The owner of the Sitzman Well No. 8726-R is the Weld Count Airport Authority which does not want to share that well in the long term. At present the alternate well is not needed as the property is farmed by the same tenant that is farming the Airport Authority property. Pursuant to an agreement with the Weld Count Airport Authority the Sitzman Well No. 8726-R can be used to irrigate Applicant’s property in the same manner as historically done as long as both parties us the same tenant. Potable water service and sewer service is provided by the City of Greeley. The property has been annexed into the City of Greeley and zoned commercial and light industrial. During the diligence period Applicants purchased the interest of Landau, Inc., in the property and well for $100,000. Applicants have continued to prepare the property for development, but it has not been developed yet. Due to the expenditure of $100,000, Applicants do not presently have the funds to drill the well and do not need to drill it since they have the above described agreement. The well will be drilled as soon as the property is ready to be converted to commercial and light industrial use. 5. Claim for Diligence: Applicants seek a finding that they have been reasonably diligence in development of the conditional water right. (3 Pages)

The maximum amount of lawn on 51 lots will be 11,293 square feet; one lot (the “52nd lot”) will have a maximum amount of 22,586 square feet of lawn or the equivalent of two lots. Thus, the resulting total will be the equivalent of 53 lots each with a maximum of 11,293 square feet of lawn. Based on the modified Blanney-Criddle method for crop evapotranspiration and monthly climate data from the Denver weather station, dry year lawn grass consumptive use totals 2.34 acre feet per acre. The consumptive use for lawn irrigation on the 53 equivalent lots will be 32.15 acre-feet (2.34 acre feet per acre multiplied by 13.74 acres). (ii) An area of trees, with a maximum size of 10,890 square feet, in the common area of Box Elder Estates P.U.D. Irrigation of trees in the common area of Box Elder Estates P.U.D. The trees will be irrigated, and the consumptive use will not exceed .61 acre-feet annually. (iii) In-house use needs on the lots will be met through Denver Basin wells subject to a decree in Case No. 2000CW055. (b) Location: The wells will be used the above referenced lands located in portions of the NE ¼ and E ½ SE ¼ of Section 14, the SW ¼ SW ¼ of Section 13, the W ½ of Section 24, Township 1 South, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado as described in Exhibit A. (c) Previous Decrees for Wells to be Augmented: (i) A decree was entered in Water Court, Water Division No. 1, Case No. W-3663 on May 20, 1975 adjudicating Kraft Well No. 1-04043-F (replaced by Well Permit No. 048471-F), located in the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter, Section 14, Township 1 South, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado at a point 50 feet North and 1840 feet West of the Southeast corner of said Section 14 in the amount of 1.7 cfs with an appropriation date of April 11, 1963, adjudicating Kraft Well No. 2-12775 (replaced by Well Permit No. 048470-F), located in the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter, Section 14, Township 1 South, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado at a point 1300 feet North and 2140 feet West of the Southeast corner of said Section 14 in the amount of 0.77 cfs with an appropriation date of June 7, 1950, and adjudicating Kraft Well No. 3-3946-F (replaced by Well Permit No. 048469-F), located in the Northeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter, Section 14, Township 1 South, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado at a point 2200 feet North and 1200 feet West of the Southeast corner of said Section 14 in the amount of 1.13 cfs with an appropriation date of April 3, 1963. All wells were adjudicated for the irrigation of 160 acres in the Southeast Quarter of said Section 14. (ii) A decree was entered in Water Court, Water Division No. 1, Case No. 97CW127 on March 1, 2000 changing the use of Kraft Well No. 1-04043-F (048471-F), Kraft Well No. 2-12775 (048470-F) and Kraft Well No. 3-3946-F (048469-F) to golf course irrigation and aesthetics, recreation, wildlife, fire protection and irrigation of lawn grass of up to 111.71 acres in the Southeast Quarter of Section 14, the Southwest Quarter of Section 13 and the West One-half of Section 24, all in Township 1 South, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado. (3) Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation: Return flows resulting from the in-house use of nontributary and not nontributary groundwater from the Upper Arapahoe, Lower Arapahoe and the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers adjudicated in Case No. 2000CW055 on December 28, 2000 (“Denver Basin water”). The Denver Basin water available from each aquifer as determined in Case No. 2000CW055 is set forth in Table 1 below.

(4) Description of Plan for Augmentation. The Denver Basin water will be used to supply in-house water demands for a total of 95 developed lots in Box Elder Estates P.U.D. The calculation of the return flows to be used for augmentation of lawn watering for the 53 equivalent lots (51 lots plus one “double lot”) plus tree watering in the common area are contained in Table 2 below. (The lawn irrigation on 43 lots is already replaced pursuant to Case No. 97CW127.) The consumption to be replaced from the three alluvial wells to be augmented and identified in ¶2 is 32.15 acre-feet as set forth in paragraph 2.a.i and ii above. Augmentation water will be provided by the return flows from the in-house use of Denver Basin wells through septic leach field returns. As shown in Table 2 below, the available amount of annual return flows is 32.76 acre-feet. Because of the distance between the location of the alluvial wells and the South Platte River, the depletions will even out throughout the year, and will be replaced by the return flows from the Denver Basin wells placed into the alluvium at the same location as the three augmented wells.

6. OUTLINE OF EFFORTS TOWARD COMPLETION OF THE APPROPRIATION:

A. The conditional storage right decreed in Case No. 92-CW-022 was originally awarded to Jack

Rogers and Gwenne Rogers who operated a gravel pit in the NE¼, Sec. 1, T1S, Range 66 West of

Page 5: June, 2001 Resume - CO Courts · June, 2001 Resume -1- TO ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIVISION 1: Pursuant to CRS, 37-92-302, you are hereby notified that

the 6th P.M. and the SW¼ of the NW¼ of Sec. 6, T1S, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M. in Adams County.

B. On or about February 2000, Jack and Gwenne Rogers, who operated the business known as

Tucson Resources, Inc., conveyed the subject property along with the conditional storage decree in Case No. 92-CW-022 to CAMAS Colorado, Inc., an Indiana corporation which was subsequently merged into Aggregate Industries - WCR, Inc., a Colorado corporation, on or about September 28, 2000 Jack Rogers passed away. The total consideration for the entire transaction was approximately $5.0 million (including equipment).

C. When the property was conveyed to the Applicant, it was the subject of a condemnation

proceeding by a municipality which sought to acquire the excavated gravel mine and convert it to water storage. That case is styled City of Thornton v. CAMAS Colorado, Inc., an Indiana Corporation, as successor to Tucson Resources, LLC, a Colorado Limited Liability Company; Colorado Business Leasing, Inc.; Judith A. Kahle, as Public Trustee of Adams County, Colorado; Helen L. Hill, as Treasurer of Adams County, Colorado; and Any and All Persons Who May Claim an Interest in the Subject Matter of this Action, Case No. 99-CV-1197. The Applicant spent approximately $30,000 in attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses defending its interest in that property as well as the associated conditional decree.

D. The condemnation action was resolved by conveying to the City of Thornton an option to

purchase a lined storage facility in December 2000. Thornton must exercise its option on or before December 2002.E. The Applicant has filed Case No. 01-CW-009 which is currently pending in this Court, to one of the terms and conditions of the original Decree such that the construction standards for the sealed storage structure will comply with the current requirements issued by the State Engineer’s Office found in “State Engineer’s Guidelines for Lining Criteria for Gravel Pits” (August 1999). The approximate expense for that proceeding through the filing of this application is approximately $7,500.00.

F. The Rogers Reservoir is to be excavated within the confines of a slurry wall. On or about May

2000, the Applicant had entered into a contract for the construction of such a slurry wall at an approximate cost of $800,000.

G. On-site mining activities have been continuous since the Applicant acquired the property and it is

currently estimated that the excavation necessary for the Rogers Reservoir will be completed by December 2004.

done toward completion: McKeon Lower Pond has been available for the storage of water pursuant to its decree and on or around May 30, 1995 captured and stored water to the full amount of the decree, thereafter applying the water to the beneficial uses of fish propagation (rainbow trout stocked) and the watering of livestock. Applicant believes and asserts that this filling (5 acre feet) was done in priority, because of generally very wet conditions in the area as well as over the northeastern part of the state. At that time, repairs to the dam spillway were made at a cost of approximately $24,000. Further , in April 1999, the reservoir filled during the large storm event that then occurred, which applicant also asserts was done in priority. The volumes of water stored caused the reservoir’ dam to break, and thereafter, during this diligence period, repairs were made, having first has hydrologic analysis and plan for the reconstruction of the dam prepare by Ayres Engineering, Fort Collins, Colorado. The total cost of the engineering work and actual repair was approximately $21, 900, and work was completed on or about June, 2000. Applicant has held water in the reservoir for fire fighting purposes, and request that such use be also determined to be absolute.

The originally decreed point of diversion is a headgate located at or on the South side of Boulder Creek near the West section line of Section 16, Township 1 North, Range 69 West, 6th P.M., Boulder County, Colorado. The Lower Boulder Ditch diverts water from Boulder Creek by means of a dam, a water conveyance channel and headworks. The dam is located at a point approximately 1,300 feet North and 150 feet East of the Southwest Corner of Section 16, and operates to deflect normal stream flow into the water conveyance channel and toward the headworks of the Lower Boulder Ditch. The headworks are located at a point approximately 1,100 feet North and 600 feet East of the Southwest corner of Section 16. The headworks consist of a dam across the water conveyance channel, with control gates and an overflow section, and headgates at right angles to the flow in the channel which divert water into the main ditch. Any water not diverted through the headgates returns to Boulder Creek unused. C. Source: Boulder Creek and its tributaries. D. Appropriation Date: February 28, 1979. E. Amount: 25.0 cubic feet per second, CONDITIONAL. F. Historic Use: This is a conditional water right. The decreed use of the water is for municipal, domestic, commercial, industrial, recreational, piscatorial, irrigation, exchange, replacement, augmentation and all other beneficial purposes related to, occurring in or deriving from the operation of the City of Lafayette municipal utility system. When not needed for immediate use in the City of Lafayette utility system, water diverted under this right may be stored in the Henry Waneka Reservoir, located in Section 4, Township 1 South, Range 69 West, 6th P.M., Boulder County, or the Goose Haven Reservoir Complex, located in Sections 15 and 22, Township 1 North, Range 69 West, 6th P.M., Boulder County. 4.

Depth (if well): Not applicable. 4. Provide a detailed outline of what has been done toward completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures: During the diligence period, Centennial has continued to engage in efforts to obtain the reallocation of storage space in Chatfield Reservoir from flood control to multipurpose use, including municipal storage. Centennial has participated in reallocation discussions and activities with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“COE”), the Colorado Water Conservation Board (“CWCB”), the Colorado Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation, the Colorado Division of Wildlife, the State Engineer’s Office, the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (“Urban Drainage”), the Denver Water Board, and others as part of the Chatfield Reservoir Work Group. As a result of the efforts of the Chatfield Reservoir Work Group and others, the Legislature in 1997 authorized use of up to $300,000 from the CWCB construction fund to cooperate with the COE, Urban Drainage, interested local governments and other water users in a reconnaissance study for the potential reallocation of flood control storage space to municipal water supply storage in Chatfield Reservoir. In 1998, the Legislature authorized use of up to $500,000 from the CWCB construction fund to cooperate with the COE, Urban Drainage, interested local governments and other water users in a feasibility study for the potential reallocation of flood control storage space to municipal water supply storage in Chatfield Reservoir. Expenditure of these funds was contingent upon execution of a cost share agreement for funding and implementation of a formal feasibility study. The CWCB has executed a Feasibility Cost-Share Agreement with the COE and has placed Simons and Associates, Fort Collins, Colorado, under contract as the study contractor. The total cost of the feasibility study (referred to as the Chatfield Reservoir Reallocation Study) is $1,984,684. In 2000, the Legislature authorized the use of an additional $80,000 from the CWCB construction fund to continue development of the Chatfield Reservoir Reallocation Study by contracting with a consulting firm to complete a storage use pattern investigation and for

additional field surveys and topographic mapping of the South Platte River. The Chatfield Reservoir Reallocation Study is presently scheduled for completion by September 30, 2003. During the diligence period, Centennial representatives made at least 34 contacts as part of Centennial’s efforts related to reallocation of storage space in Chatfield Reservoir, including attending 26 meetings. During the diligence period, Centennial also participated in the Chatfield Work Group under the Metropolitan Water Supply Investigation. The Metropolitan Water Supply Investigation Final Report, dated January 1999, details the efforts of the Chatfield Work Group and includes a preliminary list of potential water supply-related uses for storage space in Chatfield Reservoir. During the diligence period, Centennial completed the adjudication of changes of water right for the subject Chatfield Reservoir water storage right, in Case No. 93CW082, District Court, Water Division No. 1. The decree in Case No. 93CW082 was entered on August 27, 1997. The decree approved the following changes of the Chatfield Reservoir water storage right: (1) An alternate place of storage in Centennial’s proposed South Platte Reservoir; (2) Alternate points of diversion at Chatfield Reservoir Outlet Manifold to Last Chance Ditch No. 2 and Nevada Ditch, South Platte Alluvial Well Field No. 1 and South Platte Alluvial Well Field No. 2; (3) An augmentation plan for replacement of delayed out-of-priority depletions resulting from diversions of the subject Chatfield Reservoir water storage right at South Platte Alluvial Well Field Nos. 1 and 2; and (4) An additional type of use of the subject Chatfield Reservoir water storage right for artificial recharge of the Denver Basin aquifers underlying Highlands Ranch. Since the date of the decree in Case No. 93CW082, Centennial has expended more than $12,000,000 in the development of South Platte Reservoir and related facilities, including the South Platte Pump Facility, the South Platte Pipeline, Last Chance Ditch, Nevada Ditch, and South Platte Alluvial Well Field No. 2. During the diligence period, Centennial also completed the adjudication of changes of other water rights intended to be used in conjunction with its Chatfield Reservoir water storage right. These include (1) changes of the plan for augmentation including substitutions and exchanges originally decreed in Case No. 85CW415, approved in Case No. 93CW178, District Court, Water Division No. 1, by decree entered on October 27, 1998, (2) changes of certain of the water rights originally decreed in Case No. 88CW222, approved in Case No. 93CW179, District Court, Water Division No. 1, by decree entered May 13, 1998, and (3) changes of Centennial’s Plum Creek Water Rights approved in Case No. 93CW177, District Court, Water Division No. 1, by decree entered July 30, 1996. The subject Chatfield Reservoir water storage right was adjudicated as part of the water supply for Centennial’s municipal water system, which currently supplies over 70,000 people and ultimately will supply 90,000 to 100,000 people. During the diligence period, Centennial has expended more than $46,500,000 on the continuing development of its municipal water system and water rights, including the development of facilities necessary to utilize water stored under the Chatfield Reservoir water storage right. These expenditures include expenditures associated with Centennial’s water treatment and wastewater treatment plants, water and wastewater pipelines, groundwater wells, groundwater treatment plant and Zone 1 and McLellan pump stations. During the diligence period, Centennial has continued to participate in the Chatfield Basin Authority, formed under authority of the Denver Regional Council of Governments. The Authority has initiated water quality related studies and is developing land management plans to protect the quality of inflows to Chatfield Reservoir. Centennial’s participation is for the purpose of protecting the quality of water diverted to its municipal system at Chatfield Reservoir, including water that will be stored in the future under its Chatfield Reservoir water storage right. During the diligence period, Centennial joined the Upper South Platte Watershed Protection Association. Centennial is in the Members class of the Association, with full voting rights and dues obligations. The Association was formed in 1998 with the purpose of maintaining or improving water quality and related resources within the South Platte watershed above Strontia Springs dam. Strontia Springs dam is upstream of Chatfield Reservoir. Centennial’s participation in the Association is for the purpose of protecting the quality of water diverted to Centennial’s municipal system at Chatfield Reservoir, including water that will be stored in the future under the Chatfield Reservoir water storage right. Centennial has participated in numerous Water Court cases to protect its Chatfield Reservoir water storage right from injury, including Case No. 96CW014, District Court, Water Division No. 1. Centennial has expended well over $200,000.00 in such cases during the diligence period; 5. If claim to make absolute - Water applied to beneficial use: Not applicable. WHEREFORE, Centennial requests the Court to enter a decree finding that Centennial has

The Seiber Well will be augmented on the same terms and conditions as specified for other wells described in the Case No. W-2692 Decree. However, the Fort Morgan Company reserves the right to propose alternative methodologies in this proceeding. The effects on the South Platte River resulting from withdrawals of water through the Seiber Well will be calculated by means of the stream depletion factor (SDF) concept developed by the U. S. Geological Survey (Jenkins) and by means of a digital computer program based upon the SDF method. The SDF values for the Seiber Well, which is part of this plan, were determined from the U.S. Geological Survey Publication entitled "Hydrogeologic Characteristics of the Valley Fill Aquifer in the Brush Reach of the South Platte River Valley, Colorado." For purposes of administration of the Seiber Well pursuant to the Case No. W-2692 Decree, the Seiber Well shall have a Stream Depletion Factor of 1,850 days. Well withdrawals for domestic use, watering of livestock, and dairy operations will be separately determined. For purposes of accounting for the water use, ten percent (10%) of water withdrawn for domestic uses will be fully consumed, one-hundred percent (100%) of water withdrawn for livestock watering will be fully consumed, and five percent (5%) of water withdrawn for dairy operations will be fully consumed. The water applied for irrigation purposes will be determined by metering or by the procedures set forth in the Case No. W-2692 Decree, and the depletions to the South Platte River will be determined pursuant to the procedures of the Case No. W-2692 Decree. 9.

Willow Springs Estates subdivision, El Paso County, Colorado (the "Property"). The Property is located in the Cherry Creek drainage in the NW1/4 Section 15, T. 11 S., R. 65 W., 6th P.M. A map of the Property is attached as Figure 1. Applicant waives the 600 foot spacing requirement for all Dawson aquifer wells constructed on the Property. 4. Source: Not nontributary Dawson aquifer; nontributary Denver aquifer; nontributary Arapahoe aquifer; nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer.

5.A. Date of appropriation: Not applicable. 5.B. How appropriation was initiated: Not applicable. 5.C. Date water applied to beneficial use: Not applicable. 6. Amount claimed: Dawson aquifer: 15 g.p.m. per well, 24.1 acre feet annually, absolute;

Denver aquifer: 50 g.p.m. per well, 17.3 acre feet annually, absolute; Arapahoe aquifer: 250 g.p.m. per well, 11.8 acre feet annually, absolute; Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer: 150 g.p.m. per well, 7.3 acre feet annually, absolute. The above amounts will be changed in any decree entered herein to conform to the State Engineer’s Determination of Facts. The water court will be asked to retain jurisdiction over such decree to enter a final determination of the amount of water available for appropriation from each aquifer based on geophysical logs for such wells.

7. Proposed use: All beneficial uses including augmentation and exchange. 8. Name and address of owner of land on which well is located: Same as applicant. 9. Remarks: Home Side Lending has a lien against the Property; Applicant has given

notice to Home Side Lending pursuant to the notice provisions of C. R.S. §37-90-137(4)(b.5). II. APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION

10. Name, address, telephone number of applicant: Ronald E. Toops, 18355 Table Rock Road, Colorado Springs, CO 80908. Phone number: 719-495-4520.

11. Name of structures to be augmented: Up to four Dawson aquifer wells. No other water rights are or will be diverted from these wells.

12. Previous decrees for water rights to be used for augmentation: None. 13. Historic use: Not applicable.

14. Statement of plan for augmentation: Applicant wishes to provide for the augmentation of stream depletions caused by pumping Dawson aquifer wells on as many as four residential lots. Water use criteria for each lot are as follows: indoor uses: 0.27 acre feet annually per single family dwelling which is 10% consumptive.- horses (or horse equivalent): 0.01 1 acre feet annually (1 0 gallons per day) per head, 100% consumptive-, landscape irrigation: 0.046 acre feet annually per 1,000 square feet (2.0 acre feet per acre) per year, 85% consumptive. Consumption attributable to indoor uses is predicated on the use of nonevaporative individual sewage disposal systems ("ISDS"), which shall be required for each lot. Change to any other type of waste water disposal shall require an amendment to the plan for augmentation. Replacements during pumping. Based upon computer modeling, depletions to the South Platte and Arkansas basins combined are expected to gradually increase to a maximum of 15.65% of pumping annually in the 300th year. Each lot shall be limited to pumping of 1.5 acre feet annually, which would result in annual stream depletions, in the 300th year, of 0.23 acre feet per lot. Return flows from a single ISDS will equal 0.24 acre feet annually. Thus, even if all water uses on the Property, other than household uses, are fully consumptive, return flows from ISDS alone are adequate to replace stream depletions during pumping. The only restrictions necessary to ensure that replacements equal or exceed stream depletions are (1) limitation to annual pumping of 1.5 acre feet per well (6.0 acre feet total), and use of ISDS or some other form of wastewater treatment which is no more consumptive. Replacements after pumping. Stream depletions will reach a maximum of 15.75% of average annual pumping when pumping ceases, theoretically in the 300th year, and will decline thereafter. Applicant shall replace injurious post-pumping depletions with the nontributary Denver and Arapahoe aquifer decreed herein, 2410 acre feet of which will be reserved for that purpose. However, Applicant seeks to reserve the right to replace such depletions with any judicially acceptable source of augmentation water upon application and notice as required by law. Applicant further proposes to aggregate all depletions and replace them to the South Platte River drainage in the unnamed tributary of Cherry Creek which flows through the Property. Any final decree entered in this case shall provide that no more than 1.5 acre feet per year may be diverted from each Dawson aquifer well (6.0 acre feet total) absent an amendment to this plan for augmentation. Because depletions will occur in both Water Division 1 and 2, this application is being published in the resume for both water divisions. (3 pages; Map 1 page)

9. Remarks: Provident Funding Associates, L.P. has a lien against the Property; Applicants have given notice to Provident Funding Associates, L.P. pursuant to the notice provisions of C.R.S. §37-90-137(4)(b.5). II. APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION 10. Name, address, telephone number of applicant: Robert M. Broussard and Sandra S. Broussard, 11060 Vollmer Road, Colorado Springs, CO 80908. Phone: 719-495-2786. 11. Name of structures to be augmented: The existing Dawson aquifer well. No other water rights are or will be diverted from this well.

12. Previous decrees for water rights to be used for augmentation: None. 13. Historic use: Not applicable.

14. Statement of plan for augmentation: Applicant wishes to provide for the augmentation of stream depletions caused by pumping the existing Dawson aquifer well, which is permitted for household uses only. Water use criteria for the Property are as follows: indoor uses: 0.27 acre feet annually per single family dwelling, which is 10% consumptive; horses (or horse equivalent): 0.011 acre feet annually (10 gallons per day) per head, 100% consumptive; landscape irrigation: 0.046 acre feet annually per 1,000 square feet (2.0 acre feet per acre) per year, 85% consumptive. Consumption attributable to indoor uses is predicated on the use of nonevaporative Individual Sewage Disposal Systems (“ISDS”), which shall be required. Change to any other type of waste water disposal shall require an amendment to the plan for augmentation. Replacements during pumping. Based upon computer modeling, depletions to the South Platte and Arkansas basins combined are expected to gradually increase to a maximum of 6.47% of pumping annually in the 100th year. Pumping from the Dawson aquifer well shall be limited to pumping of 2.0 acre feet annually, which would result in annual stream depletions, in the 100th year, of 0.13 acre feet. Return flows from a single ISDS will equal 0.24 acre feet annually. Thus, even if all water uses on the Property other than household uses are fully consumptive, return flows from the ISDS alone are adequate to replace stream depletions during pumping. The only restrictions necessary to ensure that replacements equal or exceed stream depletions during pumping are (1) limitation to annual pumping of 2.0 acre feet from the existing Dawson aquifer well, and (2) use of ISDS or some other form of wastewater treatment which is no more consumptive. Replacements after pumping. Stream depletions will reach a maximum of 6.47% of average annual pumping at the time pumping ceases, theoretically in the 100th year, and will decline thereafter. Applicants shall replace injurious post-pumping depletions with the nontributary Denver and Arapahoe aquifer water decreed herein, 460 acre feet of which will be reserved for that purpose. However, Applicant seeks to

reserve the right to replace such depletions with any judicially acceptable source of augmentation water upon application and notice as required by law. Applicant further proposes to aggregate all depletions and replace them to the South Platte River drainage in the unnamed tributary of Cherry Creek. Any final decree entered in this case shall provide that no more than 2.0 acre feet per year may be diverted from the existing Dawson aquifer well absent an amendment to this plan for augmentation. Upon entry of a decree in this case, Applicants shall apply for a new well permit for the existing Dawson aquifer well, consistent with the terms of the plan for augmentation and applicable statutes and rules and regulations of the State Engineer. Because depletions will occur in both Water Divisions 1 and 2, this application will appear in the resumes for both water divisions. (3 pages; Map-1 page)

Box 18903, Boulder, Colorado 80308, (303) 442-2555). Joint Application for Sexennial Finding of Reasonable Diligence. 2. Name of Structures: Woodside Reservoir. 3. Description of conditional water right: A. Date of Original Decree: December 7, 1978, Case No. W-8771-71, Water Court, Division 1, State of Colorado. B. Location: Woodside Reservoir will be located in the E1/2 SW1/4, of Section 26, Township 6 South, Range 72 West, 6th P.M., Park County, Colorado, on Lots 132 and 133 of Unit 5 of the Woodside Park Subdivision. The outlet of the Reservoir will be located at a point approximately 1,400 feet from the South section line and 2,400 feet from the West section line of said Section 26. C. Source: Elk Creek and an unnamed tributary to Elk Creek. D. Appropriation Date: September 1, 1977 for 50.0 acre feet of water E. Use: Domestic, municipal, irrigation, recreational, light industrial, piscatorial, fire fighting, exchange, commercial and all other beneficial uses. 4. Detailed outline of what has been done toward completion of the appropriation and application to a beneficial use. A. Will-O-Wisp operates an integrated Water Supply System under § 37-92-301(4)(b), C.R.S., including the contractual right to use Woodside Reservoir. During the diligence period, Will-O-Wisp has continued the development of its Water Supply System. Activities have included contracting to acquire fee ownership of the Woodside Reservoir conditional water right and reservoir site, continued study and work on the Glasman Ditch No. 2, ongoing operation of the Water Supply System and analysis of increased water supply opportunities. Prior to the diligence period, the District filed for bankruptcy protection. Although the District has emerged from bankruptcy during the diligence period, its ability to spend funds for development of its water supply system remains subject to constraints resulting from the resolution of the bankruptcy proceedings. These constraints have existed during the diligence period and therefore Will-O-Wisp’s diligence activities have been constrained due to the financial difficulties experienced by the District. B. During the diligence period, North Fork Associates, LLC and the Will-O-Wisp District have negotiated concerning conveyance of the Woodside Reservoir conditional water right to the District. Costs have been incurred by both North Fork Associates, LLC and the Will-O-Wisp District in this regard during the diligence period. C. During the diligence period, Will-O-Wisp conducted studies regarding water availability and feasibility regarding Woodside Reservoir. These efforts have included a review of prior engineering reports, core sampling and water availability studies. In addition, Will-O-Wisp has updated flow calculations on Elk Creek for incorporation into the District’s planning process and for use at the Woodside Reservoir site and investigated alternate places of storage for the conditional water right. The District has incurred both legal and engineering expenses during the diligence period in connection with these activities. D. During the diligence period, the District has evaluated prior headgate and diversion structure designs associated with both the Glasman Ditch No. 2 and Woodside Reservoir and has conducted initial engineering updates on said designs. Costs associated with this effort have been incurred by the District during the diligence period. E. By a previous agreement with North Fork Associates, Woodside Reservoir will serve as a forebay for surface water diversions from Elk Creek to the Will-O-Wisp District’s municipal water supply. During the diligence period, Will-O-Wisp has obtained initial estimates of a pump station and pipeline costs and parameters to convey the water from Woodside Reservoir and the Glasman Ditch No. 2 to the District. These engineering studies are ongoing. Costs associated with this activity have been incurred during the diligence period. F. During the diligence period, North Fork Associates, the current owner of Woodside Reservoir, has conducted various environmental investigations, in part, to permit the development of the decreed conditional water right of Woodside Reservoir. Costs associated with these efforts were incurred during the diligence period. G. During the diligence period, the District has initiated easement and permitting activities associated with the construction of the pipeline from the Glasman Ditch No. 2 and Woodside Reservoir site to the District. A pump station and pipe line is necessary to convey water stored at Woodside Reservoir to the District. Costs associated with these activities have been incurred during the diligence period. 5.

99CW230 CITY OF LOUISVILLE, c/o Tom Phare, Director of Public Works, 749 Main Street, Louisville, CO 80027. (Michael D. Shimmin, VRANESH & RAISCH, LLP, 1720 - 14th Street, #200, Boulder, CO 80302). Amendment to Application for Change of Water Rights, IN BOULDER COUNTY. The original application in this matter was filed on December 30, 1999 (“Original Application”) for the purpose of adjudicating changes of water rights in three ditches: the Howard Ditch; the Dry Creek No. 2 Ditch; and the Cottonwood No. 2 Ditch. This amendment applies only to the Cottonwood No. 2 Ditch (headgate located in) N1/2N1/2, S2, T1S, R70W, 6th P.M. as there are no changes to the Original Application regarding the Howard and Dry Creek No. 2 Ditches. Subsequent to the filing of the Original Application, Applicant’s consultants refined their analysis of historic use of the 1.0 share of Cottonwood No. 2 Ditch stock. This analysis disclosed that historic diversions and historic consumptive use attributable to this share were slightly higher than the values shown in the Original Application. Accordingly, Applicant seeks to amend the Original Application so as to reflect the somewhat higher numbers for these two values. In particular, Applicant seeks to amend the following items of the Original Application: 1. A portion of Paragraph 3.C. of the Original Application shall be amended to read as follows: By virtue of its ownership of this 1.0 additional share, Louisville is entitled to a pro rata portion of the decreed direct flow right in the amount of 1.685 cfs and a maximum of 52.5 acre feet per year of historic consumptive use. This is an increase from a maximum of 49.7 acre feet per year of historic consumptive use, as claimed in the Original Application. 2. Additionally, Exhibit E attached to the original Application was a summary of historic Cottonwood No. 2 Ditch diversions. The original Exhibit E displayed a total for maximum diversions of 598 acre feet. Applicant’s consultants discovered a computational error in that number. The correct number should be 602 acre feet. A revised and Amended Exhibit E is attached and incorporated to this Amended Application. All other items in the original Application shall remain as published in the December, 1999 resume and all Statements of opposition previously filed in this case shall apply to the Amended Application without the need for further filing.

Denver aquifer 50 gpm 22 feet Upper Arapahoe aquifer 100 gpm 265 feet Lower Arapahoe aquifer 300 gpm 590 feet

Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer 400 gpm 1201 feet Actual pumping rates may vary according to system design and water supply demands.

B. Estimated Average Annual Amounts Available

The estimated average annual amount of withdrawal available from the subject aquifers as indicated below, is based upon the Denver Basin Rules, 2 C.C.R. 402-6. Applicant estimates the following values and average annual amounts are representative of the referenced aquifers underlying the subject property which is an area of 350 acres. Annual Average Sand Specific Withdrawal Aquifer Thickness Yield (%) (Acre Feet) Upper Dawson - feet .20 - Lower Dawson - feet .20 - Denver 20 feet .17 0.03 Upper Arapahoe 33.9 feet .17 0.06 Lower Arapahoe 102 feet .17 0.17 Laramie-Fox Hills 152 feet .15 0.23 C. The average annual amount available for withdrawal from the subject aquifers will depend upon the

hydrogeology and the legal entitlement of Applicant to all groundwater in those aquifers underlying the described property.

D. The use of not nontributary water from the Denver aquifer shall be subject to judicial approval of an

augmentation plan which will be applied for at such time as a well or wells are proposed to be permitted.

5. Well Fields

Applicant requests that this Court determine that Applicant has the right to withdraw all of the legally available ground water in the subject aquifers lying below the land described in paragraph 9 below, through the wells described in paragraph 2 above and any additional wells which may in the future become part of the Applicant’s well fields. Applicant requests that these wells, along with any additional wells completed into the same aquifer, shall be treated as a well field. Applicant further requests that the pumping rates for each of these wells may exceed the nominal pumping rates set forth above to the extent necessary to withdraw the full annual acre-foot allocation of water from the aquifer. However, the subject wells will not exceed the pumping rate specified on the well permit for each well.

6. Proposed Use

All water withdrawn will be reused, successively used, leased, sold or otherwise disposed of for the following beneficial uses: municipal, domestic, industrial, commercial, irrigation, augmentation, stock watering, recreational, fish and wildlife. The water will be produced for immediate application to said uses, for storage
