J R. <br />BOULDER, CO 00300-1440 <br />PAUL F. HOLLCMAN <br />May 24, 1994 <br />Danny C. Merriman <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Re: Instream Flow Agreements Between the Board and Boulder <br />Dear Dan: <br />In Boulder's recent discussions with the Forest Service <br />about the Lakewood Pipeline, the possibility was raised by the <br />Forest Service that the Board might in the future subordinate the <br />donated water rights to some other more junior water rights. <br />Paragraph 20 of the July 20, 1990 Agreement between the Board and <br />Boulder prohibits alienation of the donated water rights by the <br />Board without Boulder's written consent. Paragraph 20 is <br />incorporated by reference into the December 14, 1990 First Addendum <br />to Agreement and the May 26, 1992 Second Addendum to Agreement <br />between the Board and Boulder. Boulder understands alienation to <br />include subordination and interprets the non - alienation provisions <br />of paragraph 20 to prohibit subordination of the donated water <br />rights unless Boulder gives its written consent. In order to <br />eliminate this as an issue in its discussions with the Forest <br />Service, Boulder requests clarification from the Board that the <br />Board agrees with Boulder's above - described understanding and <br />interpretation of paragraph 20. <br />Sincerely, <br />MOSES, WITTEMYER, HARRISON <br />AND WOODRUFF, P.C. <br />B 4 " <br />VAS /rlo Veronica A.
