Gentlemen:
Enclosed herewith is a resolution adopted by the Board of
Directors of this District on May 10, 1974,
In light of the variety of plans periodically being proposed
by the Department of Health, municipalities, water and sanitation
districts, other local governments, or development corporations,
the Board felt that its contractual obligation in regard to return
flows should be brought to your attention.
Sincerely yours,

RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, certain planning and water agencies are considering the
disposal of sewage effluent by methods which may infringe upon existing
water rights by changing the time, amount, and point of return flows; and
WHEREAS, Article 19 of the Contract, Ilr-1051 , between the United
States and Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District providing for
the construction of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project, dated July 5,
1938, (the repayment contract) provides 1n part as follows:
"There is also claimed and reserved by the United
States for the use of the District for domestic, irrigation,
and industrial uses, all of the increment, seepage, and
return flow water which may result from the construction
of the project and importation thereby. . . of a new and
added supply of water. . . ; and the right is reserved on
behalf of the District to capture, recapture, use, and
reuse the said added supply so often and as it may appear
at the stream intake headgates of ditches and reservoirs
serving lands within the District.
"Said captured, recaptured, and return flow water shall
be, by the Board of Directors of the District, allotted only
to the irrigable lands within the District already being par-
tially supplied with water for irrigation, using for a basis
for such allocation the decreed priorities existing at the
date of this contract. . . .
"It is understood and agreed that the United States
does not abandon or relinquish any of the increment or
seepage or return flow water coming from the irrigation
of lands or other uses supplied with water from or through
the works constructed by the United States, but that the
same is reserved and intended to be retained for the use
and benefit of the District."
and
WHEREAS, each ailottee and user of project water has agreed by
contract to abide by the provisions of said repayment contract; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the District is charged with
the management and distribution of said return flows reserved by the
United States;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of
Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District:
1. That the Board opposes and will oppose all efforts by
any planning or water agency which will alter or change the
return flow patterns of project water supplies other than as
provided in its repayment contract with the United States;
and
2. That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the
County Commissioners of each county having lands within the
boundaries of Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District
and to all appropriate planning and water agencies exercising
any authority whatsoever within the District boundaries which
may affect the use and reuse of project water and the return
flows therefrom.
CERTIFICATE
I , J. R. Barkley, do hereby certify that the above is a true and correct
copy of a Resolution unanimously adopted by the Board of Directors of the
Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District at a regular meeting of said
Board held in Loveland, Colorado, on May 10, 1974.
