unused allotment to the next year is not permitted and any unused allotment will be reallocated <br />on April 1st of the following year. <br />The District does not determine a direct flow allotment of their direct flow right for 417.0 cfs. <br />District land owners are entitled to apro-rata share, based on the number of acres owned, of any <br />diversions made under the District's direct flow right. Storage releases and direct flow <br />diversions can be made concurrently through Riverside Canal. <br />The District owns 21 shares of stock in Jackson Lake Reservoir and Irrigation Company and 75 <br />shares of stock in the Morgan Prewitt Reservoir Company. Shares in both of these reservoir <br />companies provide for storage water in Jackson Lake and Prewitt Reservoir, respectively. The <br />shares in the Jackson Lake and Prewitt Reservoir can be used to satisfy owners of Company <br />shares with lands outside of the District boundaries. To minimize exchange losses, Jackson Lake <br />and Prewitt Reservoir are typically used to serve users on the Upper and Lower Platte and <br />Beaver Canals. In addition to the District having ownership in other companies, individual users <br />within the District boundary may have ownership in other companies as well. <br />The District and Company share ownership of the System recharge plan, whereby the plan <br />includes physical components and water rights owned by each of the entities. The overall <br />System recharge plan includes multiple decrees and agreements with various entities. The <br />original application for recharge in the System (W-2919, Area III) was decreed with an <br />appropriation date of June 30, 1975 and included a combined total of 1010.2 acre-feet of <br />potential recharge per year from 30 different recharge structures. Subsequent applications <br />(86CW387 & 88CW221) for recharge were decreed with an appropriation date of June 17, 1986 <br />and included a combined 7000 acre-feet of potential recharge per year from Vancil Reservoir. <br />The two junior storage water rights for Riverside Reservoir are decreed to work in coordination <br />with these recharge plans. The recharge credits from these decrees are currently used to replace <br />depletions resulting from 94 wells within the District. <br />The System also benefits from additional recharge credits from agreements made with several <br />recharge projects. Riverside Canal makes surface water deliveries to the following recharge <br />areas in exchange for recharge credits: <br />• Equus Farms <br />• National Hog Farms <br />• Goodrich Farms <br />• Headley/Antelope <br />• Sublette <br />Records of deliveries to these entities are kept by the System. The Northern Colorado Water <br />Conservancy District (NCWCD), in coordination with the System, provides the engineering <br />analysis and accounting associated with multiple augmentation plans. Additional amendments to <br />these decrees continue to be filed, which provides for a dynamic recharge plan for the Riverside <br />System. <br />Riverside Irrigation System.doc Page 5 of 14 <br />
