Dick Wolfe r..�_. 1 '1nnn Jul ' 1, GVUY Page 3 shown in Column [12]. Further background on RMCC's Fulton Ditch shares was given in the December 18, 2006 SWSP request. Other Stored Water Additional replacement requirements will first be provided by water that RMCC has in storage (110 ac -ft at the beginning of June 2009). Releases from storage for the Bromley Lakes Pit replacements are shown in Table 1B, Column [16]. Total required storage releases for all three pits are shown in Table 2, Column [6]. RMCC's portion of Kenneth Mitchell evaporation was estimated based upon conservative storage projections provided by the City of Brighton. Lease Water Any remaining replacement requirement will be replaced by water leased from the City of Brighton as shown in the Table 1B, Column [18]. The City of Brighton will either make releases from Kenneth Mitchell Lake or will provide augmentation water from other sources approved by the Water Commissioner. Brighton's agreement to lease water to RMCC is attached. OPERATION OF PLAN In order to prevent injury to other vested water rights, RMCC proposes to operate the SWSP for the Bromley Lakes Pit under the following terms and conditions: 1. The total surface area of exposed groundwater at the Bromley Lakes Pit shall not exceed 44 acres. 2. RMCC will measure and deliver 25 shares of Fulton Ditch released directly to the river or delivered to storage at Kenneth Mitchell Lake. All releases from storage will also be measured before delivery into the South Platte River. 3. The Fulton shares committed to this SWSP shall not be sold or leased to any other entity. The Fulton shares shall remain appurtenant to the Bromley Lakes site (Ready Mixed Pit 1, Bromley Lakes Pit, and North Tower Pit) until the plan for augmentation is obtained. 4. The contact person for purposes of this SWSP, who will be responsible for operation and accounting of this plan, shall be Julia Keedy in our office. She can be reached at the letterhead address and phone number, and her email address is ikeedyna,bbawater.com. Tables 1A and 1B give the individualized monthly accounting for the pit's out -of -priority depletions and replacement sources. The Fulton Ditch credits will be released to the river in the summer months in order to replace all out -of -priority depletions. The excess Fulton Ditch credits will be diverted to storage in order to be used for wintertime releases. After applying the credits and return flow requirements associated with 25 Fulton Ditch shares, the remaining replacement 1'),1w�v�.bbawatcr.co:n
