Case No. 2002CW389 Page 17 of 28 D. Accounting. Applicants' accounting form is attached as EXHIBIT D for illustrative purposes only. The accounting form may be modified with the approval by the Division Engineer, without modification of this decree, after notice to objectors. Accounting shall be completed with daily values reported on a monthly basis within 30 days of the end of the month for which the accounting is being submitted. All depletions must be replaced daily during the irrigation season and weekly during the non - irrigation season to the extent reasonably practical and any shortages in replacement must be balanced with releases or bypass of consumptive use water on a weekly basis during the irrigation season and a monthly basis during the non - irrigation season. The Districts must submit a yearly summary of estimated depletions and replacements for the coming year with its annual accounting report, as further described in paragraph 31. Applicants shall make copies of its accounting available to objectors upon request and upon payment of reasonable reproduction costs. E. Limit on Participating Diversions. The number of Participating Diversions accepted into this plan for augmentation will be based on the amount of consumptive use credits available to the Districts as replacement sources pursuant to this plan for augmentation. Based on the sources listed in paragraph 6, above, this plan for augmentation shall be limited to replacement of 66.875 acre feet of out -of- priority depletions annually from Participating Diversions. Applicants may add additional replacement water to this plan for augmentation and increase the limit on Participating Diversions imposed herein only by a subsequent decree entered by the District Court for Water Division No. 1. The 66.875 acre feet of augmentation water is an annual firm yield and the Districts shall be entitled to add new Participating Diversions until said 66.875 acre feet per year is exhausted. For purposes of administration of this decree and determining the extent to which the Districts have uncommitted augmentation water available under this plan, the presumed depletion figures specified in paragraph 8 shall be used unless depletions calculated using metered diversions and the consumptive use criteria in paragraph 8 prove to be greater, and 66.875 acre feet per year of depletions from Participating Diversions shall be a cap on this plan. The Districts shall maintain accounting for each Participating Diversion, the amount of augmentation water committed to each Participating Diversion, the total amount of augmentation water committed to all Participating Diversions and the balance of augmentation water available. In order to maximize the beneficial use of the Districts' available augmentation water supplies set forth in this decree, the Districts shall have the right to petition the Court to substitute depletions calculated from actual metered diversions using the consumptive use criteria in paragraph 8 for one or more Participating Diversions in place of the presumptive depletions specified in
