BEATTIE,HOUPT&JARVIS,LLP <br /> ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELORS AT LAW <br /> Ben Langenfeld <br /> March 12, 2019 <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> Moreover,to require the adjudication of a change of water right to simply change the label <br /> of an activity that was clearly contemplated by the parties and the court in Case No. 97CW394 is <br /> an expensive exercise in semantics that does not alter the actual beneficial use to which the water <br /> is being put. <br /> It is my opinion that the uses decreed to the Douglas Mountain Ranch Reservoir Collection <br /> System in Case No. 97CW394,which includes commercial use and which clearly contemplate the <br /> use of water in connection with the excavation of alluvial fill materials, are sufficient in scope to <br /> include gravel washing and dust control, and that there is no need to adjudicate a change of that <br /> water right in order to allow it to be used for those purposes. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> efferson V.
