Riverside Reservoir and Land Company Riverside Irrigation District Farmers State Bank of Brush Case No. 90-CW-189 Page 10 24. rater rights to be used for augmentation: 50$ of the recharge credits generated pursuant to this Decree. 25. General description of the plan for augmentation: Water will be diverted into the Riverside Canal when the water right claimed in Section B above is in priority. Such water then will be delivered for storage in Riverside Reservoir, Wildcat Reservoir, or the Recharge Ponds. Water so stored in Riverside Reservoir or wildcat Reservoir may subsequently be released and delivered by the Riverside Canal for storage in the Recharge Ponds. Water so stored in the Recharge Ponds will infiltrate, recharge, and augment the South Platte River and its alluvium. Zn addition, when such water is so released into and delivered through the Riverside Canal from the Bruce Weir to Antelope Draw and through Antelope Draw to the Recharge Ponds as described below a certain percentage of such water will also infiltrate, recharge, and augment the South Platte River and its alluvium. Pursuant to this plan, 50~ of the amount of water so added to the river system will be used to augment and balance otherwise out-of-priority depletions caused by use of the struc- tures described in paragraph 21 above. This plan is hereinafter referred to as the "Headley Recharge and Augmentation Project". 26. Independent administration: The Headley Recharge and Augmentation Project will be administered independently from the irrigation activities of the Riverside Irrigation system, so that the historical return flow regimen of the Riverside system will not be altered. However, there will be temporary sharing of facilities, and in some cases, concurrent storage of water in Riverside Reservoir and the proposed wildcat Reservoir. 27. General description of temporary storage: At times, water diverted pursuant to the water right de- scribed in Section B above, may be stored in Riverside Reservoir and/or the proposed Wildcat Reservoir on a temporary basis. The water so stored may be released later for recharge purposes. At other times, recharge waters may pass through the reservoirs with no temporary storage.
