Objections were submitted by the District, along with <br /> four other water users in the basin. A hearing was held for two weeks in Denver beginning on June 8, 2009 during which the applicants completed their initial presentation and the objectors <br /> began their presentations. An additional week of hearing scheduled for August 3 through 7, 2009 was vacated following a ruling from the Division 2 Water Court regarding Cherokee’s <br /> use of some of its wells, subject to further negotiations and amendment of the proposed replacement plan. This case was consolidated with change cases 08GW78 and 09GW15, and the trial <br /> was set to continue in January 2010 <br />Status: In November of 2009, the Upper Black Squirrel Creek Ground Water Management District filed in District Court, in Case No. 98CW80 for a declaratory judgment asking the court <br /> to determine whether Cherokee is required to use its waste water as recharge for the basin or if that waste water can be claimed as replacement credit under a replacement plan. On <br /> June 17, 2013 the Court found that neither Cherokee nor Meridian is prohibited from claiming wastewater return credits for its replacement plan. Those orders were held to be final <br /> appealable orders on October 31, 2103. UBS filed a notice of appeal on December 18, 2013 on the issue of whether Cherokee can use basin recharge as replacement water under the 1999 <br /> Stipulation between the parties. Meridian filed a notice of cross-appeal on December 27, 2013 on the procedural issue of whether the water court can hold up the replacement plan pending <br /> in front of the Commission pending resolution of the issues before the court. The matter is set for oral argument in the Supreme Court December 10, 2014 <br />cherokee metropolitan district <br />Case No. 08-GW-78 09-GW-15</w:t></w:r></w <br />Designated Basin: Upper Black Squirrel Creek <br />Management District: Upper Black Squirrel Creek <br />Before: Jody Grantham, Hearing Officer <br />Attorney: Jen Mele <br />Subject: Applications to change the type and place of use of wells.

An objection was filed by Cherokee Metropolitan District. The applicant moved to consolidate <br /> this case with 08GW71, the replacement plan application by Cherokee and Meridian Service Metropolitan District, and09GW03, another application for determination of water right (discussed <br /> below). This motion was denied by the hearing officer. <br />Status: The hearing officer will set the matter for a hearing. <br />daniel and theresa farmer et al. <br />Case No. 09-GW-03 <br />Designated Basin: Upper Black Squirrel Creek <br />Management District: Upper Black Squirrel Creek <br />Before: Jody Grantham, Hearing Officer <br />Attorney: <br />Subject: This case involves the determination of water right in the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer. An objection was filed by Cherokee Metropolitan District.

This motion was denied by the hearing officer. <br />Status: The hearing officer will set the matter for a hearing. <br />meridian service metro district <br />Case No. 09-GW-11 <br />Designated Basin: Upper Black Squirrel <br />Management District: Upper Black Squirrel <br />Before: Jody Grantham, Hearing Officer <br />Attorney: Jen Mele <br />Subject: Application for a change of water right. Two parties filed objections. <br />Status: The hearing set for February 25 and 26, 2010 has been stayed because the water rights to be changed were for use in the replacement plan in 08GW71. The matter is stayed pending</ <br /> resolution of the issues in case no. 98CW80 as described above for Cherokee Metro District’s replacement plan. <br />Gallegos, Reinaldo, et al <br />Case No. 03-GW-06 <br />Designated Basin: Upper Crow Creek <br />Management District: <br />Before: District Court <br />Attorney: Pat Kowaleski <br />Subject: Petition to de-designate portions of the Upper Crow Creek Designated Ground Water Basin. <br />Background: The petitioners originally sent letters to the State Engineer in 2002 and 2003 seeking curtailment of wells within the Basin. The State Engineer declined to curtail wells <br /> and the petitioners appealed the issue of the Commission’s jurisdiction over surface water rights first to District Court and eventually to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court held <br /> that the Commission has jurisdiction over surface water rights only to the extent the holder of surface rights seeks to change a boundary of a designated basin, in which case the surface <br /> rights owner must show, using information that was not before the Commission at the time of designation, that pumping of the designated ground water has more than a de minimis effect <br /> on the surface rights and is causing injury to those rights. The matter was remanded to the Commission, and this petition to de-designation a portion of the designated basin was filed <br /> with the Commission on August 11, 2010. <br />Status: A trial was held starting on February 24, 2014 and lasting 7.5 days. As of July 7, 2014 closing arguments have been filed and the parties await a judgment from the court. <br /> < <br />WILLIAM GREATHOUSE <br />Case No. 11-GW-06 <br />Designated Basin: Southern High Plains <br />Management District: <br />Before: Jody Grantham, Hearing Officer <br />Attorney: Jen Mele <br />Subject: Application for final permit.

Since only the Commission has the authority to decide when water is designated basin water, the matter is now before the Commission <br /> to make this determination. <br />Status: The hearing was held January 22 - 24, 2013 before the Hearing Officer. <The Hearing Officer issued the Initial Decision of the Hearing Officer on April 25, holding that the <br /> applicant must determine what portion of the water claimed in the water court application historically contributed to the water supply of the designated basin and subtract that out <br /> from the surface water claim. An appeal of the Initial Decision was submitted to the Commission and the Commission upheld the Initial Decision. Meridian appealed the Commission’s <br /> decision to the district court and trial was held July 29 – 31, 2014. <The District Court held in favor of the Management District and the Commission, finding that a portion of the <br /> water claimed by Meridian is designated ground water over which the Commission has jurisdiction. Meridian has appealed the matter to the Supreme Court. <br />FRONT RANGE RESOURCESCase No. 13-GW-5 <br />Designated Basin: Lost CreekManagement District: Lost CreekAttorney: Jen Mele <br />Subject: Front Range Resources filed for a change in place of use.

Objections were filed by Don and Morgan Foster. <br />Status: The Morgans’ objection is based on alleged injury a small capacity livestock well more than one mile from the subject well. Because under the Rules spacing requirements are <br /> one half mile, and because the Rules direct Staff to look at injury to large capacity wells not small capacity wells when considering permit applications for large capacity wells, Staff <br /> filed a motion for summary judgment asking the hearing officer to dismiss the matter and remand to Staff for issuance of the permit. The hearing officer granted the motion and the <br /> matter was remanded to Staff for issuance of a permit. <br />MERIDIAN SERVICE METRO.
