ATTORNEY GENERAL’S REPORT
Cases involving the Colorado Ground Water Commission
August 21, 2015
The listing below summarizes matters in which the Office of the Attorney General represents the Colorado Ground Water Commission as of August 7, 2015.
cherokee metropolitan district
Case No. 08-GW-71
13SA330</w:t></w:r></w
Designated Basin: Upper Black Squirrel Creek
Management District: Upper Black Squirrel Creek
Before: Jody Grantham, Hearing Officer and District Court
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 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. This case was consolidated with change cases 08GW78 and 09GW15, and the trial
was set to continue in January 2010
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
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
June 17, 2013 the Court found that neither Cherokee nor Meridian is prohibited from claiming wastewater return credits for its replacement plan. 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 Stipulation between the parties. The Supreme Court has issued a decision upholding
the decision of the District Court that under the 1999 Stipulation, Cherokee can use effluent as a source of replacement water in a replacement plan.

Case No. 09-GW-11
Designated Basin: Upper Black Squirrel
Management District: Upper Black Squirrel
Before: Jody Grantham, Hearing Officer
Attorney: Jen Mele
Subject: Application for a change of water right. Two parties filed objections.
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</
resolution of the issues in Case No. 98CW80 as described above for Cherokee Metro District’s replacement plan.
Gallegos, Reinaldo, et al
Case No. 03-GW-06
03CV1335</w:t></w:r></w
15SA118</w:t></w:r></w
Designated Basin: Upper Crow Creek
Management District:
Before: District Court
Attorney: Pat Kowaleski
Subject: Petition to de-designate portions of the Upper Crow Creek Designated Ground Water Basin.
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, 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
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
with the Commission on August 11, 2010.
Status: A trial was held starting on February 24, 2014 and lasting 7.5 days. The district court issued its decision on March 9, 2015, denying the Gallegos Family’s petition to de-designation
of the basin. On April 27, 2015 the Gallegos Family filed an appeal of that order to the Supreme Court. A briefing schedule has not yet been issued by the Supreme Court.

Case No. 12-GW-10
14SA302</w:t></w:r></w:
Designated Basin: Upper Black Squirrel
Management District: Upper Black Squirrel
Before: Jody Grantham, Hearing Officer
Attorney: Pat Kowaleski & Susan Schneider
Subject: An application for junior surface and storage rights was filed in water court (10CW95), however objectors argue that the claimed water is actually designated ground water since
if not for the diversion, it would recharge the basin. Since only the Commission has the authority to decide when water is designated basin water, the matter is now before the Commission
to make this determination.
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
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
from the surface water claim. The Commission upheld the Initial Decision. Meridian appealed the Commission’s 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 water claimed by Meridian is designated ground water over which the
Commission has jurisdiction. Meridian has appealed the matter to the Supreme Court and the matter has been briefed and is scheduled for oral argument on September 30, 2015.
