// 3 December 13, 2018 maintain return flows in time, location and amount to prevent injury to other water rights. This concern will lead to significant accounting and control issues that the applicant should address along with detailed engineering analysis typically required for a change-in-water- rights application. With these issues in mind the following concerns are listed below: 1. The applicant should indicate that they understand that under the proposed pilot program that any water that is to be exchanged under the 2005CW96 decree must conform to the requirements of paragraph 29.P of that decree, including notice, approval by the Division Engineer and opportunity for other parties to object.

The applicant should indicate how any potential sub-irrigation of the fallowed parcel from an adjacent irrigated parcel will be accounted for. 3. The applicant should indicate how any potential sub-irrigation that reduces the transferable amount of consumptive will be calculated and accounted for. 4. The applicant should address how the rotational/intermittent fallowing will affect historic return flows from the fallowed parcels and potential interference with continuation of return flows from adjacent non-fallowed parcels. 5. The applicant should indicate that they understand that the winter water storage program, that was stipulated to in Case No. 84CW179, is not to be used to exchange water from Big Johnson Reservoir to Pueblo Reservoir, as we don’t believe it allows such an exchange. 6. Use of the exchanges decreed in Colorado Spring Utilities decrees 84CW202, 84CW203, or 89CW036 with an appropriation date of June 13, 1989, from the
