Plains Management District: Attorney: Chad Wallace, Pat Kowaleski Subject: Lawsuit filed by the Hutton Educational Foundation in an effort to make the State Engineer administer <br /> designated ground water rights and surface rights together for the purpose of compact compliance under the Republican River Compact. Complaint also alleges that SB-52, 6 which revised <br /> 37-90-106 to limit how designated basin boundaries may be modified, and the Colorado Groundwater Management Act of 1965, are unconstitutional. The Ground Water Commission filed a <br /> Motion to Intervene and an Answer to the Hutton Complaint on December 16, 2015 and such Motion was granted on January 18, 2016. Status: The Commission filed a motion to dismiss <br /> the second and third claims in which Hutton asserted that the Management Act and SB-52, amending the Act, were unconstitutional. The water court agreed and dismissed the second claim <br /> and part of the third claim. The water court held that it does not have jurisdiction over designated ground water and that the Commission must first determine whether designated ground <br /> water is implicated, and therefore the issue was not ripe. Hutton sought certification of the dismissal for appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court. The trial court certified its order <br /> of dismissal for appeal and stayed the remaining claims until the appeal is resolved. Hutton has identified the issues for appeal to include the trial court’s dismissal and the underlying <br /> question of whether SB 10-52, amending the Management Act, is unconstitutional. Some of the defendants, joined by the Commission, filed a motion with the Supreme Court to limit the <br /> issues on appeal to the dismissal, and to exclude any arguments on the constitutionality of Management Act statutes. The Supreme Court granted the motion to limit the appeal to the <br /> water court’s dismissal. Briefing on the appeal is now completed. The Supreme Court oral argument is set for November 14, 2017. LOST CREEK DAIRY, LLC Case Nos. 17GW02 and 03 <br /> Designated Basin: Lost Creek Management District: Lost Creek Attorney: Philip Lopez Subject: Applications by Lost Creek Dairy for change of use of wells to add irrigation use. <br /> Objection filed by Lost Creek Ground Water Management District.
