<br />In December 2002, Colorado entered into a Stipulation with Kansas and Nebraska to address the
<br />U.S. Supreme Court case of Kansas v. Nebraska and Colorado. Colorado agreed to develop a
<br />ground water model to determine stream flow depletions caused by well pumping in the Basin and
<br />to a five-year running average to determine compliance with the Republican River Compact. In
<br />2007, the State had exceeded its allocation under the Compact by an average of 11,350 AF/yr. To
<br />solve the problem the District elected to acquire ground water rights with a historical consumptive
<br />of 15,000 AF/yr. This water will be delivered to the North Fork of the Republican River via a
<br />Compact Compliance Pipeline to the stream gage at the Colorado-Nebraska state line to offset
<br />stream depletions. The District is requesting a loan from the CWCB in the amount of $60 million to
<br />finance the engineering, construction and water acquisition related to the Pipeline Project. The
<br />loan represents approximately 85% of the estimated $71 million total cost of the Project. Final
<br />design is expected to start in the spring of 2008 and construction is scheduled for 2008 & 2009.
