Any required or necessary localized augmentation release from WPCC Storage Tank will occur on the Applicant's property and will meet Crooked Creek at a point which fully protects Crooked Creek from injury due to any out of priority pumping of WPCC Wells No. 1-3. - Specialized Conditions on Operation of Augmentation Plan: If the Applicant chooses to install and fill a 28,700 gallon storage tank, the Applicant shall not irrigate with WPCC Wells No. 1-3. The Applicant can use WPCC Wells No. 1-3 as a year round supply for commercial, domestic and augmentation uses. Under these circumstances, (i.e., no irrigation with WPCC Wells No. 1-3), the Applicant will be required to provide local augmentation from the WPCC Storage Tank that will augment their depletions resulting from commercial and domestic use to the extent necessary to prevent injury to the CWCB's senior instream flow rights. If the Applicant chooses to install and fill a 48,600 gallon storage tank, the Applicant may irrigate with WPCC Wells No. 1-3 in July and August. The Applicant agrees to not irrigate in September unless the water already stored in WPCC Storage Tank is adequate to replace out-of priority irrigation depletions, including out-of priority post-pumping depletions, resulting from irrigation operations. In the event of a call by the CWCB of its senior instream flow rights that is not covered by releases from either Granby Reservoir or Wolford Mountain Reservoir the Applicant shall provide local augmentation from the WPCC Storage Tank for depletions resulting from the commercial, domestic and augmentation uses to the extent necessary to prevent injury to the CWCB's senior instream flow water rights. The Applicant shall also provide local augmentation from the WPCC Storage Tank for out-of priority depletions resulting from irrigation operations during July and August, including out-of priority pumping and post-pumping depletions, to the extent necessary to prevent injury to the CWCB's senior instream flow rights. In the event of a call by the CWCB of its senior instream flow rights in the month of September, the Applicant shall either voluntarily curtail such irrigation uses or shall provide local augmentation water from the WPCC Storage Tank to replace irrigation depletions including post-pumping depletions. Under this scenario, WPCC Wells No. 1-3 can continue to operate as the year round supply for the commercial, domestic and augmentation uses contemplated in the Decree. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the Applicant's ability to irrigate during the months of May and June. If the Applicant chooses to install and fill a 74,200 gallon storage tank, the Applicant may operate WPCC Wells No. 1-3 as the year round supply for all uses contemplated in this Decree.
