This is an application for a Plan for Augmentation and Change of water rights on the <br />South Fork of the Rio Grande near the town of South Fork in Rio Grande County (see attached <br />map). In this application, the Applicant proposes to augment depletions associated with several <br />wells supplying water to the Foothills Estates No.2 subdivision for domestic, commercial and <br />municipal purposes. The Applicant proposes to augment depletions with consumptive use <br />credits from the Church Ditch, which is located upstream. The wastewater is proposed to be <br />treated at a treatment facility located downstream from the confluence of the Rio Grande and the <br />South Fork of the Rio Grande. <br /> <br />CWCB Appropriations <br /> <br />The Board holds an instream flow right on the South Fork of the Rio Grande for 50.0 cfs during <br />the summer months and 25.0 cfs during the winter months with an appropriation date of August <br />16, 1982, which may be injured by this application. During the non-irrigation season, the Church <br />Ditch will not replace depletions to the Board's instream flow rights.
