Experience in Colorado water rights law has involved the permitting and adjudication process necessary for procuring
<br />waterrights; Mc Lytle has worked with water districts, developers and mining interests to help procure sufficient water
<br />rights for the projected water supply demand, and has been involved in the development and adjudication process for
<br />plans of augmentation for water districts and developers. Mr. Lytle has appeared as an expert wifiess in Water Court
<br />regarding [he adjudication of nontributazy water rights, direct flow surfacewaterrights, storage rights, changes of use,
<br />changes of points of diversion, and augmentation plans, and has appeared as an expert witness in District Courts of
<br />Colorado regarding the value of Denver Basin ground water rights, surface water rights, surface storage rights, and
<br />gravel pit storage.
<br />Expert testimony has been provided by Mr. Lytle in cases related to surfacewater flow and water quality issues relative
<br />to watershed characterization, runoff duration, hydraulic interaction between surface water and alluvial ground water,
<br />surface flow travel times, and the persistence of volatile organic compounds in the surface flow based on the flow and
<br />duration characteristics.
<br />Mr. Lytle helped develop the scope of work, and was the technical project manager, fora 6-year research and
<br />development project investigating deep well injection, s[orageand recovery ofsurface water supplies. This project was
<br />funded through the U. S. Bureau ofReclamation as part ofthe High Plains States Groundwater Demonstration Program.
<br />Mr. Lytle currently has responsibility for project management in the areas ofhydrologic impact studies, environmental
<br />audits, ground water remediation programs, baseline surface and ground water data collection programs, surface- and
<br />ground- water supply development, surface water modeling studies, ground water modeling studies and water rights
<br />cases.
