Accordingly, Applicant intends to propose terms and conditions in the decree for the plan for augmentation requested herein for adding additional sources of augmentation to the augmentation plan in the future. 7. Statement of Plan for Augmentation: 7.1 The above described wells are, or will be, used for irrigation, and/or used in a commercial dairy operation for above described uses at the above described locations. The wells may continue to operate pursuant to augmentation plans described above. Based on ongoing and future expansion of the dairy operations and additional irrigation demand, Applicant seeks approval of the plan for augmentation requested in this application to augment the out of priority depletions from well pumping that are not augmented by the previously decreed augmentation plans. The plan for augmentation will use the sources of augmentation described above to provide for replacement of out-of-priority depletions to the South Platte River from the use of the wells, including out-of-priority post-pumping depletions resulting from use of the wells, to the extent necessary to prevent injury to other water rights. 7.2 The timing of depletions will be calculated. Augmentation water will be provided by recharge credits which accrue to the South Platte River and also by release of the two shares of Jackson Lake Reservoir and Irrigation Company and three shares of Morgan Prewitt Reservoir Company water to the South Platte River. Augmentation water will enter the South Platte River in a reach from Section 17, Township 4N, Range 60W of the 6th P.M. through Section 18, Township 4N, Range 58 W of the 6th PM, all in Morgan County, Colorado. Pumping will be limited so depletions do not exceed the available augmentation supply. 7.3 The plan for augmentation will not cause any material injurious effect to the owner or user of any vested water rights or decreed conditional water rights. 8. Owners of land on which any new structure is or will be located: 8.1 Empire Dairy Well No. 1: Applicant 9. The wells identified in Paragraph 4.2 are GMS Member Wells augmented by the augmentation plan of the Groundwater Management Subdistrict of the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District (GMS) Decreed in Case No. 02CW335 under Class D Contract Nos. 398, 399, 400, 401, 402, 956, 965 and 994.

Proposed use: Drinking, cooking and sanitary purposes inside a primary house and a guest house/detached home office; commercial; stock water; hot tub/spa and/or swimming pool; lawn and garden irrigation; other landscaping features; augmentation. 7. Name and address of owner of land on which wells are/will be located: Same as Applicant. II. APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION. 8. Name of structures to be augmented: Well permit 229191. No other water rights are or will be diverted from that well. After entry of a decree, permit 229191 will be re-permitted consistent with the provisions of the decree. 9. Previous decrees for water rights to be used for augmentation: None. 10. Historic use: Not applicable. 11. Statement of plan for augmentation: Well permit 229191 is only permitted for indoor residential uses and noncommercial domestic animals. Applicant seeks approval of a plan for augmentation which will allow multiple uses from this structure, including without limitation indoor residential uses, commercial uses, a detached home office or guest house, landscape and garden irrigation, hot tub and/or swimming pool. Indoor use for the existing house is expected to equal 0.3 acre foot annually. Treatment of waste water from indoor uses will be achieved using a nonevaporative individual septic tank and leach field system (“ISDS”); consumption of water so treated will not exceed 10 percent of uses, with 90 percent, or 0.27 acre foot annually, returning to the nearest stream. Depletions in the 300th year are modeled to equal approximately 18 percent of annual pumping, or 0.27 acre foot based on the maximum allowable annual pumping rate of 1.5 acre foot. So long as a single family dwelling is located on the lot, ISDS return flows alone will equal or exceed maximum stream depletions each year during pumping. Change of the type of wastewater treatment to a central sewage treatment with direct discharge to any tributary of Fountain Creek or Cherry Creek shall not require an amendment to this plan for augmentation, but change to any

Page 25: Produced Nontributary Ground Water Notification …...JANUARY 2012 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1 Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302,

other type of waste water disposal shall require an amendment. Applicant proposes to replace depletions during pumping with return flows from the ISDS, and to replace post-pumping depletions with the nontributary Denver aquifer water decreed herein, all of which will be reserved for that purpose. Applicant will reserve the right to replace such depletions with any other judicially acceptable source of augmentation water, upon judicial approval after appropriate notice. 12. Miscellaneous provisions. (1) There is one lien against the Applicant’s property, a copy of the letter to the lienor as required by C.R.S. 37-92-302(2)(b) is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Proposed use: indoor residential, indoor commercial (drinking and sanitary uses only), livestock water, irrigation, hot tub or spa, augmentation. 7. Name and address of owner of land on which wells are/will be located: Same as Applicants. II. APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION. 8. Name of structures to be augmented: Well permit 34255-A and three additional Dawson aquifer wells. No other water rights will be withdrawn through those wells. 9. Previous decrees for water rights to be used for augmentation: None. 10. Historic use: Not applicable. 11. Statement of plan for augmentation: Well permit 34255-A is permitted for domestic uses. Applicants seek approval of a plan for augmentation which will allow this well to be used for the following purposes; indoor residential uses, indoor commercial uses (sanitary and drinking water only), landscape and garden irrigation, livestock water, hot tub and/or spa. In addition, Applicants seek approval of a plan for augmentation which will allow the same uses from three additional Dawson aquifer wells. Total Dawson aquifer annual pumping shall not exceed 1.6 acre feet and total Dawson aquifer pumping over the entire augmentation plan shall not exceed 480 acre feet. The Dawson aquifer wells will operate as a well field, in which each well will be limited to 1.6 acre feet annually in

Page 26: Produced Nontributary Ground Water Notification …...JANUARY 2012 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1 Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302,

combination with the other three Dawson aquifer wells on the Property. Until the Property is subdivided, the existing well, permit 34255-A, shall be allowed to operate under its existing permit; when the Property is subdivided, a new well permit consistent with the terms of the plan for augmentation shall be required. Indoor use for each residence is expected to average 0.27 acre foot annually. Treatment of waste water from indoor uses will be achieved using nonevaporative individual septic tanks and leach fields (“ISDS”); consumption of water so treated will not exceed 10 percent of residential indoor uses, or 0.027 acre foot annually per lot, with 90 percent, or 0.243 acre foot annually, returning to the nearest stream. Depletions in the 300th year are modeled to equal 24.4 percent of annual pumping. Based on maximum annual pumping of 1.6 acre feet, depletions in the 300th year will equal 0.39 acre foot. So long as there are ISDS return flows from at least two single family dwellings, such return flows alone will equal at least 0.486 acre foot annually, which exceeds stream depletions each year during pumping. Change to a type of wastewater disposal other than nonevaporative ISDS shall require an amendment of this plan for augmentation. Applicants propose to replace depletions during pumping with Dawson aquifer return flows from the ISDS, and to replace post-pumping depletions with the nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer water decreed herein, all of which will be reserved for that purpose. Applicants will seek permission to reserve the right to replace such depletions with any other judicially acceptable source of augmentation water, upon judicial approval after appropriate notice. 12.

(7 pages) 2003CW200 EAST CHERRY CREEK VALLEY WATER AND SANITATION DISTRICT, (“ECCV” or the “District”) 6201 S. Gun Club Road, Aurora, CO 80016 (303) 693-3800; (c/o William B. Tourtillott, Brian M. Nazarenus, Sheela S. Stack, RYLEY CARLOCK & APPLEWHITE, 1999 Broadway, Suite 1800, Denver, CO 80202), FIRST AMENDED APPLICATION FOR QUANTIFICATION OF WATER RIGHTS, APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION AND APPROPRIATIVE RIGHT OF EXCHANGE, IN ARAPAHOE COUNTY. 2. Introduction. ECCV filed its application in this Case No. 03CW200 on April 30, 2003 (the “Original Application”). The Original Application sought the adjudication of a plan for augmentation and appropriative right of exchange, as well as a judicial determination of the amount and timing of irrigation return flows attributable to the use of ECCV’s nontributary ground water rights in the West Toll Gate Creek and East Toll Gate Creek basins and their tributaries. Since the Original Application was filed, ECCV has acquired substantial interests in other fully reusable water sources, in addition to its nontributary sources. It is anticipated that such other fully reusable water sources will become an increasingly large part of ECCV’s water supplies. The Original Application was limited to nontributary sources, however. This Amended Application adds ECCV’s other reusable sources as sources of supply for the irrigation return flows to be quantified in this case and makes minor corrections to the descriptions of ECCV’s nontributary water sources. This Amended Application also requests approval for ECCV to divert its irrigation return flows from additional surface water diversion facilities. As provided in the Original Application, ECCV proposes to use its irrigation return flow rights by (1) direct diversion and reuse; (2) augmentation of District wells that divert from Piney Creek and Cherry Creek; and (3) exchange. A map showing the general location of ECCV’s service area in the Toll Gate Creek drainage basin is attached as Exhibit A. Because the Original Application explicitly referred to nontributary sources as the source of supply throughout its contents, this Amended Application completely replaces the Original Application, instead of amending specific paragraphs only. 3. Sources of Irrigation Return Flows. The water that is the subject of this application includes return flows from irrigation of lawns, parks, open spaces, school grounds, golf courses, and spillage from Denver Basin non-tributary ground water rights and other fully consumable sources owned, controlled, or claimed by ECCV. All such water may be fully consumed by ECCV by use, reuse, and successive use pursuant to the applicable decrees and C.R.S. § 37-82-106, except in those instances in which 2% is required to be relinquished to the stream.

Page 31: Produced Nontributary Ground Water Notification …...JANUARY 2012 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1 Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302,

Located in the SW1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 23, Township 5 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., at a point 700 feet from the West section line and 1,025 feet from the South section line of said Section 23. 2. Diversion Rate: 500 gpm. 3. Decree Information: Decreed by the Division No. 1 Water Court on April 13, 1992 in Case No. 88CW054(A), with an appropriation date of March 31, 1988. A map depicting the Piney Creek and Cherry Creek Wells is attached as Exhibit C. 6. Description of Augmentation Plan: A. Initial Irrigation with Reusable Sources. ECCV estimates that approximately 1,200 acres of land within the District in the East and West Toll Gate Creek Basins and their tributaries will be irrigated with reusable water sources listed in paragraph 3, above. Because there are almost no alluvial sand deposits in the stream channels of East and West Toll Gate Creeks within the District boundaries, irrigation return flows from the District’s reusable sources accrue to East and West Toll Gate Creeks as surface flows within the reaches of those streams located within the District Boundaries. B. Quantities of Reusable Return Flows. 1. Existing Reusable Return Flows. The District estimates that the existing average annual amount of lawn irrigation return flows is 700 acre-feet in the West Toll Gate Creek basin. 2. Estimated Return Flows at Build Out. ECCV estimates that when the East and West Toll Gate Creek basins are fully built-out, there will be approximately 16,000 single-family equivalent taps (“SFE’s”). Based on the District’s lawn irrigation return flow data in Piney Creek, ECCV estimates that future lawn irrigation return flows in the Toll Gate Creek basin from 16,000 SFE’s, together with irrigation of parks, open spaces, school grounds, and golf course, will be approximately 1,000 acre-feet per year. C. Operation of Augmentation Plan. 1. The District will recapture and divert an amount of water equal to the amount of irrigation return flows derived from reusable sources accruing to East and West Toll Gate Creeks and their tributaries. ECCV shall use the Cottonwood Curve methodology to quantify those irrigation return flows. Diversion of said return flows from the diversion structures described in paragraph 4, above, shall be limited to times when there are surface flows attributable to ECCV’s irrigation return flows in East and/or West Toll Gate Creeks, as applicable. The timing and rate of these diversions shall be such that no material injury will be experienced by holders or users of vested or decreed conditional water rights. 2. Irrigation return flows accruing to East and West Toll Gate Creeks and their tributaries as surface flows may be diverted and measured through one or more of the structures described above in paragraphs 4(A) through (E). Alternatively, the District may transport the Toll Gate Creek basin recaptured return flows into Piney Creek via a pipeline where they will be used as a replacement source to augment diversions on Cherry Creek and Piney Creek through the structures listed above in paragraph 5. 3. Toll Gate Creek is a tributary to Sand Creek, which is a tributary to the South Platte River. When there is a live stream along the entire length of the stream from the District to the South Platte River, the District may elect to leave its East and West Toll Gate Creek reusable return flows in the stream and deliver them to the South Platte River for direct diversion at additional locations, as described in paragraph 4(E) for reuse in ECCV’s municipal system. 4. The District may beneficially use its reusable irrigation return flows accruing to East and West Toll Gate Creeks, and the South Platte River, for all municipal purposes including, without limitation, irrigation, storage, augmentation and exchange. 7. Claim for Conditional Appropriative Right of Exchange. A. Description of Facilities Involved in Exchange. The facilities involved in the Piney Creek Exchange are as follows: 1. Foxhill Park Diversion Structure, described in paragraph 4(A), above. 2. Pioneer Park Diversion Structure, described in paragraph 4(B), above. 3. Spring Creek Park Diversion Structure, described in paragraph 4(C), above. 4. East Toll Gate Creek Diversion Structure, described in paragraph 4(D), above. 5. Piney Creek Well No. 4, described in paragraph 5(G), above. 6. Piney Creek Well No. 7, described in paragraph 5(I), above. 7. Toll Gate Pipeline Outlet. The Toll Gate Pipeline Outlet will be located in the SW1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 23, Township 5 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M. at a point 50 feet from the West section line and 850 from the South section line of said Section 23. B. Description of Piney Creek Exchange. The Piney Creek Exchange is a conditional appropriative right of exchange that will maximize the use of water owned by the District by enabling ECCV to use reusable irrigation return flows accruing in East and West Toll Gate Creeks as a source of substitute supply in exchange for diversions made through certain of the District’s Piney Creek alluvial wells. 1. Exchange Reach. The Piney Creek Exchange reach will be from the Toll Gate Creek Pipeline Outlet, upstream to Piney Creek

Page 32: Produced Nontributary Ground Water Notification …...JANUARY 2012 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1 Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302,

Well No. 4, and Piney Creek Well No. 7. See Exhibit C. As described in ECCV’s claim for an augmentation plan, nontributary irrigation return flows accruing to East and West Toll Gate Creeks will be diverted through one or more of the structures described in paragraphs 4(A) through (D). From there, ECCV will transport the return flows to Piney Creek via a pipeline which the District anticipates will be constructed within the Himalaya Street right of way (the “Toll Gate Creek Pipeline”). Return flows delivered to Piney Creek through the Toll Gate Creek Pipeline will be used to either augment diversions through the District’s wells located downstream of Himalaya Street, or as source of substitute supply in exchange for diversions made through Piney Creek Well Nos. 4 or 7, which are located upstream of Himalaya Street. 2. Rate of Exchange. The maximum rate of exchange for the Piney Creek Exchange is 2.23 cfs. 3. Source of Substitute Supply. The source of substitute supply for the Piney Creek Exchange will be reusable irrigation return flows attributable to ECCV’s water rights described in paragraph 3 above, that accrue to East and West Toll Gate Creeks and their tributaries. 4. Use of Exchanged Water. ECCV may use water diverted by exchange through Piney Creek Well Nos. 4, and 7 for all municipal purposes. 5. Appropriation Date. The appropriation date for the Piney Creek Exchange is April 22, 2003. 8. Owners of Land upon which Structures are Located. A. District Alluvial Wells CC-10, CC-12, and CC-15 are located on land owned by ECCV. B. Foxhill Park Diversion, Pioneer Park Diversion, Spring Creek Park Diversion, Open Space Park Diversion, East Toll Gate Creek Diversion, Piney Creek Well No. 1, Piney Creek Well No. 2, Piney Creek Well No. 3, Piney Creek Well No. 4, Piney Creek Well No. 6, Piney Creek Well No. 7, and Toll Gate Creek Pipeline Outlet, are located on land that is jointly owned by ECCV and the Arapahoe Park and Recreation District. The address for the Arapahoe Park and Recreation District is: Arapahoe Park and Recreation District, 16799 E. Lake Avenue, P.O. Box 3354, Centennial, CO 80015. 9. Relief Requested.
