<br />[Craig – Insert Table] <br />The portion of available pilot project augmentation station headgate delivery that is not credited as consumptive use will first be allocated to irrigation season tailwater and irrigation <br /> season lagged deep percolation return flow maintenance. The remaining available pilot project augmentation station headgate delivery will be available for exchange to Pueblo Reservoir <br /> into the Lower Arkansas Valley Water Conservancy District’s account pursuant to its subcontract with Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District, or any other storage account for <br /> which Applicants obtain all necessary approvals, for all approved uses by the City of Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs shall dedicate enough of its reusable water from any of its <br /> available sources to replace lagged return flows in any given year. The available pilot project augmentation station headgate delivery will be calculated as the farm headgate delivery <br /> minus lateral loss of 3.5% and consumptive use. Consumptive use is calculated as the available pilot project augmentation station headgate delivery multiplied by the composite consumptive <br /> use factor. Return flows are equal to the available pilot project augmentation station headgate delivery minus the consumptive use. Tailwater return flow is the return flow multiplied <br /> by 20%, and deep percolation return flow is the return flow multiplied by 80%. <br />The monthly and annual consumptive use will be limited by the following maximum values which are the averages of the three greatest months for each month and three greatest years of <br /> the study period, consistent with the Criteria and Guidelines. The values in the table will be multiplied by the ratio of the number of shares fallowed for each farm divided by the <br /> total number of shares included in the Pilot Project for each farm, (not including shares leased from the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife (CPW) since the consumptive use for <br /> CPW shares is not included in the below table). In addition, the Pilot Project will deliver no more than 1,000 acre-feet of consumptive use credits to Colorado Springs Utilities under <br /> the Pilot Project in any given year (Contract Limit), unless the water has been moved using a stepped exchange to an intermediate location and Colorado Springs accepts delivery of such <br /> water in a year following its initial exchange. Once any of the volumetric limits or annual limits(not including the Contract Limit), has been met, all water available to the Subject <br /> Shares will be delivered through the augmentation stations on the Catlin Canal with no further claim of consumptive use credits or any other use until such time as use of the Subject <br /> Shares by Applicants is again allowed in accordance with the volumetric limits. <br />Up to 1,000 acre-feet/year of consumptive use water (Contract Limit) generated during each year of fallowing operations may be exchanged to Pueblo Reservoir for delivery to Colorado <br /> Springs during each of the three years of fallowing operations. In subsequent years, any of the remaining 1,000 acre-feet/year of contract water not exchanged to Pueblo Reservoir in <br /> previous
