BYRNE 1912 19]0 Re: Mann Lake, Adams County Gravel Operation; Farmers' High Line Canal and Reservoir Co. Dear Mr. Nichol: I am in receipt of a copy of the letter under date of May 13, 1977, written by Mr. J. C. Kuiper, State Engineer, regarding the proposed gravel operation by Adams County, Colorado. From the tenor of the letter, Adams County has not filed a plan of augmentation to augment water that will be lost by evaporation from the operation of the proposed gravel - recreational area to be developed by Adams County. On behalf of Farmers` High Line Canal and Reservoir Co., this letter is to also confirm the concern of Farmers' High Line Canal and Reservoir Co, expressed by Mr. Kuiper. Water lost to the river which would preci- pitate an earlier call by Evans No. 2 Ditch has an adverse effect on sub- sequent dated water rights owned by Farmers' High Line Canal and Reservoir Co., which water rights are necessary for the irrigation of farm grounds in Adams County. When Evans No. 2 Ditch calls out Farmers' High Line and Reservoir Co., the remaining water rights available to the Farmer's High Line Canal and Reservoir Co. are not sufficient to properly irrigate and manage its irrigation ditch. The Farmers' High Line Canal and Reservoir Co. urges the county defer any action on the gravel recreation project until it has filed an augmentation plan acceptable to the State Engineer's office. Very truly yours, Lysle R. Dirrim as attorney for Farmers' High Line Canal and Reservoir Company LRD:ge cc: C. J.
