Water Division 1, Water District 1 Dear Ms. Lockman: This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section 30- 28-101(10)(a), C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 memorandum to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral information and provide comments. The comments will not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this development or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. In addition, the comments provided herein cannot be used to guarantee a viable water supply plan or infrastructure, the issuance of a well permit, or physical availability of water. The plan provides for the division of 303.7 acres into 17 single-family residential lots on 87.7 acres, two out-lots of 202.6 acres, and 13.4 acres of road right-of-way. The above proposal appears to be within the provisions of Section 30-28-403, C.R.S., which requires that at least two-thirds of the total area of the subject tract to be reserved as open space (202.4 acres of the 303.7 acres would be required to be reserved as open space). According to this legislation, if this requirement is met, 17 lots could be developed on the remaining acreage. The water supply for this development will be provided by 17 domestic wells (Trinity Well Nos. 1-17) and 2 irrigation wells (Trinity Non-Potable Well 1 and 2). These wells are proposed to be operated pursuant to the plan for augmentation pending in Division 1 Water Court case no. 2004CW342. The amount claimed for Trinity Well Nos. 1- 17 is 15 gallons per minutes. According to the application, water will be used for in-house, domestic and the irrigation of lawn and garden. The amount claimed for Trinity Non- Potable Well 1 and 2 is 200 gallons per minute and water from these wells will be used for irrigation of open space within the development. The applicant will need to obtain well permits for Trinity Well Nos. 1-17 and Trinity Non-Potable Well 1 and 2 in accordance with CRS §37-90-137(2). Well permits to supply this development could not be issued by this office until the water court decrees an augmentation plan that replaces depletions caused by these wells.

Applicant is also seeking a change of water right for 2 shares of the New Cache la Poudre Irrigating Company and a plan of augmentation for the nineteen wells. Please provide a written response to the following concerns to Water Court,P.O.Box 2038,Greeley,Colorado 80632. A RESPONSE TO THIS SUMMARY MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE COURT BY JULY 31,2005 OR YOUR APPLICATION MAY BE DISMISSED. If there are questions regarding this letter, contact Lori Coulter at loci.coulter@judicial,state.co.us or telephone number(970)351-7300, Ext.4355. Regarding the underground water rights: 1.

Clarify for the Court the specific uses requested;i.e.number of homes using the well and the irrigated area for each well. 3. Provide the Court with a Deed substantiating Applicant's ownership of the subject land. 4. These wells do not meet the uses allowed by Section 37-92-602,C.R.S.under which wells are considered exempt from administration. My decree,therefore,entered should specify that the wells must be operated in accordance with a Water Court approved plan for augmentation or substitue water supply plan approved by the Office of the State Engineer and Is ml exempt from administration under the priority system. 5. If not already in place,properly maintained measuring devices,acceptable to the Division Engineer or Water Commissioner may be required for the administration of this water right. 6.

The historically irrigated lands must be dried-up and monumented to the satisfaction of the Division Engineer before any historic consumptive use credits are available for use. 9. Prove to the Court that the historic diversion and return flow patterns of these water rights will be maintained. 10. Applicant must be placed on strict proof that the proposed change of use will not result in an expansion of use so as to prevent injury to other water rights in time,location and amount. My such change must be limited to the historic season of use. 11. Provide the Court with proof that Applicant has permission to use all of the structures referenced in this application. 12. Provide the Court with the name and address of the owner or owners of all ditches or other structures Applicant contemplates using. 13. Provide the Court with the name and address of the owner or owners of all the lands involved with or impacted by the subject water right. 14.

Any decree entered should have monthly and annual diversion limits. Regarding the plan of augmentation: 17. Applicant must prove that the proposed augmentation plan will be sufficient to prevent injury to other water rights in time,location and amount. 18. Applicant needs to provide a monthly table of diversions,depletions,and replacement water(including transit losses if needed)to demonstrate that the proposed augmentation plan will be sufficient to prevent injury to other water rights in time,place and amount. 19. Applicant needs to provide the engineering assumptions used to determine the annual amount of gross water use,consumptive use,and return flows for applicant's water system. 20. Applicant should be required to provide proposed accounting forms to the Division Engineer and Water Commissioner which are acceptable to both of them to allow for the proper administration of this plan prior to receiving a decree in this case. 21.

The following language must be included in any decree:"Pursuant to CRS§37-92-305(8),the state engineer shall curtail all out-of-priority diversion,the depletions from which are not so replaced to prevent injury to vested water rights." 24. To ensure that adequate protection is provided to other vested water rights or other conditional water rights,the court should retain jurisdiction for a period of five years after the augmentation plan becomes operational. 25. Any increased or extended use of a well that occurred on or after May 17, 1965, must operate pursuant to a valid well permit issued pursuant to CRS§37-90-137(2). Any order directing the State Engineer to issue well permits must include"pursuant to CRS§37-90-137(2)". 04CW342 April 28,2005 Page 2 SECTION 37-92-302(4), C.R.S.

I filed an Application for Approval of Water Rights, Change of Water Rights and Approval for Plan of Augmentation on Trinity's behalf in Division 1 Water Court on December 29, 2004. I have enclosed a copy of this application for your review. The successful completion of this application will allow the operation of up to 17 individual wells for in house, domestic and irrigation purposes and 2 larger wells for greenbelt irrigation purposes. The case remains pending and is currently being set for trial. I am working towards a negotiated resolution of the case, and am hopeful this can be achieved in 2006, thereby obviating the need for a trial. However, if a decree has not been achieved by the time that Trinity is ready to begin construction, I will file a Substitute Water Supply Plan application under§37-92-308, C.R.S. that, if successful, will allow construction and operation of the wells pending resolution of the case. In any event, Trinity owns senior water rights sufficient to support the proposed augmentation plan, and it is therefore my opinion that the eventual approval of the plan in some form is very likely, assuming Trinity continues to prosecute the case with diligence. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Previous Decrees: Priority No. Date of Appropriation Decreed Amount Case No. 37 October 25, 1870 110 cfs 320 44 September 15, 1871 170 cfs 320 72 November 10, 1874 184 cfs 320 83 September 15, 1877 120 cfs 320 May 27, 1974 65 cfs W-8059 3 3. The headgate of the New Cache la Poudre Irrigating Company Canal is on the north bank of the Cache la Poudre River in the NE1/4 of the SE1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 11, Range 6N, Township 68W of the 6th P.M., Larimer County, Colorado. The 2 shares are adjudicated for irrigation. 4. Historic Use-Location: The 2 shares of the New Cache la Poudre Irrigating Company have been used to irrigate 116 acres in Section 7, Township 6 North, Range 63 West of the 6th P.M. The lands formerly served by the 2 shares of New Cache shall no longer be irrigated by the 2 shares. Irrigation on those lands may still occur to the extent it is done by the Trinity Wells Nos. 1-17 and/or the Trinity Non-Potable Wells Nos. 1 and 2 as described above. 5. Historic Use-Average Historical Consumptive Use and Return Flows: The average historic farm headgate delivery of 2 shares of New Cache was determined to be approximately 22.80 acre feet per year based on 15% ditch loss. The average historic consumptive use of the 2 shares was determined to be approximately 13.5 acre feet per year. Return flows for the 2 shares accrue to Crow Creek. The average historic return flows for the 2 shares are approximately 9.2 acre feet per year and are divided between surface and subsurface return flows. 6. Proposed Change: Applicant seeks to change the use of 2 shares r` of the New Cache la Poudre Irrigating Company to include storage, augmentation, replacement, and recharge. Applicant intends to fully consume the consumable portion of the water, either by first use, successive use or disposition. 7. Claim for return flows: By filing this application, Applicant appropriates all return flows associated with the 2 shares with an appropriation date of December 29, 2004. IV. Augmentation Plan. A. Name of Structures to be Augmented: Trinity Well Nos. 1-17 and Trinity Non-Potable Well No. 1 and No. 2 as previously described in this Application. B. Plan for Augmentation: 1. Since the use of these 19 wells as described above are not exempt as part of the development they will serve, applicant proposes a plan of augmentation to prevent injury to senior appropriators from any out-of-priority diversions by the wells. 4 2. Well Depletions. The use of the wells cause the depletion of 13.5 acre feet of water per year based on the on site project demand for the water for in-house, domestic and lawn and garden and open space irrigation uses. 3. Recharge Accretions and Augmentation Release. Applicant will use the 2 shares of New Cache to make direct augmentation releases back to Crow Creek and for storage in and recharge from the Trinity Recharge Basins Nos. 1, 2 and 3. The recharge accretions and augmentation release credits attributed to the 2 shares of New Cache, in acre-feet, will total approximately 22.8 acre feet. In addition, Applicant will use the junior recharge right for the Trinity Recharge Basins Nos. 1, 2 and 3 to obtain additional credits to be used as an augmentation supply under the plan applied for herein. 4. The Net River Impact. The net impact results in no material injury to senior water rights. C. Name and Address of Owners of Structures: Applicant owns Trinity Well Nos. 1-17, the Trinity Non-Potable Well No. 1 and No. 2, Trinity Recharge Basin No.1, No. 2 and No. 3 and the 2 shares of New Cache.
