<br />Stored water derived from the Colorado Springs/Super Ditch Pilot Project and/or fully consumable sources available to Colorado Springs will be used to meet the lagged historical return <br /> flow obligations associated with the fallowing of the historically irrigated lands. Transit losses as assessed by Division 2 will be included from the point of release to the confluence <br /> of the Arkansas River and Crooked Arroyo or TImpas Creek, as applicable. Lagged historical return flow releases will generally be made from Lake Meredith but may also be made from Pueblo <br /> Reservoir, or by utilizing Colorado Springs’ fully reusable return flows available at the mouth of Fountain Creek. <br />Any return flows not met by proper delivery of that portion of the available headgate diversions shall be made up from some other source decreed for this use or approved for this use <br /> by a substitute water supply plan. Absent prior approval by the Division Engineer of some other source, it will be assumed those losses will be made up from the consumptive yield of <br /> shares included in the Pilot Project and Colorado Springs’ replacement sources. <br />All diversions shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the Division Engineer. Super Ditch shall install and maintain measuring devices as required by the Division Engineer for operation <br /> of the Pilot Project. <br />Accounting of water in this Colorado Springs/Super Ditch Pilot Project must be provided to the Division Engineer on forms and at times acceptable to him. Said accounting must be received <br /> by the 10th of the month following the month being reported. The name, mailing address and phone number of the contact person who is responsible for operation and accounting of this <br /> plan must be provided on the accounting forms. <br />The accounting will use the tables listed in Appendices B through G of this document as the tool for comparing historical use analyses with projected operations as a pilot project. <br />The name, e-mail and postal addresses, and phone number of the contact person who will be responsible for the operation and accounting of the Pilot Project must be provided with the <br /> accounting forms to the Division Engineer and Water Commissioner. <br />Pueblo Reservoir, Twin Lakes Reservoir and Fountain Valley Pipeline (or Conduit) are owned and operated as part of the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project by the United States Department of the <br /> Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. Applicants shall store water in Pueblo Reservoir only so long as they have a contract with the owners of that structure, and such storage and use is <br /> within the effective time period of such contract. Any use of Fryingpan-Arkansas Project facilities by Applicants, for storage, exchange or otherwise, will occur only with the written <br /> permission of the owner of said reservoir, and will be made consistent with such policies, procedures, contracts, charges, and terms
