The Leased Shares historically irrigated 12 acres, shown on Figure A -1 ("12 Acres ").
Due to potential subsurface irrigation, the 12 acres will be removed from irrigation by
Huntington's Hay Gulch Ditch shares, but Applicant will receive consumptive use credits for
only 9 acres of net dry-up land ( "the 9 Acres"). Using a modified Blaney - Criddle formula, with
adjustments for high altitude and local climate data, it has been determined, that with a full water
supply, the annual crop consumptive use ( "CCU") on the 12 Acres is 1.56 acre -feet per acre. See
Table 2. With a full water supply, the 9 acres will therefore generate 14.07 acre-feet of
consumptive use water on an average annual basis. Table 3, attached hereto shows the daily
CCU attributable to the 9 acres assuming a full water supply ("Full Supply CCU ").
Huntington's ownership of 63 Class A shares in the Ditch Company entities it to 3.94
cfs of the 10.5 cfs decreed to the HGD, or 37.5% of the diversions at the HGD POD. Huntington
historically used its 37.5% of the headgate diversions to irrigate 237 acres. Through the Leased
Shares, Huntington will devote 4.2% of his water to the 9 acres pursuant to this change of water
right, which equates to 1.58% of the total diversions made at the POD of the HGD. The daily
full supply amounts, ditch losses, on -farm losses, and net CCU amounts are shown on Table 3
for the Leased Shares.
Administration of the CCU for the 9 Acres is not based on historic monthly CCU, but
is based on the actual daily CCU available for the 9 Acres based on water availability at the
HGD POD. The volume delivered to Applicant each day from the 9 acres will be the full supply
CCU, as shown on Table 3, or the actual CCU available to the 9 acres based on diversion into the
HGD, whichever is less. Column 6 of Table 3 shows the amount of water which must be
diverted from the La Plata River to provide a full irrigation supply to the 9 acres. If 1.58% of the
total HGD diversion each day is equal to or more than Column 6, then the amount in Column 2
(full supply CCU) will be delivered to Applicant; and the sum of the amounts in Columns 3 and
4 will be released to Hay Gulch. If 1.58% of the HGD diversion each month is less than the
amount shown in Column 6, then the amount delivered to Applicant will be reduced
proportionally based on the actual 1.58% of the HGD diversion divided by the amount in
Column 6 for the appropriate month; and the sum of the amounts in Columns 3 and 4 for release
to Hay Gulch will be reduced by the same proportion.
Applicant will divert, on a daily basis, the amount of daily CCU calculated as
described above. On a daily basis, Applicant will account for the HGD headgate diversion, the
CCU attributable to the 9 acres, and Applicant's return flow obligation for the 9 acres.
6.8.5. Season of Use. Applicant's diversion of the CCU set forth in Paragraph
6.8.4., above, will be diverted only from May 1 st through September 30 of each year.
6.8.6. Return Flows. In order to replicate HGD historical return flow patterns,
Applicant will deliver the ditch losses and return flows associated with the 9 Acres to a drainage
channel adjacent to or upstream of the 12 Acres as shown on Figure A -1. The amount delivered
to replace ditch losses and return flows shall be the sum of Colurtuts 3 and 4 in Table 3, if the full
