Prior Decrees. 3.1. Background.The Water Supply Project, or the North-ern Project, is an integrated system for thediversion, accretion, collection, storage,transmission, and treatment of waterrights that was originally designed toprovide ECCV with a long-term, sustain-able municipal water supply for its servicearea. In order to implement the WaterSupply Project, ECCV, United, and theFarmers Reservoir and Irrigation Com-pany (“FRICO”) entered into a Water Sup-ply Agreement, dated December 18, 2003,which was amended in May 2007. OnDecember 15, 2009, ACWWA, United,and ECCV entered into an Intergovern-mental Agreement (“IGA”) to provide forACWWA’s participation with ECCV andUnited in the Water Supply Project. TheWater Supply Project is now designed toprovide ECCV and ACWWA with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supplyfor their respective service areas locatedin Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, Color-ado. Maps of ECCV’s and ACWWA’s ser-vice areas were attached to the originalapplication in this case as Exhibit 1 andExhibit 2, respectively, which are incorpor-ated into this Second Amended Applica-tion. 3.2. Decreed Components of theWater Supply Project. The Water Courthas previously decreed various compon-ents of the Water Supply Project for EC-CV and United’s use: 3.2.1. Case No.02CW403. The Water Court approved aplan for augmentation (“ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan”) (by this Application,the ECCV Augmentation Plan for ECCV’sUpper Beebe Draw well field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan) forECCV’s Upper Beebe Draw wellfield(“ACWWA/ECCV Well Field”), (by this Ap-plication, the ECCV Well Field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Well Field), as describedin paragraph 15.1 of the 403 Decree. TheACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan al-lowed for the future addition of wells to theaugmentation plan and for the use of addi-tional sources of substitute supply to re-place the out-of-priority depletions result-ing from pumping the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field. 3.2.2. Case Nos. 02CW404and 03CW442. The Water Court ap-proved the addition of six (6) wells to theACWWA/ECCV Well Field, additionalsources of replacement water to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan, and arecharge project in the Beebe Draw (the“Beebe Draw Recharge Project”). TheWater Court also approved a plan for aug-mentation to replace the out-of-priority de-pletions created by the pumping of wellslocated on 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch Aug-mentation Plan”) and a recharge projecton the 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch RechargeProject”). Finally, the Water Court ap-proved a one-time diversion conditionalsurface water right, a Milton Lake 2003Storage Right, a Plan for Augmentation forthe Milton Lake 2003 Storage Right, aright of substitution, and an appropriativeright of exchange. The 403 and 404/442Decrees were attached to the FirstAmended Application as Exhibits 7 and 8respectively, which are incorporated intothis Second Amended Application. 4.Claims in the Original and First AmendedApplications. The claims in the originalapplication in this case to include ACWWAas an end user in the Water SupplyProject mirrored the claims pled in theamended applications in the 404/442Case. As a result of negotiations with op-posers and three separate motions to dis-miss claims, the 404/442 Decree was sig-nificantly different from the amended ap-plications in those cases. As part of thenegotiations, for example, the Applicantswithdrew their claims for conjunctive useprojects in the Beebe Draw and the 70Ranch alluvial aquifers, and their claimsrelated to the Lower Beebe Draw wellfield.ACWWA was not an end user of water un-der the 404/442 Decree. Therefore, theApplicants sought in the First AmendedApplication to incorporate ACWWA intothe Water Supply Project as it was setforth in the 404/442 Decree, and to addcomponents consistent with the require-ments in that Decree. The Applicantswithdrew their claims related to: a) theconjunctive use projects in the BeebeDraw and 70 Ranch alluvial aquifers; andb) the Lower Beebe Draw Well Field. TheApplicants also: a) included ACWWA inthe Beebe Draw Recharge Project, andthe 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan and Re-charge Project; b) added wells to the 70Ranch Augmentation Plan with a claim fora conditional water right for those wells;and c) added the 70 Ranch Recharge Col-lection Pipeline and additional amounts ofrecharge water to the 70 Ranch Re-charge Project. 5. Purpose of the SecondAmended Application. In this SecondAmended Application, the Applicants seekto: a) amend the ACWWA/ECCV Aug-mentation Plan decreed in Case No.02CW403 to add five (5) wells, to estab-lish priority dates for the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field, to add additional sources of re-placement water to the ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan; b) amend the BeebeDraw Recharge Project decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 to add a re-charge pond; c) amend the 70 RanchAugmentation Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 to add eight (8)wells to the 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan;d ) i nco rpo ra te ACWWA in to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan de-creed in Case No. 02CW403 as amendedby the 404/442 Decree and this Applica-tion; e) incorporate ACWWA into theBeebe Draw Recharge Project decreed inCase Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 asamended by this Application; f) incorpor-ate ACWWA into the 70 Ranch Augment-at ion Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 as amended bythis Application; g) incorporate ACWWAinto the 70 Ranch Recharge Project de-creed in Case Nos. 02CW404 and03CW442 as amended by this Application;h) add ACWWA as an end user of theconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442; i) approvea conditional water right for the United Di-version Facility No. 6 located on the 70Ranch; and j) add storage facilities fromwhich the Applicants may deliver replace-ment water to replace out-of-priority deple-tions and winter return flow obligations.Additionally, the prior applications de-scribed ACWWA’s service area as beinglocated in Arapahoe County. ACWWA’sservice area also includes areas inDouglas County as depicted on the mapattached as Exhibit 2 to the original applic-ation, which is incorporated into thisSecond Amended Application, and Applic-ants include Douglas County in the de-scription of ACWWA’s service area. Inthis case, the Applicants do not seek toadjudicate ACWWA as a user of the ap-propriative rights of exchange, or right ofsubstitution decreed in the 404/442 De-cree. An application to adjudicate ex-changes related to ACWWA’s participa-tion in the Water Supply Project is pendingin Case No. 09CW283. This SecondAmended Application supersedes and re-places the original application filed onDecember 29, 2010, and the FirstAmended Application filed on October 28,2011. Appl icat ion to Amend theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan. 6.General Description. The Applicants seekapproval of ACWWA’s incorporation intothe ACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Planapproved in the 403 Decree as amendedby the 404/442 Decree for the pumping ofthe ACWWA/ECCV Wel l F ie ld forACWWA’s benefit, and delivery of that wa-ter to ACWWA’s service area.

By this Second Amended Ap-plication (also referred to as the “Applica-tion”), ACWWA, ECCV, and United seekto amend the plans for augmentation andrecharge projects decreed in Case Nos.02CW403 (“403 Decree”), 02CW404 and03CW442 (“404/442 Decree”), to addACWWA to certain portions of those De-crees, and for the approval of a condition-al water right. The Applicants are notseeking to replace the 403 Decree or the404/442 Decree, but instead to amendthose decrees to include additional wells,recharge ponds, and water rights. ThisApplication also seeks to amend the plansfor augmentation, recharge projects, andconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW403, 02CW404 and 03CW442to include ACWWA.3. Background and Description of Applic-ants’ Prior Decrees. 3.1. Background.The Water Supply Project, or the North-ern Project, is an integrated system for thediversion, accretion, collection, storage,transmission, and treatment of waterrights that was originally designed toprovide ECCV with a long-term, sustain-able municipal water supply for its servicearea. In order to implement the WaterSupply Project, ECCV, United, and theFarmers Reservoir and Irrigation Com-pany (“FRICO”) entered into a Water Sup-ply Agreement, dated December 18, 2003,which was amended in May 2007. OnDecember 15, 2009, ACWWA, United,and ECCV entered into an Intergovern-mental Agreement (“IGA”) to provide forACWWA’s participation with ECCV andUnited in the Water Supply Project. TheWater Supply Project is now designed toprovide ECCV and ACWWA with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supplyfor their respective service areas locatedin Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, Color-ado. Maps of ECCV’s and ACWWA’s ser-vice areas were attached to the originalapplication in this case as Exhibit 1 andExhibit 2, respectively, which are incorpor-ated into this Second Amended Applica-tion. 3.2. Decreed Components of theWater Supply Project. The Water Courthas previously decreed various compon-ents of the Water Supply Project for EC-CV and United’s use: 3.2.1. Case No.02CW403. The Water Court approved aplan for augmentation (“ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan”) (by this Application,the ECCV Augmentation Plan for ECCV’sUpper Beebe Draw well field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan) forECCV’s Upper Beebe Draw wellfield(“ACWWA/ECCV Well Field”), (by this Ap-plication, the ECCV Well Field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Well Field), as describedin paragraph 15.1 of the 403 Decree. TheACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan al-lowed for the future addition of wells to theaugmentation plan and for the use of addi-tional sources of substitute supply to re-place the out-of-priority depletions result-ing from pumping the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field. 3.2.2. Case Nos. 02CW404and 03CW442. The Water Court ap-proved the addition of six (6) wells to theACWWA/ECCV Well Field, additionalsources of replacement water to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan, and arecharge project in the Beebe Draw (the“Beebe Draw Recharge Project”). TheWater Court also approved a plan for aug-mentation to replace the out-of-priority de-pletions created by the pumping of wellslocated on 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch Aug-mentation Plan”) and a recharge projecton the 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch RechargeProject”). Finally, the Water Court ap-proved a one-time diversion conditionalsurface water right, a Milton Lake 2003Storage Right, a Plan for Augmentation forthe Milton Lake 2003 Storage Right, aright of substitution, and an appropriativeright of exchange. The 403 and 404/442Decrees were attached to the FirstAmended Application as Exhibits 7 and 8respectively, which are incorporated intothis Second Amended Application. 4.Claims in the Original and First AmendedApplications. The claims in the originalapplication in this case to include ACWWAas an end user in the Water SupplyProject mirrored the claims pled in theamended applications in the 404/442Case. As a result of negotiations with op-posers and three separate motions to dis-miss claims, the 404/442 Decree was sig-nificantly different from the amended ap-plications in those cases. As part of thenegotiations, for example, the Applicantswithdrew their claims for conjunctive useprojects in the Beebe Draw and the 70Ranch alluvial aquifers, and their claimsrelated to the Lower Beebe Draw wellfield.ACWWA was not an end user of water un-der the 404/442 Decree. Therefore, theApplicants sought in the First AmendedApplication to incorporate ACWWA intothe Water Supply Project as it was setforth in the 404/442 Decree, and to addcomponents consistent with the require-ments in that Decree. The Applicantswithdrew their claims related to: a) theconjunctive use projects in the BeebeDraw and 70 Ranch alluvial aquifers; andb) the Lower Beebe Draw Well Field. TheApplicants also: a) included ACWWA inthe Beebe Draw Recharge Project, andthe 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan and Re-charge Project; b) added wells to the 70Ranch Augmentation Plan with a claim fora conditional water right for those wells;and c) added the 70 Ranch Recharge Col-lection Pipeline and additional amounts ofrecharge water to the 70 Ranch Re-charge Project. 5. Purpose of the SecondAmended Application. In this SecondAmended Application, the Applicants seekto: a) amend the ACWWA/ECCV Aug-mentation Plan decreed in Case No.02CW403 to add five (5) wells, to estab-lish priority dates for the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field, to add additional sources of re-placement water to the ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan; b) amend the BeebeDraw Recharge Project decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 to add a re-charge pond; c) amend the 70 RanchAugmentation Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 to add eight (8)wells to the 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan;d ) i nco rpo ra te ACWWA in to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan de-creed in Case No. 02CW403 as amendedby the 404/442 Decree and this Applica-tion; e) incorporate ACWWA into theBeebe Draw Recharge Project decreed inCase Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 asamended by this Application; f) incorpor-ate ACWWA into the 70 Ranch Augment-at ion Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 as amended bythis Application; g) incorporate ACWWAinto the 70 Ranch Recharge Project de-creed in Case Nos. 02CW404 and03CW442 as amended by this Application;h) add ACWWA as an end user of theconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442; i) approvea conditional water right for the United Di-version Facility No. 6 located on the 70Ranch; and j) add storage facilities fromwhich the Applicants may deliver replace-ment water to replace out-of-priority deple-tions and winter return flow obligations.Additionally, the prior applications de-scribed ACWWA’s service area as beinglocated in Arapahoe County. ACWWA’sservice area also includes areas inDouglas County as depicted on the mapattached as Exhibit 2 to the original applic-ation, which is incorporated into thisSecond Amended Application, and Applic-ants include Douglas County in the de-scription of ACWWA’s service area. Inthis case, the Applicants do not seek toadjudicate ACWWA as a user of the ap-propriative rights of exchange, or right ofsubstitution decreed in the 404/442 De-cree. An application to adjudicate ex-changes related to ACWWA’s participa-tion in the Water Supply Project is pendingin Case No. 09CW283. This SecondAmended Application supersedes and re-places the original application filed onDecember 29, 2010, and the FirstAmended Application filed on October 28,2011. Appl icat ion to Amend theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan. 6.General Description. The Applicants seekapproval of ACWWA’s incorporation intothe ACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Planapproved in the 403 Decree as amendedby the 404/442 Decree for the pumping ofthe ACWWA/ECCV Wel l F ie ld forACWWA’s benefit, and delivery of that wa-ter to ACWWA’s service area.

By this Second Amended Ap-plication (also referred to as the “Applica-tion”), ACWWA, ECCV, and United seekto amend the plans for augmentation andrecharge projects decreed in Case Nos.02CW403 (“403 Decree”), 02CW404 and03CW442 (“404/442 Decree”), to addACWWA to certain portions of those De-crees, and for the approval of a condition-al water right. The Applicants are notseeking to replace the 403 Decree or the404/442 Decree, but instead to amendthose decrees to include additional wells,recharge ponds, and water rights. ThisApplication also seeks to amend the plansfor augmentation, recharge projects, andconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW403, 02CW404 and 03CW442to include ACWWA.3. Background and Description of Applic-ants’ Prior Decrees. 3.1. Background.The Water Supply Project, or the North-ern Project, is an integrated system for thediversion, accretion, collection, storage,transmission, and treatment of waterrights that was originally designed toprovide ECCV with a long-term, sustain-able municipal water supply for its servicearea. In order to implement the WaterSupply Project, ECCV, United, and theFarmers Reservoir and Irrigation Com-pany (“FRICO”) entered into a Water Sup-ply Agreement, dated December 18, 2003,which was amended in May 2007. OnDecember 15, 2009, ACWWA, United,and ECCV entered into an Intergovern-mental Agreement (“IGA”) to provide forACWWA’s participation with ECCV andUnited in the Water Supply Project. TheWater Supply Project is now designed toprovide ECCV and ACWWA with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supplyfor their respective service areas locatedin Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, Color-ado. Maps of ECCV’s and ACWWA’s ser-vice areas were attached to the originalapplication in this case as Exhibit 1 andExhibit 2, respectively, which are incorpor-ated into this Second Amended Applica-tion. 3.2. Decreed Components of theWater Supply Project. The Water Courthas previously decreed various compon-ents of the Water Supply Project for EC-CV and United’s use: 3.2.1. Case No.02CW403. The Water Court approved aplan for augmentation (“ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan”) (by this Application,the ECCV Augmentation Plan for ECCV’sUpper Beebe Draw well field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan) forECCV’s Upper Beebe Draw wellfield(“ACWWA/ECCV Well Field”), (by this Ap-plication, the ECCV Well Field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Well Field), as describedin paragraph 15.1 of the 403 Decree. TheACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan al-lowed for the future addition of wells to theaugmentation plan and for the use of addi-tional sources of substitute supply to re-place the out-of-priority depletions result-ing from pumping the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field. 3.2.2. Case Nos. 02CW404and 03CW442. The Water Court ap-proved the addition of six (6) wells to theACWWA/ECCV Well Field, additionalsources of replacement water to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan, and arecharge project in the Beebe Draw (the“Beebe Draw Recharge Project”). TheWater Court also approved a plan for aug-mentation to replace the out-of-priority de-pletions created by the pumping of wellslocated on 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch Aug-mentation Plan”) and a recharge projecton the 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch RechargeProject”). Finally, the Water Court ap-proved a one-time diversion conditionalsurface water right, a Milton Lake 2003Storage Right, a Plan for Augmentation forthe Milton Lake 2003 Storage Right, aright of substitution, and an appropriativeright of exchange. The 403 and 404/442Decrees were attached to the FirstAmended Application as Exhibits 7 and 8respectively, which are incorporated intothis Second Amended Application. 4.Claims in the Original and First AmendedApplications. The claims in the originalapplication in this case to include ACWWAas an end user in the Water SupplyProject mirrored the claims pled in theamended applications in the 404/442Case. As a result of negotiations with op-posers and three separate motions to dis-miss claims, the 404/442 Decree was sig-nificantly different from the amended ap-plications in those cases. As part of thenegotiations, for example, the Applicantswithdrew their claims for conjunctive useprojects in the Beebe Draw and the 70Ranch alluvial aquifers, and their claimsrelated to the Lower Beebe Draw wellfield.ACWWA was not an end user of water un-der the 404/442 Decree. Therefore, theApplicants sought in the First AmendedApplication to incorporate ACWWA intothe Water Supply Project as it was setforth in the 404/442 Decree, and to addcomponents consistent with the require-ments in that Decree. The Applicantswithdrew their claims related to: a) theconjunctive use projects in the BeebeDraw and 70 Ranch alluvial aquifers; andb) the Lower Beebe Draw Well Field. TheApplicants also: a) included ACWWA inthe Beebe Draw Recharge Project, andthe 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan and Re-charge Project; b) added wells to the 70Ranch Augmentation Plan with a claim fora conditional water right for those wells;and c) added the 70 Ranch Recharge Col-lection Pipeline and additional amounts ofrecharge water to the 70 Ranch Re-charge Project. 5. Purpose of the SecondAmended Application. In this SecondAmended Application, the Applicants seekto: a) amend the ACWWA/ECCV Aug-mentation Plan decreed in Case No.02CW403 to add five (5) wells, to estab-lish priority dates for the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field, to add additional sources of re-placement water to the ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan; b) amend the BeebeDraw Recharge Project decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 to add a re-charge pond; c) amend the 70 RanchAugmentation Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 to add eight (8)wells to the 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan;d ) i nco rpo ra te ACWWA in to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan de-creed in Case No. 02CW403 as amendedby the 404/442 Decree and this Applica-tion; e) incorporate ACWWA into theBeebe Draw Recharge Project decreed inCase Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 asamended by this Application; f) incorpor-ate ACWWA into the 70 Ranch Augment-at ion Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 as amended bythis Application; g) incorporate ACWWAinto the 70 Ranch Recharge Project de-creed in Case Nos. 02CW404 and03CW442 as amended by this Application;h) add ACWWA as an end user of theconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442; i) approvea conditional water right for the United Di-version Facility No. 6 located on the 70Ranch; and j) add storage facilities fromwhich the Applicants may deliver replace-ment water to replace out-of-priority deple-tions and winter return flow obligations.Additionally, the prior applications de-scribed ACWWA’s service area as beinglocated in Arapahoe County. ACWWA’sservice area also includes areas inDouglas County as depicted on the mapattached as Exhibit 2 to the original applic-ation, which is incorporated into thisSecond Amended Application, and Applic-ants include Douglas County in the de-scription of ACWWA’s service area. Inthis case, the Applicants do not seek toadjudicate ACWWA as a user of the ap-propriative rights of exchange, or right ofsubstitution decreed in the 404/442 De-cree. An application to adjudicate ex-changes related to ACWWA’s participa-tion in the Water Supply Project is pendingin Case No. 09CW283. This SecondAmended Application supersedes and re-places the original application filed onDecember 29, 2010, and the FirstAmended Application filed on October 28,2011. Appl icat ion to Amend theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan. 6.General Description. The Applicants seekapproval of ACWWA’s incorporation intothe ACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Planapproved in the 403 Decree as amendedby the 404/442 Decree for the pumping ofthe ACWWA/ECCV Wel l F ie ld forACWWA’s benefit, and delivery of that wa-ter to ACWWA’s service area.

By this Second Amended Ap-plication (also referred to as the “Applica-tion”), ACWWA, ECCV, and United seekto amend the plans for augmentation andrecharge projects decreed in Case Nos.02CW403 (“403 Decree”), 02CW404 and03CW442 (“404/442 Decree”), to addACWWA to certain portions of those De-crees, and for the approval of a condition-al water right. The Applicants are notseeking to replace the 403 Decree or the404/442 Decree, but instead to amendthose decrees to include additional wells,recharge ponds, and water rights. ThisApplication also seeks to amend the plansfor augmentation, recharge projects, andconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW403, 02CW404 and 03CW442to include ACWWA.3. Background and Description of Applic-ants’ Prior Decrees. 3.1. Background.The Water Supply Project, or the North-ern Project, is an integrated system for thediversion, accretion, collection, storage,transmission, and treatment of waterrights that was originally designed toprovide ECCV with a long-term, sustain-able municipal water supply for its servicearea. In order to implement the WaterSupply Project, ECCV, United, and theFarmers Reservoir and Irrigation Com-pany (“FRICO”) entered into a Water Sup-ply Agreement, dated December 18, 2003,which was amended in May 2007. OnDecember 15, 2009, ACWWA, United,and ECCV entered into an Intergovern-mental Agreement (“IGA”) to provide forACWWA’s participation with ECCV andUnited in the Water Supply Project. TheWater Supply Project is now designed toprovide ECCV and ACWWA with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supplyfor their respective service areas locatedin Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, Color-ado. Maps of ECCV’s and ACWWA’s ser-vice areas were attached to the originalapplication in this case as Exhibit 1 andExhibit 2, respectively, which are incorpor-ated into this Second Amended Applica-tion. 3.2. Decreed Components of theWater Supply Project. The Water Courthas previously decreed various compon-ents of the Water Supply Project for EC-CV and United’s use: 3.2.1. Case No.02CW403. The Water Court approved aplan for augmentation (“ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan”) (by this Application,the ECCV Augmentation Plan for ECCV’sUpper Beebe Draw well field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan) forECCV’s Upper Beebe Draw wellfield(“ACWWA/ECCV Well Field”), (by this Ap-plication, the ECCV Well Field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Well Field), as describedin paragraph 15.1 of the 403 Decree. TheACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan al-lowed for the future addition of wells to theaugmentation plan and for the use of addi-tional sources of substitute supply to re-place the out-of-priority depletions result-ing from pumping the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field. 3.2.2. Case Nos. 02CW404and 03CW442. The Water Court ap-proved the addition of six (6) wells to theACWWA/ECCV Well Field, additionalsources of replacement water to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan, and arecharge project in the Beebe Draw (the“Beebe Draw Recharge Project”). TheWater Court also approved a plan for aug-mentation to replace the out-of-priority de-pletions created by the pumping of wellslocated on 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch Aug-mentation Plan”) and a recharge projecton the 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch RechargeProject”). Finally, the Water Court ap-proved a one-time diversion conditionalsurface water right, a Milton Lake 2003Storage Right, a Plan for Augmentation forthe Milton Lake 2003 Storage Right, aright of substitution, and an appropriativeright of exchange. The 403 and 404/442Decrees were attached to the FirstAmended Application as Exhibits 7 and 8respectively, which are incorporated intothis Second Amended Application. 4.Claims in the Original and First AmendedApplications. The claims in the originalapplication in this case to include ACWWAas an end user in the Water SupplyProject mirrored the claims pled in theamended applications in the 404/442Case. As a result of negotiations with op-posers and three separate motions to dis-miss claims, the 404/442 Decree was sig-nificantly different from the amended ap-plications in those cases. As part of thenegotiations, for example, the Applicantswithdrew their claims for conjunctive useprojects in the Beebe Draw and the 70Ranch alluvial aquifers, and their claimsrelated to the Lower Beebe Draw wellfield.ACWWA was not an end user of water un-der the 404/442 Decree. Therefore, theApplicants sought in the First AmendedApplication to incorporate ACWWA intothe Water Supply Project as it was setforth in the 404/442 Decree, and to addcomponents consistent with the require-ments in that Decree. The Applicantswithdrew their claims related to: a) theconjunctive use projects in the BeebeDraw and 70 Ranch alluvial aquifers; andb) the Lower Beebe Draw Well Field. TheApplicants also: a) included ACWWA inthe Beebe Draw Recharge Project, andthe 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan and Re-charge Project; b) added wells to the 70Ranch Augmentation Plan with a claim fora conditional water right for those wells;and c) added the 70 Ranch Recharge Col-lection Pipeline and additional amounts ofrecharge water to the 70 Ranch Re-charge Project. 5. Purpose of the SecondAmended Application. In this SecondAmended Application, the Applicants seekto: a) amend the ACWWA/ECCV Aug-mentation Plan decreed in Case No.02CW403 to add five (5) wells, to estab-lish priority dates for the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field, to add additional sources of re-placement water to the ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan; b) amend the BeebeDraw Recharge Project decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 to add a re-charge pond; c) amend the 70 RanchAugmentation Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 to add eight (8)wells to the 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan;d ) i nco rpo ra te ACWWA in to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan de-creed in Case No. 02CW403 as amendedby the 404/442 Decree and this Applica-tion; e) incorporate ACWWA into theBeebe Draw Recharge Project decreed inCase Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 asamended by this Application; f) incorpor-ate ACWWA into the 70 Ranch Augment-at ion Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 as amended bythis Application; g) incorporate ACWWAinto the 70 Ranch Recharge Project de-creed in Case Nos. 02CW404 and03CW442 as amended by this Application;h) add ACWWA as an end user of theconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442; i) approvea conditional water right for the United Di-version Facility No. 6 located on the 70Ranch; and j) add storage facilities fromwhich the Applicants may deliver replace-ment water to replace out-of-priority deple-tions and winter return flow obligations.Additionally, the prior applications de-scribed ACWWA’s service area as beinglocated in Arapahoe County. ACWWA’sservice area also includes areas inDouglas County as depicted on the mapattached as Exhibit 2 to the original applic-ation, which is incorporated into thisSecond Amended Application, and Applic-ants include Douglas County in the de-scription of ACWWA’s service area. Inthis case, the Applicants do not seek toadjudicate ACWWA as a user of the ap-propriative rights of exchange, or right ofsubstitution decreed in the 404/442 De-cree. An application to adjudicate ex-changes related to ACWWA’s participa-tion in the Water Supply Project is pendingin Case No. 09CW283. This SecondAmended Application supersedes and re-places the original application filed onDecember 29, 2010, and the FirstAmended Application filed on October 28,2011. Appl icat ion to Amend theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan. 6.General Description. The Applicants seekapproval of ACWWA’s incorporation intothe ACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Planapproved in the 403 Decree as amendedby the 404/442 Decree for the pumping ofthe ACWWA/ECCV Wel l F ie ld forACWWA’s benefit, and delivery of that wa-ter to ACWWA’s service area.

By this Second Amended Ap-plication (also referred to as the “Applica-tion”), ACWWA, ECCV, and United seekto amend the plans for augmentation andrecharge projects decreed in Case Nos.02CW403 (“403 Decree”), 02CW404 and03CW442 (“404/442 Decree”), to addACWWA to certain portions of those De-crees, and for the approval of a condition-al water right. The Applicants are notseeking to replace the 403 Decree or the404/442 Decree, but instead to amendthose decrees to include additional wells,recharge ponds, and water rights. ThisApplication also seeks to amend the plansfor augmentation, recharge projects, andconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW403, 02CW404 and 03CW442to include ACWWA.3. Background and Description of Applic-ants’ Prior Decrees. 3.1. Background.The Water Supply Project, or the North-ern Project, is an integrated system for thediversion, accretion, collection, storage,transmission, and treatment of waterrights that was originally designed toprovide ECCV with a long-term, sustain-able municipal water supply for its servicearea. In order to implement the WaterSupply Project, ECCV, United, and theFarmers Reservoir and Irrigation Com-pany (“FRICO”) entered into a Water Sup-ply Agreement, dated December 18, 2003,which was amended in May 2007. OnDecember 15, 2009, ACWWA, United,and ECCV entered into an Intergovern-mental Agreement (“IGA”) to provide forACWWA’s participation with ECCV andUnited in the Water Supply Project. TheWater Supply Project is now designed toprovide ECCV and ACWWA with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supplyfor their respective service areas locatedin Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, Color-ado. Maps of ECCV’s and ACWWA’s ser-vice areas were attached to the originalapplication in this case as Exhibit 1 andExhibit 2, respectively, which are incorpor-ated into this Second Amended Applica-tion. 3.2. Decreed Components of theWater Supply Project. The Water Courthas previously decreed various compon-ents of the Water Supply Project for EC-CV and United’s use: 3.2.1. Case No.02CW403. The Water Court approved aplan for augmentation (“ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan”) (by this Application,the ECCV Augmentation Plan for ECCV’sUpper Beebe Draw well field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan) forECCV’s Upper Beebe Draw wellfield(“ACWWA/ECCV Well Field”), (by this Ap-plication, the ECCV Well Field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Well Field), as describedin paragraph 15.1 of the 403 Decree. TheACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan al-lowed for the future addition of wells to theaugmentation plan and for the use of addi-tional sources of substitute supply to re-place the out-of-priority depletions result-ing from pumping the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field. 3.2.2. Case Nos. 02CW404and 03CW442. The Water Court ap-proved the addition of six (6) wells to theACWWA/ECCV Well Field, additionalsources of replacement water to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan, and arecharge project in the Beebe Draw (the“Beebe Draw Recharge Project”). TheWater Court also approved a plan for aug-mentation to replace the out-of-priority de-pletions created by the pumping of wellslocated on 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch Aug-mentation Plan”) and a recharge projecton the 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch RechargeProject”). Finally, the Water Court ap-proved a one-time diversion conditionalsurface water right, a Milton Lake 2003Storage Right, a Plan for Augmentation forthe Milton Lake 2003 Storage Right, aright of substitution, and an appropriativeright of exchange. The 403 and 404/442Decrees were attached to the FirstAmended Application as Exhibits 7 and 8respectively, which are incorporated intothis Second Amended Application. 4.Claims in the Original and First AmendedApplications. The claims in the originalapplication in this case to include ACWWAas an end user in the Water SupplyProject mirrored the claims pled in theamended applications in the 404/442Case. As a result of negotiations with op-posers and three separate motions to dis-miss claims, the 404/442 Decree was sig-nificantly different from the amended ap-plications in those cases. As part of thenegotiations, for example, the Applicantswithdrew their claims for conjunctive useprojects in the Beebe Draw and the 70Ranch alluvial aquifers, and their claimsrelated to the Lower Beebe Draw wellfield.ACWWA was not an end user of water un-der the 404/442 Decree. Therefore, theApplicants sought in the First AmendedApplication to incorporate ACWWA intothe Water Supply Project as it was setforth in the 404/442 Decree, and to addcomponents consistent with the require-ments in that Decree. The Applicantswithdrew their claims related to: a) theconjunctive use projects in the BeebeDraw and 70 Ranch alluvial aquifers; andb) the Lower Beebe Draw Well Field. TheApplicants also: a) included ACWWA inthe Beebe Draw Recharge Project, andthe 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan and Re-charge Project; b) added wells to the 70Ranch Augmentation Plan with a claim fora conditional water right for those wells;and c) added the 70 Ranch Recharge Col-lection Pipeline and additional amounts ofrecharge water to the 70 Ranch Re-charge Project. 5. Purpose of the SecondAmended Application. In this SecondAmended Application, the Applicants seekto: a) amend the ACWWA/ECCV Aug-mentation Plan decreed in Case No.02CW403 to add five (5) wells, to estab-lish priority dates for the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field, to add additional sources of re-placement water to the ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan; b) amend the BeebeDraw Recharge Project decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 to add a re-charge pond; c) amend the 70 RanchAugmentation Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 to add eight (8)wells to the 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan;d ) i nco rpo ra te ACWWA in to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan de-creed in Case No. 02CW403 as amendedby the 404/442 Decree and this Applica-tion; e) incorporate ACWWA into theBeebe Draw Recharge Project decreed inCase Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 asamended by this Application; f) incorpor-ate ACWWA into the 70 Ranch Augment-at ion Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 as amended bythis Application; g) incorporate ACWWAinto the 70 Ranch Recharge Project de-creed in Case Nos. 02CW404 and03CW442 as amended by this Application;h) add ACWWA as an end user of theconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442; i) approvea conditional water right for the United Di-version Facility No. 6 located on the 70Ranch; and j) add storage facilities fromwhich the Applicants may deliver replace-ment water to replace out-of-priority deple-tions and winter return flow obligations.Additionally, the prior applications de-scribed ACWWA’s service area as beinglocated in Arapahoe County. ACWWA’sservice area also includes areas inDouglas County as depicted on the mapattached as Exhibit 2 to the original applic-ation, which is incorporated into thisSecond Amended Application, and Applic-ants include Douglas County in the de-scription of ACWWA’s service area. Inthis case, the Applicants do not seek toadjudicate ACWWA as a user of the ap-propriative rights of exchange, or right ofsubstitution decreed in the 404/442 De-cree. An application to adjudicate ex-changes related to ACWWA’s participa-tion in the Water Supply Project is pendingin Case No. 09CW283. This SecondAmended Application supersedes and re-places the original application filed onDecember 29, 2010, and the FirstAmended Application filed on October 28,2011. Appl icat ion to Amend theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan. 6.General Description. The Applicants seekapproval of ACWWA’s incorporation intothe ACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Planapproved in the 403 Decree as amendedby the 404/442 Decree for the pumping ofthe ACWWA/ECCV Wel l F ie ld forACWWA’s benefit, and delivery of that wa-ter to ACWWA’s service area.

By this Second Amended Ap-plication (also referred to as the “Applica-tion”), ACWWA, ECCV, and United seekto amend the plans for augmentation andrecharge projects decreed in Case Nos.02CW403 (“403 Decree”), 02CW404 and03CW442 (“404/442 Decree”), to addACWWA to certain portions of those De-crees, and for the approval of a condition-al water right. The Applicants are notseeking to replace the 403 Decree or the404/442 Decree, but instead to amendthose decrees to include additional wells,recharge ponds, and water rights. ThisApplication also seeks to amend the plansfor augmentation, recharge projects, andconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW403, 02CW404 and 03CW442to include ACWWA.3. Background and Description of Applic-ants’ Prior Decrees. 3.1. Background.The Water Supply Project, or the North-ern Project, is an integrated system for thediversion, accretion, collection, storage,transmission, and treatment of waterrights that was originally designed toprovide ECCV with a long-term, sustain-able municipal water supply for its servicearea. In order to implement the WaterSupply Project, ECCV, United, and theFarmers Reservoir and Irrigation Com-pany (“FRICO”) entered into a Water Sup-ply Agreement, dated December 18, 2003,which was amended in May 2007. OnDecember 15, 2009, ACWWA, United,and ECCV entered into an Intergovern-mental Agreement (“IGA”) to provide forACWWA’s participation with ECCV andUnited in the Water Supply Project. TheWater Supply Project is now designed toprovide ECCV and ACWWA with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supplyfor their respective service areas locatedin Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, Color-ado. Maps of ECCV’s and ACWWA’s ser-vice areas were attached to the originalapplication in this case as Exhibit 1 andExhibit 2, respectively, which are incorpor-ated into this Second Amended Applica-tion. 3.2. Decreed Components of theWater Supply Project. The Water Courthas previously decreed various compon-ents of the Water Supply Project for EC-CV and United’s use: 3.2.1. Case No.02CW403. The Water Court approved aplan for augmentation (“ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan”) (by this Application,the ECCV Augmentation Plan for ECCV’sUpper Beebe Draw well field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan) forECCV’s Upper Beebe Draw wellfield(“ACWWA/ECCV Well Field”), (by this Ap-plication, the ECCV Well Field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Well Field), as describedin paragraph 15.1 of the 403 Decree. TheACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan al-lowed for the future addition of wells to theaugmentation plan and for the use of addi-tional sources of substitute supply to re-place the out-of-priority depletions result-ing from pumping the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field. 3.2.2. Case Nos. 02CW404and 03CW442. The Water Court ap-proved the addition of six (6) wells to theACWWA/ECCV Well Field, additionalsources of replacement water to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan, and arecharge project in the Beebe Draw (the“Beebe Draw Recharge Project”). TheWater Court also approved a plan for aug-mentation to replace the out-of-priority de-pletions created by the pumping of wellslocated on 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch Aug-mentation Plan”) and a recharge projecton the 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch RechargeProject”). Finally, the Water Court ap-proved a one-time diversion conditionalsurface water right, a Milton Lake 2003Storage Right, a Plan for Augmentation forthe Milton Lake 2003 Storage Right, aright of substitution, and an appropriativeright of exchange. The 403 and 404/442Decrees were attached to the FirstAmended Application as Exhibits 7 and 8respectively, which are incorporated intothis Second Amended Application. 4.Claims in the Original and First AmendedApplications. The claims in the originalapplication in this case to include ACWWAas an end user in the Water SupplyProject mirrored the claims pled in theamended applications in the 404/442Case. As a result of negotiations with op-posers and three separate motions to dis-miss claims, the 404/442 Decree was sig-nificantly different from the amended ap-plications in those cases. As part of thenegotiations, for example, the Applicantswithdrew their claims for conjunctive useprojects in the Beebe Draw and the 70Ranch alluvial aquifers, and their claimsrelated to the Lower Beebe Draw wellfield.ACWWA was not an end user of water un-der the 404/442 Decree. Therefore, theApplicants sought in the First AmendedApplication to incorporate ACWWA intothe Water Supply Project as it was setforth in the 404/442 Decree, and to addcomponents consistent with the require-ments in that Decree. The Applicantswithdrew their claims related to: a) theconjunctive use projects in the BeebeDraw and 70 Ranch alluvial aquifers; andb) the Lower Beebe Draw Well Field. TheApplicants also: a) included ACWWA inthe Beebe Draw Recharge Project, andthe 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan and Re-charge Project; b) added wells to the 70Ranch Augmentation Plan with a claim fora conditional water right for those wells;and c) added the 70 Ranch Recharge Col-lection Pipeline and additional amounts ofrecharge water to the 70 Ranch Re-charge Project. 5. Purpose of the SecondAmended Application. In this SecondAmended Application, the Applicants seekto: a) amend the ACWWA/ECCV Aug-mentation Plan decreed in Case No.02CW403 to add five (5) wells, to estab-lish priority dates for the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field, to add additional sources of re-placement water to the ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan; b) amend the BeebeDraw Recharge Project decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 to add a re-charge pond; c) amend the 70 RanchAugmentation Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 to add eight (8)wells to the 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan;d ) i nco rpo ra te ACWWA in to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan de-creed in Case No. 02CW403 as amendedby the 404/442 Decree and this Applica-tion; e) incorporate ACWWA into theBeebe Draw Recharge Project decreed inCase Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 asamended by this Application; f) incorpor-ate ACWWA into the 70 Ranch Augment-at ion Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 as amended bythis Application; g) incorporate ACWWAinto the 70 Ranch Recharge Project de-creed in Case Nos. 02CW404 and03CW442 as amended by this Application;h) add ACWWA as an end user of theconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442; i) approvea conditional water right for the United Di-version Facility No. 6 located on the 70Ranch; and j) add storage facilities fromwhich the Applicants may deliver replace-ment water to replace out-of-priority deple-tions and winter return flow obligations.Additionally, the prior applications de-scribed ACWWA’s service area as beinglocated in Arapahoe County. ACWWA’sservice area also includes areas inDouglas County as depicted on the mapattached as Exhibit 2 to the original applic-ation, which is incorporated into thisSecond Amended Application, and Applic-ants include Douglas County in the de-scription of ACWWA’s service area. Inthis case, the Applicants do not seek toadjudicate ACWWA as a user of the ap-propriative rights of exchange, or right ofsubstitution decreed in the 404/442 De-cree. An application to adjudicate ex-changes related to ACWWA’s participa-tion in the Water Supply Project is pendingin Case No. 09CW283. This SecondAmended Application supersedes and re-places the original application filed onDecember 29, 2010, and the FirstAmended Application filed on October 28,2011. Appl icat ion to Amend theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan. 6.General Description. The Applicants seekapproval of ACWWA’s incorporation intothe ACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Planapproved in the 403 Decree as amendedby the 404/442 Decree for the pumping ofthe ACWWA/ECCV Wel l F ie ld forACWWA’s benefit, and delivery of that wa-ter to ACWWA’s service area.

By this Second Amended Ap-plication (also referred to as the “Applica-tion”), ACWWA, ECCV, and United seekto amend the plans for augmentation andrecharge projects decreed in Case Nos.02CW403 (“403 Decree”), 02CW404 and03CW442 (“404/442 Decree”), to addACWWA to certain portions of those De-crees, and for the approval of a condition-al water right. The Applicants are notseeking to replace the 403 Decree or the404/442 Decree, but instead to amendthose decrees to include additional wells,recharge ponds, and water rights. ThisApplication also seeks to amend the plansfor augmentation, recharge projects, andconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW403, 02CW404 and 03CW442to include ACWWA.3. Background and Description of Applic-ants’ Prior Decrees. 3.1. Background.The Water Supply Project, or the North-ern Project, is an integrated system for thediversion, accretion, collection, storage,transmission, and treatment of waterrights that was originally designed toprovide ECCV with a long-term, sustain-able municipal water supply for its servicearea. In order to implement the WaterSupply Project, ECCV, United, and theFarmers Reservoir and Irrigation Com-pany (“FRICO”) entered into a Water Sup-ply Agreement, dated December 18, 2003,which was amended in May 2007. OnDecember 15, 2009, ACWWA, United,and ECCV entered into an Intergovern-mental Agreement (“IGA”) to provide forACWWA’s participation with ECCV andUnited in the Water Supply Project. TheWater Supply Project is now designed toprovide ECCV and ACWWA with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supplyfor their respective service areas locatedin Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, Color-ado. Maps of ECCV’s and ACWWA’s ser-vice areas were attached to the originalapplication in this case as Exhibit 1 andExhibit 2, respectively, which are incorpor-ated into this Second Amended Applica-tion. 3.2. Decreed Components of theWater Supply Project. The Water Courthas previously decreed various compon-ents of the Water Supply Project for EC-CV and United’s use: 3.2.1. Case No.02CW403. The Water Court approved aplan for augmentation (“ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan”) (by this Application,the ECCV Augmentation Plan for ECCV’sUpper Beebe Draw well field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan) forECCV’s Upper Beebe Draw wellfield(“ACWWA/ECCV Well Field”), (by this Ap-plication, the ECCV Well Field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Well Field), as describedin paragraph 15.1 of the 403 Decree. TheACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan al-lowed for the future addition of wells to theaugmentation plan and for the use of addi-tional sources of substitute supply to re-place the out-of-priority depletions result-ing from pumping the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field. 3.2.2. Case Nos. 02CW404and 03CW442. The Water Court ap-proved the addition of six (6) wells to theACWWA/ECCV Well Field, additionalsources of replacement water to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan, and arecharge project in the Beebe Draw (the“Beebe Draw Recharge Project”). TheWater Court also approved a plan for aug-mentation to replace the out-of-priority de-pletions created by the pumping of wellslocated on 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch Aug-mentation Plan”) and a recharge projecton the 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch RechargeProject”). Finally, the Water Court ap-proved a one-time diversion conditionalsurface water right, a Milton Lake 2003Storage Right, a Plan for Augmentation forthe Milton Lake 2003 Storage Right, aright of substitution, and an appropriativeright of exchange. The 403 and 404/442Decrees were attached to the FirstAmended Application as Exhibits 7 and 8respectively, which are incorporated intothis Second Amended Application. 4.Claims in the Original and First AmendedApplications. The claims in the originalapplication in this case to include ACWWAas an end user in the Water SupplyProject mirrored the claims pled in theamended applications in the 404/442Case. As a result of negotiations with op-posers and three separate motions to dis-miss claims, the 404/442 Decree was sig-nificantly different from the amended ap-plications in those cases. As part of thenegotiations, for example, the Applicantswithdrew their claims for conjunctive useprojects in the Beebe Draw and the 70Ranch alluvial aquifers, and their claimsrelated to the Lower Beebe Draw wellfield.ACWWA was not an end user of water un-der the 404/442 Decree. Therefore, theApplicants sought in the First AmendedApplication to incorporate ACWWA intothe Water Supply Project as it was setforth in the 404/442 Decree, and to addcomponents consistent with the require-ments in that Decree. The Applicantswithdrew their claims related to: a) theconjunctive use projects in the BeebeDraw and 70 Ranch alluvial aquifers; andb) the Lower Beebe Draw Well Field. TheApplicants also: a) included ACWWA inthe Beebe Draw Recharge Project, andthe 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan and Re-charge Project; b) added wells to the 70Ranch Augmentation Plan with a claim fora conditional water right for those wells;and c) added the 70 Ranch Recharge Col-lection Pipeline and additional amounts ofrecharge water to the 70 Ranch Re-charge Project. 5. Purpose of the SecondAmended Application. In this SecondAmended Application, the Applicants seekto: a) amend the ACWWA/ECCV Aug-mentation Plan decreed in Case No.02CW403 to add five (5) wells, to estab-lish priority dates for the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field, to add additional sources of re-placement water to the ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan; b) amend the BeebeDraw Recharge Project decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 to add a re-charge pond; c) amend the 70 RanchAugmentation Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 to add eight (8)wells to the 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan;d ) i nco rpo ra te ACWWA in to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan de-creed in Case No. 02CW403 as amendedby the 404/442 Decree and this Applica-tion; e) incorporate ACWWA into theBeebe Draw Recharge Project decreed inCase Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 asamended by this Application; f) incorpor-ate ACWWA into the 70 Ranch Augment-at ion Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 as amended bythis Application; g) incorporate ACWWAinto the 70 Ranch Recharge Project de-creed in Case Nos. 02CW404 and03CW442 as amended by this Application;h) add ACWWA as an end user of theconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442; i) approvea conditional water right for the United Di-version Facility No. 6 located on the 70Ranch; and j) add storage facilities fromwhich the Applicants may deliver replace-ment water to replace out-of-priority deple-tions and winter return flow obligations.Additionally, the prior applications de-scribed ACWWA’s service area as beinglocated in Arapahoe County. ACWWA’sservice area also includes areas inDouglas County as depicted on the mapattached as Exhibit 2 to the original applic-ation, which is incorporated into thisSecond Amended Application, and Applic-ants include Douglas County in the de-scription of ACWWA’s service area. Inthis case, the Applicants do not seek toadjudicate ACWWA as a user of the ap-propriative rights of exchange, or right ofsubstitution decreed in the 404/442 De-cree. An application to adjudicate ex-changes related to ACWWA’s participa-tion in the Water Supply Project is pendingin Case No. 09CW283. This SecondAmended Application supersedes and re-places the original application filed onDecember 29, 2010, and the FirstAmended Application filed on October 28,2011. Appl icat ion to Amend theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan. 6.General Description. The Applicants seekapproval of ACWWA’s incorporation intothe ACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Planapproved in the 403 Decree as amendedby the 404/442 Decree for the pumping ofthe ACWWA/ECCV Wel l F ie ld forACWWA’s benefit, and delivery of that wa-ter to ACWWA’s service area.

By this Second Amended Ap-plication (also referred to as the “Applica-tion”), ACWWA, ECCV, and United seekto amend the plans for augmentation andrecharge projects decreed in Case Nos.02CW403 (“403 Decree”), 02CW404 and03CW442 (“404/442 Decree”), to addACWWA to certain portions of those De-crees, and for the approval of a condition-al water right. The Applicants are notseeking to replace the 403 Decree or the404/442 Decree, but instead to amendthose decrees to include additional wells,recharge ponds, and water rights. ThisApplication also seeks to amend the plansfor augmentation, recharge projects, andconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW403, 02CW404 and 03CW442to include ACWWA.3. Background and Description of Applic-ants’ Prior Decrees. 3.1. Background.The Water Supply Project, or the North-ern Project, is an integrated system for thediversion, accretion, collection, storage,transmission, and treatment of waterrights that was originally designed toprovide ECCV with a long-term, sustain-able municipal water supply for its servicearea. In order to implement the WaterSupply Project, ECCV, United, and theFarmers Reservoir and Irrigation Com-pany (“FRICO”) entered into a Water Sup-ply Agreement, dated December 18, 2003,which was amended in May 2007. OnDecember 15, 2009, ACWWA, United,and ECCV entered into an Intergovern-mental Agreement (“IGA”) to provide forACWWA’s participation with ECCV andUnited in the Water Supply Project. TheWater Supply Project is now designed toprovide ECCV and ACWWA with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supplyfor their respective service areas locatedin Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, Color-ado. Maps of ECCV’s and ACWWA’s ser-vice areas were attached to the originalapplication in this case as Exhibit 1 andExhibit 2, respectively, which are incorpor-ated into this Second Amended Applica-tion. 3.2. Decreed Components of theWater Supply Project. The Water Courthas previously decreed various compon-ents of the Water Supply Project for EC-CV and United’s use: 3.2.1. Case No.02CW403. The Water Court approved aplan for augmentation (“ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan”) (by this Application,the ECCV Augmentation Plan for ECCV’sUpper Beebe Draw well field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan) forECCV’s Upper Beebe Draw wellfield(“ACWWA/ECCV Well Field”), (by this Ap-plication, the ECCV Well Field defined inthe 403 Decree is redefined as theACWWA/ECCV Well Field), as describedin paragraph 15.1 of the 403 Decree. TheACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan al-lowed for the future addition of wells to theaugmentation plan and for the use of addi-tional sources of substitute supply to re-place the out-of-priority depletions result-ing from pumping the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field. 3.2.2. Case Nos. 02CW404and 03CW442. The Water Court ap-proved the addition of six (6) wells to theACWWA/ECCV Well Field, additionalsources of replacement water to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan, and arecharge project in the Beebe Draw (the“Beebe Draw Recharge Project”). TheWater Court also approved a plan for aug-mentation to replace the out-of-priority de-pletions created by the pumping of wellslocated on 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch Aug-mentation Plan”) and a recharge projecton the 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch RechargeProject”). Finally, the Water Court ap-proved a one-time diversion conditionalsurface water right, a Milton Lake 2003Storage Right, a Plan for Augmentation forthe Milton Lake 2003 Storage Right, aright of substitution, and an appropriativeright of exchange. The 403 and 404/442Decrees were attached to the FirstAmended Application as Exhibits 7 and 8respectively, which are incorporated intothis Second Amended Application. 4.Claims in the Original and First AmendedApplications. The claims in the originalapplication in this case to include ACWWAas an end user in the Water SupplyProject mirrored the claims pled in theamended applications in the 404/442Case. As a result of negotiations with op-posers and three separate motions to dis-miss claims, the 404/442 Decree was sig-nificantly different from the amended ap-plications in those cases. As part of thenegotiations, for example, the Applicantswithdrew their claims for conjunctive useprojects in the Beebe Draw and the 70Ranch alluvial aquifers, and their claimsrelated to the Lower Beebe Draw wellfield.ACWWA was not an end user of water un-der the 404/442 Decree. Therefore, theApplicants sought in the First AmendedApplication to incorporate ACWWA intothe Water Supply Project as it was setforth in the 404/442 Decree, and to addcomponents consistent with the require-ments in that Decree. The Applicantswithdrew their claims related to: a) theconjunctive use projects in the BeebeDraw and 70 Ranch alluvial aquifers; andb) the Lower Beebe Draw Well Field. TheApplicants also: a) included ACWWA inthe Beebe Draw Recharge Project, andthe 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan and Re-charge Project; b) added wells to the 70Ranch Augmentation Plan with a claim fora conditional water right for those wells;and c) added the 70 Ranch Recharge Col-lection Pipeline and additional amounts ofrecharge water to the 70 Ranch Re-charge Project. 5. Purpose of the SecondAmended Application. In this SecondAmended Application, the Applicants seekto: a) amend the ACWWA/ECCV Aug-mentation Plan decreed in Case No.02CW403 to add five (5) wells, to estab-lish priority dates for the ACWWA/ECCVWell Field, to add additional sources of re-placement water to the ACWWA/ECCVAugmentation Plan; b) amend the BeebeDraw Recharge Project decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 to add a re-charge pond; c) amend the 70 RanchAugmentation Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 to add eight (8)wells to the 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan;d ) i nco rpo ra te ACWWA in to theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan de-creed in Case No. 02CW403 as amendedby the 404/442 Decree and this Applica-tion; e) incorporate ACWWA into theBeebe Draw Recharge Project decreed inCase Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 asamended by this Application; f) incorpor-ate ACWWA into the 70 Ranch Augment-at ion Plan decreed in Case Nos.02CW404 and 03CW442 as amended bythis Application; g) incorporate ACWWAinto the 70 Ranch Recharge Project de-creed in Case Nos. 02CW404 and03CW442 as amended by this Application;h) add ACWWA as an end user of theconditional water rights decreed in CaseNos. 02CW404 and 03CW442; i) approvea conditional water right for the United Di-version Facility No. 6 located on the 70Ranch; and j) add storage facilities fromwhich the Applicants may deliver replace-ment water to replace out-of-priority deple-tions and winter return flow obligations.Additionally, the prior applications de-scribed ACWWA’s service area as beinglocated in Arapahoe County. ACWWA’sservice area also includes areas inDouglas County as depicted on the mapattached as Exhibit 2 to the original applic-ation, which is incorporated into thisSecond Amended Application, and Applic-ants include Douglas County in the de-scription of ACWWA’s service area. Inthis case, the Applicants do not seek toadjudicate ACWWA as a user of the ap-propriative rights of exchange, or right ofsubstitution decreed in the 404/442 De-cree. An application to adjudicate ex-changes related to ACWWA’s participa-tion in the Water Supply Project is pendingin Case No. 09CW283. This SecondAmended Application supersedes and re-places the original application filed onDecember 29, 2010, and the FirstAmended Application filed on October 28,2011. Appl icat ion to Amend theACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Plan. 6.General Description. The Applicants seekapproval of ACWWA’s incorporation intothe ACWWA/ECCV Augmentation Planapproved in the 403 Decree as amendedby the 404/442 Decree for the pumping ofthe ACWWA/ECCV Wel l F ie ld forACWWA’s benefit, and delivery of that wa-ter to ACWWA’s service area.

Chefs ready, grilling, able
Fifteen Denver-area chefs were fired up June 12 to compete for top slider honors during the fifth annual Hot Rocks Griller Challenge at Elway’s Cherry Creek, a ben-efit for the Denver Health Foundation.
Roughly 1,000 attendees scarfed down sliders made from between-the-bun in-gredients that varied from wild boar (Elise Wiggins, Panzano) to country ham with pickled green tomato (Jennifer Jasinski, Rioja, Bistro Vendome, Euclid Hall) to grilled watermelon (Paul Reilly, Beast + Bottle).
The winners of the slider smackdown were determined by popular vote as well as chefs’ choice.
People’s choice:First — Tyler Wiard and Aniedra Nich-
ols of Elway’s Cherry Creek.Second — Troy Guard of TAG, TAG Raw
Bar and TAG Burger Bar.Third — Steve Ballas of Steve’s Snappin’
Dogs.Chefs’ choice:First — Troy Guard.Second — Max MacKissock of Squeaky
Bean.Third — Jennifer Jasinski of Rioja, Bis-
tro Vendome and Euclid Hall.Worth noting: I’ve attended all five
Hot Rocks events, and this year the chefs kicked it up a notch on the side dishes that accompanied the sliders.
Standouts included Guard’s five-grain salad, Robert Bogart’s (Elway’s Downtown) potato and black bean salad (I heard one slider slurper say, “I wish I could buy that stuff!”), Reilly’s braised collard greens and Jasinski’s mixed melon salad.
Hollywood transforms DenverDid the Paramount Theatre, downtown
Denver’s historical performance center, change its name to Paramount New York? It did for one day.
On June 12, Hollywood moved east to the Mile High City to shoot the feature film “Dear Eleanor,” starring Jessica Alba, Luke Wilson, Paul Johansson, Ione Skye, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Isabelle Fuhrman.
The production caused quite a stir among downtown workers and passersby who spotted the new name on the mar-quee as well as all the vintage automobiles parked along Glenarm Place.
The storyline follows two best friends who travel cross-country in the 1960s to meet Eleanor Roosevelt.
Other Denver venues playing cameo roles in the movie are LoDo and the Mayan Theater. One local notable who landed a part in the film is Rekha Ohal, the exotic and lovely piano player who is a regular at Elway’s Cherry Creek.
Ohal posted on her Facebook page: “My gig today: playing the part of a piano player in 1962 for a movie that’s being filmed in Denver. At least I know how to play the piano! The rest I’ll have to figure out as I go along.”

Nick Cave introduces ‘Sojourn’ in DenverBy Sonya [email protected]
It’s colorful, whimsical, en-gaging, multi-sensory, mind-bending …. Internationally ac-claimed artist Nick Cave was in Denver to introduce his new ex-hibit, “Sojourn,” at the Denver Art Museum through Sept. 22.
It’s a major piece of the campus-wide “SPUN,” a multi-faceted look at textiles, tied in with the opening of new textile galleries on the sixth floor of the North Building.
The ebullient Cave led a walk through the exhibit on June 6, offering some insight on how he thinks to assemble an aston-ishing collection of sculptural works, which often start with a thrift store or flea market find. He continually visits these mar-kets around the world.
To the left of the entrance to the second-floor Anschutz Galleries is a screen showing dancers in Cave’s trademark bodysuits. The entry and first gallery are wallpapered in a bright red design, created with images of the colorful vin-tage ceramic birds that inhabit Cave’s world. An antique bap-tismal font is the basis for a sculptural piece, topped with a fantastic branching structure filled with birds, flowers and miscellany.
Next is a long, narrow gallery connected by a wall and canopy of button-covered screen — each button sewn on individu-ally, by hand. A platform runs the length of the gallery, carry-ing figures in white bodysuits — each different, most covered with buttons. The face on one is made from a burial wreath
found at a Paris flea market. “The button is a way of embel-lishment, a way of adorning the body,” Cave observed.
Craftsmanship is meticulous throughout the exhibit. Cave has about eight assistants who come with the needed skills to the studio in the loft building where he lives, and he contracts with fabricators in the Chicago area who understand his meth-ods and design sense. Materials include fabrics, metals, knick-knacks, wood, furniture pieces and much more. “The level of
commitment to quality is the way I feel the work has to be handled,” Cave said.
Next, viewers see a huge tonga, a round piece, called “Constellation,” created from black, sparkly bits of sweat-ers and other garments, sewn together and stretched on a frame. He was thinking of child-hood nights on the farm where he and his six brothers would lie on their backs looking at the starry sky.
A departure from the trade-mark Soundsuits — wearable
fabric sculptures — is a series he calls “Rescues.” It opens a “new vocabulary and another form of commitment.” It start-ed with finding a large white ceramic poodle — his assistant Bob Faust saw it — and then they found a regal plaster Do-berman. “We’ve got to find a gold sofa,” Cave decided, and tells of asking a shop owner if he could bring his dog in to try it out. That Doberman is in the show with an arched canopy in-cluding a chandelier, branches, flowers and more — as are five other dogs and a monkey — all rescued and in protective spac-es.
A series of four huge “paint-ings” appear together, also as-semblages of many objects and each backed by an afghan. “I was thinking about fashion, the opulence of life — just glam. Then the more mystical and magical …”
Another installation of multi-colored and textured Soundsuits on a platform led to his comment that “this is my playground.”
Each is distinctive and all can be worn. They “evolve in the studio from textiles sought out around the world.”
Finally, the viewer enters “Drive By,” a darkened room with videos of dancers in Soundsuits and images of his often-used crocheted doilies on the floor. (We observed delight-ed children trying to hop from one to another. This exhibit is a wonderful introduction to art for young ones.)

About 400 attend youth golf programArea athletes among those taking part in Hole-N-OneBy Tom [email protected]
About 30 young athletes from Engle-wood, Littleton, Centennial and other com-munities gathered at assigned stations June 17 for the first session of this summer’s Hole-N-One Youth Program at the Broken Tee at Englewood Golf Course.
The Hole-N-One program is designed to teach golf fundamentals in five, 0ne-hour group lessons for boys and girls ages 4 through 15. The lessons, taught by course personnel or golf professionals, are tailored to the skills and talent levels of each age group.
This is the program’s 14th year and this year more than 400 young golfers signed up.
Melia Gobble watched her daughters begin their lessons and she said her family has been involved in the program for sev-eral years.
“It is a great golf camp to introduce the kids to the fundamentals of the sport,” she said. “My husband and I golf and now, our 8-year-old, Peyden, can go golfing with us.”
She smiles and said Tatem had to try out to get into the program because she is only four years old.
“I like golf,” the four-year-old said. “I like it because it is fun. The thing I like the best is hitting the ball and hitting targets.”
Melia said she has seen her daughter’s golf skills improve, particularly Peyton’s.
“The Hole-N-One program has helped the girls get better at golf,” she said. “The in-structors have them work on basics like hit-ting the ball properly and they practice try-ing to hit a target with their golf shot. It also helps that they are listening to instruction from someone other than their parents.”
Centennial resident Alex Vahle, 13, went to his lesson station to practice chipping the ball onto the green.
“I like golf and I enjoyed watching the U.S. Open on television,” he said. “My 11-year-old brother is in the program, too. It doesn’t get competitive because he is in the program. Instead, I try to help him learn how to be a better golfer because this is the
first year he has been part of the Hole-N-One program.”
He said his dad plays golf and he is look-ing forward to improving his game so he can play golf with his father.
However, he added his brother and his uncle planned to go to the twilight course later this week. He said he thinks that will be fun.
A short distance away, Englewood 9-year-old Toby Grosso reported to his group lesson.
“This is a great program and that is why our family has been involved in the pro-
gram for several years,” his mother, Melisa Grosso, said. “We have three children in the program right now and I think Toby is the one who likes the lesson and the sport of golf the best.”
Toby agreed.“This is my fourth year in Hole-N-One,”
he said. “I like golf because you don’t have to do a lot of running. All you have to do is hit a golf ball and then go and find it. I want to get better because I want to play golf with my dad.”
Bob Spada, golf course manager, said the program is popular with the young athletes
and with their parents. He said the whole idea is to help young people learn the fun-damentals of the game of golf.
“We draw kids from Englewood and Sheridan but we also have kids from Lit-tleton, Centennial plus this year, about 50 of the kids are from Highlands Ranch and Castle Rock,” Spada said. “Some families really like the program. For example, we have families that used to live in Englewood and their son has been in our program for at least nine years. Both he and his young-er brother are back this year although the family has moved to Fort Collins.”

Young players display baseball skillsAbout 30 youngsters join Englewood’s local Rockies Baseball ChallengeBy Tom [email protected]
About 30 boys and girls gathered at Brent Mayne Baseball Fields June 14 for Engle-wood’s local Rockies Baseball Challenge competition.
Youngsters ages 6 through 13 showed how well they could throw for distance and accuracy, hit for distance and how fast they could run from second base to home plate
To make the competition as fair as pos-sible, the players were divided into four age groups, 6- and 7-year-olds, 8- and 9-year-olds, 10- and 11-year-olds and 12- and 13-year-olds.
There were separate competitions in each age group for boys and girls.
The young athletes seek to finish first in their age group in order to earn their way to the sectional competition July 20 at Brent Mayne Field where they will face first-place winners from Challenge competitions held at South Suburban, Foothills and Limon.
Those who place first in their age groups
at the July 20 event will advance to the statewide competition in August at All Star Park in Lakewood.
At the June 14 Englewood event, Lucas Calonder, 7, waited his turn to compete in the Rockies Challenge for the first time.
“I like baseball. I don’t know why, I just like baseball a lot,” Calonder said as he pre-pared to run the bases. “I throw OK but I like hitting the best. I think that is what I do best. This is fun and I like to see what I can do.”
Tyler Simpson sat in the shade to watch his two grandsons take part in the competi-tion.
“Both the boys like baseball and play in the Englewood league. They decided they wanted to try this competition this year so I agreed to bring them to the site,” Simpson said.
“It is fun to watch the kids do these chal-lenges. Some are obviously just having fun and others are really serious about this event. I think it is good that Englewood has this local competition so kids can see how they match up with other kids their age.”
The expression on Isaac Medrano’s face showed his concentration as he ran the 180 feet from second base to home plate as quickly as possible.
“Today was pretty easy and it was fun,” the boy said after completing the run. “I like
baseball and I’m on the Texas Rangers team in the Englewood Arapahoe League.”
The 11-year-old said he liked hitting the ball the best but figured he did pretty well on all three challenges.
When the results of each of the three skill challenges were computed, this year’s win-ners were:
BoysAges 6-7 — Lucas CalonderAges 8-9 — Ty JenningsAges 10-11 — Isaac MedranoAges 12-13 — Johnny MontoyaGirlsAges 8-9 — Ashlee UrrozAges 10-11 — Alyssa Nuanez

Used-bike program picks up speed Project ReCycle able to expand in new space By Deborah Grigsby [email protected]
As Alberto Stapleton walks across the fl oor of an empty warehouse, his tall, sturdy frame seems to disappear in the vast space.
“This is a long ways from the eight stor-age units we used to have to work out of in Littleton,” said Stapleton. He serves as ex-ecutive director of Project Recycle, a charity organization founded in 2008 that repairs donated bicycles and puts them in the hands of those less fortunate.
Stapleton said the space, donated by the private developer who owns the building, has added momentum and reach to the group’s mission.
“We were actually surprised when we pulled all the bikes out of storage and set them up,” he said. “We had no idea how many we had because they were all stuffed into these public storage units, but now, we see how much more we have to give.”
The group moved into the space at 13796
Compark Blvd. in unincorporated Douglas County in October. Stapleton said the extra breathing room has fostered the addition of nine new bicycle repair stations, and the creation of a new resale shop called The Kick Stand.
While Project Recycle accepts bike do-nations of all makes, models and condition, some are not always a good for kids or the average rider, according to Stapleton.
Higher-end bikes, such as those with specialized frames or those that may have a higher resale value, are sold, and the pro-ceeds go back into Project Recycle.
But Stapleton said the new space is just the beginning of bigger things to come.
“The bikes aren’t always just for kids,” he explained. “We have a lot of bikes for par-ents as well. Some need them to get to and from work or the bus; others often ride with their kids.”
Project Recycle, which has given away more than 3,000 bikes since its inception, is looking at expansions into Castle Rock, Colorado Springs and New Mexico.
Among Project ReCycle’s biggest needs right now is a pickup truck to pull a small covered trailer.
“We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us be-fore that happens,” Stapleton said. “But it’s worth it, when you see that smile on a kid’s
face. That’s what makes it all worthwhile.”For more information, visit Project Re-
Cycle online at www.projectrecycle.org.
