11/19/2012
COMMITMENTS OF THE DISTRICT
1. The District agrees that the use of water rights under the A -LP Decrees for
purposes other than providing a water supply for the Existing A -LP shall be subordinate to the
use of water for the Existing A -LP, including any additional use of water that may be required to
fully implement the IGA.
2. The District shall consult and coordinate with the Association prior to taking any
action that might affect the Existing A -LP, its potential operations under the IGA, or the interests
of the Association related to the A -LP Decrees. Any development of the remainder of the water
rights under the ALP Decrees not needed for the Existing A -LP shall be accomplished in a
manner that does not interfere with the efficient operation of the Existing A -LP and reasonably
protects the ability of the Association to operate the Existing ALP pursuant to the IGA.
The District shall not divert water pursuant to its rights under the A -LP Decrees at
such times as the exercise of that right by the District would result in the curtailment of
diversions required for the benefit of the Existing ALP (whether to storage or for direct diversion
and including any diversions required to operate under the IGA) because of the effect of the
District's diversions on the ability to meet the By -pass flows for the Existing ALP. The By -pass
flows shall not be considered to meet any portion of the water supply for the beneficiaries of the
Existing ALP.
4. The District shall cooperate with the Association in its efforts to ensure that the
Existing ALP may be operated consistent with the IGA, including the ability to operate the
Existing A -LP during recovery from drought conditions to optimize the amount of water pumped
to storage when its members and contractors are taking water directly from the River. This
commitment includes joining with the Association in filing an application in Colorado water
