This will involve all uses, including but not limited to domestic, municipal, agricultural, and recreational uses. The reservoir will also be used to meet the water requirements of the inhabitants of the River District for all uses, including uses in the Middle Park area. 95CS281: All beneficial uses by and for the benefit of the inhabitants of the River District, including but not limited to domestic, municipal, industrial, irrigation, agricultural, piscatorial and recreational; such uses will include environmental mitigation, including environmental mitigation requirements associated with the Wolford Mountain Reservoir Project; such uses will be made directly or by substitution, augmentation, or exchange. Remarks: The Refill Right described herein will be exercised to provide supply for the Western Slope uses of water from Wolford Mountain Reservoir described above, including flood control, other operational purposes, and environmental mitigation and enhancement for the benefit of uses with the District. 18, Statement of Plan for Augmentation: a. Demands: This plan for augmentation replaces out-of-priority storage made by the Dawson Gulch Spring Pond. Out-of-priority storage will be required to replace water withdrawn for irrigation and industrial use, as well as water lost to surface evaporation. These storage demands are currently estimated to be 4.29 acre-feet per year as summarized below. (i) Water stored in the pond will be used to irrigate approximately 0.42 acres of bluegrass. The location of said irrigation is shown in Figure No. 2 attached hereto and consists of approximately 0.08 acres at the northern lawn and 0.34 acres at the southern lawn. A StateCU analysis using weather station data from the Williams Fork Dam climate station determined an annual consumptive use demand of 0.59 acre-feet for 0.42 acres of bluegrass as shown in Table No. 1 attached hereto. Water is pumped to the southern lawn using one of the pumps installed at the pond. All such pumped withdrawals will be metered. Water is delivered to the northern lawn via gravity through a pipeline. Pipeline deliveries to the northern lawn are not directly measured, but will be estimated by multiplying the volume of water pumped to the southern lawn by a ratio of (0.08 / 0.34). Water withdrawn from the pond for 6
