The portion of available pilot project augmentation station headgate delivery that is <br /> not credited as consumptive use will first be allocated to irrigation season tailwater <br /> and irrigation season lagged deep percolation return flow maintenance. The <br /> remaining available pilot project augmentation station headgate delivery will be <br /> available for exchange to Pueblo Reservoir for all approved uses by the City of <br /> Colorado Springs. The available pilot project augmentation station headgate delivery <br /> will be calculated as the farm headgate delivery minus lateral loss of 3.5% and <br /> consumptive use. Consumptive use is calculated as the available pilot project <br /> augmentation station headgate delivery multiplied by the composite consumptive use <br /> factor. Return flows are equal to the available pilot project augmentation station <br /> headgate delivery minus the consumptive use. Tailwater return flow is the return flow <br /> multiplied by 20%, and deep percolation return flow is the return flow multiplied by <br /> 80%. <br /> 6. The monthly and annual consumptive use will be limited by the following maximum <br /> values which are the averages of the three greatest months for each month and three <br /> greatest years of the study period, consistent with the Criteria and Guidelines. The <br /> values in the table will be multiplied by the ratio of the number of shares fallowed for <br /> each farm divided by the total number of shares included in the Pilot Project for each <br /> farm, (not including shares leased from the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife <br /> (CPW) since the consumptive use for CPW shares is not included in the below table). <br /> Monthly and Annual Maximum Consumptive Use Credits <br /> (All Values in Acre-Feet) <br /> Farm Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul AugSep Oct Nov Dec Annual <br /> Diamond A 0.0 0.0 108.8 261.2 401.9 495.5 485.5 456.9 323.6 270.8 143.5 0.0 2278.0 <br /> Schweizer 0.0 0.0 33.3 58.1 77.2 93.1 96.5 90.9 68.2 58.1 32.0 0.0 481.7 <br /> Mameda 0.0 0.0 29.5 43.9 41.0 47.7 48.9 46.0 36.2 32.2 16.2 0.0 300.2 <br /> Groves 0.0 0.0 34.1 61.5 62.8 75.2 77.2 72.6 57.1 49.2 25.6 0.0 1 426.9 <br /> Ma holler 0.0t 0.01 4.3 9.2 13.7 1 16.5 1 16.5 15.6 11.0 10.1 5.7 0.0 79.6 <br /> 7. Deep percolation return flows for the Diamond A, Schweizer, Mameda, Groves, and <br /> Mayhoffer Farms will be lagged using the URFs attached in Appendix G. Return flows <br /> will be maintained via release of supplies available to Colorado Springs listed in Table <br /> 9 or other fully consumable sources available to Colorado Springs for replacement of <br /> return flows. Transit losses will be assessed from the point of release to the <br /> confluence of the Arkansas River and/or Crooked Arroyo based on the augmentation <br /> station(s) in use for the Pilot Project. <br /> 8. Fallowed parcels must be at least ten acres in size unless they comprise all of an <br /> existing CDSS parcel that is already less than ten acres. Parcels that represent a <br /> portion of an existing field can only be split in the same direction of historic irrigation <br /> unless a means of physical separation is approved by the CWCB based on the written <br /> Martin and Wood Water Consultants,Inc. <br />
