of lagged deep percolation return flow obligations may be aggregated as approved by the Division Engineer so long as there is no injury to the Winter Water Storage Program, Colorado <br /> water rights, Conservation Storage in John Martin Reservoir or the Kansas-Colorado Arkansas River Compact. When the Catlin Canal is diverting water return flows will be generally be <br /> replaced with deliveries to the augmentation station, though other approved sources as described herein may be used for such replacement. When the Catlin Canal is not diverting water <br /> return flows will be replaced with sources available to Colorado Springs as described herein. <br />The amount of consumptive use credits and return flow obligations and the disposition of consumptive use credit and return flow replacement water shall be calculated on a daily basis. <br /> Such consumptive use credits may be exchanged to Pueblo Reservoir for use by Colorado Springs or to replace Catlin Pilot Project return flows as necessary, or step exchanged to storage <br /> for such uses. Water allocated to replace deep percolation return flows and delivered through Catlin Canal augmentation stations that is in excess of the replacement requirement on <br /> a given day will be allocated as a stream depletion credit. Such depletion credits may be exchanged to Pueblo Reservoir for use by Colorado Springs or to replace Catlin Pilot Project <br /> return flows as necessary, or step exchanged to storage for such uses. <br />Calculations of return flows owed to the river must be updated as needed (at least monthly), based on actual past water availability and estimated future availability. If there is an <br /> under delivery of return flow water in any month this under delivery shall be made up in the subsequent month. <br />Exchange into Pueblo Reservoir may occur only when there is at least 100 cfs of outflow (inclusive of hatchery flows) from Pueblo Reservoir. Such diversions/exchanges may not cause the <br /> outflow from Pueblo Reservoir to be less than 100 cfs. In addition, exchanges will be operated as junior to the City of Pueblo’s recreational in-channel diversion water right awarded <br /> in Case No. 01CW160, and as though the right is in effect 24 hours per day. <br />Any exchange of water as a part of this Pilot Project must be approved in advance by the Division Engineer after a determination that there is sufficient exchange potential to accomplish <br /> the requested exchange without injury to other water rights. Applicants must request to make an exchange through the Arkansas River Dashboard, so long as the Dashboard is functioning <br /> properly. <br />Exchanges completed via the decree for Case No, 10CW04 will comply with all terms and conditions decreed therein. <br />Applicants may operate an exchange only if there is a live stream between the downstream exchange-from point and the upstream exchange-to point.
