assumed to be .25 acre-feet per capita per year. Consumptive use is 35% of gross <br />water use, unless otherwise reported to the Governance Committee by the State of <br />Colorado. The parties agree that the monthly distribution of the depletive effect <br />of this municipal and industrial water use is the same as that defined for the South <br />Platte Basin, unless otherwise reported to the Governance Committee by the State <br />of Colorado.5 <br />3. Piscatorial, wildlife, and other environmental uses: Such uses implemented after <br />July 1, 1997 will constitute new water related activities. Depletions associated <br />with such uses will be determined from Colorado Division of Water Resources <br />information on actual annual depletions. <br />4. Net cumulative effect: To calculate net cumulative effect of depletions in the <br />habitat, the parties agree to apply transit loss factors, measured from the Colorado <br />- Wyoming stateline to Grand Island, Nebraska, to calculated monthly depletions <br />associated with new water related activities. Transit loss factors will be those <br />under development by the Water Management Committee. The result will <br />establish the mitigation requirement on a monthly basis. <br />E. Monitoring and Reporting <br />Reporting will be as described in Section I.D for the South Platte Basin. Colorado will <br />provide an estimate to the Governance Committee for the first reporting period (1997 - <br />2003) of projected increases in: irrigated acreage in Jackson County over 134,467 acres; <br />population over the "population baseline"; new water-intensive industry that might <br />warrant upward adjustments to the gross M&I use factor of .25 acre-feet per capita per <br />year; and new piscatorial, wildlife, and other environmental uses. Similar projections <br />will be made at the beginning of each subsequent reporting period. At the end of the first <br />reporting period, and at the end of each subsequent reporting period, Colorado will report <br />to the Governance Committee: any increases in irrigated acreage over 134,467 acres; <br />population increases over the baseline as determined by the Colorado State <br />Demographer's Office; new water rights decrees and/or well permits associated with the <br />new water-intensive industries that might warrant upward adjustments to the M&I <br />consumptive use factor of .25 acre-feet per capita per year; new water rights decrees <br />and/or well permits for new piscatorial, wildlife, and other environmental uses. In <br />addition, Colorado will monitor and report annually irrigated acreage, irrigation storage, <br />and transbasin diversions. <br />5 These South Platte River Basin derived assumptions probably significantly overstate actual M&I water <br />use in Jackson County. The gross M&I consumptive use assumption of .25 acre-feet per year is probably <br />high because lawn irrigation is less prevalent in Jackson County than in the South Platte River Basin. The <br />actual monthly distribution of the depletive effects associated with M&I use in Jackson County is probably <br />different than that of the South Platte Basin, since Jackson County's higher elevation and shorter, cooler <br />summers limit lawn irrigation to a shorter time period than occurs in the South Platte Basin. Thus, M&I <br />uses in Jackson County are likely to produce fewer depletions during the months of shortage to target flows <br />at Grand Island in comparison with M&I uses in the South Platte Basin. However, in the absences of <br />specific data, Colorado agrees to apply South Platte Basin assumptions to M&I use in Jackson County.
