C.R.S. § 37-90-137(11)(b), augmentation plans decreed prior to July 1, 1989 "shall be
<br /> given full effect and shall be enforced according to their terms." Therefore, Case No. W-
<br /> 7412 continues to govern augmentation of those ponds and use of the Rist& Goss Ditch
<br /> water remains governed by the decree in Case No. W-7412. All references below to the
<br /> Larimer Pits, the amount of exposed ground water, depletions and augmentation
<br /> requirements exclude pits 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 and 1 I which are subject to Case No. W-7412.
<br /> 3.3 Prior decrees for augmentation water rights: In Case No. 00CW 143, Loveland
<br /> Ready Mix changed the uses of 120 Barnes Ditch contract inches to allow storage and uses,
<br /> among others, augmenting depletions from its gravel mining operations at the Gravel Pits.
<br /> Conditional storage rights were decreed for Loveland Ready Mix Ponds 1 and 2 (aka Larimer
<br /> Pits 16 and 17) in Case No. 98CW43I. The 120 Barnes Ditch contract inches and the storage
<br /> rights will provide the augmentation water supply for the augmentation plan decreed herein.
