(3TCC) operates a 10,000 head cattle feedlot 6 miles southwest of Fort <br />Morgan. The water for the feedlot is supplied by one tributary groundwater well. The junior well is <br />currently augmented under the Groundwater Appropriators of the South Platte (GASP) plan of <br />operation, however, GASP will cease to cover the augmentation needs of this well on August 22, <br />2004. Consumptive use for 10,000 head of cattle will be approximately 90 t0112 acre-feet <br />annually, based on daily consumptive water use for cattle calculated at 8 -10 gallons per animal. <br />3TCC is seeking CWCS funding to purchase 5 shares of Weldon Valley Ditch water for use for <br />augmentation. 3TCC is considering several options for either submitting their own Substitute <br />Water Supply Plan to the State, or joining an existing augmentation group plan such as Central <br />Colorado Water Conservancy District or Orphan Wells of Wiggins, LLC. The total estimated <br />consumptive use delivery of the water rights is 90 to 100 acre-feet, and the purchase price of the <br />Weldon Valley shares in $54,000 per share. <br /> <br /> <br />Page 6 of 6 <br />
