PARAGRAPHS 8 AND 9 FROM D CONTRACT OF ]LSPWCD 8. Assessments for this petition are based on unreplaced depletions computed as out of priority depletions minus the available replacement water during out of priority periods as computed through the following procedure: Monthly accretions to the South Platte River from recharge replacement water listed in ¶7 will be computed from the SDF groundwater model or such other model or method determined by Lower in it's sole discretion. $ per acre-foot assessment from ¶9a multiplied by total pumping determined from ¶8a for all wells in ¶Sa multiplied by the factor E(DEP - ACC) EDEP a. Monthly values in acre-feet for consumptive use (CU) of groundwater for each well in ¶Sa will be computed as total monthly CU (determined by irrigated acres for each crop type and monthly ET weather station data) MINUS the monthly measured deliveries to the same irrigated acres of the surface water sources in ¶Sb multiplied by an irrigation application efficiency (i.e., 50% gravity, 75% sprinkler, or computed). The sum of these computed monthly CU of groundwater values will be compared to the total pumping in acre-feet for the irrigation season currently computed by Lower from electrical power records multiplied by the inigation application efficiency. If these two values compare within 20% of each other, an average of the two values will be used with the monthly percent CU distribution. If these two values do not compare within 20%, further analysis will be done to resolve the discrepancy. The values used for total monthly CU, deliveries of surface water, irrigation efficiency and total pumping shall be subject to the sole discretion of Lower. Lower may use another method to determine pumping at it's discretion. b. Monthly depletions to the South Platte River for each well listed in ¶Sa will be computed from the SDF groundwater model where inputs to the model are the computed m.onthly CU of groundwater from ¶8a for each well and the SDF value listed for each well in ¶Sa or such other model or method determined by Lower in it's sole discretion. d. By month, the out of priority depletions (DEP) in acre-feet for all the ¶Sa wells will be compared to the available replacement water (ACC) in acre-feet during the out of priority period of the month. e. For months where DEP is greater than ACC, the monthly values of (DEP-ACC) will be totaled and indicated as E(DEP-ACC). The Petitioner's assessments for these months will be computed as follows: Where EDEP is the total out of priority depletions for all months. 9 f. For months where ACC is greater than DEP, the monthly values of (ACC-DEP) will be totaled and indicated as E(ACC-DEP). This total is the excess out of priority accretions. Lower will lease these excess out of priority accretions at the current $ per acre-foot lease rate for accretions listed in 19c. g. One financial transaction will occur between the parties, Lower and the Petitioner. The difference between the dollar amounts for ¶8e and ¶8f will determine which party owes the other party and how much is owed. Also included in this computation for dollars owed will be the fixed administration fee per well from ¶9b owed by the Petitioner to I,ower. h. This procedure may be modified and Petitioner will be notified of such modifications at the time of receipt of an annual bill of assessment. i. When a need develops for replacement/accretion water during periods when the wells are not out of priority (i.e., "in priority periods"), Lower will have the first option to lease from the Petitioner such water at the $ per acre-foot rate then applicable for such water minus a 25% administration fee. The dollar fees referred to in ¶8 are as follows: a. $ per acre-foot pumped assessment fee is 2.00 . . V 45 b. Fixed administration fee per well for this D Contract is $25.00 t r,??J??? a a c. $ per acre-foot for lease of excess out of priority replacement/accretion water is 7.00 . ? 3Q,ieWe r ac-4 .-?
