Mr. Dick Wolfe, P.E. Mr. Steve Witte, P.E. Mr. Bill Tyner, P.E. March 1, 2015 Page 3 of 4 for use to provide replacement water for Fowler's well depletions via CWPDA's Rule 14 pursuant to the terms of Amended Rules and Regulations Governing the Diversion and Use of Tributary Ground Water in the Arkansas River Basin, Colorado and the Amended Agreement Regarding the Colorado Use Rules, PDF Evaluation, Implementation of Processes, and Related Matters, and Not to Terminate Offset Account Resolution (June 2009), which is Appendix A.4 to the Kansas v. Colorado decree, any use of depletion credits available from the dry -up of those lands shall not be permitted to provide a source of replacement water for Fowler's well depletions. This shall be appropriately reflected in Pilot Project accounting. Applicants shall provide with the March I dry -up notice to the Division Engineer, and all commenting parties, whether the fallowed parcels are included in a pending or approved Water Court case adding augmentation as a decreed use. Many, but not all, of the shares are included in the application filed in Case No. 12CW094 by the Catlin Augmentation Association, Inc. and the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife, which does request augmentation as a use, as illustrated in the Table 2 below. Table 2 Shares Included in a Pending or Approved Water Court Case Adding Augmentation as a Decreed Use Farm Name Pilot Project Shares Shares included in Case No. 12CW094 Schweizer 194 50 Diamond A West 223.3 223.3 Hirakata 151 151 Hancock 80 0 Diamond A East 278.53 278.53 Hanagan 120 120 Total 1046.83 822.83 Based on recent discussions with Mr. Hanagan the total shares allocated to the Hanagan rarm were reduced trom 171 shares to 120 shares to more accurately reflect the historical use of shares on the Pilot Project lands as wells as the approximate historical allocation of 1 share per acre for the Catlin Canal Company. The share reduction necessitates revising the LFT for the Hanagan Farm, which results in changes to consumptive use factors and volumetric limits for the Hanagan Farm. Note that per Term and Condition 31, the projection described in Term and Condition 26 is not required since the Catlin Pilot Project is to be operated per the pay as you go approach.
