RE: Can Serve-Water Service for A&W Water
Dear Ms. Hinze:
This letter is in response to a request for water service to serve the following property described as follows:
Part NE 1/4 Section 31,Township 4 North,Range 66 West,Weld County,Colorado
Water service can be made available to the above described property provided all requirements of Central
Weld County Water District, Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District and the U. S. Bureau of
Reclamation are satisfied. Central Weld County Water District will require that Tap Assignments be
consummated prior to the setting of a tap or this letter shall become null and void unless extended in writing
by the District. Subdivisions requiring 10 or more taps will be required to purchase and transfer raw water
•
prior to District approval. Please note that you are responsible for confirmine that this property has met
the requirements of Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District and the Bureau of Reclamation.
To do this, you may contact Marilyn Conley with Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District at
970.532.7700. Central Weld cannot issue a tap until all requirements are satisfied. A review of the District's
system in this water service area will need to be done prior to water taps being sold.
Due to the rapid cost increase of raw water, existing tap fees may not apply for water service to this property.
The District will not notify, by separate letter, any prospective landowners or land purchasers of tap fee or
line extension cost increases. The cost of a tap fee and/or line extension will have to be paid in advance to the
District by the prospective customer in accordance with District policy within one(1) year from the date of
this letter
Pursuant to the Lind, Lawrence & Ottenhoff LLP letter dated October 2, 2008,this letter provides for water
service availability for 5/8"residential tap for a maximum of 300,000 gallons annually to service a proposed
office facility on the property.
It is your responsibility to confirm with your local Fire Protection Authority if fire flow water capacity is
required for your project.
Sincerely,
CENTRAL WELD COUNTY WATER DISTRICT

property you own, and is constructed or pumping equipment is installed with equipment owned and
operated by you. It is your responsibility to complete and submit the Well Construction and Test Report
(Form No. GWS-31) and/or the Pump Installation and Test Report (Form No. GWS-32). These forms are
available from our website at the following link: http://www.water.state.co.us/pubs/wellfom%s.asp, or from
any Division of Water Resources office. The well must be constructed and the pumping equipment
installed in accordance with the well construction standards of the Board,
The WATER WELL CONSTRUCTION RULES and BOARD OF EXAMINERS RULES can be obtained
from our website at the following link: http://www.waterstate.co.us/pubs/rule reg.asp, or purchased from
any Division of Water Resources office for a small fee. These Rules cover the minimum requirements for
well construction, pump installation, disinfection, plugging and sealing and contractor licensing regulations.
If you are constructing your own well or installing pumping equipment, it is recommended that you obtain a
copy of these Rules for reference.
The well construction and pump installation reports including testing of well yields and pumping systems
must be submitted to the office of the State Engineer by the respective contractors within sixty(60)days of
completion of the work or prior to the expiration date of the permit,whichever is earlier. Your contractor(s)
must provide you with a copy of the work report(s)filed with the State Engineer.
RULE 12 WELL TESTING
12.1 General - The provisions of this rule establish minimum standards for the testing of water wells.
Every well constructed for the purpose of producing ground water shall be tested to determine:
•
a. a stabilized yield for the well;and
b. the production rate of the equipment installed when the well is placed into service.
12.2 Well Yield Test-The yield of a well shall be determined as a stabilized production rate where the
withdrawal rate and the drawdown do not change by more than 10%during the last hour of the test. The
test shall demonstrate that either: -
• a. the well is capable of producing the permitted pumping rate for the well;or
b. that the maximum yield of the well Is less than the permitted production rate.
12.3 Responsibility for Well Yield Test-Well construction contractors are responsible for performing
the well yield test and submitting the test data to the State Engineer. If the construction contractor also
installs the production equipment, the well yield test may be combined with the production equipment test,
provided that the test meets the requirements of Rule 12.2. The construction contractor may forgo the well
yield test if he can show that a licensed pump installer will perform the well yield test with the permanent
production equipment within thirty (30) days of completion of construction of the well. If the pump
installation contractor performs the well yield test, he/she shall submit the test information on the Pump
Installation and Test Report.
12.4 Production Equipment Test - The production equipment installed in wells shall be tested to
ensure it is functioning as designed. The test shall demonstrate the production capacity of the equipment
as actually installed in the well. It is the responsibility of the person installing the pumping system to ensure
that the production from the well compiles with the conditions of the permit.
12.5 Responsibility for Production Equipment Test- Pump installation contractors are responsible
for testing the production equipment installed in a well upon completion of their work. If the well
construction contractor determined the well yield and submitted a report, the pump installer need not
perform another well yield test. If the pump installer does not perform a well yield test with the permanent
production equipment, he shall perform a production equipment test and report the data (results) to the
State Engineer on the Pump Installation and Test Report.
Wells to be plugged and sealed must be plugged in accordance with of the Water Well Construction
Rules. A Well Abandonment Report, Form No. GWS-9 must be submitted to confirm plugging and sealing
of the well. This form is available from our website at the following link:
http://www.waterstate.co.us/pubs/welfforms.asp, or from any Division of Water Resources office. The
specific rules for plugging and sealing wells are found on the reverse side of the Well Abandonment Report

(2006), any person who intends to construct his/her own well or to install
pumping equipment in a well as a "private driller" or "private pump
installer" shall be required to comply with minimum construction standards
adopted by the Board of Examiners of Water Well Construction and Pump
• Installation Contractors. (See Construction Rules, 2 CCR 402-2.)
•
Purpose of the "Owners Notice of constructed Well"
It is necessary that your well permit remains valid to allow you and
future owners of the property to withdraw ground water from the well for
use and to have the well worked on by licensed contractors. First and
foremost in maintaining your well permit valid and in good standing is the
submittal of the Well Construction and Test Report and the Pump
Installation and Test Report (work reports) that licensed contractors (or
you, if you constructed the well as a"private driller" or installed the pump as
a "private pump installer") are required to submit to the Division of Water
Resources. Without the submittal of a work report to show that the well was
constructed in conformance with the Water Well Construction Rules and
that it is in compliance with the conditions of approval of the well permit,
the permit will expire on the expiration date indicated on the permit.
Reinstatement of your permit after it has expired or obtaining a new
permit for your well may require that you show that the well was constructed
• by a licensed water well construction contractor (or private driller) and that
it meets the required standards of the Water Well Construction Rules. It is
much easier and efficient to maintain the valid status of your original well
permit than it is to try to have it reinstated after it has expired or to obtain a
new permit for the existing structure.
Because it is not always easy to confirm that the required reports have
been submitted to DWR, this "Owner's Notice of Constructed Well" is
provided for your use. Do not give the notice to your contractor to submit.
The notice is to be completed by you and mailed or faxed to the Division of
Water Resources so that the Division is advised that your well has been
constructed. If the required work reports are not then filed within a
reasonable period of time, the Board of Examiners can initiate its procedures
for obtaining the reports and thereby assist you in keeping your well permit
valid.

• Dear Ms. Custer:
We have reviewed your letter dated December 26, 2007 in which you request approval
of a Substitute Water Supply Plan ("SWSP")for A&W Water Service, Inc. ("A&W"or
"Applicant"), pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-308(4). A&W has filed an application for a plan for
augmentation in the Division 1 Water Court in case no. 2005CW040. The SWSP references
the application and A&W has provided notice of the requested SWSP to all council of record
for case no. 2005CW40. That notice was mailed on December 26, 2007. The State
Engineer's Office ("SET)received responses from the City of Boulder and Centennial Water
and Sanitation District and those responses have been considered in the approval of this
SWSP. The $300-dollar fee has been received (receipt no. 3624401).
The A&W SWSP was originally approved on April 1, 2005 and this plan seeks to
extend the plan past three years from that original date of approval. Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-
92-308(4)(b), "if an applicant requests a renewal of a plan that would extend the plan past
three years from the initial date of approval, the applicant shall demonstrate to the state
engineer that the delay in obtaining a water court decree is justifiable and that not being able
to continue operating under a substitute water supply plan, until a decree is entered,will cause
undue hardship to the applicant° According to the applicant, case no. 2005CW40 has been
set for trial in December 2009. In addition,A&W states that they rely on well pumping for their
business and if they are not allowed to continue operating under SWSPs until a decree is
obtained they will experience undo hardship in the form of a loss of their livelihood. Based on
this information it was determined that A&W has satisfied C.R.S. 37-92-308(4)(b).

The court application also included the Fort Lupton Canning Well No. 1, described
below. According to the SWSP request the well is used for drinking and sanitary purposes
only and the Applicant has obtained an exempt well permit for that use under G.R.S. 37-92-
602(5). Since the well is permitted as exempt there is no requirement to augment depletions
from future pumping of the well, as long as the well is operated in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the well permit. Depletions from past operation of the well were fully
replaced under the 2007 SWSP.
Permit No. Name WDID Original Decree
273809 Fort Lupton Canning Well No. 1 0206246 W-1598
In addition to providing replacement water,this SWSP also seeks changes in water
• rights for Farr wells 13416-R and 13417-R(previous decree W-3972)to add commercial and
industrial use to their decreed irrigation use. Permit nos. 13416-R and 13417-R were issued
for irrigation use on October 2, 1959 and the wells were decreed for irrigation use in case no.
W-3972. The Applicant obtained well permit nos. 66220-F and 66221-F, respectively, to
operate the wells for industrial and commercial use pursuant to C.R.S. §37-90-137(2).
The third well to be augmented is the A&W Water Well permit no. 61793-F, decreed
in Case Nos.W-1893, 81CW192, and 03CW416 for commercial and industrial uses.
The Applicant has applied to change 25 shares of the Farmers Independent Ditch
("FIDCO")water rights to include augmentation, replacement, exchange, and recharge.
These uses are in addition to the decreed irrigation use, with the right to totally consume the
consumable portion of the water, either by first use, successive use, or disposition. For
augmentation purposes the water may be delivered to the Farr recharge pond located on the
Farr Farm (a.k.a.A&W Recharge Project) or delivered directly to the South Platte River via the
FIDCO upper augmentation station. For this plan period the applicant will deliver the 25
FIDCO shares to the Farr recharge pond.
The Applicant filed a second amended application with the water court, under case no.
2005CW40, on March 31, 2006 to change 20 shares of Lupton Meadows Ditch Company
water rights to include augmentation, replacement, exchange, and recharge into the recharge
structure described as the Wright Recharge Project. For augmentation purposes the water
may be delivered to Wright recharge basin or delivered directly to the South Platte River via
an augmentation station on the Lupton Bottom Ditch. For this plan period the applicant will
deliver the 20 Lupton Meadows Ditch Company shares to the Wright Recharge Pond.

In summary, for the purposes of this SWSP, according to the accounting that Ms.
Kullman provided, the water rights to be used for augmentation include:
1. 25 shares of Farmers Independent Ditch (Recharge, Farr Recharge Pond (a.k.a. A&W
Recharge Project))
2. 20 shares of Lupton Meadows (Recharge, Wright Recharge Project)
3. City of Longmont and City of Aurora fully consumable effluent
4. Recharge credits from junior recharge into the A&W and Wright recharge project
5. Recharge credits from the Central/FIDCO recharge project described in case no.
85CW370
The Applicant is also seeking an exchange at such times water is delivered to the
South Platte River pursuant to this SWSP in excess of the replacement requirements of this
SWSP. The water will be substituted and exchanged for water diverted at the headgates of
the Lupton Bottom, Farmers Independent, and Platteville Ditches. The exchange will operate
at such times when no water rights located between the point of delivery to the South Platte
River and the point of diversion will be materially injured by the exchange. The amount
claimed is 10 cfs with a February 28, 2005 date of initiation of appropriation. The claimed
uses are augmentation, replacement, aquifer recharge, and exchange.
Depletions
Well 61793-F is permitted and decreed for 252 acre-feet of annual withdrawal. This
• well is a member of the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District Well Augmentation
Subdistrict("Central WAS"). For projection purposes the Applicant assumed that no
replacement water would be provided by Central WAS during this plan period for
augmentation of depletions from past or proposed pumping of the well. According to the
accounting,the projected pumping for this plan period will be 150 acre-feet from well 61793-F,
300 acre-feet from well 13416-R and 300 acre-feet from well 13417-ft
Historical pumping for Well 61793-F from 1969 through 1996 is based on information
from Don Wright of A&W. Pumping from 1997 through January 2003 is based on power meter
records. Pumping from February 2003 through March 2008 is based on direct readings from
the flow meter.
This SWSP only replaces depletions from the"Farr Wells" (13416-R and 13417-R)that
result from pumping during the period of March 2005 through March 2008. According to the
applicant all lagged depletions that will accrue to the river during this plan period that result
from pumping of the wells prior to 2004 are covered 100 percent by the Central Colorado
Water Conservancy District Ground Water Management Subdistrict augmentation plan
granted in case no. 2002CW335. Therefore,the applicant is not replacing those lagged
depletions under this plan.
All pumping from the wells is considered to be 100 percent consumptive. Lagged
depletions from the wells were determined based on the Glover Method and the aquifer
parameters shown below:

Replacements
Replacement supplies for the proposed SWSP include the recharge of 25 shares of
Farmers Independent Ditch Company("FIDCO")water rights into the Farr Recharge pond,
recharge of 20 shares of Lupton Meadows ("LMDC") into the Wright Recharge Pond, leased
fully consumable water from the City of Longmont and the City of Aurora, recharge credits
from junior recharge into the Farr and Wright Recharge ponds, and recharge credits
generated by Central's FIDCO recharge project described in case no. 85CW370.
The City of Aurora has entered into a three year lease agreement with the Applicant for
160 acre-feet of fully consumable wastewater return flows per year. Such water shall be
released at either the outfall of the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District treatment facility
("Metro")or the confluence of Sand Creek and the South Platte River. The Applicant has
accounted for a transit loss of 12% in the SWSP(0.05% per mile loss for the 24 miles
between Metro and the point of depletion).
• The City of Longmont has entered into a long term lease with the Applicant which will
provide 180 acre-feet of fully consumable water, at a rate of 15 AF per month, during this plan
period. Such water shall be released at the outfall of Longmont's municipal wastewater
treatment plan, presently located in the SE1/4, NW1/4, Section 11, T2N, R69W,6°' P.M., or
the confluence of Spring Gulch and Saint Vrain Creek, located in the SE1/4, Section 7,T2N,
R68W, 6i' P.M.. The Applicant has accounted for a transit loss of 10.5% in the SWSP(0.05%
per mile loss for the 21 miles between the wastewater treatment plant and the point of
depletion).
The consumptive use of the water rights was determined by a historical use analysis,
using diversion data and a water budget. The historical consumptive use of the shares is as
follows:
Water Right Historical CU
25 shares of Farmers Independent Ditch 227.1 acre-feet
20 shares of Lupton Meadows 21.6 acre-feet
The Maximum Monthly headgate diversion limit for the 20 shares of LMDC and 25
shares of FIDCO are shown on the attached tables 9 and 19. In addition,A&W proposes to
not exceed a Maximum Annual headgate diversion of 42.7 acre-feet for the LMDC shares and
512.7 acre-feet for the 25 FIDCO shares.
From the historical use analysis, the lagged historical return flow pattern was
determined, which must be replicated due to the change in use. The return flows will be
calculated based on the return flow factors calculated in the historic use analysis and shown

approval of the water commissioner.
12.As records become available(including, but not limited to recharge amounts, ditch
diversions, reservoir releases, augmentation well pumping, weather data, etc.),the
Applicant shall update the data used to compute monthly well pumping and projected
monthly stream depletions for this SWSP. If at any time the projected stream
depletions show the Applicant is unable to replace all out-of-priority stream depletions,
the Applicant shall notify the division engineer of the projected shortfall and describe
how well pumping will be reduced and/or replacements will be increased to ensure all
out-of-priority depletions will be replaced.
13. Should an additional SWSP be requested for 2009,the request shall include a 3 year
projection of well operations to demonstrate that the Applicant has sufficient
replacement supplies to replace all out-of-priority depletions during the projection
• period. Additionally, the data files used (for input into AWAS, SDFView, etc.)to make

14. If any well in this SWSP causes depletions that affect a senior surface water right at a
location where this SWSP cannot provide replacement water, the well is subject to
curtailment until arrangements are made to provide replacement water at a point which
will preclude injury to the calling senior surface water right. Well owners are
responsible for providing replacement water in time, location, and amount to offset all
out-of-priority depletions.
15.The Applicant shall perform an Inspection and provide verification for all parcels of
dried up land used to generate augmentation credits during the term of this SWSP.
The final verification of dry up will be in the form of an affidavit signed by an individual
having personal knowledge of the dry up for the entire irrigation season for each parcel
of land used in this SWSP. The Applicant shall provide all affidavit(s)to the division
engineer by November 15, 2008 in order that the final determination of augmentation
credits for the irrigation season can be made along with mapping showing any
revisions to the dry up acreage. The Applicant shall modify accounting to reflect that
the credit from any dried-up fields containing alfalfa or native grass was assessed in
the following manner
(a) For fields deep tilled or chemically treated to successfully kill alfalfa or native
grass, 100%credit will be given for consumptive use as otherwise computed
under the conditions of this approval.
(b) For fields not deep tilled or chemically treated to successfully kill alfalfa or
native grass, records of monthly monitoring of depth to ground water at existing
irrigation wells or existing or new monitoring wells or piezometers within ''/.-mile
• of each alfalfa or native grass field must be maintained. Credits will be reduced
according to the following table when depth to ground water is less than the
depth assumed to provide no significant contribution to native grass or alfalfa
growth. Measurements taken at the start of each month will determine the
necessary reduction in credit to be applied during the following month. The
applicant may use another methodology upon review and approval by the State
Engineer and Division Engineer.

. RECHARGE PROTOCOL
Division of Water Resources
Division One—South Platte River
1. The purpose of a'recharge structure"as referenced in this document is to
introduce water to the river alluvium that will result in accretions to a live stream.
For the purposes of this document, a recharge structure does not include a well
that is used to artificially recharge a Denver Basin bedrock aquifer. With that
qualification,a recharge structure is defined as:
a. A section of ditch,the losses from which can be reasonably modeled as a
single source of water.
• b. A pond or group of ponds that receive water from the same delivery
location and can be reasonably modeled as a single source of water.
2. A written notification for each recharge structure must be provided to the water
commissioner and division engineer. The Division of Water Resources will
not acknowledge any recharge activity conducted without the knowledge of
the water commissioner. The notification must include:
a. a map showing the location of the structure and the court case number of
the plan for augmentation authorized to use the structure;
b. a map showing the location of the diversion point and the court case
number for the decree authorizing the diversion;
c. a map showing the location of and all information for the metering
location;
• d. the maximum water surface area of the structure;
e. for ditch structures, if the ditch is divided Into more than one recharge
reach, an explanation of how the volume diverted will be allocated to the
various sections.
3. Upon receiving written notification or decree by the Water Court,the Division of
Water Resources will assign the structure a WDID number. The WDID number
is the identification number that will be used for the administration of the structure
and must be included in all correspondence and accounting reports. (For
structures that were included In a decreed plan for augmentation but were
not physically constructed at the time of the decree,a written notification
of the Intent to construct the structure must be provided.)
4. Any structure that intercepts groundwater must be permitted as a well and
included in a plan for augmentation or substitute water supply plan approved by
the State Engineer. The Division of Water Resources strongly recommends
avoiding recharge structures that intercept groundwater, in order to simplify the
accounting process.
5. The flow into EVERY recharge structure MUST be metered and equipped with a
continuous flow recorder unless the water commissioner in conjunction with the
division engineer determines adequate records may be kept without such
equipment. If the recharge structure is designed to discharge water via a surface
outlet, such discharge must also be metered and equipped with a continuous
flow recorder. The water commissioner MUST approve the use of the recharge
structure BEFORE the Division of Water Resources will acknowledge any
recharge credit to the structure.
•
Recharge Protocol
Revised March 1,2007
•
• 6. All recharge ponds must have a staff gauge installed such that the gauge
registers the lowest water level in the pond. The staff gauge must be readable
from a readily accessible location adjacent to the pond.
7. All recharge areas must be maintained in such a way as to minimize
consumptive use of the water by vegetation. No recharge area may be used
for the planting of crops during the same irrigation year that it is used as a
recharge site without prior approval from the Water Commissioner or
Division Engineer.
8. The amount of water recharged to the alluvial aquifer is to be determined by
measuring the amount of water delivered to the recharge structure and
subtracting:
a. the amount of water discharged from the recharge structure,
b. the amount of water lost to evaporation(see item 9, below),
c. the amount of water lost to consumptive use due to vegetation located
within the recharge structure, and
d. the amount of water retained in the recharge structure that has not yet
percolated into the ground.
9. Net evaporative losses from the recharge structure must be subtracted from the
volume of water delivered to the pond. Evaporative losses must be taken every
day the pond has a visible water level. If the pond does not have a stage-surface
area curve approved by the water commissioner, the maximum surface area of
the pond must be used to determine the evaporative losses. Monthly loss factors
prorated for the number of days the pond had a visible water level may be used
• as may real time evaporation data from NOAA or a local weather station. If the
pond is not inspected on a routine basis through the month, no prorating of
monthly factors will be allowed.
10.The amount of accretions from the recharge structure will be credited only in
accordance with a decreed plan of augmentation or substitute water supply plan
approved by the State Engineer.
11.All water delivered for recharge must be fully consumable:
a. changed reservoir rights or the CU portion of changed senior ditch rights;
b. transbasin water that has been imported into the South Platte River basin;
c. nontributary water;
d. water diverted In priority.after"notice"of intent to fully consume the water;
e. water diverted under free river.
12.Water may be delivered to recharge only if the net impact of the associated plan
for augmentation is not negative. Water must first be delivered or exchanged to
offset negative impacts of the plan for augmentation before it may be diverted for
recharge.
13.Accounting must be performed on a daffy basis with reports submitted at least
monthly and within 30 days of the end of the month for which the accounting is
being made. The volume of water diverted Into recharge must be provided to the
Water Commissioner weekly when requested to do so by the Water
Commissioner.

ADMINSTRATION GUIDELINE
Augmentation Plan Exchanges
Division One— Greeley
Many of the plans for augmentation operating along the South Platte River include
recharge operations where fully consumable water is placed in recharge sites and then
timed back to the river. Some plans include decreed exchanges whereby excess return
flows may be exchanged back up to a headgate or well and re-diverted. This document
provides a guideline for administering such exchanges. It may also be used as a
general guideline for the administration of all exchanges on the South Platte River,
however,is specifically designed to address exchanges associated with plans for
augmentation. This guideline is subordinate to any decreed language addressing
specific exchange operations.
River condition below the exchanoe: No Call or Free River
No exchange may operate unless:
Fl.The water commissioner has been given at least 48 hours advance notice of the
intent to operate the exchange.
F2.The water commissioner determines there is sufficient exchange potential to
operate the exchange.
F3.The water commissioner has current accounting and is able to verify that there
ere excess return flows reporting to the river.
•
River condition below the exchange:Storage Call
In addition to the requirements in Fl thru F3, above, no exchange may operate unless:
St.The water commissioner determines that the exchange can be operated without
injuring water rights that are senior to the exchange.
S2.The storage-season-to-date' (November 1 to the day the return flows report to
the river) net impact of the augmentation plan operation on the river is not
negative; or, in the opinion of the water commissioner,there is a reasonable
expectation the impact will be non-negative by the start of the irrigation season
(typically,April 1).
S3.The timing of the exchange is limited to the day the excess return flow reports to
the river unless the water commissioner agrees that return flows can be
consolidated such that a larger diversion over a shorter period of time is made
without injuring the calling or other senior water rights. If an aggregated
diversion is allowed,the volume of the aggregated diversion cannot exceed the
volume of excess return flow reporting to the river during the month the exchange
takes place; i.e. excess return flow credits may not be carried over from one
month to the next.
• Administration Guideline-Augmentation Plan Exchanges
Revised January 31,2007
• •
.
River condition below the exchange: Direct Flow Call
In addition to the requirements in Fl thru F3, above, no exchange may operate unless:
D1.The water commissioner determines that the exchange can be operated without
injuring water rights that are senior to the exchange.
D2,The irrigation-season-to-date' (April 1 to the day the return flows report to the
river) net impact of the augmentation plan operation on the river is not negative.
D3.The timing of the exchange is limited to the day the excess return flow reports to
the river. Excess return flows occurring over multiple days may not be
aggregated into a single exchange and diversion.
The expectation regarding the time period during which the net Impact analysis is made is that storage
season deficits are reconciled before the start of the Irrigation season. Plans that do not reconcile storage
season deficits may not be allowed to make additional out-of-priority diversions or exchanges until such time
as the deficits are made up.

AUGMENTATION PLAN ACCOUNTING PROTOCOL
Division of Water Resources
Division One — Greeley
This document addresses the accounting information and format that should be followed
for water court approved augmentation plans. Decreed augmentation plan requirements
take precedence in the event of a conflict between the requirements in the decree and
this protocol.
1. The accounting must be done using software such as Excel or Access,
preferably Excel. During the initial review of the accounting and/or when
requested, the applicant will be required to submit the actual Excel file used to
perform the accounting so that data relationships and formulas can be confirmed.
2. Accounting for wells that are decreed as alternate points of diversion to a surface
water right must be done on a daily basis in order to substantiate when the well is
in or out of priority. For the purposes of augmentation plan accounting only, the
daily in priority alternate point well diversions may simply be shown as zero. The
remaining out of priority daily diversions should then be used to determine the
delayed depletions associated with the well operation.
3. Accounting for wells that are not alternate points of diversion to a surface water
right may be done on either a daily or monthly basis. If the monthly basis is used,
the volume of water diverted for the entire month should be prorated to the
• number of days in the month and shown as equal daily diversions.
4. Accounting reports must be submitted electronically to the division engineer at
DivlAccountina@state.co.us within 30 days of the end of the month for which the
accounting is being submitted.
5. Please use the following naming convention for all files submitted pursuant to
item 4: "PlanName Month Year Version". As an example,the initial submission
for the XYZ augmentation plan for July 2004 would be named"XYZ July 2004
v1.xls". If this accounting is then amended, the amended file submitted would be
named "XYZ July 2004 v2.xls", etc. Please put the name of the file in the
subject line of the email.
6. All diversion information for both wells and recharge structures must be reported
using the WDID for the structure, at a minimum. Other information such as well
name, permit number, etc. can also be included based on the reporter's
preference as a cross check to the WDID All wells must be either decreed by
the Water Court or permitted by the Division of Water Resources.
Unregistered wells for which there is no decree cannot, in the opinion of the
Division Engineer, be effectively administered because of the need to know the
location, allowable diversion rate and use of the well; information that is only
available from the decree or permitting process.
7. The accounting should have a single "Contact Information" sheet that shows
the contact information for each well. This sheet should also contain the contact
information of the person responsible for submittina the accounting.
8. The accounting should have a single table showing "Past Pumping Depletions"

by well.
Augmentation Plan Accounting Protocol-Revised February 2, 2007
•
• •
• 9. All well diversions should be input into a single "Pumping Information"
worksheet. The sheet should show the volume diverted from each well and the
amount of that diversion made as an APOD on a daily basis. The resulting non-
APOD diversion volume in the "Pumping Information"worksheet should be the
source of pumping information for all other worksheets that use that data such as
the depletion modeling input table, any summary of operations sheet, etc. The
"Pumping Information"worksheet is the ONLY place new well diversion
data Is input Into the accounting.
10.All "Recharge Information" input data should be entered on a single worksheet
and broken down to show the resulting credit to each well.
11.A single"Reservoir Releases" sheet should show the releases made and the
credit attributable to each well. Data such as transit losses, reservoir share yield,
etc.should be shown for the current month. The accounting must be able to
adjust factors such as share yield and transit loss on a month-by-month basis
and must not simply rely on the initial beginning of season yield estimate, etc.
12. If there are other categories of replacement water used in the plan such as
"Fully Consumable Effluent", "Changed Irrigation Right Credits" "Ditch
Bypass Credits", "Augmentation Wells", etc., each of these categories should
have a single data input sheet that breaks the information down to show the
credit due each well as a result of the subject replacement water. (In the specific
case of the augmentation wells, the input volume would simply reference the
"Pumping Information" sheet,which is to be the sole source of well diversion
• data.)
13.A"Summary Information" sheet should show the depletions, associated credits
and net impact on the river of each well for the subject month. Wells with
depletions that impact the same location of the river may be grouped with
accounting submitted for the entire group. For instance, accounting may be
submitted on a farm by farm basis,etc.,with the provision discussed above
regarding alternate points of diversion wells.
14.The accounting should contain any other sheet necessary to show how the input
data are used to determine the depletions and recharge credits for each well,
such as AWAS/SDF program input table and output table, etc.
