Remarks: These appropriations by the CWCB, on behalf of the people of the State of Colorado, are made pursuant to sections 37-92-102(3) and (4) and 37-92-103(3), (4) and (10), C.R.S. (2014). The purpose of the CWCB’s appropriations is to preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree. At its regular meeting on May 21, 2015, the CWCB determined, pursuant to section 37-92-102(3)(c), C.R.S. (2014), that the natural environment will be preserved to a reasonable degree by the water available for the appropriations to be made; that there is a natural environment that can be preserved to a reasonable degree with the CWCB’s water rights herein, if granted; and that such environment can exist without material injury to water rights. 15CW3158 Jordan’s Greenhouse, 900 N.

Legal Description: In Case No. 00CW264, Westminster obtained a decree for a conditional appropriative rights of exchange involving the exchange of water from the Manhart Ditch headgate located as described in paragraph 2.A., above, to the Church Ditch, located as described in paragraph 2.B., above, the Farmers’ High Line Canal, located as described in paragraph 2.C., above, and the Croke Canal, located as described in paragraph 2.D., above. iv. Source: Clear Creek, Ralston Creek and Leyden Creek, all tributary to the South Platte River. v. Appropriation Date: December 28, 2000, Case No. 00CW264. vi. Amount: Pursuant to the decree entered in Case No. 00CW264, Westminster’s Manhart Ditch Exchange is limited to specific monthly flow rates (in c.f.s.) as set forth in the table below:

April May June July August Sept. Oct.

c.f.s. 0.09 0.09 0.19 0.22 0.12 0.04 0.04

In accordance with the decree in Case No. 00CW264, these limitations are reflective of the amount of depletions which would have occurred during the irrigation season. As such, when Westminster is diverting by exchange subject to the monthly limitations set forth above, the required return flows are left in the stream and the resulting diversions by exchange are fully consumable. vii. Use: Augmentation and all beneficial uses of the municipal water system of Westminster, including but not limited to municipal, irrigation, domestic, commercial, industrial, recreation, and fish and wildlife, and the right to accomplish such uses through exchange and storage, or, replacement pursuant to a court decreed plan for augmentation or administratively approved substitute supply plan. viii. Remarks: For purposes of the Manhart Ditch Exchange originally adjudicated in Case No. 00CW264, Westminster no longer seeks diligence as to the conditionally decreed “exchange to” points on Leyden Creek, but fully intends to maintain diligence as to all other structures and diversion points associated with these exchanges on Clear Creek and Ralston Creek. 4. Detailed outline of what has been done toward completion of the appropriation and application to a beneficial use: A. During the diligence period, Westminster operated

the Manhart Ditch Exchange in accordance with the requirements of the decree in Case No. 00CW264. Specifically, in August of 2015, 0.12 c.f.s. of water was diverted by exchange pursuant to the Manhart Ditch Exchange from the Manhart Ditch headgate to the Farmers’ High Line Canal headgate on Clear Creek and applied to beneficial use. Relevant accounting regarding the operation of this exchange is attached as Exhibit A. B. The Manhart Ditch Exchange decreed in Case No. 00CW264 is part of Westminster's Clear Creek Water Supply System, an integrated system under § 37-92-30 l(4)(b), C.R.S. During the diligence period, Westminster has continued the development of its Clear Creek Water Supply System. Activities have included, among other things: acquisition of additional interests in water on Clear Creek and its tributaries and the South Platte River; exercising conditional exchanges and making portions absolute or obtaining diligence decrees on the remaining conditional portions; completing negotiations on an amended contract for the construction of an additional storage vessel; completing negotiations on an intergovernmental agreement to minimize Jim Baker Reservoir facility impacts from regional transportation projects; construction and operation of an aeration system related to Jim Baker Reservoir; participation in Lower Clear Creek/Colorado Agricultural Ditch bifurcation structure project; and, participation in numerous Water Court cases for purposes of protecting, maintaining and developing Westminster's Water Supply System. Expenses associated with these activities were incurred during the diligence period. A map setting forth the general locations of relevant structures in Westminster’s Water Supply System is attached as Exhibit B. C. During the diligence period, Westminster continued to operate under the carriage agreement with the Farmers' High Line Canal and Reservoir Company for the use of excess capacity in the Farmers' High Line Canal. This agreement allows Westminster to carry additional water through the Farmers' High Line Canal, including water exchanged to the Farmers' High Line Canal in accordance with the decree in Case No. 00CW264. Westminster is contractually obligated to pay an annual fee for use of the Farmers' High Line Canal. Westminster has continually made these payments during the diligence period. D. During the diligence period, Westminster has also paid funds in the form of ditch assessments to the Church Ditch Water Authority, the Farmers' High Line Canal and Reservoir Company, FRICO, and the Manhart Ditch Company. Said funds have been used, in part, to maintain the ditches necessary for operation of the conditional exchanges. E. During the diligence period, Westminster has diligently operated its portfolio of water rights, including appropriative rights of exchange. Westminster has obtained or is in the process of obtaining decrees from the Water Court making portions of various other conditional exchanges absolute and obtaining findings of diligence as to its water right portfolio. Costs associated with these efforts have been incurred during the diligence period. F. During the diligence period, Westminster has participated in a number of water court proceedings in an effort, in part, to protect and maintain return flows to Big Dry Creek and the Clear Creek and South Platte River basins. Costs associated with these efforts were incurred during the diligence period. 5. If Claim to make Absolute in whole or part: In Case No. 00CW264, the Manhart Ditch Exchange was conditionally decreed for varying monthly flow rates, with a maximum flow rate of 0.22 c.f.s. During this diligence period, Westminster diverted 0.12 c.f.s. under the Manhart Ditch Exchange in August of 2015 and applied the exchanged water to beneficial use within the City of Westminster’s Municipal Water Supply System. This exchange occurred between the Manhart Ditch headgate and the Farmers’ High Line Canal headgate on Clear Creek. Westminster has therefore made 0.12 c.f.s. of the Manhart Ditch Exchange ABSOLUTE. The remaining 0.10 c.f.s. of the Manhart Ditch Exchange remains decreed CONDITIONAL. 6. Name(s) and address(es) of owner(s) or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: The Manhart Ditch headgate, and the Church Ditch, Farmers’ High Line Canal and Croke Canal headgates on Clear Creek are all existing, not new structures. There is no need to modify said structures in order to accomplish the conditional exchanges. For purposes of the Manhart Ditch Exchange originally adjudicated in Case No. 00CW264, Westminster no longer seeks diligence as to the conditionally decreed “exchange to” points on Leyden Creek, but fully intends to maintain diligence as to all other structures and diversion points associated with these exchanges on Clear Creek and Ralston Creek. On information and belief, new or modified diversion structures from Ralston Creek may be located on lands owned by:

conditions of the decree entered for the Poudre Prairie Mutual Reservoir and Irrigation Company in Case No. 96CW658 on June 15, 1998, which involved a ditch-wide analysis of the GIC water rights. APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHTS 3. Decreed Water Rights for Which Change Is Sought: a. Name of Structures: Greeley Canal No. 3 (“Canal No. 3”) and Fossil Creek Reservoir. The water rights that are the subject of this application are represented by Greeley’s ownership of 77.8 of the 519.7 outstanding shares of stock in the GIC. GIC owns a 5/8 interest in the water rights decreed to the Canal No. 3. The remaining 3/8 interest in the water rights decreed to Canal No. 3 is owned by Greeley and is not the subject of this application. b. Information from Previous Decrees, Including Amounts and Appropriation Dates: 1) A decree was entered in Civil Action No. 320 in the District Court, Larimer County, Colorado, on April 11, 1882. The source of water is the Cache la Poudre River. The decreed use is for irrigation and domestic purposes with the following appropriation dates and amounts:

Priority Appropriation Date Amount (c.f.s) Original Constr.(Priority No. 35) 4/1/1870 52.00 First Enlargement (Priority No. 46) 10/1/1871 41.00 Second Enlargement (Priority No. 50) 7/15/1872 63.13 Third Enlargement (Priority No. 58) 5/15/1873 16.67

Canal No. 3 and the above water rights are jointly owned, with 5/8 interest belonging to the GIC and 3/8 interest belonging to Greeley. 2) The GIC also owns 60 preferred rights in Fossil Creek Reservoir. Fossil Creek Reservoir was decreed in Civil Action No. 1591 in the District Court of Larimer County, Colorado, on December 4, 1909, Civil Action No. 2031 in the District Court of Larimer County, Colorado, on April 22, 1922, and Civil Action No. 11217 in the District Court of Larimer County, Colorado, on September 10, 1953. Fossil Creek Reservoir stores water from the Cache la Poudre River. The water rights decreed to Fossil Creek Reservoir are as follows:

3) A decree was entered in Case No. 1996CW658 on June 15, 1998 (hereinafter the “Poudre Prairie Decree”) that quantified the consumptive use of the GIC water rights on a ditch-wide basis. The Poudre Prairie Decree changed 67.75 shares of the GIC for multiple uses including augmentation, replacement, exchange, irrigation, domestic, commercial, industrial, fire protection, water of livestock, recreational, piscatorial, and wildlife propagation. 4) Relying on the ditch-wide analysis used in the Poudre Prairie Decree, Greeley previously changed 47.32 GIC shares in Case No. 1999CW232, decreed June 29, 2004 in Weld County District Court, Colorado, Water Division 1. c. Legal Description of Structures: The decreed location of the Canal No. 3 headgate is on the south side of the Cache la Poudre River in the Southeast quarter of Section 32, Township 6 North, Range 66 West, at a point 35 degrees 30 minutes West from the Southeast corner of said Section 32. Fossil Creek Reservoir’s decreed location is in parts of Sections 9, 10, 15, 16, and 17, Township 6 North, Range 68 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County. d. Decreed Source of Water: 1) Canal No. 3: Cache la Poudre River. 2) Fossil Creek Reservoir: Cache la Poudre River and Fossil Creek, Box Elder Creek, and Cooper and Ames Sloughs, tributaries of the Cache la Poudre River, diverted in part through feeder ditches decreed in the Revised Final Findings and Decree in Civil Action No. 1591. 4. Proposed Change: Greeley proposes to change the type, place, and manner of use of the water rights attributable to its 77.8 GIC shares. No change in the point of diversion is requested herein. Greeley seeks the right to use the water rights by direct use, storage, or exchange. Pursuant to GIC’s

bylaws, the GIC Board of Directors has approved the change of use of water rights requested herein. A description of the shares Greeley is changing in this case is attached to the application as Exhibit A. The Poudre Prairie Decree quantified and decreed the historical use of the GIC water rights based on a study period of 1950 through 1979. This period encompassed wet years, dry years, and years of average supply. The Court determined that, during the study period, the average annual diversion of the GIC direct flow water rights was 11,400 acre-feet and the acreage irrigated with the GIC water rights was on average 3,501 acres. The average historical consumptive use per year per GIC share was 10.31 acre-feet. The average historical consumptive use per year for Greeley’s 77.8 shares is therefore 802.12 acre-feet. The Poudre Prairie Decree quantified the GIC water rights based on a ditch-wide analysis and provided that other owners of shares in the GIC system may rely on the findings made in that decree regarding historical consumptive use, amount and location of use, and dried-up historically irrigated acreage and related matters determined therein in any future applications for change of the subject water rights reflected by GIC shares. Those determinations shall be res judicata in the absence of a showing of subsequent events which were not addressed by the Court therein and which are germane to the question of injury. There have been no subsequent events since the ditch-wide analysis was completed, which were not considered by the Court at the time the Poudre Prairie Decree was entered, that would result in injury. Following continued diversions of the water rights into Canal No. 3 at the original point of diversion, Greeley will use the water for the alternate types and places of use described in Paragraph 4(a) and (b) hereof, and will re-divert the water rights for the alternate types and places of use at the points of re-diversion described in Paragraph 4(c) hereof. a. Alternate Types of Use: In addition to the originally decreed uses, Greeley will use the water rights for all municipal purposes, including but not limited to domestic, irrigation, watering of lawns, parks, and grounds, commercial, industrial, mechanical, manufacturing, fire protection, sewage treatment, power generation, street sprinkling, recreational, fish and wildlife propagation, replacement of lake and reservoir evaporation, exchange (including further exchange within Greeley’s system and with other water users), maintenance of adequate storage reserves, maintenance of historical return flows as required by judicial or administrative order, wetlands maintenance, environmental mitigation and restoration, and replacement, augmentation, or substitution, by direct use or exchange or by storage and subsequent release. Greeley seeks the right to fully consume, whether by direct use, storage and subsequent release, reuse, successive use, further exchange, or disposition, all water associated with the subject shares that remains after the required return flow obligations have been met. Greeley may use, reuse, and successively use water from the 77.8 shares by exchange pursuant to, but not limited to, the rights of substitution and exchange, including storage, decreed in Case Nos. 1999CW231, 1999CW234, and 2005CW326. b. Alternate Places of Use: The water will be used by Greeley within Greeley’s existing or future service area, including, without limitation, use of the subject shares for irrigation of lands within such service area not historically irrigated by such rights, or by other water users in the South Platte River Basin to whom Greeley may lease or otherwise dispose of the water. c. Points of Downstream Re-Diversion and Storage: Under the proposed change, water from the 77.8 shares will continue to be diverted through the Canal No. 3 headgate. Following delivery through the Canal No. 3 headgate, the 77.8 shares may be released to the Cache la Poudre River at structures located on the Canal No. 3 including the F-Street Release Structure, the 23rd Avenue Release Structure, the 35th Avenue Release Structure, and the 16th Street Return Structure. Greeley claims the right to re-divert the water from the 77.8 GIC shares at downstream points of re-diversion and storage, including, without limitation, the points listed below. Greeley acknowledges that the entry of any decree in this case shall not grant any rights to Greeley to divert water at structures in which Greeley currently has no ownership interest or other right to use. Prior to use of any such structures, Greeley shall obtain the necessary use rights from the owners or controllers of the structures. 1) Boyd and Freeman Ditch headgate, the decreed location for which is on the South side of the Cache la Poudre River in Section 34, Township 6 North, Range 66 West, 6th P.M. 2) Ogilvy Canal headgate, which is located on the north bank of the Cache la Poudre River in the SE1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 4, Township 5 North, Range 65 West, 6th P.M. 3) 8th Street Reservoir: to be constructed in parts of the N1/2 of the SE1/4 of the SW1/4, the S1/2 of the NE1/4 of the SW1/4, the N1/2 of the SW1/4 of the SE1/4 and the S1/2 of the NW1/4 of

the SE1/4 all in Section 4, Township 5 North, Range 65 West, 6th P.M, as described in Case No. 1999CW234. 4) Flatiron Reservoir Nos. 1-5: Flatiron Reservoir Nos. 1 and 2 are constructed and Flatiron Reservoir Nos. 3-5 are to be constructed in parts of Section 36, Township 6 North, Range 66 West, 6th P.M., as described in Case No. 1999CW234. 5) F Street Reservoir: to be constructed in parts of the NE1/4 of the SE1/4 and the portion of land lying south of the railroad in the SE1/4 of the NE1/4 all in Section 34, Township 6 North, Range 66 West, 6th P.M., as described in Case No. 1999CW234. 6) Such other places of storage that Greeley may acquire a right to store water, including without limitation, 35th Avenue Reservoir, more particularly described in Case No. 1998CW476, decreed in Weld County District Court, Water Division 1. 5. Return Flows: a. Greeley will replace the historical return flow obligations for the changed shares, which include both a surface and subsurface component. Greeley intends to use the methodology decreed in the Poudre Prairie Decree to determine the surface and subsurface return flow obligations for the changed shares. Greeley will maintain the historical return flows with water attributable to changed GIC shares and other water rights owned or controlled by Greeley that are legally available for such use. b. Greeley claims an appropriative right to use the historical return flows for the uses described above. Therefore, Greeley will maintain the historical return flows attributable to the changed shares only at times when there is a downstream call senior to the priority of this appropriation. Greeley claims the right to fully consume for the uses described above any water attributable to the 77.8 shares not required to replace historical return flows. 1) Date of appropriation: April 16, 2014. 2) How appropriation was initiated: By formation of the requisite intent to appropriate together with overt acts manifesting such intent, including but not limited to, acquisition of the 77.8 shares, passage of a resolution by the Greeley Water and Sewer Board confirming the intent to appropriate, and engineering studies related to the claimed appropriation. 6. Names and addresses of owners or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: a.

D. Change of Water Rights. 1. Structure: 14.75 shares of the Lake Canal Ditch. Original Decree: Case No. CA-320; April 11, 1882; District Court, Larimer County, Colorado. Legal Description: The headgate of the Lake Canal Ditch is located on the north side of the Cache La Poudre River in the NE1/4 SE1/4 SE1/4, Section 2, Township 7 North, Range 69 West of the 6th P.M., Larimer County, Colorado. See Figure 1. Source: Cache La Poudre River. Appropriation Date: November 1, 1872. Amount: 158.35 c.f.s., Absolute. Decreed Uses: Irrigation. Amount to be changed: 14.60 c.f.s. (217.4 acre feet/yr. consumptive use). 2. Description of proposed change. Applicant seeks to change 14.75 shares of the 160 shares of Lake Canal Ditch outstanding (9.22% of the total) to add augmentation and recharge as decreed uses. Using a 23 year study period of 1990 to 2012 (see Table 1 for Lake Canal diversions), the Applicant’s consultants quantified the historical diversions, consumptive use and return flows associated with irrigation of 320 acres of corn, sugar beets and pasture grass located under the Lake Canal Ditch that will be removed as a result of the construction of Timnath Landing development. The historically irrigated land is located in Section 35, T.7N., R.68W., 6th P.M., (Figure 3). The historic consumptive use credits were calculated to be no less than 217.4 acre feet per year. Applicant’s Lake Canal Ditch shares will continue to be diverted at the Lake Canal Ditch headgate and delivered to the historic laterals where the consumptive use and return flow portions will be either applied to beneficial use on the Property, diverted to the Recharge Pits or released through an outlet pipe (the “Outlet Pipe”) to the Cache La Poudre River in the SE1/4SE1/4, Section 34, T.7N., R.68W., 6th P.M. (Figure 1), when a senior call is in effect, or released to the river and re-diverted to storage. Additional sources of replacement for return flows will be the Timnath Ponds and Recharge Pits described above, and the North Gray Reservoir and South Gray Reservoir described below. 3. Appropriation of Lake Canal Ditch return flows. The Applicant claims the return flows associated with the changed Lake Canal Ditch water right with an appropriation date of December 23, 2015, up to a maximum rate of 2.94 c.f.s. Return flows will be returned to the Cache La Poudre River when the call on the river is senior to December 23, 2015. The Applicant will retain such return flows during free river and whenever the call on the Cache La Poudre River is junior to December 23, 2015. 4. Uses. Irrigation, recreation, piscatorial, fire-fighting, dust control, construction, augmentation, exchange, recharge. E. Appropriative Rights of Exchange.

Introduction: By this Application, the CWCB requests adjudication of four natural lake level water rights to preserve the natural environment to a reasonable degree. The four natural lakes are four small ponds located within the Spottlewood Creek drainage. Spottlewood Creek is a small stream that originates in Wyoming and flows southeasterly into Colorado before reaching Coal Creek, which then flows into the Cache la Poudre River. Certain sections of Spottlewood Creek are ephemeral while others contain reliable year-round flow. The four natural lake level water rights claimed in this Application are part of a series of natural on-channel ponds located on Spottlewood Creek, and are identified here as Spottlewood Lake #s 1 through 4, with Spottlewood Lake #1 located farthest downstream on Spottlewood Creek and #4 farthest upstream. All of the four ponds contain water, at the levels claimed herein, throughout the year. Specific locations of the claimed natural lakes are provided by UTM coordinates in paragraph 4, below. General locations of each lake are depicted on the maps attached as Exhibits 1-5. Each water right is described individually below, in paragraphs 3 and 4, with details of each water right’s appropriation, amounts, and uses in paragraphs 5 through 7. 3. Name of water rights: A.

Application for Change of Water Rights, Conditional Underground Water Right, Conditional Storage Water Right, Expansion of Plan for Augmentation and Approval of Appropriative Rights of Exchange in IN ADAMS, WELD, JEFFERSON, PARK AND CLEAR CREEK COUNTIES 2. Description of application: South Adams is a special district formed under Colorado Statutes. It supplies water to Commerce City and surrounding areas from a variety of sources including water from the South Platte River alluvium and from nontributary groundwater. A map depicting South Adams’ current service area is attached as Exhibit A. A major source of South Adams’ water supply is diverted by wells completed into the South Platte River alluvium. Those wells are operated pursuant to an existing plan for augmentation originally decreed in Consolidated Case Nos. W-8440-76 and W-8517-77 and subsequent Case Nos. W-8440-76A-D (generally referred to herein as “W-8440”), and as that plan has been expanded by Case Nos. 97CW353, 00CW102, 01CW258, 07CW303 and 10CW304, and pending Case Nos. 05CW115 and 06CW285 and other future cases (collectively, the “South Adams Augmentation Plan”). South Adams seeks to: (1) change or otherwise confirm the District’s right to deliver certain of the South Adams’ water supplies to storage in Mann Lakes Reservoir for use by South Adams; (2) appropriate an underground water right for the Mann Lakes Well Field for the filling of Mann Lakes Reservoir for use by South Adams; (3) appropriate a water storage right for Mann Lakes Reservoir for use by South Adams; (4) add the Mann Lakes Well Field underground water right and the Mann Lakes Reservoir storage water right as sources of augmentation and replacement water for use in the South Adams Augmentation Plan; (5) add the Mann Lakes Well Field wells as structures to be augmented by the South Adams Augmentation Plan; (6) incorporate the operation of Mann Lakes Reservoir into the South Adams Augmentation Plan; and (7) appropriate conditional appropriative rights of exchange to permit the diversion by exchange of certain of South Adams’ water supplies to storage in Mann Lakes Reservoir and to deliver water released from Mann Lakes Reservoir to the South Platte River for exchange upstream for use by South Adams. Change of Water Rights 3. Description of water rights sought to be changed: South Adams seeks to change certain water rights previously changed and quantified in Case Nos. 01CW258 and 10CW304 (“01CW258/10CW304 Water Rights”) to allow storage of the fully-consumable water derived from the 01CW258/10CW304 Water Rights in Mann Lakes Reservoir for subsequent use by South Adams. The 01CW258/10CW304 Water Rights that are sought to be changed by this application are described as follows: 3.1 Burlington Ditch, Reservoir and Land Company: South Adams seeks to change 164.705 shares of the 1,848.327 total shares outstanding of the capital stock of the Burlington Ditch, Reservoir and Land Company, in the Little Burlington Division thereof (“Burlington Shares”) (note that although 1,848.327 shares are used herein, this number is not intended to be determinative of the actual number).

In accordance with the Court’s order in Case No. W-8440-76D, South Adams has filed this proposed expansion to its plan for augmentation under a new application bearing a new and separate case number. South Adams’ augmentation supplies are sufficient to replace the depletions caused by the pumping of the wells in the Mann Lakes Well Field, and no injury will result from the inclusion of said wells in the South Adams Augmentation Plan or from the pumping of said wells so long as out-of-priority depletions attributable to such pumping are augmented pursuant to the South Adams Augmentation Plan. Therefore, South Adams seeks a determination by the Court that the Mann Lakes Well Field wells, as described in paragraphs 5-11 above, are entitled to divert out-of-priority pursuant to the South Adams Augmentation Plan. 26. Incorporation of Mann Lakes Reservoir into the South Adams Augmentation Plan: South Adams will use Mann Lakes Reservoir and all sources of water storable therein for augmentation, replacement and all municipal purposes within the South Adams Augmentation Plan. Released water will be used for augmentation, replacement and municipal purposes directly, by exchange pursuant to the appropriative rights of exchange claimed herein, or after subsequent diversion or re-diversion to storage for subsequent release for such purposes.

storm water retention and mitigation, and industrial and commercial, including irrigation uses at the J.M. Shafer Generating Station. H. Amount claimed: 29.16 acre-feet, conditional. I. Surface area of high water line: 4.821 acres. J. Total capacity of reservoir in acre-feet: 29.16 acre-feet. Active capacity: 29.16 acre-feet. Dead storage: 0 acre-feet. Applicant will store water in JMS Storm Water Pond No. 1 in priority and out of priority whenever there is a storm event, and Applicant will augment all out of priority depletions associated with storage in JMS Storm Water Pond No. 1. There might be times when all water so stored is fully consumed. A general location map associated with this Application is attached hereto as Exhibit A, and the location of the JMS Storm Water Pond No. 1 and the J.M. Shafer Generating Station are indicated on the map attached hereto as Exhibit B. 3. Application for Change of Water Right: Applicant is changing a total of 212 shares of capital stock (“Applicant’s Fulton Water”) out of a total of 7,185 shares outstanding (7,200 issued) of the Fulton Irrigating Ditch Company (the “Company”), which owns a decree for a total 204.18 cfs for irrigation use for the Fulton Ditch with an adjudication date of April 28, 1883 in Case No. 6009, District Court, Arapahoe County. There are three priorities decreed to the Fulton Ditch: (1) Priority No. 8 (original construction) in the amount of 79.7 cfs, with an appropriation date of May 1, 1865; (2) Priority No. 43 (First Enlargement) in the amount of 74.25 cfs with an appropriation date of July 8, 1876; and (3) Priority No. 51 (Second Enlargement) in the amount of 50.23 cfs, with an appropriation date of November 5, 1879. Applicant’s shares represent approximately 2.95% of the water rights and related interests in the Company, which is equal to a total of approximately 6.025 cfs of water under the three Fulton Ditch priorities. The source of water for the Fulton Ditch is the South Platte River, and the point of diversion is located in the NE1/4 NE1/4 SE1/4 of Section 17, T.2S., R.67W., 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado, pursuant to the decree in Case No. 12CW180, District Court in and for Water Division No. 1. The original decree described the point of diversion as being near section 9, between sections 16 and 17, T.2S., R.67W., 6th P.M. Detailed description of proposed change: Applicant seeks to quantify the historical consumptive use associated with the Applicant’s Fulton Water and change the use of the resulting consumptive use water to be used for augmentation (replacement) use, to replace out of priority depletions. Currently, such out of priority depletions will be associated with: (a) storage and use of storm water that drains into the JMS Storm Water Pond No. 1 described in paragraph 2 above; and (b) diversions at the wells described in paragraph 4.A.II below for use at the J.M. Shafer Generating Station. Applicant also seeks the right to store the historical consumptive use amount of Applicant’s Fulton Water in the Perry Pit East Reservoir (formerly known as Wattenberg Reservoir) and/or the Holton Lake Reservoir No. 1, both of which are described in paragraph 4.D below, for subsequent release for such augmentation/replacement use. An analysis of the historical consumptive use of Applicant’s Fulton Water has been completed. The shares were historically used to irrigate land indicated on Exhibit C, attached hereto, consisting of an average of 105.7 acres located within Sections 17 and 20, and an average of 101.8 acres located within Section 18, T.1N., R.66W., 6th P.M. The average annual net depletion (historical consumptive use) associated with Applicant’s Fulton Water is equal to 326.7 acre-feet per year. The average monthly diversion, consumptive use, and irrigation return amounts associated with Applicant’s Fulton Water are set forth on the attached Exhibits D – F. Non-irrigation season return flows will be replaced from storage as described in paragraph 4 below. Applicant has secured dry-up covenants with the former owners of Applicant’s Fulton Water. The location of the Fulton Ditch headgate and the approximate location of historical use of the rights and proposed place of use and place of storage are shown in Exhibit A. Summaries of records of actual diversions of the Fulton Ditch water rights are attached hereto as Exhibit G. 4. Application for Approval of Plan for Augmentation, including Exchanges: By this application, Applicant will augment out of priority depletions resulting from the storage and use of water in JMS Storm Water Pond No. 1, described in paragraph 2 above, and resulting from the diversion and use of water from the wells described in paragraph 4.A.II below. A. Names of Structures to be Augmented: I. JMS Storm Water Pond No. 1, described in paragraph 2 above. II. Wells 1, 3,4, 5, and 13, which are owned by the City of Fort Lupton and used in part by Applicant pursuant to the terms of that certain Annexation Agreement dated December 6, 1991, between Thermo Carbonic, Inc., Rennoc Corporation, and the City of Fort Lupton and the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, Judgment and Decree of the Water Court, Case No. 03CW119, District Court in and for Water

Shafer Generating Station for industrial, commercial and irrigation uses. All water stored out of priority, and all out of priority depletions resulting from such well pumping, will be replaced with Applicant’s Fulton Water described in paragraph 3 above, as changed and quantified herein. Such replacement will be made by diverting Applicant’s Fulton Water at the Fulton Ditch headgate and returning Applicant’s Fulton Water, less ditch loss, to the South Platte River through one or more of any Fulton Ditch augmentation station. Such returned water will be used immediately to replace out of priority storage and/or depletions, and/or it will be exchanged into storage for later augmentation use. In addition, Applicant’s portion of irrigation season return flows will be returned to the South Platte River through one or more of any Fulton Ditch augmentation station (non-irrigation season return flows will be stored and subsequently released to the South Platte River). D. Statement of exchanges: Applicant will operate exchanges of water from the Fort Lupton Augmentation Station upstream to any of the diversion points for storage in the Perry Pit East Reservoir, and/or the diversion points for Holton Lake Reservoir No. 1, and/or to the points of depletion of the wells described in paragraph 4.A.II above. Applicant will also operate an exchange of water from the Central Augmentation Station upstream to the Perry Pit East Reservoir. Applicant will subsequently use the water so stored to augment out of priority storage and depletions and to replace non-irrigation season irrigation return flows. The rate of the exchange is 6.69 cfs, conditional, with an appropriation date of December 31, 2015. The source of water is Applicant’s Fulton Water described in paragraph 3, above. The downstream termini of the exchanges are located at: i. the Fort Lupton Augmentation Station, located at the 72” storm sewer outfall at a headwall in SW1/4 SE1/4 of Section 31, T.2N., R.66W., 6th P.M., a distance of approximately 1,320 feet from the south section line and 1,720 feet from the east section line, the outfall of which is located at a point in the SE1/4 NW1/4 Section 7, T.1N., R.66.W., 6th P.M., approximately 2,590 from north line and 1,640 from west line. ii. the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District Augmentation Station (“CCWCD Augmentation Station”), located in the NW1/4 of Section 8, T.1N., R.66W., 6th P.M. Applicant may use other Fulton Ditch augmentation stations in the future that return Fulton Ditch water to the South Platte River below any of the upstream termini described below. The upstream termini of the exchanges are located at: i. Perry Pit East Reservoir, the location of which was described in Water Court Case No. 12CW180 as follows: “located in the NE1/4 of Section 25, T.1N., R.67W. of the 6th P.M., and the NW1/4 of Section 30, T.1N., R.66W. of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado.

Fiddlers Green Cir., Ste 1000, Greenwood Village, CO 80111, (303)796-2626, [email protected]); APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT TO PLANS FOR AUGMENTATION AND APPROPRIATIVE RIGHT OF EXCHANGE IN JEFFERSON, ADAMS, AND WELD COUNTIES. 2. Introduction/Purpose of Application: Coors Brewing Company (“Coors”) seeks a limited

amendment to its decreed augmentation plans to add provisions for reuse, successive use, and disposition to Coors’s fully consumable water rights decreed pursuant to its plans for augmentation in Consolidated Case Nos. W-8036(75) and W-8256(76) (“Coors Augmentation Plan I”), 89CW234 (“Coors Augmentation Plan II”), and 99CW236 (“Coors Augmentation Plan III”), and a related appropriative right of exchange. The terms and conditions of the decrees require Coors to fully replace depletions from its out-of-priority diversions (after offset for return flows), using deliveries of replacement water from decreed sources. Thus, the three augmentation plans authorize Coors to fully consume the water diverted out of priority at its Golden Brewery, so long as the return flow offset and replacement obligations are met. Under some circumstances, Coors has additional water available from these fully consumable diversions after it has provided sufficient return flows and replacement water to fulfill its decreed obligations to replace out-of-priority depletions. For many years, Coors has maximized the beneficial use of this water by leasing effluent to other water users for various uses, typically in substitute water supply plans, which the State Engineer approved until recently. This application seeks a limited amendment to Coors’s three augmentation plans to allow for the reuse, successive use, and disposition of this fully consumable water at locations downstream from where the effluent accrues to Clear Creek, or by limited exchange to the Rocky Mountain Ditch or the Farmers High Line Canal, to confirm that Coors may continue to lease this excess water, when available, to other water users pursuant to the terms and conditions described herein. 3. Summary of Existing Decreed Plans for Augmentation: A. Dates of Previous Decrees: i. 4-15-1977 for Consolidated Case Nos. W-8036(75) and W-8256(76), as amended by decree entered 7-20-1990 in Case No. 88CW271 (“Coors Augmentation Plan I”); ii. 4-30-1993 for Case No. 89CW234 (“Coors Augmentation Plan II”); iii. 8-8-2007 for Case No. 99CW236 (“Coors Augmentation Plan III”). B. Augmented Structures: Coors’s augmentation plans provide for Coors to divert water out of priority, and to fully consume its diversions once required return flows and replacements are made, from the following structures: i.

Coors’s interests (totaling 14.88 c.f.s) in various water rights decreed to the Slough Association Ditches from Clear Creek, with approp. dates from 2-25-1860 through 5-5-1874, as permitted by Coors Augmentation Plan I. Replacement water from the Slough Association Ditches is delivered through Augmentation Station No. 10 to Clear Creek at a point on the South Bank of Clear Creek in the SW1/4 NE1/4 NW1/4 SW1/4 of S20, T3S, R69W, Jefferson County. g. South Side Ditch. Exercise of Coors’s 0.87 c.f.s. interest in water rights decreed to the South Side Ditch from Clear Creek, with an approp. date 5-16-1860 (Priority No. 3), as permitted by Coors Augmentation Plan I. The South Side Ditch was decreed in the District Court of Arapahoe County on 10-4-1884, for diversion on the south bank of Clear Creek in the NW1/4, SW1/4, S21, T3S, R69W, in Jefferson County. ii. Storage Rights: a. Jefferson Storage System: Water released from the Jefferson Storage System as those facilities are described in the Decrees for Case Nos. W-152-73 and 88CW206, and summarized in Section 3.B.ii above. b. George R. Stewart Reservoir: 1) Decree Date: 10-9-1914 by the District Court of the now City and County of Denver, Case No. 41340. 2) Approp. Date: 10-4-1889. 3) Source: Chesapeake Creek. 4) Capacity: 47.59 acre-feet. iii. Other Water Rights: Coors’s decreed augmentation plans also include as replacement water sources other foreign, developed, and nontributary water sources that Coors owns or controls, which may be used, reused, and successively used to extinction and may be leased or sold to other water users, on or off Coors’s Property. While Coors believes that no amendments to its augmentation plan decrees are necessary for these water sources (and diversions thereby augmented) to be reused, successively used, and disposed of, Coors may seek confirmation of this fact by a decree in this matter. These reusable water sources include: a. Coors Augmentation Plan I includes, as replacement sources, Coors’s (i) decreed right of use to foreign and developed water from Straight Creek Tunnel, (ii) contractual right of use to 1.0 c.f.s. of the decreed “developed, nontributary water” from the Henderson Mine, and (iii) contractual rights to water from the Vidler Tunnel and Berthoud Pass Ditch water as transmountain sources. b. Coors Augmentation Plan III includes, as an augmentation source, a series of nontributary Denver Basin wells that were decreed in Case No. 85CW051. This nontributary groundwater includes the decreed rights for use, reuse, and successive use to extinction and for lease or sale to other water users on or off Coors’s Property. c. Coors Augmentation Plan III includes, as a replacement water source, water available to Coors pursuant to the Decree in Case No. 96CW1117, which authorizes the use of the amount of fully consumable water available to Coors from the City of Thornton’s interests in the water rights decreed to the Farmers High Line, the Church Ditch, the Croke Canal, and Standley Lake Reservoir for all the purposes permitted by the Decrees of this Court in its Case Nos. W-8036(75), W-8256(76), 89CW234, and 91CW122, including augmentation, within Coors’s industrial complex for use, reuse, and successive use to extinction there, or Coors may dispose of the right to reuse such water and may reuse and successively use or dispose of the right to reuse certain additional water pursuant to that decree after the first use thereof by the City of Golden. E. Operation and Administration of Existing Plans for Augmentation: Coors’s three augmentation plans provide detailed procedures for calculating out-of-priority depletions and replacements. Coors Augmentation Plan I, Coors Augmentation Plan II, and Coors Augmentation Plan III require Coors to measure and record the volumes and rates of flow of all diversions, return flows, and replacements made under the decrees. To comply with these requirements, Coors continuously measures and records the rates of flow of all of its in-priority diversions, augmented out-of-priority diversions, augmentation replacements, and return flows to Clear Creek after it uses the diverted water. Coors compiles the recorded flow data into a monthly accounting report that also shows daily diversion and return flow rates and volumes. The difference between the rate of out-of-priority diversions and the rate of return flow is the daily rate of Coors’s net out-of-priority depletions. Pursuant to its decrees, Coors delivers replacement water at a rate sufficient to replace the net out-of-priority depletions to Clear Creek. Coors Augmentation Plan I (pp. 45–76), Coors Augmentation Plan II (pp. 48–50), and Coors Augmentation Plan III (p. 79) state the terms and conditions for Coors’s delivery of replacement flows. As described in Section 3.D of this application, Coors makes the replacements with changed ditch rights, storage rights, and water rights from foreign, developed, and nontributary sources. If there is additional water available at the points of return flow and effluent (described in Section 3.C of this application) after Coors has made all required replacements, Coors categorizes this water as effluent.

Page 44: SUBSTITUTE WATER SUPPLY PLAN NOTIFICATION LISTDECEMBER 2015 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1 Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302,

44

This effluent is fully consumable because Coors has made all required replacements for the corresponding out-of-priority diversions and, therefore, Coors is allowed to fully consume or deplete these augmented diversions. Coors subtracts the volume of its out-of-priority diversions from the volume of return flow and replacements to calculate the amount of reusable effluent. For decades, Coors and the Division Engineer interpreted the terms and conditions of Coors’s augmentation plans to allow it to use and dispose of this effluent as fully consumable and reusable water. Accordingly, Coors has reused, successively used, and disposed of this water to other downstream water users through water leases. In this application, Coors requests a narrow amendment to its augmentation plans stating that this consumable effluent may be reused, successively used, and disposed of by agreement with water users downstream from the Golden Brewery. 4. Amendment to Plans for Augmentation: A. Coors requests an amendment to Coors Augmentation Plan I, Coors Augmentation Plan II, and Coors Augmentation Plan III to add rights of reuse, successive use, and disposition to the allowed uses for its fully augmented out-of-priority diversions pursuant to the Coors augmentation decrees as summarized in Section 3.B above, and to allow such reuse, successive use, and disposition by delivery on Clear Creek and the South Platte River in Jefferson County, Adams County, and Weld County. B. Coors seeks to amend the applications as described above by adding the following language to the “Replacement Flows” provision in each decree: Once Coors provides sufficient replacement water to the stream to fully replace depletions from its out-of-priority diversions as provided in this decree, such diversions are fully consumable and may be reused by Coors at the Golden Brewery or, at Coors’s discretion, successively used and disposed of by agreement to other water users at locations downstream from the location of Coors’s effluent returns on Clear Creek or the South Platte River in Jefferson County, Adams County, and Weld County, or by exchange to the Farmers High Line Canal or the Rocky Mountain Ditch, for any beneficial uses allowed pursuant to this plan for augmentation, subject only to approval of any augmentation plan or substitute water supply plan that is needed for such other parties’ use. This language will be added at the end of the following paragraphs that address “Replacement Flows” in each decree: i. Coors Augmentation Plan I: the first paragraph on page 46. ii. Coors Augmentation Plan II: the first paragraph on page 48 (paragraph 17.A.6). iii. Coors Augmentation Plan III: the first paragraph on page 79 (paragraph V.H). C. With the exception of the above-stated amendment, Coors does not seek to change any additional terms and conditions of Coors Augmentation Plan I, Coors Augmentation Plan II, and Coors Augmentation Plan III. Coors is not amending the changes of water rights, appropriative rights of exchange, augmented structures, locations of return flows, water rights used for augmentation, or replacement mechanisms in the previously decreed Coors Augmentation Plan I, Coors Augmentation Plan II, and Coors Augmentation Plan III. Any exchange of effluent upstream of the Farmers High Line Canal (beyond the reach of the appropriative right of exchange requested in Section 5 below) will require a separate application and decree. D. Coors’s engineering consultant has confirmed that the use, reuse, successive use, and disposition by Coors of the effluent generated by its operations of Coors Augmentation Plan I, Coors Augmentation Plan II, and Coors Augmentation Plan III, based on the amendments proposed herein, will not cause injury to any vested water rights or decreed conditional water rights. Coors’s engineering consultant has confirmed that Coors’s detailed accounting procedures allow the State Engineer to administer the terms of the amendments proposed in this application. E. Coors’s requested reuse, successive use, and disposition of the fully consumable effluent is part of Coors’s longstanding intent and appropriation of fully consumable water rights under its decreed plans for augmentation, and is not speculative. The augmentation decrees authorize Coors to fully consume its out-of-priority diversions. If there is additional consumable effluent remaining after Coors makes its replacements to the stream, Coors maintains dominion and control over this water by using detailed accounting procedures and by contractual disposition to downstream water users. Coors’s use of the consumable effluent is not speculative because, rather than reserving it for an undetermined future use, Coors places it to beneficial use at the Golden Brewery or, when feasible, by disposition for use by agreement with other water users. Cf. Water Supply & Storage Co. v. Curtis, 733 P.2d 680, 683 (Colo. 1987). These uses prevent waste and are consistent with the state policy of maximum beneficial use. See Fellhauer v. People, 447 P.2d 986, 994 (Colo. 1968). i. For decades, Coors and the Division Engineer interpreted the terms and conditions of

Page 45: SUBSTITUTE WATER SUPPLY PLAN NOTIFICATION LISTDECEMBER 2015 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1 Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302,

45

its augmentation plans as allowing Coors to fully consume the effluent that it generates by operating Coors Augmentation Plan I, Coors Augmentation Plan II, and Coors Augmentation Plan III, or to dispose of the effluent to other water users pursuant to leases and other agreements. Water court decrees and substitute water supply plans (“SWSPs”) that include water from the three Coors augmentation plans as a replacement source or substitute supply source supported Coors’s interpretation that this water was fully consumable by other users. The Water Court decreed augmentation plans filed by the City of Thornton that include this water delivered by Coors as a replacement source in Case Nos. 02CW180, 04CW326, and 08CW82, and confirmed the right to reuse, successive use, and disposition of the same water in Case No. 96CW1117. The State Engineer has approved inclusion of the effluent as a source of substitute supply the SWSPs requested by several water users, including Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. and its predecessor, Lafarge West, Inc., (2008–2014), and the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District’s Well Augmentation Subdistrict (“WAS”) in 2005. Additionally, in 2009, the Division Engineer approved leased water available under Coors’s three augmentation plans as an additional augmentation source pursuant to WAS’s decree entered in Case No. 03CW99. The Water Court also entered an order in Case No. 02CW289 on 4-20-2012, granting a motion by the applicant, Republic Services, to amend its decreed plan for augmentation by replacing its previously decreed source of augmentation water (an expiring water lease) with a new water source—a Coors water lease supplied with consumable effluent from Coors’s augmentation plans. ii. Coors currently has lease agreements with several parties, including Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., Todd Creek Village Metropolitan District, Consolidated Mutual Water Company, Rolling Hills Country Club, and Republic Services to provide additional water available under its augmentation plans. Coors uses the effluent that it generates by operating Coors Augmentation Plan I, Coors Augmentation Plan II, and Coors Augmentation Plan III as a source of water to fulfill these lease agreements. In recent years, Coors also has leased water from the same sources to the Colorado Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation (now part of Colorado Parks and Wildlife), the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District, and Xcel Energy. F. With the exception of the limited amendments described in this Section 4, Coors’s augmentation plans as previously decreed in Case Nos.

15CW3180 The City of Englewood, c/o City of Englewood, Attn: Tom Brennan, Utilities Manager, 1000 Englewood Parkway, Englewood, CO 80110, 303-762-2636; Attorneys: Peter D. Nichols, Leah K. Martinsson, Katherine A.D. Ryan, BERG HILL GREENLEAF RUSCITTI LLP, 1712 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO 80302 Phone No: (303) 402-1600 APPLICATION FOR WATER RIGHTS IN ARAPAHOE COUNTY, COLORADO 2. Overview of Application: Applicant seeks a conditional surface water right that will allow for the diversion of 5 c.f.s. from Big Dry Creek at a point just above the confluence of Big Dry Creek and the South Platte River. Diverted water will be placed into a pipeline that generally parallels the South Platte River for a distance of approximately 1,000 feet and will be run through an ultra-low head hydropower feature located within Englewood’s Union Avenue Raw Water Intake Facility. Power generated from this feature will be used to provide security lighting at the Union Avenue Raw Water Intake Facility. This may include use for the lighting of a planned public bike path that will run through the Union Avenue property along the South Platte River. This hydropower generation use will be non-consumptive and all diverted water will be discharged back into the South Platte River at an outfall located just downstream of Englewood’s Union Avenue intake structure. The stream reach between the point of diversion and point of return is a distance of approximately 1,000 feet. There are no intervening water rights located in the stream reach between the point of diversion on Big Dry Creek and the point of return to the South Platte River. In addition to non-consumptive hydropower generation, the requested water right may be used to provide an emergency municipal water supply for Englewood. Currently, Englewood relies almost exclusively on municipal water rights diverted from the South Platte River. This new water right will be capable of being delivered into the Union Avenue Raw Water Intake Facility through an emergency interconnect to be used as an emergency municipal water supply during those times when the quality of the water in the South Platte River is not of a quality suitable for treatment, such as in the event of a hazardous waste release to the South Platte River. Hazardous spill events in the South Platte have occurred in the past above the Union Avenue intake and this diversion would provide a means to avoid water supply interruptions associated with such events. Water diverted for these emergency municipal supply purposes would be treated and delivered to Englewood’s customers through Englewood’s water distribution system. 3. Name of Structure: Big Dry Creek Hydropower Diversion A. Legal Description: 1) Point of Diversion: A point on the northern

bank of Big Dry Creek located at NAD83UTM Zone 13N, Easting 498784.891 Northing 4386738.496 METERS. 2) Point of Return: A point on the eastern bank of the South Platte River located at NAD83UTM Zone 13N, Easting 498697.227 Northing 4387003.142 METERS. These coordinates were obtained using a Trimble R8 GPS unit receiving corrections via the Trimble VRS network. The point of diversion and point of return are shown on the Location Map attached as Exhibit A. B. Source: Big Dry Creek, a tributary to the South Platte River. C. Date of Initiation of Appropriation: December 30, 2015. 1) How appropriation was initiated: by field investigation, engagement of consulting engineers, and formation of intent to appropriate as evidenced by the filing of this application. 2) Date water applied to beneficial use: N/A. A. Amount Claimed: 5 c.f.s., conditional. A. Use: Hydropower generation and municipal purposes. Primary use of the Big Dry Creek Hydropower Diversion will be for non-consumptive hydropower generation. However, at those times when the water supply available from the South Platte River is of unsuitable quality for diversion into Englewood’s water treatment facility, the water diverted under the requested water right may be consumptively used for municipal uses. 4.

Box 279 Woodland Park, CO 80866 THIRD CLAIM FOR RELIEF Approval of Plan for Augmentation Applicant seeks a decree approving a plan for augmentation to augment or replace out-of-priority diversions to the Reservoirs, out-of-priority diversions for the uses described in the Second Claim for Relief described herein, and out-of-priority diversions associated with the Big Spring Pipeline Well, decreed in Case No. W-6138 (Div. 1). Approval of the plan for augmentation would allow Applicant to maintain water levels in the Reservoirs for the claimed uses and to supply water for the hatchery, residences, lodge and irrigation at times when curtailment of diversions or release would otherwise be required. STRUCTURES TO BE AUGMENTED: The water storage rights claimed for the Reservoirs, the direct flow surface water rights claimed for the uses described in the Second Claim for Relief described herein (hatchery, residences, lodge and irrigation), and the Big Springs Pipeline Well. WATER RIGHTS TO BE USED FOR AUGMENTATION: Water stored under the storage rights claimed in this case will be released from one or more of the Reservoirs to augment out-of-priority diversions to storage in other of the Reservoirs; out-of-priority diversions for the hatchery, residences, lodge; and irrigation; and the Big Spring Pipeline Well water right. In addition, augmentation water will be obtained from the City of Woodland Park pursuant to a lease for delivery of fully consumable water delivered to Trout Creek by the City of Woodland Park from the sources and facilities described in the City’s decrees in Consolidated Cases Nos. 86CW376 (Div.1) and 86CW123 (Div. 2), and Case No. 2002CW254 (Div. 1), including, but not limited to, reusable return flows from transmountain water rights, other fully consumable water rights, and fully augmented water rights. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN: Applicant will use the Reservoirs for the purposes described in the First Claim for Relief herein. In addition, Applicant will divert water at the Big Springs Pipeline point of diversion for use in the hatchery, raceways, residences, lodge, for irrigation and for the Big Spring Pipeline Well for its decreed purposes. Any out-of-priority diversions will be augmented from the sources described herein. Credit will be taken by Applicant for water released from the Reservoirs to Trout Creek and for fully consumable water leased from the City of Woodland Park that is released to Trout Creek and reduced by appropriate transit losses. Applicant’s plan provides a method for replacing water necessary to meet the lawful requirements of senior diverters at the time and location and to the extent that seniors would be deprived of their lawful entitlement. The operation of Applicant’s plan for augmentation will not injuriously affect the owners of or persons entitled to use water rights under vested water rights or decreed conditional water rights. WHEREFORE, Applicant prays for a decree approving the adjudicating the

water storage rights and surface water rights described herein, and approving the plan for augmentation described herein, and for such further relief as the court deems proper. AMENDMENTS 08CW175 City of Evans (“Evans”), 1100 37th Street, Evans, CO 80620, Telephone: (970) 339-5344.Second Amended Application for Change of Water Rights and Approval of Plan for Augmentation in LARIMER and WELD COUNTIES. City of Evans (“Evans”), 1100 37th Street, Evans, CO 80620, Telephone: (970) 339-5344. The original Application, filed August, 2008, seeks to change 23 shares in the Godfrey Ditch Company and approval of an augmentation plan to replace out-of-priority depletions from two wells. The First Amended Application, filed March, 2014, seeks to change an additional Godfrey Ditch Company share and approval to include the additional share as a replacement source in the augmentation plan for the two wells. The Second Amended Application seeks to change shares or contract rights in the Greeley and Loveland Irrigation Company (GLIC), the Seven Lakes Reservoir Company (Seven Lakes), and the Loveland and Greeley Reservoir (Lake Loveland), and approval to include these shares and contract rights as replacement sources in the augmentation plan for the two wells. I. CHANGE OF WATER RIGHTS. A. Decreed name of structures for which changes are sought. 34.67 shares in GLIC; 5.5 shares in Seven Lakes; and 5 contract rights in Lake Loveland. GLIC, Seven Lakes, and Lake Loveland hold legal title to the following water rights: a) the Barnes Ditch decreed in Section 17, Township 5 North, Range 69 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County. The historic point of diversion is on the North side of the Big Thompson River in the NW1/4 of the SE1/4 of said Section 17. The Barnes Ditch has an alternate point of diversion on the Big Thompson River in Section 15, Township 5 North, Range 69 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County; b) the Loveland and Greeley Canal decreed with two separate headgates, one located in Section 15 and one in Section 17, each in Township 5 North, Range 69 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County. The actual point of diversion of the Loveland and Greeley Canal is in the SW1/4 of Section 15, Township 5 North, Range 69 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County; c) the Larimer County Irrigation and Manufacturing Ditch or the Chubbuck Ditch diverts from the Big Thompson River through the headgate(s) of the Loveland and Greeley Canal; and d) the Loveland and Greeley Reservoir (Lake Loveland) located in the NE1/4 of Section 10, Section 11, and the N1/2 of N 1/2 of Section 14, all in Township 5 North, Range 69 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County. B. Proposed Changes. Evans does not seek to change the points of diversion at which water is diverted under the GLIC, Seven Lakes, and Lake Loveland water rights; however, Evans proposes to remove 460.4 historically irrigated acres from irrigation. It is anticipated the subject GLIC, Seven Lakes, and Lake Loveland shares and contract rights will provide approximately 302 acre-feet of consumptive use credit on an annual basis. Evans proposes to use these consumptive use credits to replace out-of-priority stream depletions from pumping Well No. 1-1335 and EnviroTech Well No. 67595-F. In addition, Evans seeks approval a) to deliver consumptive use credits available under these shares and contract rights, whether such water is attributable to direct-flow or storage rights, to the Ground Water Management Subdistrict of the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District (“CCWCD”) to satisfy Evans’ obligations to CCWCD under an intergovernmental agreement between Evans and CCWCD for use of CCWCD’s augmentation station on the Godfrey Ditch and for use of a portion of the storage capacity in Nissen Reservoir; and b) to deliver water available under these shares and contract rights, whether such water is attributable to direct-flow or storage rights, to Boyd Lake and/or Lake Loveland for treatment by the City of Greeley, which water will then be delivered to Evans for all municipal purposes within its current and future service areas, including but not limited to domestic, irrigation, watering of lawns, parks and grounds, commercial, industrial, mechanical, manufacturing, fire protection, sewage treatment, street sprinkling, recreational, storage for later use, operational detention, replacement, and all other beneficial purposes related to the operation of municipal water and sewer services. To the extent return flows attributable to the new use of the shares and contract rights are not sufficient to maintain historical return flows, Evans further seeks approval to deliver water available under these shares and contract rights to the Big Thompson River or the South Platte River as necessary to maintain historical return flows. To the extent return flows attributable to the new use of the

Page 56: SUBSTITUTE WATER SUPPLY PLAN NOTIFICATION LISTDECEMBER 2015 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1 Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302,

56

shares and contract rights that are the subject of this application exceed the historical return flows therefrom, Evans seeks confirmation of the right fully to consume that incremental amount, whether by reuse, successive use, exchange, sale or otherwise. A map showing the decreed points of diversion and Evans’ current and future service area is attached to the application filed by Evans in Case No. 96CW958, which is on file with the Water Clerk for Water Division 1. Maps showing the location of the lands historically irrigated by the subject GLIC, Seven Lakes, and Lake Loveland shares and contract rights are attached to the Second Amended Complaint on file with the Water Clerk for Water Division 1. Finally, Evans seeks approval to use the consumptive use credit to satisfy return flow obligations associated with the change of shares and contract rights in the Companies in Evans’ Case Nos. 96CW958 and 03CW314, and for lease and/or exchange to third parties, including EnviroTech and CCWCD, for use as replacement supplies. II. PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION. A. Structures to be augmented. Evans’ non-potable Well No. 1-1335 and EnviroTech Well No. 67595-F. In addition to Godfrey Ditch Company shares and the yield from Windy Gap transmountain diversion project as described in the original Application and the First Amended Application, the Second Amended Application proposes to use consumptive use credits from the change of GLIC, Seven Lakes, and Lake Loveland shares and contract rights (described aboveto replace injurious out-of-priority depletions caused by the operation of Well No. 1-1335 and EnviroTech Well No. 67595-F. These consumptive use credits will be delivered to the Big Thompson River or the South Platte River from releases from Lake Loveland, from Boyd Lake, or from an outlet structure on the Greeley and Loveland Canal at Ashcroft Draw. Pursuant to an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Evans and CCWCD, CCWCD is entitled to use up to 11 Shares out of the 24 shares of the Godfrey Ditch Company through 2023. In exchange, Evans has the right to use up to 70 acre-feet of storage space within Nissen Reservoir, or an alternate storage location within the CCWCD. Pursuant to the IGA, CCWCD is responsible for obtaining approval for the use of the 11 Shares and maintaining the historical return flows associated with those Shares. In the event the IGA is terminated prior to 2023, Evans will be obligated to deliver water to CCWCD for a specified period, in which case Evans intends to deliver water from the Windy Gap water rights or the subject shares and contract rights in GLIC, Seven Lakes, and Lake Loveland.

List all proposed uses: Water diverted from the Wells will be used for industrial, commercial, oil and gas development and production, dust suppression and other related purposes generally in portions of Adams and Arapahoe Counties in Townships 1 to 5 South, in Ranges 60 to 65 West. Such uses will be fully consumptive. Water from the BCP Wells will also be used for irrigation of up to 60 acres on the Randall Parcel and 60 acres on the Hawthorne Parcel. Applicant proposes to use the water by direct use, or by storage and subsequent use. A pond is currently proposed on the Randall Parcel, but other ponds may be constructed on that property, the Hawthorne Parcel, or at other locations needed to fully utilize the water for its decreed use. A map showing the general location of the BCP Wells, storage pond, and place of irrigation use is attached as EXHIBIT A. The general location for the other proposed uses is shown on the map attached as EXHIBIT B. SECOND CLAIM: PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION 10. Names of structures to be augmented: The BCP Wells. The structures have not yet been decreed, and a conditional water right for each well is claimed in this case as described above. There are no other water rights diverted from those wells. All relevant information is provided in the First Claim above. 11. Water rights to be used for augmentation: Applicant will rely on augmentation water delivered by the Town of Wiggins pursuant to the Amended Water Conveyance and Operating Agreement dated September 11, 2013, a copy of which is attached as EXHIBIT C. Wiggins currently owns or has the right to acquire approximately 27 shares in the Weldon Valley Ditch Company, and may acquire more shares in the future. The augmentation water will primarily consist of fully consumable water from the senior direct flow water right and recharge rights represented by those shares. The senior direct flow water right was originally decreed to the Weldon Valley Ditch on November 21, 1895, in Case No. 433, District Court for Weld County, in the amount of 165 cfs for irrigation with an appropriation date of October 26, 1881. Wiggins is also entitled to a pro rata share of recharge accretions from the Weldon Valley Ditch decreed on November 5, 2008, in Case No. 02CW377, Water Division 1. The source of water for the senior direct flow and recharge water rights is the South Platte River. Those water rights are decreed for diversion through the Weldon Valley Ditch headgate located on the north bank of the South Platte River in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 13, T4N, R61W, 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The Wiggins water rights may be delivered directly to the South Platte River through one or more augmentation stations on the Weldon Valley Ditch or delivered as accretions to the River through one or more recharge structures located along the Ditch. Wiggins may also deliver return flows from its treated water system and reusable effluent from its wastewater treatment plant to the South Platte River. Some of the Wiggins water rights are subject to a pending application in Case No. 14CW3068. Up to 1.11 cfs of that water will be exchanged up the South Platte River to a point near a recharge well used to fill a recharge pond to be constructed near the confluence of Box Elder Creek and the South Platte River at the location described below. That exchange and the water rights and augmentation plan associated with that recharge project will also be used to replace depletions from the BCP Wells pursuant to a pending application in Case No. 15CW3010, which has been consolidated with this case.. Applicant also requests approval of a procedure to allow the addition of other water rights decreed for augmentation purposes pursuant to procedures described in Section 37–92–305(8)(c), C.R.S. 12. Will any water rights be changed to provide a source of augmentation? Applicant does not propose to change any water rights in this case. The Weldon Valley Ditch water rights to be delivered by Wiggins will only be used for augmentation in this case if they have been changed to allow augmentation use pursuant to one or more separate water court decrees or approved substitute water supply plans. A total of 10.4 shares have already been changed to allow use for irrigation, augmentation, replacement, recharge, and exchange in Case No. 04CW90. Wiggins has pending in Case No. 14CW3068 an application to change the Weldon Valley Ditch water rights represented by all 27 shares to allow municipal use by Wiggins, including augmentation of out of priority depletions caused by the BCP Wells, the wells proposed for delivery of water to the BCP Recharge Structure, and the Wiggins municipal wells,

Page 61: SUBSTITUTE WATER SUPPLY PLAN NOTIFICATION LISTDECEMBER 2015 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1 Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302,

61

through various means of recharge and delivery to the South Platte River. Replacement will be limited to water from the changed 10.4 shares until additional shares have been approved for such use by the Weldon Valley Ditch Company and by the water court or State Engineer. 13. Complete statement of plan for augmentation. Applicant will divert water from the BCP Wells for the purposes and amounts described above for oil and gas development and production and related uses pursuant to contract with Select Energy Services and/or other entities. The water pumped from the BCP Wells for those purposes will be fully consumed. Applicant will also divert water for irrigation of up to 120 acres on the Randall and Hawthorne Parcels. A portion of the water used for irrigation will be consumed, and the rest will return to the alluvial aquifer. The total maximum annual combined pumping for all purposes under this plan is 2,000 acre-feet. All out-of-priority depletions from all uses will be replaced using the sources identified in paragraph 12 in the time, amount, and location needed to prevent injury to vested water rights. The BCP Wells are located approximately 18 miles above the normally live stream segment on Box Elder Creek. As a result, stream depletions from pumping the BCP Wells will be significantly delayed and spread out over many years. Maximum annual stream depletions to the South Platte River will be approximately 66 acre-feet per year. The current estimated timing and amount of depletions from such well pumping and the resulting replacement obligations are described on attached EXHIBIT D. Applicant proposes to replace all out of priority stream depletions as needed to prevent injury to water rights having a decreed priority senior to the date of filing the original application. Applicant has contracted with the Town of Wiggins to provide replacement water for these out-of-priority stream depletions by delivery of Weldon Valley Ditch water rights and any other water rights to the South Platte River and exchange of that water upstream to a recharge facility to be constructed near the confluence of the South Platte River and Box Elder Creek. By joint application in Case No. 15CW3010, BCP and Wiggins have requested approval of an exchange to allow delivery of that water into the recharge structure or to a point of depletion on the South Platte River caused by diversion of water from the recharge well into the recharge structure. The recharge well will be located in the NE1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 2, T4N, R63W, 6th P.M., and the recharge pond will be located in the NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 11, T4N, R63W, 6th P.M. in Weld County (BCP Recharge Structure”), as more fully described in the application in 15CW3010. Replacement water for the BCP Wells will be delivered to the South Platte River as accretions from the BCP Recharge Structure or other means provided by Wiggins. A map showing the proposed location of the BCP Recharge Structure is attached as EXHIBIT E. 14. Names and addresses of owner or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored: The BCP Recharge Structure will be constructed on land owned by the TH Ranch LLC, 34555 WCR 50, Kersey, CO 80644. BCP Well Nos. 1-4 will be located on land owned by Randall Investments, 9888 Whistling Elk Drive, Littleton, CO 80127. BCP Well No. 5 is located on land owned by Robert R. Hawthorne, Route 1 Box 351, Watkins, CO 80137. 15CW3084, The Consolidated Mutual Water Company, 12700 West 27th Avenue, Lakewood, CO 80215, (303) 238-0451, through counsel Evan D. Ela, Esq. and Joseph W. Norris, Esq., Collins Cockrel & Cole, P.C., 390 Union Boulevard, Suite 400, Denver, CO 80228, (303) 986-1551, FIRST AMENDED APPLICATION FOR PERFECTION OF DECREED CONDITIONAL WATER RIGHTS AND IN THE ALTERNATIVE FOR FINDINGS OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE ON THE UNPERFECTED PORTION in JEFFERSON COUNTY. 2. Purpose of the First Amendment: The purpose of the original application (“Application”) in this matter is to decree a portion of the subject Fairmount Reservoir conditional water storage right absolute based on diversion and storage during the 2015 water year and continue diligence for any portion remaining unperfected. Since filing the Application on June 30, 2015, Applicant has finalized its reservoir accounting for the 2015 water year and can now claim perfection of the entire conditional water right. By this First Amendment, the Applicant now claims the entire remaining conditional 651 acre-feet of the storage as absolute. Applicant reserves its alternative claim for continued diligence of the subject water right for any portion not adjudicated absolute by this First Amended Application. To accommodate the increased claim for perfection sought herein, and in

compliance with Rule 5 of this Court’s Administrative Order No. 12-04, this First Amended Application is a restatement of the original Application and completely supersedes the original Application. Revisions to the original Application are contained in Paragraphs 6 and 7 of this First Amended Application. All other aspects of the original Application remain unchanged. 3. Name of Structures: Fairmount Reservoir. 4. Description of the subject conditional water right from prior decrees: (a) Original Decree. The original water rights decree for Fairmount Reservoir was issued in Case No. 91CW92, District Court in and for Water Division No. 1, State of Colorado, In the Matter of the Application of the Consolidated Mutual Water Company for Conditional Water Storage Rights in Jefferson County, on December 22, 1993. (1) Location (place of storage): In the NE 1/4, Section 24, Township 3 South, Range 70 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, Jefferson County, Colorado. (2) Source: Clear Creek, a tributary of the South Platte River. (3) Date of appropriation: July 16, 1991. (4) Amount: 990 acre-feet, Conditional.

(6) Beneficial uses: All beneficial uses, including municipal, irrigation, domestic, mechanical, commercial, industrial, recreation, fish and wildlife, augmentation and replacement and any other use necessary, desirable, or incidental to the operation of The Consolidated Mutual Water Company’s water system. (b) Diligence Decrees. The decree entered in Case No. 99CW203, dated December 4, 2002, granted perfection of 339 acre-feet of the conditional water storage right for all beneficial purposes stated in the Original Decree and continued diligence for the remaining 651 acre-feet, conditional. The most recent finding of continued diligence was decreed by this Court on June 2, 2009, in Case No. 08CW278. 5. Claim for Perfection of Conditional Water Right. During the 2015 irrigation year (November 1, 2014 to October 31, 2015), Applicant diverted water in-priority and stored water for beneficial use pursuant to its Fairmount Reservoir water storage right. As of the date of this First Amended Application, Applicant has diverted and stored, including carry-over storage, 990 acre-feet under the Fairmount Right during the 2015 water year. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4)(e), a decreed conditional water storage right shall be made absolute for all decreed purposes to the extent of the volume of the appropriation that has been captured, possessed, and controlled at the decreed storage structure. Therefore, Applicant claims the entire 651 acre-feet of the remaining Fairmount Reservoir conditional water storage right as absolute (339 acre-feet was previously adjudicated absolute by the water court in Case No. 99CW203). 6. Alternative Claim for Findings of Reasonable Diligence on the Unperfected Portion. To the extent that any remaining conditional portion of the Fairmount Reservoir water storage right is not adjudicated as perfected in this proceeding, Applicant claims to have diligently pursued completion of such remaining appropriation and can prove its diligence by the activities described in the following paragraph. 7. Outline of work done and funds expended by Applicant during the relevant diligence period (December 20, 2008 through June 30, 2015) toward completion of the appropriation. Applicant is the owner of other water rights, which together with the subject conditional water right form an integrated and unified municipal water supply system. Pursuant to § 37-92-301(4)(b), C.R.S., work on one feature of an integrated system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of water rights for all features of the integrated system.

Page 63: SUBSTITUTE WATER SUPPLY PLAN NOTIFICATION LISTDECEMBER 2015 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1 Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302,

63

Thus, work on any part of Applicant’s integrated municipal water supply system must be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown for the subject conditional water right. (a) Applicant expended over $23,000 for maintenance of Fairmount Reservoir. (b) Applicant spent approximately $126,000 on an upgraded pump station to move water from Fairmount Reservoir to either Welton Reservoir or Maple Grove Reservoir. (c) Applicant has expended approximately $80,000 on repair and maintenance of its municipal water treatment plant. (d) Applicant expended over $400,000 for legal costs and over $220,000 for engineering and other consultant fees to maintain and defend Applicant’s portfolio of water rights. (e) Applicant budgets and expends approximately $2 million for improvements to its water distribution system each year (approximately $12 million during the current diligence period). Additionally, Applicant has completed planning and engineering studies associated with the planning, construction and continued operation of its integrated municipal water supply system. (f) Applicant renegotiated its water distributor agreement with Denver Water in 2013 to allow the Applicant the freedom to provide water to greater portions of the combined water distribution system that is the subject of the distributor agreement. The effect of this revised agreement was an increase in the number of customers that are provided water from the Applicant’s Maple Grove treatment plant. This in turn increased the demand for water yields from Fairmount Reservoir and other raw water reservoirs owned and managed by Applicant. (g) Applicant diverted and stored water in-priority from Clear Creek under the Fairmount Reservoir water storage right during the relevant diligence period for water years 2008 through 2015. 8. Name and address of potentially affected landowners. Fairmount Reservoir is located on land currently owned by the Applicant.
