Colorado Springs/Super Ditch Pilot Project ' State Engineer's Determination <br />December 6'2O1V <br />Page 6of15 <br />9� Upto1'000 acre-feet per year of consumptive use water generated during each ofthe three <br />years of fallowing operations may be exchanged to Pueblo Reservoir for delivery to CS-U based <br />on alimit inthe contract between [S-U and Super Ditch ("Contract Limit"). Any Vfthe 1,OOU <br />acre-feet per year of consumptive use water not exchanged to Pueblo Reservoir during a <br />Fallowing Year because mfinsufficient exchange potential to Pueblo Reservoir, that is instead <br />delivered to storage in a reservoir other than Pueblo Reservoir ("Remaining Consumptive Use <br />Water"), may be exchanged to Pueblo Reservoir for delivery to Colorado Springs in a <br />subsequent year. Remaining Consumptive Use Water shall count against the Contract Limit in <br />the Fallowing Year and not against the Contract Limit for the year in which Remaining <br />Consumptive Use Water is exchanged to Pueblo Reservoir for delivery to CS-U. In addition, no <br />more than ],0}0 acre-feet of consumptive use water generated in three years of fallowing <br />operations will he exchanged to Pueblo Reservoir for delivery to CS-U during the term ufthe <br />Pilot Project. All consumptive use water not delivered to CS-U bvthe conclusion of the Pilot <br />Project will be returned to the Arkansas River with no claim of consumptive use credits or any <br />other use. <br />lD. Deep percolation return flows: Deep percolation return flows will be tagged using the URFs <br />attached in Appendix G of the application or, for parcels included in the change of water right <br />in Case No. 12CYY94, the URFs decreed in case no. 12CVY94 will be used. Return flows will be <br />maintained via augmentation station deliveries attributable to the shares, releases of return <br />flow water attributable to the shares that has been stoned, or release of supplies available to <br />CS-U. Return flows for the Diamond A, Schweizer, Mameda and Groves Farms are owed above <br />the Fort Lyon Canal headgate and shalt be delivered via the Timpas [reek Augmentation <br />Station. Return flows for the MayhmfTer Farm are owed below the Fort Lyon Canal and shall be <br />delivered via the Crooked Arroyo Augmentation Station. Transit losses will be assessed from the <br />point of release to the confluence ofthe Arkansas River and Crooked Arroyo urTimpos Creek, <br />as applicable. (see also condition 18) <br />|L Schweizer Farm high groundwater: Due to the potential for a canal induced high water table <br />adjacent to the Schweizer Farm, and noting the potential for a steep gradient mfthe water <br />table relative to the grade of the surface topography during the irrigation season, for any year <br />that the following parcels are faKoaed: 21721558 (NW Parcel, Division Parcel |D2357D5O7}, <br />the west half Vf21723766 (pivot Parcel, Division 2 Parcel I0 23570516), 21723382 Et 21711491 <br />(South Parcels Division 2 Parcel |D's 23570520 and 23570510) a reduction in historical <br />consumptive use due to the potential consumption of groundwater on those parcels will be <br />applied for the shares used on those parceLs. This reduction is discussed in condition no. B13. <br />The parcels and monitoring well locations are shown on Attachment B. <br />12. Fai|ovved parcels: Fa[iovved parcels must be at least ten acres in size unless they comprise all <br />of an existing CD55 parcel that is already less than ten acres. Parcels that represent apordon <br />of an existing field can only be split in the same direction ofhistoric irrigation unless ameans <br />of physical separation is approved by the [YYCB based on the written determination ofthe <br />
