27. Applicant shall account for appropriate evaporation
charges if established by the Division Engineer, on water placed
into storage;'however, such an evaporation charge shall be
assessed only when the Division Engineer assesses evaporation
charges on all water storage rights in Water Division No.3.

and carrying forward of stored water from year to year are

irrigation, in-house domestic, commercial, and industrial uses

District, as such boundaries may change from time to time
pursuant to law, when curtailment would otherwise be required to
meet valid senior calls. The owners of or persons entitled to
use water under vested water rights and decreed conditional water
rights will not be injuriously affected by this augmentation
plan, or by the change of water rights.

30. The State Engineer lawfully may be required under the
terms of this Ruling to administer the plan for augmentation in
the manner set forth herein and shall not, at the request of any
other appropriator or on his own initiative, curtail or obtain a
curtailment of the diversion of water from the structures
augmented under this plan so long as replacement water is
available to meet the lawful requirements of seniors at the time
and place and to the extent that the seniors would be deprived of
their lawful entitlements by such structures, except as provided
herein. The State Engineer shall curtail all out-of-priority
diversions, the depletions from which are not so replaced as to
prevent injury to vested water rights pursuant to C.R.S. S 37-92-
305(8).
