Name of Structure: Lake Sunyata. 3. Description of Conditional Water Rights: A. Date of Original Decree: December 30, 1991 in Case No. 85CW204, District Court, Water Division No. 1, Colorado. B. Location: NE ¼ of Section 23, T9N, R73W of the 6th P.M. in Larimer County. C. Source: Manhattan Ditch, natural drainage of the basin, and the wells described in 85CW204 will be used to fill the reservoir. The sources of this water are Manhattan Creek and Rio RMDC tributary to Elkhorn Creek. D. Appropriation Date: April 17, 1987. Amount: 3.89 acre-feet. E. Conditional Uses: In 97CW399 January 12, 1999 Findings of Fact, Ruling of Referee and Decree, for a Finding of Reasonable Diligence and to Make Conditional Water Rights Absolute. Lake Sunyata: 2.78 acre-feet; decreed absolute for irrigation. In 97CW399 conditionally decreed amounts remain as follows: 1.11 acre-feet for irrigation; 3.89 acre-feet for dust suppression, storage, augmentation and exchange. (In Case No. 85CW204, Lake Sunyata was decreed absolute for domestic, residential, camp, commercial, piscatorial, fire protection and recreational uses). 4. 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. RMDC’s Phase I augmentations plan was separately decreed in Case No. 85CW204. RMDC has been making orderly and systematic progress on its development plans. During this diligence period RMDC requested to amend its existing use permit with Larimer County, and was granted amendments modifying the layout of the RMDC retreat and consolidating buildings within building concentration area. RMDC spent $800,000 on engineering fees and the installation of a water system to support fire protection, and domestic water for the Center, including an aeration system for the control of potable water for Radon, and chlorination building housing automated electronic controls to regulate Wells No. 3, 5, and 7, that are described in decree 85CW204. These wells and associated piping now supply water for the new potable water system. The new water distribution system has three, full-size fire hydrants, and ten new service connections, bringing the total number of service connections to twenty-nine. A pipe to put water into fire-truck tanks has been installed at Lake Sunyata. RMDC is part of the Poudre Canyon Fire Protection District and during this period has provided water to Poudre Canyon Fire Protection District Station #4, and other local Fire Departments for fighting fires—directly hydrants, and from Lake Sunyata. RMDC spent $10,000 on a quick response fire truck. During this period further substantial work has been done towards the completion of RMDC’s development plans. RMDC incurred costs of $850,000 constructing a 280-person capacity building, including office and meeting rooms. RMDC spent $4,829,000 on additional facilities including construction of Shambhala Lodge with a capacity for 50-60 people, construction of The Great Stupa of Dharmakaya; five manufactured residential housing units, including connections to potable water system, and installation of septic tank and infiltrator field. RMDC spent $105,000 on other improvements to properties and facilities, including a Botanic Gardens and Arboreta and a greenhouse and vegetable gardens and other irrigation uses. RMDC spent $68,000 on architectural and similar fees and expenses for future planned projects. During this diligence period RMDC increased guest “bed-nights” from 16,000 annually to 27,000 annually. To help accomplish both Phase I and Phase II development and related water use, RMDC has created a complete master plan of its future development. The plan includes location and sizing of new buildings, new roads, and RMDC Lake No. 2 (conditionally decreed in Case No. 89CW230A). RMDC intends to complete Phase I of its augmentation plan (as decreed in

January 2005 Resume Page 4 of 41

Case No. 85CW204) and initiate Phase II as soon as fundraising and the pace of construction allow. RMDC has not yet needed to use water for dust suppression. However, as major construction of roads and buildings progresses, some water likely will be needed for dust suppression. Therefore, RMDC desires to preserve this conditional right for future use. RMDC has been complying with the requirements of its augmentation plan, but has not yet been required to release water from Lake Sunyata for storage, augmentation and exchange purposes. There is a control gate installed in the bottom of Lake Sunyata for this purpose. RMDC desires to preserve this conditional right for future use. Wherefore applicant requests continuation of conditional water rights as the applicant has done reasonable diligence to claim those water rights.

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: RMDC said in its application for Case No. 89CW230 that this augmentation plan was long-term. It was stated in ¶ 11 of the Decree: “This plan is a Phase II plan for applicant’s future needs. Because of the applications of the United States for instream flows on Elkhorn Creek, it is necessary at the present time to attempt to anticipate future water needs for the Camp, although growth to this Phase II size is some years in the future.” In ¶ 19 it was stated: “Because of the anticipated phased development of the Camp, Applicant anticipates that the augmentation, change and exchange sought in this case will be conditional for some years.” RMDC’s Phase I augmentation plan was decreed in Case No. 85CW204. RMDC has been making orderly and systematic progress on its development plans. During this diligence period RMDC requested to amend its existing use permit with Larimer County, and was granted amendments modifying the layout of the RMDC retreat and consolidating buildings within building concentration area. RMDC spent $800,000 on engineering fees and the installation of a water system to support fire protection, and domestic water for the Center, including an aeration system for the control of potable water for Radon, and chlorination building housing automated electronic controls to regulate Wells No. 3, 5, 7, wells that are described in decree 85CW204. These wells and associated piping now supply water for the new potable water system. The new water distribution system has three, full-size fire hydrants and ten new service connections bringing the total number of service connections to twenty-nine. A pipe to put water into fire-truck tanks has been installed at Lake Sunyata. RMDC is part of the Poudre Canyon Fire Protection District and during this period RMDC has provided water to Poudre Canyon Fire Protection District Station #4, and other local Fire Departments for fighting fires—directly from hydrants, and from Lake Sunyata. RMDC spent $10,000 on a quick response fire truck. During this period further substantial work has been done towards the completion of RMDC’s development plans. RMDC incurred costs of $850,000 constructing a 280-person capacity building, including office and meeting rooms. RMDC spent $4,829,000 on additional facilities including construction of Shambhala Lodge with a capacity for 50-60 people; construction of The Great Stupa of Dharmakaya; five manufactured residential housing units, including connections to potable water system, and installation of septic tank and infiltrator field.

RMDC spent $68,000 on architectural and similar fees and expenses for future planned projects. During this diligence period RMDC increased guest “bed-nights” from 16,000 annually to 27,000 annually.

extinction. The effluent or other returns, such as from lawn irrigation, that is discharged or released by Thornton attributable to the exercise of the Subject Water Rights shall have associated with it the same rights of use, reuse, successive use and disposition, once all return flow obligations have been met. The water may be placed to use within the Thornton service area as it now exists or may exist in the future, and in any other locations in accordance with lease, trade, exchange or other agreements with other water supplying entities. 6.2 Alternate time of use. Subject to the terms of the court’s decree, Thornton may divert, store or use water derived from the Subject Water Rights throughout the calendar year. 6.3 Alternate points of diversion. In addition to their currently decreed points of diversion, each of the indicated direct flow Subject Water Rights described in paragraphs 4 and 5 above, may be diverted at one or more alternate points of diversion as follows: 6.3.1 Thornton South Platte Well Field No. 1: The Thornton South Platte Well Field No. 1 is the subject of a pending adjudication in the District Court, Water Division No. 1 under Case No. 02CW180.

structures owned, or in which Thornton has real property interests or rights to use, either now or in the future, capable of receiving deliveries from the points of diversion described in paragraph 6.3. Such storage structures include the following: 6.4.1 East Gravel Lakes (a.k.a Tani Lakes): located adjacent to the east bank of the South Platte River, in Sections 25 and 36, Township 2 South, Range 68 West, and Sections 30 and 31, Township 2 South, Range 67 West, of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado. 6.4.2 West Gravel Lakes: located just West of the South Platte River in Sections 25 and 36, Township 2 South, Range 68 West, and Section 30, Township 2 South, Range 67 West, of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado. 6.4.3 Brannan Lakes: located in the SW/4 of Section 35, Township 2 South, Range 68 West, of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado. 6.4.4 South Dahlia Pit: located in the NE/4, the NW/4 of the SE/4, and the E/2 of the NE/4 of the SW/4 of Section 30, Township 2 South, Range 67 West, of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado. 6.4.5 North Dahlia Pit: located in the S/2 of the NE/4, and the SE/4 of Section 19; the W/2 of the SW/4, and the S/2 of the NW/4 of Section 20, said sections in T. 2 S., R. 67 W., 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado. 6.4.6 East Sprat-Platte Pit: located in the S/2 of the SW/4, and the SW/4 of the SE/4 of Section 17, and NW/4, and NW/4 of the NE/4 of Section 20, said sections in T. 2 S., R. 67 W., 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado. 6.4.7 West Sprat-Platte Pit: located in the SW/4 of Section 17, and the NW/4 of the NW/4 of Section 20, said sections in T. 2 S., R. 67 W., 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado. 6.4.8 Cooley East Pit: located in the S/2 of Section 9 and the NW/4 of Section 16, said sections in T. 2 S., R. 67 W., 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado. 6.4.9 Cooley West Pit: located in the NE/4, the N/2 of the SE/4, the NE/4 of the SW/4, and the SE/4 of the NW/4 of Section 17, T. 2 S., R. 67 W., 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado. 6.5 Downstream re-diversion after stream conveyance. In addition to the alternate points of diversion and places of storage described above, Thornton seeks to judicially confirm its statutory right under C.R.S. §§ 37-84-113 and 37-87-102, among others, to release water diverted (and for which return flow obligations have been accounted) under the changed Subject Water Rights, to convey by stream and to re-divert such at other locations for subsequent use and storage. Thornton’s release and re-diversion would be consistent with replacement, adjustment and regulation of Thornton’s storage and delivery systems, and those of its users, among themselves and with others, as described in paragraph 6.1 above.

Has Been Done Toward Completion of the Appropriation and Application of Water to Beneficial Use. Applicant is the owner and operator of the Loveland Valley and Loveland Basin ski areas located in the upper Clear Creek Basin in Clear Creek County, Colorado. The Lower Loveland Snowmaking and Domestic Diversion is decreed for, among other purposes, “storage of water by exchange,” pursuant to the decree dated February 1, 1990 in Case No. 88CW247. Applicant was also granted a change in use for the Lower Loveland Snowmaking and Domestic Diversion Water Right to include reuse and successive use of the water in addition to the previously decreed uses in Case No. 93CW135 (Water Div.1). Water available for appropriation in priority under the Lower Loveland Snowmaking and Domestic Diversion water right has been diverted into storage in Clear Lake Reservoir by exchange, as allowed under the decree in Case No. 88CW247 and pursuant to an appropriative right of exchange decreed by this Court on January 3, 1997 in Case Nos. 93CW137 and 88CW246, identified in that decree as Exchange No. 1. The appropriative right of exchange allows the storage of water in Clear Lake Reservoir in exchange for the bypassing of the water available for diversion in priority from the Lower Loveland Snowmaking and Domestic Diversion water right. The right of exchange has an appropriation date of December 30, 1988 as to the first 60 acre feet stored by exchange and June 2, 1993 as to amounts in excess of 60 acre feet. The water diverted under the Lower Loveland Snowmaking and Domestic Diversion water right by exchange into Clear Lake Reservoir is released for augmentation of domestic and snowmaking diversions at the Loveland ski areas. Clear Lake Reservoir is formed by a dam across south Clear Creek and is located in the SW1/4 of section 29 and the NW1/4 of section 32, Township 4 South, Range 74 West of the 6th P.M. in Clear Creek County, Colorado. The capacity of the reservoir is 610 acre-feet. In Case No. 93CW138, this Court granted Applicant an absolute water right for 11.0 c.f.s. of the 32.0 c.f.s conditional water right for storage purposes of 60 acre-feet by exchange, pursuant to Exchange No. 1, and subsequently released for augmentation of snowmaking and domestic diversions at Loveland Basin and Loveland Valley ski areas. Until 2004, Applicant was a party to a lease agreement with the Green and Clear Lakes Company and Public Service Company of Colorado, the owners of Clear Lake Reservoir. This lease agreement originally allowed for the storage of up to 60 acre-feet of water by Loveland in the Reservoir and was subsequently amended to allow storage of up to 90 acre-feet. The amendment of the lease agreement to allow the storage of water in excess of 60 acre feet is evidence that Applicant is diligently working to complete the appropriation, and to make the Lower Loveland Snowmaking and Domestic Diversion water right absolute in a greater amount than is currently absolute. On October 30, 2003, Applicant filed an application with this Court to amend the decree in Case Nos. 93CW137 and 88CW246 confirming the appropriative right of exchange described as Exchange No. 1. That application is currently pending in Case No. 03CW361 (Water Div. 1). The application requests the addition of Golden Reservoirs Nos. 1, 2, and 3, a/k/a Guanella Reservoir, as described in the decree dated November 28, 1985 in Case No. 82CW469 and by decree dated August 18, 2004 in Case No. 02CW379, to the allowable locations of storage by exchange. Golden Reservoirs Nos. 1, 2, and 3 are located as follows: Golden Reservoir No. 1: In the NW1/4 SW1/4, Section 29 and the NE1/4 SE1/4, Section 30, Township 3 South, Range 74 West of the 6th P.M., Clear Creek County, Colorado. The right (south) abutment of the dam is located at a point whence the SE corner of Section 29, Township 3 South, Range 74 West of the 6th P.M. bears South 66° 25’ East a distance of 4,842 feet. The decreed capacity is: 450 acre feet active; 150 acre feet dead storage. Golden Reservoir No. 2: In the N1/2 SW1/4 and the NW1/4 SE1/4, Section 29, Township 3 South, Range 74 West of the 6th P.M., Clear Creek County, Colorado. The right (south) abutment of the dam is located at a point whence the SE corner of Section 29, Township 3 South, Range 74 West of the 6th P.M. bears South 56° 48’ East a distance of 2,792 feet. The decreed capacity is: 850 acre feet active; 150 acre feet dead storage. Golden Reservoir No. 3: In the N1/2 SE1/4, Section 29, Township 3 South, Range 74 West of the 6th P.M., Clear Creek County, Colorado. The right (south) abutment of the dam is located at a point whence the SE corner of Section 29, Township 3 South, Range 74 West of the 6th P.M. bears South 21° 44’ East a distance of 2,031 feet. The decreed capacity is: 875 acre feet active; 125 acre feet dead storage. Applicant and City of Golden entered into a lease agreement on March 15, 2004 for Applicant’s use of 90 acre-feet of storage capacity in Golden Reservoirs Nos. 1, 2,

January 2005 Resume Page 17 of 41

and 3. This lease agreement is for an initial term of fifteen (15) years, expiring on December 31, 2019, with an option for renewal for an additional ten (10) years by mutual agreement of the parties. This lease agreement evidences Applicant’s continued work toward the exercise of the exchange of the Lower Loveland Snowmaking and Domestic Diversion water right for storage of up to 90 acre-feet for augmentation of domestic and snowmaking diversions at the Loveland ski areas. Applicant’s agent’s and attorneys have monitored the monthly resumes of applications filed in Water Division No. 1 and have submitted statements of opposition where deemed necessary or advisable for the full protection of this water right. These steps constitute reasonable diligence toward the completion of the appropriation of the conditional water right for later release for augmentation of snowmaking and domestic diversions. Applicant seeks a finding that it has been reasonably diligent in completing the appropriation of the Lower Loveland Snowmaking and Domestic Diversion water right to the extent of 11.0 c.f.s. of such right. Applicant does not seek and is willing to abandon the remaining 21.0 c.f.s. of the Lower Loveland Snowmaking and Domestic Diversion water right. WHEREFORE, Applicant respectfully requests that this Court find that reasonable diligence has been exercised toward the completion of the Lower Loveland Snowmaking and Domestic Diversion conditional water right for the storage and later release for augmentation of snowmaking and domestic diversions in the amount of 11.0 c.f.s. of such right and continue that portion of the conditional water right in full force and effect. Applicant further requests that the remaining 21.0 c.f.s. of the Lower Loveland Snowmaking and Domestic Diversion water right be considered abandoned. 5 pages. 05CW013 TROY AND TRACY STEPHENSON, 5027 Garton Road Castle Rock, Colorado 80104, (303) 356-6697, CLIFFORD AND KIMBERLY CHANDLER, 5025 Garton Road, Castle Rock, Colorado 80104.

Well Permits: Well permits will be applied for prior to construction of the wells. 3. Legal Description of Wells and Subject Property: The wells which will withdraw groundwater from the not nontributary Upper Dawson and nontributary Lower Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers will be located at any location on approximately 80 acres of land located in the N1/2NE1/4 and part of the E1/2N1/2N W1/4 of Section 8, T9S, R66W of the 6th P.M., as described and shown on Attachment A hereto ("Subject Property"). Applicants Troy and Tracy Stephenson are owners of 73 acres and Applicants Clifford and Kimberly Chandler are owners of 7 acres of the Subject Property. 4. Source of Water Rights: The source of the groundwater to be withdrawn from the Upper Dawson aquifer is not nontributary as described in 37-90-103(10.7) and 37-90-137(9)(c), C.R.S. The groundwater to be withdrawn from the Lower Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers is nontributary groundwater as described in 37-90-103(10.5), C.R.S. 5. Estimated Amounts and Rates of Withdrawal: The wells will withdraw the subject amounts of groundwater at rates of flow necessary to efficiently withdraw the entire decreed amounts. Applicants will withdraw the subject groundwater through wells to be located at any location on the Subject Property. Applicants waive any 600 foot spacing rule as described in Section 37-90-137(2), C.R.S. for wells located on the Subject Property. The estimated average annual amounts of withdrawal available from the subject aquifers as indicated below, are based upon the Denver Basin Rules, 2 C.C.R. 402-6. Applicants estimate the following annual amounts are representative of the aquifers underlying the Subject Property: Saturated Annual Aquifer Thickness Amount Upper Dawson 185 feet 23 acre-feet Lower Dawson 80 feet 13 acre-feet Denver 425 feet 56 acre-feet

January 2005 Resume Page 18 of 41

Arapahoe 420 feet 56 acre-feet Laramie-Fox Hills 180 feet 21 acre-feet Applicants will reserve parts of the Upper Dawson aquifer water for use through exempt wells. 6. Well Fields: Applicants request that this Court determine that Applicants have the right to withdraw all of the legally available groundwater lying below the Subject Property, through the wells requested herein, which may be located anywhere on the Subject Property, and any additional wells which may be completed in the future as Applicants' well fields. As additional wells are constructed, applications will be filed in accordance with 37-90-137(10), C.R.S. Applicants request that water requested herein and underlying the Subject Property be withdrawn in combination with groundwater in the same aquifers as decreed to Applicants in Case No. 2002CW83, and underlying a contiguous parcel located in the N1/2NW1/4 of Section 8, T9S, R66W, through wells to be located on the Subject Property or wells to be located on the land which is the subject of Case No. 2002CW83. 7.Proposed Use: Applicants will use reuse, and successively use the water for domestic, industrial, commercial, irrigation, livestock watering, recreational, fish and wildlife, fire protection, and augmentation uses. 8. Jurisdiction: The Water Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this application pursuant to 37-92-302(2), and 37-90-137(6), C.R.S. 9. Description of plan for augmentation: A.Groundwater to be augmented: Part of the Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater requested herein as described in paragraph 5 above. B. Water rights to be used for augmentation: Return flows from the use of not nontributary and nontributary groundwater and direct discharge of nontributary ground water. C. Statement of plan for augmentation: Applicants will use approximately 7 acre-feet per year of the Upper Dawson water through individual wells for inhouse, irrigation, and stockwatering use on up to seven residential lots to be located on the 73 acres of the Subject Property owned by Troy and Tracey Stephenson. The wells will operate at a rate of flow of 15 gpm. For purposes of this application, each well will withdraw 1 acre-foot per year for inhouse use (0.4 acre-feet), irrigation of approximately 9000 square-feet of lawn, garden, and trees (0.55 acre-feet), and stockwatering of 4 large domestic animals (0.05 acre-feet). Applicants reserve the right to amend these amounts and values based on final planning. Sewage treatment for inhouse use will be provided by a non-evaporative septic system. Consumptive use associated with in-house use will be approximately 10% of water used and it is estimated that approximately 10% of water used for irrigation will be returned to the stream system. Stockwatering use is 100% consumptively used. Before any other type of sewage treatment is proposed in the future, including incorporation of the lots into a central sewage collection and treatment system, Applicants, or successors and assigns, will amend this decree prior to such change and thereby provide notice of the proposed change to other water users by publication procedures required by then existing law. During pumping Applicants will replace actual depletions to the affected stream system pursuant to 37-90-137(9)(c), C.R.S. Applicants estimate that depletions may occur to the Cherry Creek stream system. Return flows from use of the subject water rights via that stream system will accrue to the South Platte River system, and those return flows are sufficient to replace actual depletions while the subject groundwater is being pumped. Applicants will reserve an adequate amount of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property to meet post-pumping augmentation requirements. 10. Remarks: A. Applicants claim the right to withdraw more than the average annual amounts estimated in paragraph 5B above pursuant to Rule 8A of the Statewide Rules, 2 C.C.R. 402-7.B. Although Applicants have estimated the amounts of water available for withdrawal from the subject aquifers based on estimates of relative values for specific yield and saturated thickness, Applicants request the right to revise the estimates upward or downward, based on better or revised data, without the necessity of amending this application or republishing the same. C. Applicants will withdraw part of the not nontributary Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater requested herein under the plan of augmentation requested herein pursuant to 37-90-137(9)(c), C.R.S. WHEREFORE, Applicants pray that this Court enter a Decree: 11.Granting the application herein and awarding the water rights claimed herein as final water rights, except as to those issues for which jurisdiction of the Court will be specifically retained;12.

Statement of plan for augmentation: Applicants will use the Upper Dawson water to supply up to 3 residences and for use in a barn and stable, through the existing and new wells, as necessary. The well or wells will operate at rate of flow necessary to withdraw the full amount herein. For purposes of this application, it is estimated that residences will require 1 acre-foot per year for inhouse use (0.4 acre-feet), irrigation/limited to 8000 square-feet of lawn, garden, and trees (0.5 acre-feet), and stockwatering of 8 large domestic animals (0.1 acre-feet). The remaining Upper Dawson aquifer water will be used in a barn and stable for sanitary facilities (0.3 acre-feet), fire protection (0.2 acre-feet), stockwatering of up to 50 large domestic animals (1 acre-foot) and irrigation of one acre of lawn, garden, pasture, or trees (2 acre-feet). Applicants reserve the right to amend these values without amending this application or republishing the same. Sewage treatment for inhouse and sanitary facilities use will be provided by a non-evaporative septic system. Consumptive use associated with that use will be approximately 10% of water used and it is estimated that approximately 10% of water used for irrigation will be returned to the stream system. Stockwatering and fire protection will be considered to be 100% consumptively used. Before any other type of sewage treatment is proposed in the future, including incorporation of the lots into a central sewage collection and treatment system, Applicants, or successors and assigns, will amend this decree prior to such change and thereby provide notice of the proposed change to other water users by publication procedures required by then existing law. During pumping Applicants will replace actual depletions to the affected stream system pursuant to 37-90-137(9)(c), C.R.S. Applicants estimate that depletions occur to the Cherry Creek stream system. Return flows from use of the subject water will accrue to the South Platte River stream system via that stream system, and those return flows are sufficient to replace actual depletions while the subject groundwater is being pumped. Applicants will reserve an equal amount of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property to meet future post pumping augmentation requirements.10. Remarks: A. Applicants claim the right to withdraw more than the average annual amounts estimated in paragraph 5B above pursuant to Rule 8A of the Statewide Rules, 2 C.C.R. 402-7.B. Although Applicants have estimated the amounts of water available for withdrawal from the subject aquifers based on estimates of relative values for specific yield and saturated thickness, Applicants request the right to revise the estimates upward or downward, based on better or revised data, without the necessity of amending this application or republishing the same. C. Applicants will withdraw part of the not nontributary Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater requested herein through the existing and new wells under the plan of augmentation requested herein pursuant to 37-90-137(9)(c), C.R.S.

APPLICATION FOR RIGHTS TO NONTRIBUTARY GROUNDWATER IN THE LARAMIE-FOX HILLS AQUIFER, IN WELD COUNTY, COLORADO. 2. Claim to Non-Tributary Ground Water in the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer: Applicant is the owner of 791.87 acres of land in Weld County, more specifically described in paragraph 4 below (the “Property”), and through this application seeks a determination of its right to withdraw nontributary ground water in the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer underlying the Property pursuant to Colo.Rev.Stat. § 37-90-137(4). Applicant asserts that the withdrawal of Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer ground water in accordance with paragraph 5 herein will not result in material injury to the vested water rights of others and will not, within 100 years, deplete the flow of any natural stream at an annual rate greater than one-tenth of one percent of the annual rate of withdrawal and the ground water is nontributary as defined in Colo.Rev.Stat. § 37-90-103(10.5). 3. Legal description of overlying land: The Property consists of two contiguous parcels owned by the Applicant overlying the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer. Applicant owns approximately 311.87 acres of land located in the E ½ of Section 35, Twp. 2N, Range 65W, 6th P.M. in Weld County (“Parcel A”). A detailed legal description of Parcel A is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Applicant also owns 480 acres of land adjacent to Parcel A located in the W ½ of Section 35, Twp. 2N, Range 65W, and the NE ¼ of Section 34, Twp. 2N, 6th P.M. in Weld County (“Parcel B”). A detailed description of Parcel B is attached as Exhibit B. 4. Location of wells, source, depth, pumping rate, and well fields: Applicant holds Well Permit Nos. 54648-F, for an existing well on Parcel A, which is subject to the decree in Case No. 99CW179, and 61225-F for a potential well on Parcel B that has not been drilled. (A) Location: Well LFH-1 (Permit No. 54648-F) is located approximately 2080 feet from the south section line and 1300 feet from the east section line of the NE ¼ of the SE ¼, Section 35, Twp. 2N, Range 65W, 6th P.M. in Weld County. The proposed well permitted under Well Permit No. 61225-F is located approximately 2100 feet from the south section line and 3960 feet from the east section line of the NE ¼ of the SW ¼, Section 35, Twp. 2N, Range 65W, 6th P.M. in Weld County. (B) Source: Nontributary groundwater from the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer underlying Applicant’s property. (C) Depth: Full penetration of the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer, estimated to be 780 feet. (D) Pumping rate: As necessary to efficiently withdraw the entire amount of nontributary groundwater legally available to the Applicant. Applicant seeks the right to

construct additional wells on the Property as necessary to withdraw the nontributary ground water from the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer to which it is allowed under Colo.Rev.Stat. § 37-90-137(4). Applicant seeks a determination, pursuant to Rule 11.B of the Statewide Non-Tributary Ground Water Rules, 2 C.C.R. 402-7, that Applicant has the right to withdraw all of the legally available ground water underlying the Property through existing wells and/or any additional wells that may be completed in the future. Applicant will apply for additional well permits prior to construction of any additional wells pursuant to Colo.Rev.Stat. § 37-90-137(10). Applicant waives any 600-foot spacing rule as described in Colo.Rev.Stat. § 37-90-137(2) for any well located on the overlying land. 5. Amount Claimed: Applicant seeks a decree confirming its right to withdraw nontributary ground water underlying the Property in the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer in accordance with Colo.Rev.Stat. § 37-90-137(4). The total estimated average annual amounts of withdrawal from the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer under both Parcel A and Parcel B is estimated to be total of 184.1 acre-feet. Applicant requests the right to revise the estimated amounts of water available from the subject aquifer upward or downward, based on better or updated data, without the necessity of amending or republishing this Application. Applicant requests confirmation of its right to withdraw the ground water in the subject aquifer in excess of the average annual amount determined, so long as the sum of the total withdrawals from the aquifer does not exceed the product of the total number of years since the date of issuance of the applicable well permit or the date of this Court’s decree, whichever occurs first, and the amount of the average annual withdrawal. 6. Proposed Use: Applicant intends to use the nontributary groundwater claimed herein for all beneficial purposes, including domestic, livestock, commercial, irrigation, augmentation, fire protection, fish and wildlife, recreation, and industrial, which includes dust control, egg processing and washing, and poultry water uses associated with the operation of a chicken and egg production farm. Such water may be used, re-used, successively used, leased, sold or otherwise disposed of in the foregoing beneficial uses. The right of successive use shall include the use and claiming of credit for any return flows generated, subject only to the provisions of Colo.Rev.Stat. § 37-82-106, and to Applicant’s obligation to consume no more than ninety-eight percent of the nontributary water withdrawn annually from the wells described herein, pursuant to Rule 8 of the Denver Basin Rules. Such water may be withdrawn for immediate use, for storage for subsequent use, for exchange, augmentation, or replacement of depletions. Such use and means of use may occur either on the overlying land or at other locations. 7. Remarks: The right to withdraw nontributary ground water underlying Parcel A was determined by decree in Case No. 99CW179, Division 1 Water Court. An existing well located on Parcel A was repermitted pursuant to the decree, under well permit no. 54648-F with an average annual withdrawal of 72.5 acre feet. Applicant subsequently purchased Parcel B, which is adjacent to Parcel A. Applicant also holds a permit for a proposed well under Well Permit No. 61225-F for an annual withdrawal of 111.6 acre-feet of nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer ground water underlying Parcel B. Applicant is seeking a new decree determining that it is allowed to withdraw 184.1 acre-feet of nontributary groundwater from the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer based on ownership of the combined 791.87-acre parcel. Applicant will seek to vacate the decree in Case No. 99CW179 upon entry of the new decree. WHEREFORE, Applicant requests this Court to enter a decree: 1. Granting the Application and determining rights to withdraw nontributary ground water from the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer; 2. Determining that Applicant has complied with Colo.Rev.Stat. § 37-90-137(4) and water is legally available for withdrawal by Applicant from existing wells and/or any additional wells that may be permitted in the future; 3. Retaining jurisdiction to provide for adjustment of the amount of water available for withdrawal by Applicant based on actual local aquifer characteristics and authorizing Applicant to invoke the Court’s retained jurisdiction at any time after such data becomes available, pursuant to Colo.Rev.Stat. § 37-92-305(11); 4. Determining that the ground water in the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer underlying the Property is nontributary ground water and that vested or conditionally decreed water rights of others will not be materially injured by withdrawal of such ground water; and 5.
