then be used as specified in paragraph 14.A of the Original <br />Decree. <br />e. Exchan es: Applicant has proposed to store water <br />for augmentation purposes in any one or a combination of the <br />Storage Rights in exchange for water introduced in the Trout <br />Creek stream system from the Ditch Rights. Applicant requests an <br />appropriative right of exchange with an appropriation date of <br />August 8, 1990, based on the work performed at its mine to <br />quantify and design the proposed exchange, commencement and <br />completion of water rights adjudication proceedings for use of <br />the water sources described above, and the filing of this <br />application. The maximum rate for the requested exchange rights <br />will be the decreed rates of flow for those Ditch Rights being <br />stored. Such exchange will be operated only at such times that <br />there is water physically available for storage in the Storage <br />Rights and the Storage RigY;ts themselves are not in prio;-i.ty. To <br />the extent that any out-of-priority depletions are replaced to <br />the Trout Creek system at points downstream of the actual <br />depletion, applicant requests an appropriative right of exchange <br />with an appropriation date of August 8, 1990, based on the work <br />performed at the Yampa Mine to design and quantify this <br />augmentation plan and the filing of this application. These <br />exchanges shall be conditional until such time as they are <br />actually operated by Applicant. <br />f. Evaporation Loss: Applicant will augment <br />evaporation loss from water stored in the Storage Rights as <br />determined by the Division Engineer. <br />g. New Sources of Mine Water: The water rights to be <br />augmented include new sources of water encountered during mining <br />which will be controlled and put to beneficial use as described <br />in paragraph S.c above. Applicant has proposed that these <br />sources of water be subject to augmentation in accordance with <br />the decree entered in this case and the Original Decree, without <br />any requirement that applicant amend, republish or reopen this <br />action, or otherwise provide notice of its use of such additional <br />sources of water, so long as accurate accounting for the use of <br />such water is maintained. Well permit applications have been <br />submitted to the State Engineer for each current discharge point <br />from the underground sources of mine water. New well permit <br />applications shall be submitted by the Applicant for each new <br />discharge point located over 200 feet from the location of any <br />permitted discharge point. The State Engineer shall evaluate all <br />well permit applications pursuant to Colo. Rev. Stat. <br />4 37-90-137(2), except that such additional mine discharge points <br />may be located within 600 feet of existing discharge points or <br />wells owned by Applicant. A combined flow rate from all <br />underground mine sources shall not exceed 1.5 c.f.s. <br />-14- <br />
