The attached Table 5 shows the estimated <br /> monthly depletions and replacements for this plan period. <br /> Greeley Irrigation Company ("GIC") Shares <br /> Hiner owns a total of 6.25 shares of the Greeley Irrigation Company ("GIC") under the <br /> following certificates: <br /> Certificate No. No. of Shares Original Property <br /> 2835 0.5 John Et Barbara Barrett <br /> 3044 0.5 David Beckers <br /> 3352 0.5 Carmen Duran <br /> 3356 0.25 Mary Jane Johnson <br /> 3358 0.5 Darrin Morse <br /> 3364 0.2 Ray Smith <br /> 3365 0.8 Steve Et Linda Story <br /> 3413 3.0 Henry M. Karre <br /> A portion of the Greeley Canal No. 3 (WDID 0300934) was changed in Division 1 Water Court in <br /> case no. 1996CW658 based on a ditch-wide analysis by the Poudre Prairie Mutual Reservoir and <br /> Irrigation Company. Each share of GIC water provides the shareholder with both GIC direct flow <br /> water and Fossil Creek Reservoir water. The use of the subject ditch shares in this plan shall be in <br /> accordance with the terms and conditions decreed in case no. 1996CW658, including monthly and <br /> annual volumetric limits on water deliveries and monthly return flow requirements. The decree in <br /> case no. 1996CW658 found that 519.7 shares were used to irrigate 3,501 acres with an average <br /> historical consumptive use of 5,358 acre-feet per year, which yields an average consumptive use <br /> credit of 10.31 acre-feet per share (5,358 acre-feet : 519.7 shares). <br /> Based on this pro-rata consumptive use, the 6.25 shares to be used in this plan are expected <br /> to yield 64.44 acre-feet of consumptive use annually (10.31 acre-feet per share X 6.25 shares). <br /> Paragraph 6.7.4 of the Poudre Prairie Decree limited future farm headgate deliveries of the GIC <br /> shares to 1,712 acre-feet per year (25.26 acre-feet per share) and 12,631 acre-feet (186.43 acre-feet <br /> per share) in any consecutive 10 year period. Deliveries of the 6.25 shares under this SWSP must <br /> comply with these limits. <br /> The ditch-wide analysis decreed in case no. 1996CW658 determined the acreage irrigated <br /> with GIC water rights was 3,501 acres, or 6.74 acres per share. Of that, 2,098 acres were <br /> determined to have been dried up as a result of development ("dry-up pool"). The total required <br /> dry-up associated with the subject 6.25 shares is 42.1 acres. Dry up covenants have been obtained <br /> for the following shares: <br />
