Case No. 09CW I05 <br /> Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, <br /> Judgment and Decree <br /> Page 21 of 28 <br /> including the distance from the center of the gravel pit to the impacted stream (X), the <br /> width of the aquifer on the side of the river where the gravel pit is located (W), the <br /> harmonic transmissivity of the aquifer (T), and the storage coefficient (S). Data from a <br /> local pump test were used to establish the aquifer parameters (a transmissivity of 50,000 <br /> gallons per day per foot and a storage coefficient to 0.2). The X, W, T and storage <br /> coefficient parameters are shown in the following table: <br /> Gravel Pit XXftj W(ft) S T GPD/ft <br /> Walters and Bokelman Pits 661.0 981.0 0.2 50,000 <br /> Green and Croissant Pits 1,152.5 2,179.25 0.2 50,000 <br /> 36.2 On November 1 of each year while mining operations are ongoing at each <br /> site, LRM shall determine the total current exposed surface area for each site for the next <br /> year, and calculate actual out of priority net evaporative depletions pursuant to Paragraph <br /> 35.2. Out of priority net evaporative depletions shall be replaced pursuant to the lagging <br /> pattern set forth in Paragraph 36.1. After completion of mining at each site, LRM shall <br /> make a final determination of the total exposed surface area at the completed site pursuant <br /> to Paragraph 35.2 and the lagging pattern to be used to make replacement of out of priority <br /> evaporative depletions pursuant to Paragraph 36.1 and calculate out of priority depletions <br /> for the completed site pursuant to Paragraph 35.2. <br /> 37. Sources of Augmentation Water(may be by first use or use of return flow from a <br /> prior use): <br /> 37.1 3 shares of the Consolidated Hillsborough Ditch Company described above. <br /> 37.2 LRM has the right to up to 200 acre-feet per year of fully consumable water <br /> leased from the City of Loveland for augmentation use pursuant to the Lease of Fully <br /> Consumable Water between LRM and the City of Loveland dated January 13, 1998 <br /> ("Leased Water"). <br /> 37.2.1 In supplying the Leased Water to LRM, the City of Loveland may <br /> use any water, including, but not limited to the following sources of water which <br /> may be used to extinction: <br /> a. Native water from the Big Thompson River basin which, when <br /> stored within the City's reservoir system, may be totally consumed pursuant <br /> to the terms and conditions of the decree in Case No. 82CW202A, Water <br /> Division 1; and <br /> 1 b. Water under an allotment contract with the Municipal Sub- <br /> District of the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, commonly <br /> known as Windy Gap Water; and <br /> i <br />
