The priority herein awarded was filed for in the water court in the year of 1989 and shall be administered as having been filed in that year, and shall be junior to all priorities filed in previ- ous years. As between all rights filed in the same calen- dar year, priorities shall be determined by historical date of appropriation and not affected by the date of entry of ruling. The applicant shall install and maintain such mea- suring devices and maintain such records as the Division Engineer may require for administration of this right. 10. The Colorado Water Conservation Board recognizes that Loveland has a decreed water right for 74 c.f.s. for the Idy1wild Power Plant (General Adjudication of November 14, 1939, Boulder County District Court, Case No. 10077).

This term and condition will be included in any subsequent decree granting a point of diversion at the Olympus Dam under the provisions of 82CW202(A) and 89CW128. 12. The appropriation herein shall be satisfied by the total amount of water remaining in the stream, whether that flow is attributable to this decree, or to flows required by an- other agency to be left in the stream, up to the amount of -3-
