Agreement or the First Increment of the program. The population baseline for Jackson County is <br />2022 people. Colorado estimates that the 2004 population for Jackson County is 1,554 people. <br />The State demographer does not predict the Jackson County population to exceed 2022 people by <br />the end of the First Increment. <br />Piscatorial, wildlife, and other environmental uses irnplemented on or before July l, 1997 will <br />constitute existing uses. Any water diverted for new uses for these purposes implemented after July <br />1, 1997 will constitute new water related activities. <br />D. New Water Related ActiviHes. <br />For purposes of the Prograin Cooperative Agreement, the parties agree to the following: <br />Agricultura! Water Use: Imgation of more than 134,468 will constitute new water related <br />activities. The parties agree that net depletions (diversions less rehun flows) associated with <br />irrigating additional acres as measured at the Colorado - Wyoming state line equal .83 acre- <br />feet per acre during the irrigation season. Colorado does not expect to have any new <br />depletions during the first increment. <br />2. Municipal and industrial use (M&1): Colorado does not expect the Jackson County <br />population to exceed 2022 in the First Increment. When population in Jackson County <br />reaches 1900, Colorado will present a municipal and industrial new depletion plan to the <br />Governance Committee for approval. Similaz to the methodology adopted for the South <br />Platte new depletion plan, new municipal and industrial water uses are assumed to be .27 acre- <br />feet per capita per year. Consumptive use is 35% of gross water use, unless otherwise reported <br />to the Governance Committee by the State of Colorado. The parties agree that the monthly <br />distribution of the depletive effect of this municipal and industrial water use is the same as <br />that defined for the South Platte Basin, unless otherwise reported to the Governance <br />Committee by the State of Colorado. <br />3. Piscatorial, wildlife, and other environmental uses: To the extent that these uses are not <br />incidental to an existing or new irrigation use, such uses implemented after July 1, 1997 will <br />constitute new water related activities. Net depletions associated with such uses will be <br />determined from Colorado Division of Water Resources information on actual annual net <br />depletions. It is expected that all piscatorial, wildlife, and other environmental uses will <br />have a federal nexus, but Colorado will monitor these uses through the Division of Water <br />Resources and the water court resumes for Water Division No. 6. If there are significant <br />piscatorial, wildlife, and other environmental uses occurring, which are not incidental to <br />irrigation uses, and that do not have a federal nexus, then Colorado will present new <br />depletion plan (to address these depletions) to the Govemance Committee for approval. <br />Colorado does not expect to have any new piscatorial, wildlife, or other environmental uses <br />(which are not incidental to irrigation uses) in the first increment <br />E. Monitorin$ and Reaortine. <br />Uuring the first increment, Colorado does not foresee any: projected increases in: 1) irrigated acreage <br />in Jackson County over 134,467 acres; 2) population over the 2022 person "population baseline"; or 3) <br />significant non-nexus piscatorial, wildlife, or other environmental uses (which are not incidental to <br />irrigation uses). Similar projections will be made at the beginning of each subsequent reporting <br />period. At the end of the first reporting period, and at the end of each subsequent reporting period, <br />December 7, 2005 Colorado Depletions PJan
