Recreation, and the staff residence quarters of the Colorado Division of
Wildlife. The remaining 0.709 cfs are involved in this augmentation plan.
After the deductions are made for the additional dry up of 18.8 acres to
replace depletions and reservoir evaporation losses described herein, the
allowable diversion rates will be reduced to 0.498 cfs under the Heinze
priority for irrigation.

13. 1.4. The point of diversion for the Heinze Ditch is at a head gate
situated on the east bank of Middle Rifle Creek at a point in the SE 1f4 of
the NW 1f4 of Section 36, T4S, R93W of the 6th P.M. approximately 3048
feet North of the South line and approximately 2240 feet East of the West
line of said Section 36. The location of the Heinze Ditch headgate was
recently surveyed. The legal description in this paragraph is the surveyed
location.

13.1.5. The W-3758 Decree determined that the Applicants
irrigated 71.3 acres of land under the Heinze Ditch using Heinze Ditch
priorities Nos. 67, 102 and 125 with a historic consumptive use of 1.69
acre-feet/acre. Of these irrigated lands, 8.1 acres of land were dried up
under the W-3758 Decree, leaving 63.2 acres ofland historically irrigated
by the Heinze Ditch. The Applicants and Opposer Puma Paw disagree
over the amount and location of land that was irrigated under the Heinze
Ditch since 1979. However, the Applicants and Opposer Puma Paw agree,
as a matter of compromise, that the amount of consumptive use credits
associated with the remaining 63.2 acres ofland shall be 1.35 acre-feet per
acre resulting in a total amount of consumptive use credits of 85.32 acre-
feet per year. This 1.35 acre-feet per acre number through 1997 shall be
used both in the resolution of this case and in any subsequent case filed
regarding the Heinze Ditch priorities Nos. 67, 102 and 125.

For this plan, 25.38 acre-feet of consumptive use credits are available to
replace the depletions (19.19 acre-feet) in this plan and the 6.19 acre-feet
per year of evaporation loss occurring at RCC Reservoir NO.1. Thus,
25.38 acre-feet of the 85.32 acre-feet of consumptive use credits are
dedicated to this plan for augmentation. 59.94 acre-feet of consumptive
use credits remain. When out-of-priority depletions are required to be
replaced under the operation of this plan for augmentation, the
consumptive use credits will be made available to the stream in the amounts
described in Appendix I.

13.1.6. Of the 63.2 acres of historically irrigated land remammg
after the entry of the W-3758 Decree, 18.8 acres ofland have been dried
up and dedicated to replace depletions for this plan's augmentation
