Mr. Richard T. Raines March 2, 2004 model for the 112 Pit, the water placed in the 112 pit will incur an evaporation loss of 5% or 3.1 acre-feet. The 112 Pit has access to a ditch headgate, which will be used to deliver the excess river credits to the lined reservoir for storage. The stored water will be released from the pit to cover depletions from the site as shown in attached table no. 5. The 3.75 shares of the Rural Ditch were historically used to irrigate the four farms listed below: Adler Farm The Adler farm was historically irrigated using 5 shares of the Rural Ditch of which Weld County owns 1 share. The 5 shares were historically used to irrigate 168 acres of corn and 63 acres of Pasture grass, all of which has been taken out of production. The historic consumptive use of the 5 shares was determined to be 209.6 acre-feet. The prorata historic consumptive use for 1 share is 41.9 acre-feet. Gould Farm The Gould farm was historically irrigated using 2 shares of the Rural Ditch of which Weld County owns 1 share. The 2 shares were historically used to irrigate 55 acres of corn, all of which has been taken out of production. The historic consumptive use of the 2 shares was determined to be 66.4 acre-feet. The prorata historic consumptive use for 1 share is 33.2 acre- feet. The Villa Prone The Villa Property was historically irrigated using 1.5 shares of the Rural Ditch owned by Weld County. The 1.5 shares were historically used to irrigate 27 acres of com and 27 acres of Pasture grass, all of which has been taken out of production. The historic consumptive use of the 1.5 shares was determined to be 61.7 acre-feet. Slovek Prone The Slovek Property was historically irrigated using 1 share of the Rural Ditch of which Weld County owns 0.25 shares. The 1 share was historically used to irrigate 30 acres of com and 30 acres of Pasture grass, all of which has been taken out of production. The historic consumptive use of the 1 share was determined to be 50.5 acre-feet. The prorata historic consumptive use for 0.25 shares is 12.6 acre-feet. A monthly breakdown of depletions and replacements is shown on the attached Table Nos. 4 and 5 which were submitted with your report. I approve the proposed substitute water supply plan in accordance with Section 37-90- 137(11), C.R.S., subject to the following conditions: This plan shall be valid through March 31, 2004, unless otherwise revoked or modified. This plan will be extended through December 31, 2004 if a copy of the 2004 lease agreement with the St. Vrain & Left Hand Water Conservancy District is submitted to the State Engineers office by March 31, 2004. This plan will then be extended through October 5, 2005 if copy of the 2005 lease agreement with the City of Greeley and the St. Vrain & Left Hand Water Conservancy District is submitted to the State Engineer's office by December 31, 2004.
