Statement of plan for augmentation: Applicant will use both its water rights from <br />the Pioneer Ditch and its water rights from Wolford Mountain Reservoir contracted <br />through CRWCD for augmentation . The plan for augmentation consists ofreplacing <br />out-of-priority evaporation with consumptive use credits from dry-up under the <br />Pioneer Ditch and by reservoir releases from Wolford Mountain Reservoir under <br />contract with CRWCD. Exhibit 4 shows the augmentation schedule. Consumptive <br />use credits are used to directly offset evaporation by bypassing the ditch flows to the <br />Colorado River. In periods when evaporation exceeds consumptive use credits, such <br />as July through October, augmentation water will be released from Wolford <br />Mountain Reservoir in an amount equal to depletion plus 10% for transit losses. <br />Applicant recognizes that such transit losses may be modified in the future pursuant <br />to C.R.S.§ 37-80-10(7) and C.R.S. § 37-83-104. No augmentation is provided for <br />the period of November 1 through April 15 on the basis that there have been no <br />historic calls during that period on the Colorado River below the site. <br />D. Once this Augmentation Plan is decreed, Applicant shall abandon the plan of <br />augmentation for the West Rifle Pit previously decreed in Case No. 90CW 150. <br />
