South Platte Combined Replacement Plan March 1, 2017 Page 7 of 19 The dry -up locations for the subject Whitney Ditch shares were originally identified through an April 12, 2011 letter to the Division 1 Engineer. That letter stated the northern portion of Orr Farm #1 may continue to be irrigated using 1 of the 13.5 Whitney Ditch shares owned by the Applicant. In 2011 the entire Orr Ditch Farm #1 was removed from irrigation due to damage to the lateral serving the property. Therefore the entire farm is included as a dry -up location for all 13.5 shares dedicated to the plan in 2017. The share dedication dated February 29, 2012 remains valid and is attached. L.G. Everist Lease Aggregate has entered into a lease with L.G. Everist, Inc. for up to 32 acre-feet of storage water from the Everist Star Reservoir (WDID 0303325). A copy of the agreement is attached. Everist Star Reservoir is part of the Feit Gravel Pit (M-1977-522), and is primarily located in the SEI/a of the SW1/a and the SWI/a of the SEI/4 of Section 26, Township 6 North, Range 66 West, 6th P.M., adjacent to the Cache la Poudre River. The slurry wall liner for the Everist Star Reservoir was approved as having been lined to the design standard referenced in the August 1999 State Engineer Guidelines for Lining Criteria for Gravel Pits in a letter dated December 16, 2014 (amended March 6, 2015) and it is therefore classified as a lined reservoir. Deliveries from the Everist Star Reservoir will be to the Cache la Poudre River via a submersible pump. Aggregate anticipates utilizing 9.70 acre-feet in April 2017 and 19.30 acre-feet in October 2017. The headgate for the Greeley No. 3 Ditch is located between the point of depletion of the W.W. Farms Pit and the Everist Star Reservoir (downstream point of release). During times when the Greeley No. 3 Canal is calling for water, Aggregate is not permitted to use the water released from the Everist Star Reservoir as a replacement source for depletions from the W.W. Farms Pit. If Aggregate's Whitney Ditch shares are insufficient or unable to replace depletions associated with the W.W. Farms Pit above the Greeley No. 3 Canal when it is calling, Aggregate is required to make replacements above the headgate for the Greeley No. 3 Ditch by trucking water from the Everist Star Reservoir or otherwise acquiring an alternate replacement source. St. Vrain River Martin Marietta Lease Aggregate has entered into a water lease agreement with Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. for 13.0 acre-feet of fully consumable water stored in Heaton Reservoir (WDID 0504089). A copy of the lease agreement, dated December 20, 2016, is attached. Heaton Reservoir is part of the Hamm Pit (M-1987-176), and is located in the NYz of the NE' of Section 9, Township 2 North, Range 68 West, 6'h P.M., adjacent to the confluence of Boulder Creek with St. Vrain Creek. There are no intervening water rights between the Distel and Tull Pits (upstream points of depletion) and the Heaton Reservoir (downstream point of release). The slurry wall liner for the Heaton Reservoir was approved as having been lined to the design standard referenced in the August 1999 State Engineer Guidelines for Lining Criteria for Gravel Pits in a letter dated April 7, 2003 and it is therefore classified as a lined reservoir. Deliveries from Heaton Reservoir will made be to Boulder Creek during the period of April through October 2017 pursuant to the attached delivery schedule.
