The Huerfano-Cucharas [ttigation Company <br />May 12, 2009 (UPDATED May 22, 2009) <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />The Huerfano — Cucharas Irrigation Company <br />Agenda Item 17h <br />The Company was organized in 1944 as a non-profit mutual ditch company. The Company was <br />formed for the purpose of enhancing agriculture by delivering irrigation water to shareholders. The <br />Company has the power to take on debt and to pledge collateral. Five Directors are chosen annually <br />from the 47 shareholders at the annual meeting. There are presently 5,932 shares assessed at $10.00 <br />per share. Assessments are voted on by the majority of shares at the annual meeting (or special <br />assessment meeting). The Company may place a lien on delinquent stock payments and stop <br />delivery of water. The Company may sell qualified delinquent stock in order to pay for back <br />assessments. <br />Water Rights <br />The Company has direct flow rights and reservoir storage rights as shown in Table 1: <br />Table 1.

The no-action <br />alternative has a significant cost associated with the breaching of the dam and effectively shows <br />intent to abandon a viable and valuable storage right. This is an unacceptable alternative <br />because of the high cost and no benefit associated with this action. <br />
