Well Augmentation Subdistrict - Loan Feasibility Study <br />Page 10 <br />2). Senior water rights changed by WAS for augmentation use total approximately 1,000 acre -feet <br />per year, i.e., about 1,000 acre -feet may be used in the projection of WAS operations. WAS owns the <br />decree for Shores Lake which can store water under junior priorities (7,500 acre - feet), and WAS <br />owns one -third of the decree (22,700 acre -feet) authorizing CCWCD's Recharge and Exchange Plan <br />(C -REP). C -REP consists of multiple recharge projects and includes diversions to recharge and <br />operation of exchanges under junior water rights. WAS can project water water previously <br />delivered to their storage and recharge projects but may not project new diversions under the <br />junior recharge rights for these projects. <br />Table 2 <br />Water Rights - Well Augmentation Subdistrict <br />Case No. <br />Decree Date <br />Water Right <br />Priority <br />04CW276 <br />11/20/2009 <br />Farmers Indendent Ditch Company (84.7 af) <br />Senior <br />05CW223 <br />1/24/2011 <br />Godfrey Ditch Company (82.3 af) <br />Senior <br />03CW348 <br />6/26/2009 <br />Greeley Irrigation Company (195.9 af) <br />Senior <br />11CW020 <br />Pending <br />Greeley Irrigation Company (72.2 af) <br />Senior <br />01CW255 <br />5/6/2010 <br />Rural Ditch Company (137.9 af) <br />Senior <br />01CW255 <br />5/6/2010 <br />Godding Ditch Company (168.3 af) <br />Senior <br />01CW255 <br />5/6/2010 <br />Boulder and Whiterock Ditch and Reservoir Company (7.9 af) <br />Senior <br />01CW255 <br />5/6/2010 <br />McCormick Seepage Ditch (7.9 af) <br />Senior <br />01CW255 <br />5/6/2010 <br />Coie Seepage Ditch (10.3 af) <br />Senior <br />01CW255 <br />5/6/2010 <br />Mayfield Seepage Ditch (8.2 af) <br />Senior <br />12CW <br />Pending <br />Rural Ditch Company (100.0 af) <br />Senior <br />12CW <br />Pending <br />Godding Ditch Company (150.0 af) <br />Senior <br />7/22/2009 <br />1 Shores Lake (7,500 af) <br />Junior <br />�OOCW083 <br />OKW331 <br />9/19/2011 <br />1 Central Recharge and Exchange Plan (22,700 af) <br />Junior <br />WAS also relies on several lease agreements of limited duration to provide additional replacement <br />water supplies. Pursuant to their augmentation plan decree, WAS may project operations using <br />leased sources for the period of the leases but may not project the ability to secure additional <br />leases. Water leases are a very important component of WAS water supplies and in recent years it <br />has become increasingly difficult for WAS to secure long -term leases. <br />Since 2009 WAS has also used water supplies delivered through the Colorado -Big Thompson <br />Project (CBT) to replace depletions from prior -year pumping. WAS can use CBT to replace <br />depletions associated with member well pumping that occurred prior to the year 2003. The statute <br />allowing WAS to use CBT as a replacement water supply sunsets in the year 2017. <br />AUGMENTATION PLAN DECREED IN CASE NO. 03CW099 <br />The decree adjudicating the WAS plan for augmentation requires projection of future operations to <br />demonstrate that sufficient water supplies will be available to fully replace out -of- priority well <br />depletions. The projections occur using a "projection tool" that compares future depletions caused <br />by well pumping to the future replacement supplies that WAS will have available. WAS is required <br />to project operations for a period of at least seven years and must project a continuous very senior <br />LeonardRice <br />ENGINEERS.INC. <br />
