Detailed outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures: On December 30, 2010, the Applicants purchased approximately 1,100 acres from Watersedge Properties consisting of eight lots of the Eleventh Hour Ranch Subdivision and an additional 400 acres known as the Roger's Unit from Watersedge previously owned by John Roberta Norman (the "Normans"). In Case No. 98CW320, the Normans were awarded four conditional water rights, Georgia’s Spring Pond, John III’s Spring Pond, Bobbi’s Spring Pond and Maxine’s Pond for the irrigation of 70 acres of hayfields, piscatorial, stockwatering and fire protection uses on the Rogers Unit (collectively, the "Conditional Water Rights"). During this diligence period, the Conditional Water Rights were actively marketed as an integral part of the current and future operation of the Roger's Unit. The Applicants purchased the Roger's Unit, in part, due to marketed conditional water rights and their use in the operation of the Rogers Unit. Applicants' predecessor in

Page 8: DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO ......DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO NOVEMBER 2012 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS

interest constructed dams for all four of the Conditional Water Rights. Both the Georgia’s Spring Pond and John III’s Spring Pond dams, however, do not currently hold water as water seeps through the pond bottom. The dams for both of these ponds need additional work and need to be lined. Bobbi’s Spring Pond and Maxine's Pond have impounded water in priority and have been used for livestock purposes. In addition to the construction of the dams and the impoundment of water described above, the Applicants have performed significant work towards improving the ability to raise cattle and horses and increase the carrying capacity of the Roger's Unit. As the Conditional Water Rights are part of the Applicants' integrated water supply system, work performed on behalf of one component of this integrated system constitutes diligence on behalf of all structures part of this integrated system. During this diligence period, the Rogers have entered into a grazing lease on the Rogers Unit. The lessor has run approximately 50 animal units on the Rogers Unit from late April to early November each year. In addition, the Applicants have acquired ten head of registered Black Angus cows for the Rogers Unit. As part of its cattle operation on the Roger's Unit, the Applicants have acquired feeder panels, fencing material, stock panels, a squeeze schute, pipe for building cattle pens, and have spent significant time and labor on rebuilding, repairing, and restoring the existing corrals, pens, barns and watering tanks for livestock on the Roger's Unit. The Applicants have also acquired several pieces of equipment as part of its operation of the Roger's Unit during this diligence period, including a Ford tractor with blade and shredder, a D-4 size John Deere bulldozer, a large Caterpillar Track Hoe, a Dodge dump truck and a 530 Series John Deere Tractor. During this diligence period, the have expended over $45,000.00 on materials and labor and $87,000.00 on equipment related to their operation of the Rogers Unit. The Applicants have, therefore, devoted substantial efforts towards the development of the Conditional Water Rights, and the present and future application of water from the Georgia's Spring Pond, John III's Spring Pond, Bobbi's Spring Pond, and Maxine's Pond to beneficial use.

(4 pages). 12CW257 East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District, acting by and through the East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District Water Activity Enterprise, Inc. (“ECCV”), 6201 S. Gun Club Road, Aurora, CO 80016 (c/o William B. Tourtillott, Esq., Brian M. Nazarenus, Esq., Sheela S. Stack, Esq., Susan M. Ryan, Esq., RYLEY CARLOCK & APPLEWHITE, 1700 Lincoln Street, Suite 3500, Denver, Colorado 80203, Telephone: 303-863-7500, Attorneys for ECCV), APPLICATION FOR DETERMINATION OF WATER RIGHTS, IN ADAMS, ARAPAHOE, DENVER, DOUGLAS, ELBERT, JEFFERSON, MORGAN, AND WELD COUNTIES, 2. Introduction. ECCV has developed an integrated system for the diversion, accretion, collection, storage, transmission, and treatment of its water rights. The integrated system, which is also referred to as the Water Supply Project or the Northern Project, is designed to provide ECCV with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supply for its service area located in Arapahoe County, Colorado. A map of ECCV’s service area is attached as Exhibit 1. According to ECCV’s Water Conservation Plan, at full build out which is expected to occur in twenty years, ECCV will require approximately 12,000 to 14,000 acre-feet of water. The Water Court has previously decreed various components of the Water Supply Project. In Case No. 02CW403, the Water Court approved a plan for augmentation (“ECCV Augmentation Plan”) for ECCV’s Upper Beebe Draw wellfield (“ECCV Well Field”), as described in paragraph 15.1 of that decree. The ECCV Augmentation Plan allowed for the addition of wells to the augmentation plan and for the use of additional sources of substitute supply to replace the out-of-priority depletions resulting from pumping the ECCV Well Field. Case No. 02CW403 also decreed a change in use for ECCV’s shares in the Burlington Ditch Reservoir and Land Company (the “Burlington-Barr Shares”) and ECCV’s shares in the Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company (the “FRICO-Barr Shares”). The decree in Case No. 02CW403 excluded Barr Lake toe drain seepage from the quantification of the historical consumptive use associated with ECCV’s shares. In Case Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442, the Court approved the addition of six (6) wells to the ECCV Well Field, additional sources of replacement water to the ECCV Augmentation Plan approved in Case No. 02CW403, and a recharge project in the Beebe Draw (the “Beebe Draw Recharge Project”). The Water Court also approved a plan for augmentation to replace the out-of-priority depletions created by the pumping of wells located on 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch Augmentation Plan”) and a recharge project on 70 Ranch (“70 Ranch Recharge Project”). By this application, ECCV seeks a determination of: 1) its pro rata portion of seepage attributable to ECCV’s fully consumable water stored in Barr Lake that is discharged to the Beebe Canal through the Barr Lake toe drains and interceptor ditch; and 2) the amount of ground water seepage into the Beebe Draw aquifer that is attributable to ECCV’s fully consumable water stored in Barr Lake. ECCV seeks to use its pro rata portion of these reusable water supplies as a source of substitute supply for the ECCV Augmentation Plan decreed in Case No. 02CW403. ECCV also seeks a determination that it can replace the historical return flow obligations for its Burlington-Barr and FRICO-Barr shares that were changed in Case No. 02CW403 with recharge accretions from its reusable water supplies in the Beebe Draw aquifer, using the Unit Response Functions (“URFs”) decreed in Case Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442. 3. Description of Barr

Page 10: DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO ......DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO NOVEMBER 2012 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS

Lake. 3.1. Barr Lake. Barr Lake is an off-channel reservoir located in Sections 15, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 28, and 33, Township 1 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado. Barr Lake is an enlargement of the original Oasis Reservoir. ECCV is a shareholder in the Burlington Barr Lake Division of FRICO and the Barr Lake Division of FRICO, and has the right to store water in Barr Lake. ECCV also has the ability to store water in Barr Lake on a “space available” basis subject to and in compliance with its agreements with FRICO, and any subsequent agreements they may enter. 3.1.1. Location of Dam. At a point at the center of Section 23, Township 1 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado. 3.1.2. Surface Area. 1,900 acres at high water line. 3.1.3. Storage Height. 34 feet. 3.1.4. Capacity. 30,057 acre-feet, dead storage is less than 300 acre-feet. 3.2. Barr Lake Toe Drains. FRICO constructed a toe drain system into the Barr Lake dam to drain the seepage in and through the dam, and an interceptor ditch to collect underflow surfacing from beneath the structure. The water in the toe drain system is measured by a gage on the collection trench fed by the toe drain and then released into the Beebe Canal. Flows in the interceptor ditch are measured at the head of the Beebe Seep Canal. 4. Sources of ECCV’s Fully Consumable Water Stored in Barr Lake. 4.1. The 70 Ranch Water Rights decreed in Case Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442; 4.2. ECCV’s FRICO-Barr and Burlington-Barr shares decreed in Case No. 02CW403; 4.3. FRICO’s Multi-Purpose Water Right decreed in Case No. 02CW403 (limited to the extent of ECCV’s pro rata ownership of FRICO shares, or as otherwise allocated by and between FRICO shareholders); 4.4. The fully consumable portion of all water rights claimed in ECCV’s pending applications in Case Nos. 06CW40, 11CW151/ 05CW58, 11CW280, 11CW285, and 12CW73; and 4.5. The fully consumable portion of ECCV’s currently owned but unchanged water sources and future acquired water sources, which include but may not be limited to shares in the New Cache la Poudre Irrigating Company, the Cache la Poudre Reservoir Company, and the Ogilvy Irrigation and Land Company. Once the currently owned and future acquired water sources are changed ECCV will follow the procedures in paragraph 19 of the decree in Case No. 02CW403 and paragraphs 25 and 58.5 of the decree entered in Case Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 to add those rights as additional sources of replacement supply. 5. Determination of the Claimed Seepage from Barr Lake. 5.1. Toe Drain and Interceptor Ditch Seepage. ECCV seeks a determination of its pro rata portion of seepage attributable to ECCV’s fully consumable water stored in Barr Lake that is discharged to the Beebe Canal through the Barr Lake toe drains and interceptor ditch. The precise amount of this seepage varies based upon the total amount of water in Barr Lake, the amount in ECCV’s Barr Lake accounts, and other variables such as evaporation and precipitation. Accordingly, as part of determining ECCV’s pro rata seepage, ECCV will seek to adjudicate a methodology that will account for the variables and enable the calculation of ECCV’s pro rata seepage. 5.2. Ground Water Seepage. ECCV seeks a determination of the amount of ground water seepage into the Beebe Draw aquifer that is attributable to ECCV’s fully consumable water stored in Barr Lake and the adjudication of a methodology to evaluate the calculation of such water. ECCV is not claiming seepage on water stored in Barr Lake that is allocated for ditch loss replacement or historic return flow obligations. ECCV is in the process of gathering data from monitoring wells in and around Barr Lake. The data from the monitoring wells will be used to determine the amount of underground seepage from Barr Lake. 6. Determination of the Use of Recharge Accretions in the Beebe Draw to Replace Historical Return Flow Obligations. ECCV seeks a determination that it can replace the historical return flow obligations for its changed Burlington-Barr and FRICO-Barr shares with recharge accretions from its reusable supplies in the Beebe Draw aquifer. ECCV’s water rights, as described in paragraph 4, have been and/or will be decreed for use as a replacement source of supply, which includes the replacement of historical return flow obligations. ECCV will use the URFs decreed in Case Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 to determine the timing and amount of the recharge accretions in the Beebe Draw in order to replace the historical return flows from the Burlington-Barr and FRICO-Barr shares in timing, location, and amount. 7. Owners of Land upon which Structures are Located. The Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company (“FRICO”), 80 South 27th Avenue, Brighton, Colorado 80601, is the fee owner of Barr Lake and the Burlington Ditch. The United Diversion Facility No. 3 and the land at the point of diversion for United Reservoir No. 3 are owned by United Water and Sanitation District

Application for Change of Water Right (5 shares) A. Change 5 shares of Consolidated Hillsborough Ditch out of 118 outstanding shares. a. Previous Decree. District Court CA 8426. The headgate of the Consolidated Hillsborough Ditch is located in SE1/4 NW1/4 of Section 21, T5N, R68W of the 6th P.M. Weld County, Colorado, on the Big Thompson River. The Ditch has the following absolute water rights which are decreed for irrigation purposes:

Adjudication Date Appropriation Date Amount Pro-rata 5 sh. (c.f.s.) (c.f.s.) 5/28/1883 11/10/1861 63.31 2.44 5/28/1883 10/15/1874 8.25 0.00 5/28/1883 4/15/1878 54.00 2.29 5/28/1883 10/6/1881 45.69 1.94

B. Historical Use a. The 5 shares were historically used to irrigate lands in the north 1/2 of Section 9, 4N, 67W. All irrigated lands were flood irrigated with the sole source of water being the 5 shares of Consolidated Hillsborough Ditch. The irrigated acres are owned by Colorado Sweet Gold, LLC. b. Return flows historically accrued to the Little Thompson River along the entire south boundary of the CSG property 1 mile upstream of a point 2,600 feet south of the north line and 0 feet west of the east line of Section 9.C. Consumptive Use: Case No. W7667-74 decreed the average consumptive use of the applicant’s 5 shares to be 252.3 acre-feet.D. Proposed Change: Applicant proposes to change the 5 shares to industrial, well construction, commercial, recreational, municipal, storage, augmentation and replacement. The 5 shares of Consolidated Hillsborough Ditch will be delivered to the CSG property into the three existing storage ponds or for direct measurement and delivery to the Little Thompson River for the maintenance of return flows attributed to the 5 shares. The 5 shares that are stored will be pumped from the ponds into tanker trucks for sale off-site with all uses. In addition, the 5 shares that are stored may be measured and released to the Little Thompson River for the maintenance of return flows and replacement of out-of-priority diversions. The junior water right that is stored will be pumped from the ponds into tanker trucks for sale off-site Applicant proposes 1) limit the deliveries for the 5 shares to the CSG property to 538 acre-feet on a 30 year rolling average, 2) limit the monthly volumetric delivery (in acre-feet) to the CSG property for the 5 shares to: March – 5.40, April – 33.17, May – 117.29, June – 181.90, July – 212.57, August – 122.55, September – 98.15, October – 54.26, 3) limit the diversion season for the 5 shares to March 1 – October 31, 4) limit the annual maximum delivery for the 5 shares to the CSG property to 657.84 acre-feet, 5) limit delivery of the 5 shares to the CSG property via the Consolidated Hillsborough Ditch (insuring ditch loss remains in the ditch). Surface and groundwater returns will be maintained for all calls senior to the date of the filing of this application. E. Location of

Page 13: DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO ......DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO NOVEMBER 2012 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS

Augmentation Structures: a. The West Flume measures water delivered from the CHD that is released directly to the Little Thompson to meet CSG’s return-flow obligations during the irrigation season. It would be more natural to refer to the outfall to the river as the “West Return-Flow Outfall,” or simply as the “West Outfall,” than as the “West Augmentation Outfall.” If the current application were intended to allow for the potential sale of fully consumable water to other parties by discharging it to Little Thompson River to replace depletions elsewhere on the Little or Big Thompson Rivers or on the South Platte River, then it would make more sense to refer to an “Augmentation Outfall,” (or the more common term: “Augmentation Station”) as the point where such water is measured and discharged. But the only means of selling and delivering consumptive-use water contemplated in this Application is by delivery to tanker trucks at the load-out stations. b. The East Flume measures water delivered from the CHD to the ponds for storage. The water measured at the East Flume does not go directly to the “East Outfall,” which probably refers to the measuring and recording device known as the V-Notch Weir. A portion of water measured by the East Flume will eventually be released to the Little Thompson River to meet CSG’s return-flow obligations during the non-irrigation season. Another portion of water measured by the East Flume will be lost to evaporation, and a third portion will be delivered to customers at the load-out stations. None of these differences between the East and West flumes could be guessed from the description in Paragraph 3.E, however, and the use of the term “Augmentation Outfall” is apt to create further confusion about the planned operations and the roles of specific structures. It is common for an application to include a simple vicinity map, which might show the Big and Little Thompson Rivers, the Consolidated Hillsborough Ditch with its river headgate, CSG’s farm headgate, and section lines, and also a more detailed location map which might show CSG’s property boundaries, the ponds and the layout of the structures mentioned in paragraph 3.E.4. Conditional Water Rights A. The junior water right will be delivered to the CSG property from the Consolidated Hillsborough Ditch into the three existing storage ponds or for direct measurement and delivery to the Little Thompson River for the maintenance of return flows attributed to the 5 shares of Consolidated Hillsborough Ditch changed herein. B. Five (5) c.f.s. diverted at the Consolidated Hillsborough Ditch River Headgate. a.

Petrock, Petrock & Fendel, 700 17th Street, #1800, Denver, CO 80202), APPLICATION FOR FINDING OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE AND TO MAKE CONDITIONAL WATER RIGHT ABSOLUTE, JEFFERSON COUNTY. 2. Decree Information: Decreed on January 27, 1999, in Case No. 97CW264, District Court, Water Division 1. A finding of reasonable diligence for the conditional water rights was decreed in Case No. 05CW89 and 0.6 acre-feet of the conditional water right associated with the Gilmore Pond was made absolute in Case No. 10CW241 for recreation and fish and wildlife. Name of structures: Gilmore Well and Gilmore Pond. Source of water: An unnamed tributary of Beaver Brook, a tributary of Clear Creek. Date of appropriation: September 30, 1997. Amount of water claimed: Gilmore well: 15 gpm (conditional) and Gilmore Pond: 0.6 acre-feet per year and refill (conditional). Locations (Shown on Attachment A): Gilmore Well: Located in the NE1/4 NW1/4 of Section 16, T4S, R71W of the 6th P.M., at a point approximately 1980 feet from the west and 500 feet from the north section line of Section 16. Gilmore Pond: Located in the NE1/4 NW1/4 of Section 16, T4S, R71W of the 6th P.M., at a point approximately 1600 feet from the west and 450 feet from the north section line of Section 16. The pond is filled through a pipeline on the stream located approximately 1850 feet from the west and 260 feet from the north section line of Section 16. Uses: Gilmore Well: Domestic, stockwatering, irrigation of 5000 square-feet of lawn and garden. Gilmore Pond: Recreation, wildlife and fish propagation, and replacement and augmentation. Request to Make Conditional Water Rights Absolute. A. The Gilmore Well was pumped in priority between May 24 and June 25, 2010, at a rate of flow of 10 gpm for domestic, stockwatering, and irrigation of 5000 square-feet of area. Therefore, Applicants request that the conditional water right for the Gilmore Well be made absolute for a rate of flow of 10 gpm. The remaining conditional rate of flow of 5 gpm will be abandoned. B. The Gilmore Pond has been filled in priority during this diligence period. For purposes of this application the Pond was filled between May 24 and June 25, 2010 in the amount of 0.6 acre-feet. The pond is located off channel, is lined, and can only be filled through a headgate located upstream of the pond. The water stored in the Gilmore Pond is the source of replacement for out of priority depletions associated with a plan for augmentation for use of the Gilmore Well as also decreed in Case No. 97CW264. The Gilmore Well has historically been used for use in one residence and a caretaker unit (approximately 7500 gallons per month) and irrigation and stockwatering during 5 months of the year (approximately 15,000 gallons per month for 5 months) for a total average annual withdrawal of approximately 0.5 acre-feet. (The augmentation plan in Case No. 97CW264 allows an annual withdrawal of up to 0.79 acre-feet). Based on a 90% return flow for inhouse use in the residence and caretaker unit, the required replacement for that use is 9,000 gallons per year. Based on a 15% return flow for irrigation use of approximately 10,000 gallons per month for 5 months, the required replacement for irrigation and stockwatering use (approximately 25,000 gallons per year which is fully consumed) is 67,500 gallons. Therefore, historically the required replacement is 76,500 gallons per year (0.2 acre-feet). Therefore, Applicants request that the conditional amount of 0.2 acre-feet of the decreed 0.6 acre-feet be made absolute for replacement and augmentation purposes (applies only to the first filling and not the refill right). This Application for Finding of Reasonable Diligence is filed pursuant to the Water Right Determination and Administration Act of 1969, §37-92-302, C.R.S. During this diligence period, in continuing the development of the conditional water rights, Applicants have been engaged in the legal

Page 15: DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO ......DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO NOVEMBER 2012 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS

defense and protection of said water rights and has been diligent in the development of the water rights involved. Specifically, Applicants have continued to maintain and repair the Gilmore Well and Pond and have pumped the well and filled the pond in priority and in conjuction with the augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 97CW264. Also, Applicants obtained a decree in Case No. 10CW241 which made absolute part of the conditional water rights for the Gilmore Pond which is not part of the request made above. This request for a finding of reasonable diligence includes the water included to be made absolute if that request in not granted. Further, Applicant prays that this Court grant the amended application and for such other relief as seems proper in the premises.

Decree information for which change is sought: Case No. 80CW158, decreed on September 16, 1981 (Decree). Applicant is the owner of a total of 51.32 acres of land being Lots 98, 99, 100, and 101, Bell Mountain Ranch Subdivision Filing 1-A (Subject Property), which are located in the NW1/4 of Section 34, T8S, R67W of the 6th P.M. as shown on Attachment A hereto. Requested change: Applicant is the owner of approximately 14.3 acre-feet per year of the nontributary Lower Dawson aquifer groundwater decreed in Case No. 80CW158 and associated with the Subject Property pursuant to Order Acknowledging Change of Water Rights Ownership and Amending Decree to Make Quantities Absolute dated December 30, 2002, in Case No. 80CW158. By this change Applicant requests that the 14.3 acre-feet per year and the Subject Property be removed from the terms and conditions of the Decree. This change pertains only to the Lower Dawson aquifer groundwater owned by Applicant. Because the amount of Lower Dawson aquifer groundwater is being reduced from the decreed amount, no injury will occur to other owners or users of vested or conditional water rights. Further, Applicant prays that this Court grant the application and for such other relief as seems proper in the premises.

INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION OF SOUTH ADAMS’ OPERATIONS 3. General Description of 5K Water and Use by South Adams. The City and County of Denver, acting by and through its Board of Water Commissioners (“Denver Water”), entered into a Settlement Agreement dated August 31, 1999 (“Settlement Agreement”) with the Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company (“FRICO”), the Burlington Ditch Reservoir and Land Company and the Henrylyn Irrigation District (collectively, “the Companies”). In accordance with Article III of the Settlement Agreement, Denver Water has agreed to deliver to the Companies up to 5,000 acre-feet of reusable water (“the 5K Water”) in each delivery year. The Companies and South Adams entered into an Amended Stock Purchase Agreement dated September 6, 2006 (“the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement”) to provide for deliveries of 5K Water directly to South Adams through Denver Water’s facilities. Denver Water and the Companies entered into an Amendment to Settlement Agreement dated September 8, 2006 (“the Amended Settlement Agreement”) to provide for delivery of the 5K Water directly to South Adams from Denver Water’s facilities. In accordance with Article III of the Amended Settlement Agreement, South Adams has the right to fully-consume the 5K Water, including the right to use or reuse such water to extinction. As described below, South Adams will (a) deliver 5K Water to its customers for indoor and outdoor uses, and the return flows from such initial use will be recaptured and reused by South Adams; and (b) use the 5K Water for replacement and augmentation purposes in the South Adams Augmentation Plan, directly, by exchange, or after storage. 4. Delivery of 5K Water to South Adams’ Customers and Recapture and Reuse of Indoor and Outdoor Use Return Flows. The 5K Water will be diverted from the South Platte River at the headgate of the Fulton Ditch, as described in Paragraph 8.B. below, for storage in Howe-Haller, Hazeltine, Road Runners Rest II, Brinkmann-Woodward and Dunes Reservoirs, located in portions of Sections 2, 3, 4 and 9, Township 2 South, Range 67 West, 6th P.M., and Tanabe Reservoir in Section 10, Township 2 South, Range 67 West, 6th P.M. (collectively, the “North Reservoir Complex”) (f/k/a “Joint Denver Gravel Pit Lakes”). South Adams will take delivery of the 5K Water from storage in the North Reservoir Complex into its proposed water treatment plant adjacent to the North Reservoir Complex where the water will be treated and then delivered to its customers for indoor and outdoor uses, and the return flows from such initial use will be recaptured and reused by South Adams, as described in this Application. 5. Use of 5K Water for Augmentation and Replacement of Stream Depletions. By the Court’s Order dated October 1, 2012 in Case No. 2001CW258 (“October 2012 Order”), the 5K water was approved as a source of augmentation and replacement supply in the South Adams Augmentation Plan. Under the October 2012 Order, South Adams will use the 5K Water as an augmentation and replacement supply by delivering 5K Water to the South Platte River at the following locations, which were identified in Paragraph B.3. of the July 31, 2012 Notice of Use of Water Rights for Augmentation and Replacement filed by South Adams in Case No. 2001CW258: A. Metro Wastewater Reclamation District Treatment Plant South Platte River Outfall. Located in the NE1/4 NW1/4, Section 12, Township 3 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., in Adams County, Colorado, approximately 90 feet from the North section line and 1,440 feet from the West section line. B. Cat and Miller Reservoir Complex Outlet Structure. The outlet for the Cat and Miller Reservoir Complex is located on the west bank of the South Platte River in the NE1/4 NW1/4, Section 1, Township 3 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado, approximately 997 feet from the North section line and 2,477 feet from the West section line. C. North Reservoir Complex Outlet Structure. The future North Reservoir Complex Outlet Structure is expected to be located in the NW1/4 NE1/4 of Section 3, Township 2 South, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., in Adams County, Colorado. D. Wattenberg Reservoir Outlet Structure. The future Wattenberg Reservoir

Page 20: DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO ......DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO NOVEMBER 2012 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS

Outlet Structure is expected to be located in the NW1/4 SW1/4 or the SW1/4 NW1/4 of Section 30, Township 1 North, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M. By the Application in this case, South Adams also will use the 5K Water for augmentation and replacement purposes in the South Adams Augmentation Plan by exchange, as described in this Application. 6. General Description of Prospect Valley Water and Use by South Adams. South Adams owns ground water rights located in the Lost Creek Designated Ground Water Basin that have been changed for use for domestic, municipal, irrigation and other uses, and that have been authorized for exportation from the Lost Creek Designated Ground Water Basin of 1,266.8 acre-feet of water per year (“Prospect Valley Water”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of (a) the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, Judgment and Decree of the Court entered by the Adams County District Court on May 10, 2004 in Case No. 98CV1727; and (b) the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, Judgment and Decree of the Court entered by the Adams County District Court on June 1, 2004 in Case No. 99CV0097. The Prospect Valley Water may be fully consumed and may be used and reused to extinction. South Adams will deliver the Prospect Valley Water by pipeline to its customers for indoor and outdoor uses, and the return flows from such initial use will be recaptured and reused by South Adams, as described in this Application. QUANTIFICATION OF REUSABLE RETURN FLOWS 7. Accounting for South Adams’ Water Deliveries. Water delivered to South Adams’ customers from the individual sources available to South Adams is separately measured and recorded in South Adams’ daily accounting records. Therefore, the amount of water diverted into the South Adams water system from individual reusable sources such as the 5K Water and the Prospect Valley Water, and the proportion of the total water supply and total return flows attributable to each such reusable source, can be determined at all times. A. Sources of Reusable Return Flows. The 5K Water and the Prospect Valley Water are fully-consumable by South Adams and may be used, reused and successively used to extinction. Therefore, South Adams’ return flows attributable to those sources of water are Reusable Return Flows. South Adams retains dominion and control over its fully-consumable water until the water has been used, reused and successively used to extinction. No change of any type is requested regarding the 5K Water or the Prospect Valley Water. South Adams claims all return flows from the 5K Water and the Prospect Valley Water in its quantification of lawn irrigation return flows (“LIRFs”), municipal system loss return flows and wastewater return flows pursuant to this Application. B. Quantification of Reusable LIRFs. South Adams’ Reusable Return Flows accruing to the South Platte River and its tributaries by means of the groundwater system in the form of LIRFs will be calculated based on the LIRF methodology established in Paragraph 36.h. of the 2001CW258 Decree, which requires South Adams to determine the amount of its LIRFS in a manner consistent with what is commonly referred to as the “Cottonwood Method” decreed in Case No. 81CW142. South Adams will also take credit for 2% of the reusable water that is supplied for lawn irrigation water use which returns to the South Platte River as surface return flow. C. Quantification of Reusable Municipal System Loss Return Flows. South Adams’ Reusable Return Flows accruing to the South Platte River and its tributaries by means of the ground water system from municipal system losses will be determined in the manner provided in the W-8440 Decrees and Paragraph 36.i. of the 2001CW258 Decree. D. Quantification of Reusable Wastewater Return Flows. South Adams’ Reusable Return Flows in the form of wastewater return flows to the South Platte River will be determined in the manner provided in the W-8440 Decrees and Paragraph 36.j. of the 2001CW258 Decree. Presently all of South Adams’ treated wastewater returns to the South Platte River at South Adams’ Williams-Monaco Wastewater Treatment Plant (“Williams-Monaco WWTP”) located in the SE1/4, Section 17, Township 2 South, Range 67 West, 6th P.M. A portion of South Adams’ wastewater will be treated at the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District’s proposed new Northern Treatment Plant (“NTP”) that will be located in Weld County near the City of Brighton, Colorado, adjacent to the South Platte River. The NTP outfall is expected to be located in the SE1/4 SW1/4, Section 31, Township 1 North, Range 66 West, 6th P.M. 8. Location of Quantification of Reusable Return Flows. South Adams will quantify its LIRFs and municipal system loss Reusable Return Flows at the locations described in Paragraphs 8.A. through 8.H. and Paragraph 8.K. below, and will quantify its wastewater Reusable Return Flows at the locations set forth in Paragraphs 8.I. and 8.J. below, and use those Reusable Return Flows as a source of replacement and augmentation water in the South Adams Augmentation Plan

Page 21: DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO ......DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO NOVEMBER 2012 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS

directly, by exchange, or after storage. In Case Nos. W-8440 and 2001CW258, a portion of South Adams’ service area was divided into return flow plots for purposes of analysis and quantification of the amount, timing and location of LIRFs and municipal system loss return flows. South Adams will distribute the LIRF and municipal system loss Reusable Return Flows among the return flow plots to determine the timing and location of the LIRF and municipal system loss Reusable Return Flows. The points listed in Paragraphs 8.A. through 8.H. and Paragraph 8.K. below are South Adams’ best estimate of the locations at which LIRFs and municipal system loss return flows will be quantified. Additional points of quantification may be identified to facilitate the diversion and use of LIRFs, wastewater, and municipal system loss Reusable Return Flows. A.
