At any time and to the extent these Limited Future Exchanges by Southeastern are or will be called out by Chaffee County's RICO's, Southeastern may request and Chaffee County shall observe a Reduced RICO Call (described below at paragraph 5), subject to the conditions and limitations set forth below in paragraph 4. A meeting of the Flow Coordination Committee (described below at paragraph 6) will promptly be arranged in order to determine the extent of the needed Reduced RICO Call consistent with this Agreement and to help facilitate such exchanges under the Reduced RICO Call. b. Projected population growth upstream of Salida in Chaffee County for the year 2030 indicates a possible increase in water demand of 3,890 acre-feet. Water supply entities serving areas or with facilities upstream of the RICOs may need to conduct exchanges or make other new appropriations to meet these anticipated demands. To the extent these Limited Future Exchanges (or other new appropriations) for future upstream water demand within Chaffee County are called out by Chaffee County's RICOs, the Chaffee County water supply entities needing such upstream water supply may request, and if requested Chaffee County shall observe, a Reduced RICO Call (described below at paragraph 5) to help facilitate such Limited Future Exchanges, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth below in paragraph 4. If needed, a meeting of the Flow Coordination Committee (described below at paragraph 6) will promptly be arranged to determine the extent of the needed Reduced RICO Call consistent with this Agreement to help facilitate such exchanges. Chaffee County's rights set out in this paragraph are assignable to entities providing water service within Chaffee County, without consent of the Parties, so long as the exchanges or appropriations remain for the benefit of water users in Chaffee County. c. BWWP has conditional and absolute exchange rights decreed in Cases No. 84CWI77 (sewered and non-sewered phase) and 84CWI78 that may affect the flows in the County's RICOs. These exchange rights are senior to the RICOs. To supplement these senior decreed exchanges, BWWP may operate in the future, additional exchanges which will be junior to Chaffee County's RICOs. To the extent that these Limited Future Exchanges by BWWP are called out by Chaffee County's RICOs, BWWP may request and Chaffee County shall observe, a Reduced RICO Call (described below at paragraph 5), subject to the conditions and limitations set forth below in paragraph 4. A meeting of the Flow Coordination Committee (described below at paragraph 6) will promptly be arranged in order to determine the extent of the needed Reduced RICO Call consistent with this Agreement and to help facilitate such exchanges under the Reduced RICO Call. d. CS-U has conditional and absolute exchange rights decreed in Case Nos. 84CWI63, 84CW202, 84CW203, 86CWl18, and 89CW36 (sewered and non-sewered phase) S62341 5
