CHEROKEE METROPOLITAN DISTRICT V. GROUND WATER COMMISSION AND COLORADO SPRINGS EAST AIRPORT Case No. 09CV4325 Designated Basin: Upper Black Squirrel Management District: Upper Black Squirrel Before: El Paso County District Court, Judge Larry E. Schwartz Attorney: Pat Kowaleski Subject: In 2007 the Airport published an application seeking to change Well Permit 6055-FP (the Williams Well No. 2), and Cherokee filed a statement of opposition. After a one day hearing, the Commission’s Hearing Officer granted a change, and assigned 65.9 a.f. of historic consumptive use to the well. Cherokee appealed the decision to the Commission, which affirmed the findings by Order of June 1, 2009. Cherokee subsequently appealed the Commission’s decision to the District Court on June 30, 2009, claiming that the findings with regard to historical consumptive use were not arrived at properly. A two and a half day trial was set to commence on February 1, 2011. Cherokee has subsequently obtained new counsel, and attempts have been made to settle the case. Status: The trial date has been vacated, and there are no proceedings currently pending before the Court. CHEROKEE METROPOLITAN DISTRICT Case No. 08-GW-71 Designated Basin: Upper Black Squirrel Creek Management District: Upper Black Squirrel Creek Before: Jody Grantham, Hearing Officer Attorney: Jen Mele Subject: An application for approval of a replacement plan to make new appropriations from the alluvial aquifer within the basin. Objections were submitted by the District, along with 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 began 2 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 use of some of its wells, subject to further negotiations and amendment of the proposed replacement plan. Status: This case was consolidated with change cases 08GW78 and 09GW15, and the trial was set to continue in January 2010. 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 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. The District also filed for a preliminary injunction to prevent Cherokee from claiming waste water returns in the Basin as augmentation credit in the replacement plan in 08GW71 until the motion for declaratory judgment is resolved. The preliminary injunction was granted, and Cherokee filed a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction which was denied. The District Court has not yet ruled on whether Cherokee may use the waste water as a replacement supply. Meridian moved to intervene but that motion was denied. Meridian has appealed the denial to the Supreme Court. CHEROKEE METROPOLITAN DISTRICT Case No. 08-GW-78 09-GW-15 Designated Basin: Upper Black Squirrel Creek Management District: Upper Black Squirrel Creek Before: Jody Grantham, Hearing Officer Attorney: Jen Mele Subject: Applications to change the type and place of use of wells.

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 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 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 rights owner must show that pumping of the designated ground water has more than a de minimis effect on the surface rights and is causing injury to those rights.

Wilcox, 2nd Floor, Castle Rock, CO 80104 A G E N D A Enforcement7.docx Enforcement Items and Actions NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS Plains GWMD At the request of Deb Daniels (Plains district manager) staff field inspected wells owned by Cynthia Halde to determine whether or not the illegal commingling identified had been severed. It appears Mrs. Halde is now operating the wells in compliance with the well permits, and the enforcement action has been closed. Arikaree GWMD Working with the Arikaree GWMD and Mr. Robert Boyd, staff has resolved Mr. Boyd’s rotation of acres issue. One of the terms of this resolution required Mr. Boyd to meter his well and hire a 3rd party administrator to read the meter and submit pumping records to our office throughout the year for review. At this time Mr. Boyd is believed to be operating in compliance with his well permit and the terms of his rotation of acres approval. We will be closely monitoring the well’s pumping this year. UPPER BLACK SQUIRREL CREEK Upper Black Squirrel Creek GWMD As requested, Color Star Growers is now submitting monthly pumping records to the GWMD. This spring/summer our office, along with personnel from the ground water management district, will be performing a field inspection of the Color Star Growers operation to ensure the wells are being used for their permitted purposes. KIOWA BIJOU While reviewing permit files for final permitting, staff found reason to believe Nancy Herter and Richard Huffsmith were operating large capacity commercial wells for unpermitted irrigation purposes. A field inspection was performed, and it appears all irrigation from the wells has ceased. We will be keeping an eye on these wells in the future. North Kiowa Bijou Following the submittal of well abandonment reports and a signed affidavit from Freund Investments indicating illegal wells had been plugged and abandoned as ordered, our office continued to receive complaints from the public concerning the illegal use of the same wells. Staff performed a field inspection and verified that one of the wells continues to pump in violation of Ground Water Commission orders. We are currently in the process of issuing< a Cease and Desist Order. Staff has scheduled a field inspection for May 13th to visit with Dale Arnold and inspect a pond on his property that we believe to have exposed groundwater. We will also be looking at his two irrigation wells to ensure they have been equipped with totalizing flow meters. If these issues have not been properly addressed at the time of the inspection, we will be following up with Cease and Desist orders. It was verified through a field inspection that Gene Linnebur had failed to equip two small capacity commercial wells with measurement devices. We are currently working with Mr. Linnebur to correct the violation.
