south section line of said Section 3) and Cottonwood Loyd A-1 as decreed in Case No. 86CW361

(350 feet south of the north section line and 1600 feet east of the west section line of said Section

9) to the alternate point of diversion, known as Cottonwood Well D-4A (Permit No. 55267-F),

decreed to Cottonwood Well D-4 in Case No. 86CW055 in Douglas County, Colorado, described

on Exhibit A attached hereto and as follows:

SE1/4 SW1/4, Section 3, Township 6 South, Range 66 West, 6th P.M., at a point

850 feet from the south section line and 2530 feet from the west section line of

said Section 3.

Applicant seeks approval to commingle the withdrawal of water from Cottonwood Well D-4,

Cottonwood Well A-1 and Cottonwood Loyd A-1 at the new well location, Cottonwood Well D-

4A. Relocation of Cottonwood Well A-1 and Cottonwood Loyd A-1 is necessary becausecommingling the water withdrawn from the new well location for Cottonwood Well D-4A will

result in more economical and efficient use of the decreed water rights by applicant. Applicant is

not seeking to modify any provisions of the decrees granted in Case Nos. W-7824-74, 85CW167,

86CW055 or 86CW361. The terms and conditions of Case Nos. W-7824-74, 85CW167,

86CW055 or 86CW361 shall govern the withdrawal of water from the well at the new location,

Cottonwood Well D-4A.

6. Well field: The Supplemental Findings of Fact and Decree in Case No. W-7824-74 for

Cottonwood Well D-4, at paragraph 8, recognized that “[w]ells 1, 2, 4 and 5 as decreed on August

4, 1977 in addition to Well No. 3 which is subject to this supplemental decree are to be connected

into a unified municipal water system and total rates of flow and volumes are cumulative

limitations within each formation. A municipal water system requires flexibility to maximize the

use of water from multiple points of diversion, therefore, applicants may exceed the rate of flow

from a single structure within a formation so long as the cumulative rates of flow and volume are

not exceeded as described in paragraph 6(b) above.”

The Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, Judgment and Decree in Case No. 85CW167 for

Cottonwood Well A-1, at paragraph 12.A., recognized that “[a]pplicants propose to build a unified

municipal water system and will construct its wells as required by development.” The decree in

Case No. 85CW167, at paragraph 12.B., also recognized that “[t]wo or more wells constructed

into the same aquifer shall be considered a well field. Applicants may produce the entire amount

which may be produced hereunder from the particular aquifer through any combination of wells

within the well field for that particular aquifer.”

The Findings and Ruling of the Referee and Decree of the Water Court in Case No. 86CW361 for

Cottonwood Loyd A-1, at paragraph 13, recognized that “[t]he wells decreed herein from a

particular aquifer . . . shall constitute a well field. The total amount of water which applicant isentitled to withdraw and use each year from a particular aquifer . . . may be withdrawn from any

well or a combination of wells decreed herein which is completed into that aquifer . . . .”

Accordingly, applicant seeks to operate Cottonwood Well D-4A as a well field with Arapahoe

aquifer Cottonwood Well D-1 (Permit No. 16767-F), Arapahoe aquifer Cottonwood Well D-2

(Permit No. 17129-F), and Arapahoe aquifer Cottonwood Well D-3 (Permit No. 17128-F) and

applicant’s full annual acre-foot entitlement to the Arapahoe aquifer may be taken through any

combination of said wells as alternate points of diversion and as a well field.

7. Pumping rates: Applicant requests that the pumping rates for each well may exceed the nominal

pumping rates set forth in any decree mentioned in paragraph 5 to the extent necessary to

Page 8: TO ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER …...TO ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIVISION 1: Pursuant to CRS, 37-92-302, you are hereby notified that the following

withdraw the full annual allocation of water from the well field from any combination of wells in

the well field.

8. The granting of the application and the use of groundwater hereunder will not injuriously affect

the owner of or person entitled to use water under a vested water right or a decreed conditional

water right.

9. Applicant may bank the Arapahoe aquifer groundwater decreed to Cottonwood Well A-1 in Case

No. 85CW167 and decreed to Cottonwood Loyd A-1 in Case No. 86CW361 in accordance with

Rule 8(A) of the Statewide Nontributary Ground Water Rules, 2 CCR 402-7.

10. Ownership: Applicant owns an easement for Cottonwood Well D-4A’s well site, well house and

for ingress and egress to Cottonwood Well D-4A. The name and address of the owner of the land

on which the structure is to be relocated is:Today Crown Point, L.P.

available underlying the Subject Property as decreed in Case No. 99CW147, District Court, Water Division1. Said water was decreed to Applicant underlying and associated with approximately 565 acres of land,located in parts of Sections 20, 29 and 30, T7S, R67W of the 6th P.M., as more particularly described andshown on Attachment A hereto ("Subject Property"). B. Water rights to be used for augmentation: Returnflows from the use of not nontributary Lower Dawson and Denver aquifer water and return flows and directdischarge of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property as previously decreed in this courtin Case No. 99CW147. C. Statement of plan for augmentation: The subject Lower Dawson and Denveraquifer groundwater may be used to provide additional water for residential lots located on the SubjectProperty, and for domestic, irrigation, including irrigation of a tree farm, commercial, industrial,stockwatering, and augmentation purposes, including storage and storage for esthetic purposes, both on andoff the Subject Property. For purposes of this application, inhouse use will require 0.3 acre-feet perresidence , irrigation will require approximately 2.5 acre-feet per year for irrigation of every acre of homelawn and garden or trees, and 2 acre-feet per year for every acre of pasture and hay, and stockwatering willrequire 0.05 acre-feet for every 4 large domestic animals. Applicant reserves the right to amend thesevalues. Sewage treatment for inhouse and commercial use will be provided by non-evaporative septicsystems. Consumptive use associated with in-house and limited commercial use will be approximately10% of water used and it is estimated that approximately 10% of water used for irrigation will be returnedto the stream system.
