fl <br />It is noted that numerous upstream water users have filed water rights <br />applications in recent months to ensure that existing undecreed uses can be properly <br />enrolled in the priority system. Remaining undecreed water users continue to have the <br />option during 2006 to make Water Court applications. To the extent that these <br />undecreed uses were in existence prior to February 23, 2006, these water rights would <br />presumably be decreed as senior to the pending RICD claim if such applications are <br />filed during 2006. <br />Downstream Water Rights <br />Water rights downstream of the Boating Park would reuse water delivered <br />pursuant to the RICD within the State of Colorado. The Animas River runs 21 river miles <br />below the Boating Park before reaching the state line. This river segment includes 120 <br />cfs of absolute direct -flow water rights and three acre -feet of absolute storage water <br />rights. With respect to conditional water rights, the District 30 tabulation indicates 420 <br />cfs of direct -flow water rights and 120,000 acre -feet of storage water rights. <br />Essentially all of the 120,000 acre -feet of conditional storage water rights are <br />decreed to the Animas -La Plata Project. Of the 420 cfs of conditional direct flow rights, <br />280 cfs is attributable to the Durango Pumping Plant that will divert water for the Animas - <br />La Project. The extent of downstream Animas River use will depend, in large part, on <br />development and operation of the Animas -La Plata Project. <br />Animas -La Plata Project <br />The Durango Pumping Plant will divert water from the Animas River below the <br />Boating Park location, as shown in Figure 1. The pump station will have a diversion <br />capacity of approximately 280 cfs. Water will be delivered to Lake Nighthorse, which will <br />' be formed by Ridges Basin Dam southwest of the City. Lake Nighthorse will have a total <br />capacity of 120,000 acre -feet, of which 90,000 acre -feet will be active storage. Storage <br />releases will be made back to the Animas River for municipal and industrial uses within <br />' Colorado and New Mexico. The Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau) will own and operate <br />the project. <br />1 8 <br />
