A stage-area-capacity relationship has been developed for Geisert Reservoir; however, if additional sand, gravel or other materials are removed from Geisert Reservoir such that additional capacity is created, up to and limited by the 2,200 acre-foot capacity outlined in Paragraph 9.10 above, then Co-Applicants shall re- survey the reservoir and develop an updated stage-area-capacity curve and provide notice of the enlargement of Geisert Reservoir to the Division Engineer and the opposing parties. The accounting form for Geisert Reservoir is attached hereto as Exhibit C. This accounting form may be integrated with Applicants' other accounting forms. Exhibit C is not decreed herein, and if otherwise consistent with the provisions of this Decree, may be modified from time to time at the request of or as approved by the Division Engineer and with notice to all Objectors in this case, provided that all information contained in Exhibit C and required by this Decree is included. Applicants shall serve notice to Objectors when any changes to Exhibit C are submitted to the Division Engineer. Objectors shall have 63 days from the notice of changes to the accounting form to provide comments to the Division Engineer regarding such proposed changes. The accounting form may be modified in the future; provided, the form includes the following information recorded on a daily basis: the priority, administration number and name of the calling water right, the beginning amount of water in storage, the open water surface area, the computed evaporative losses, the measured inflows, the measured releases, unmeasured and out-of- priority inflows or outflows, the ending amount of water in storage, any releases (if necessary) to reconcile the calculated amount of water in storage and the observed amount of water in storage and tracking of the first fill and refill. 19. Water Year. For purposes of accounting for the water right decreed herein, the water year shall be April 1 through March 31. The total volume of water that may be diverted to storage under the initial fill of the right decreed herein in a water year shall be 2,200 acre feet less the amount of water attributed to the water right decreed herein which is in storage in any reservoir and carried over from March 31 to April 1. Water attributed to other water rights that are stored in Geisert Reservoir at the end of any water year shall not automatically count against the annual fill of the water right decreed herein in the new water year. However, once the water right decreed herein is filling in priority during the new water year and there is insufficient capacity in Geisert Reservoir to continue the initial fill of the water right decreed herein, Applicant shall have the option of: (1) booking over water attributable to the other water rights stored in Geisert Resevoir to the initial fill of the water right decreed herein, (2) choosing not to book over such water, in which case the initial fill of the water right decreed herein shall be deemed paper filled, or (3) releasing such water from Geisert Reservoir. Any such water that is booked over shall be considered to be accounted for as the Weld or Central Rights and counted against that right in Applicant's accounting. Any book over or paper fill shall be at rates and times when water is legally and physically available for diversion under the water right decreed herein. 20. Evaporation. Evaporation in acre-feet shall be calculated by multiplying the daily water surface area, in acres, times the daily rate of gross reservoir evaporation, in feet. The daily rate of gross reservoir evaporation shall be calculated on a real time basis using
