The water rights acquired with that property include various decreed priorities <br />for diversion from Egeria Creek and various springs tnbutary to Egeria Creek or Smith Creek with <br />appropriation dates ranging li»m August 1889 to December 1991, The water rights tiro described <br />on the bargain end sale deed attached to this letter. The older water rights are adjudicated for <br />irrigation use, while some of the more junior water rights are adjudicated for irrigation, <br />sloekwatering, domestic, fire protecrion and fish culture, including several small storage waterrights. <br />It is my understanding that a small gravel extraction operation has been operating at <br />the site for a number of years, with water being diverted for dust suppression and, perhaps, some <br />slrtall amount of gravel washing. The water used for those purposes has been diverted from Smith <br />Creek just upstream of its confluence with Egeria Crack with the .knowledge. of the local water <br />comatissioner. Since the water rights acquired with the property ere not specifically decreed for <br />industrial or gravel extraction purposes, we must assume that the diversions of such water for those <br />uses took place at times when there was unappropriated water available in the Egeria Crcek basin. <br />Under Colorado ]aw, a waterusermay appropriate and useweterfiom natural streams so long as that <br />water is not needed to satisfy prior appropriators from the stream system. When a prior appropriator <br />needs rho water, he/she places a "call" with the State water officials who may curtail diversions from <br />the system under water rights junior to the calling right or Wose without a decreed priority, es <br />det:med necessary by the State water officials to satisfy the calling right(s).
