Exchanges <br />Larimer Weld Company operates various exchanges with other entities in Water District 3. The <br />purpose of these exchanges is threefold; 1) to ensure that all entities in the District can use the <br />water they are entitled, regardless of the location of their water rights relative to their service <br />area, 2) to ensure that out of priority diversions in the District are covered, and 3) to ensure that <br />all water available under legal decree is used before it leaves the District. Larimer Weld <br />Company exchanges are typically conducted as soon as Larimer Weld Irrigation Canal's large <br />decree for 571 cfs is out of priority. The main exchanges involving Larimer Weld Company are <br />as follows: <br />Larimer Weld Company and NPIC -Worster Reservoir and C-BT Releases <br />Larimer Weld Company and New Cache Company <br />Larimer Weld Company and WSSC <br />Larimer Weld Company and NPIC -Worster Reservoir and C-BT Releases <br />Water stored in Worster Reservoir is transferred to Halligan Reservoir for use in NPIC's North <br />Poudre Canal. In exchange, NPIC releases C-BT water from their account in Horsetooth <br />Reservoir to either Poudre Valley Canal or Larimer Weld Irrigation Canal. <br />Larimer Weld Company and New Cache Company <br />The Larimer Weld Irrigation Company cannot get water from Big Windsor Reservoir. <br />Therefore, the following exchanges take place: Larimer Weld Irrigation Canal diverts water at <br />their headgate when New Cache La Poudre Canal is in priority in exchange for releases from Big <br />Windsor Reservoir to New Cache La Poudre Canal. Larimer Weld Irrigation Canal diverts New <br />Cache Company's C-BT shares in exchange for releases from Big Windsor Reservoir. <br />Larimer Weld Company and WSSC <br />Water belonging to Larimer Weld Company is diverted at WSSC's Larimer County Canal. In <br />exchange, WSSC makes releases from Lindenmeir Lake and Long Pond to Larimer Weld <br />Irrigation Canal. <br />Where to find more information <br />• Structure specific memos have been prepared for Wilson Supply Ditch and Laramie <br />Poudre Tunnel as part of SPDSS Task 4 -Identify Key Transmountain Diversion <br />Structures. <br />• Procedures for determining key diversions structures and a list of all selected key <br />diversion structures is presents in SPDSS Task 3 -Identify Key Diversion <br />Structures Overall Task Memorandum. <br />• Procedures for determining key reservoirs and reservoir systems and a list of all <br />selected key reservoirs and reservoir systems is presented in SPDSS Task 5 - <br />Identify Key Storage Elements Overall Task Memorandum. <br />Larimer&Weld Memo.doc <br />19 of 20 <br />
