Name and address of Applicant: City of Greeley, acting by and through its Water and Sewer Board ("Greeley") c/o Jennifer Petrzelka, Water Resources Operations Manager 1001 11th Avenue, Second Floor Greeley, Colorado 80631 (970) 350-9811 jennifer.petrzelka@greeleygov.com 2. General Description of the Application. By this Application, Greeley seeks to change the use of water rights associated with 23.917 shares (the "Subject Shares") in the Water Supply and Storage Company ("WSSC"), out of 600 outstanding shares. Greeley seeks to change the use of the Subject Shares from irrigation to municipal, augmentation, and other uses, including irrigation, as further described below. Greeley also seeks a plan for augmentation and water exchange project for the replacement of return flows from the native portion of the Subject Shares, and an appropriation of such return flows. Greeley also seeks a conditional direct flow water right for replacement of return flows. Greeley is not required to maintain return flows from the historical use of the transmountain component of the Subject Shares. This application for a change of the Subject Shares is subject to the terms of the "Agreement between The Water Supply and Storage Company and the City of Greeley," dated April 30, 2010, and any subsequent amendments thereto (the "WSSC/Greeley Contract"). APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHT FOR SUBJECT SHARES 3. Decreed water rights for which change is sought: A. Name of Structures: The structures used to divert and use the Subject Shares include those numerous structures operated by WSSC, and all the ditches, reservoirs, and related structures associated with WSSC, collectively referred to herein as the "WSSC System." These structures include the Larimer County Canal, which diverts water from the Cache la Poudre River in the SW %4, Section 13, Township 8 North, Range 70 West, 6th P.M. In addition to the Larimer County Canal, WSSC operates reservoirs, transmountain ditches, a transmountain tunnel, and other structures. These structures are generally described in the table attached as Exhibit A. B. Original and All Relevant Subsequent Decrees. i. The decreed water rights of WSSC are listed in the table attached as Exhibit A. See the decrees listed for more detailed descriptions of the water rights associated with WSSC. ii. Previously, other shares of WSSC have been changed by the City of Thornton, North Weld County Water District ("North Weld"), East Larimer 2 County Water District ("ELCO"), the City of Fort Collins, and Greeley in the following cases: Case No. Decree Date Applicant No. of Shares 86CW401 et al.

Legal Descriptions of Structures. The legal descriptions of the structures that are part of the WSSC System are included in Exhibit A, and further described in the underlying decrees referenced therein. The general locations of the WSSC structures are also shown on the maps attached as Exhibits B-1 and B-2. D. Decreed Sources of Water. The decreed sources of water for the water rights of the WSSC System are described in the table attached as Exhibit A. The sources of water for the WSSC System generally include the Cache la Poudre River and certain tributaries thereto, the Laramie River and certain tributaries thereto, the Michigan River, and the Colorado River. WSSC also owns shares in the Jackson Ditch Company. Additionally, WSSC holds an interest in units of the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District ("Northern") Colorado -Big Thompson Project ("CBT Units"). WSSC delivers water from such CBT Units to its shareholders pursuant to an allotment contract, as well as leased CBT Units. By this Application, Greeley does not seek any change of water rights associated with WSSC's Jackson Ditch Company shares, or for WSSC's CBT Units. Greeley does intend to use its proportionate share of CBT Units owned or leased by WSSC for irrigation within the WSSC System, for municipal purposes in Greeley's service area, which is within Northern's district boundaries, or for other purposes within Northern's district boundaries, subject to all applicable approval requirements. E. Appropriation Dates and Total Amounts Decreed to Structures. The appropriation dates and total amounts decreed to each structure are listed in the table attached as Exhibit A. F. Decreed Uses. The water rights described in Exhibit A were decreed for irrigation of lands within the WSSC System, as further provided in the decrees listed in Exhibit A. 3 G. Amount of Water that Applicant Intends to Change. Greeley intends to change the use of its water rights associated with the Subject Shares, as further described below. 4.

Claim for Change of Place of Use: Greeley seeks approval to change the place of use of the Subject Shares to include, in addition to the currently decreed place of use for irrigation purposes, the Greeley service area, as it now exists or may from time to time be expanded, and to serve users with whom Greeley has contracts to deliver water from its water system. E. Claim for Change of Purpose of Use: Greeley seeks approval to change the purpose of use of the Subject Shares to include, in addition to the original irrigation use, all municipal uses and related uses, including, but not limited to, domestic, irrigation, watering of lawns, parks and grounds, commercial, industrial, mechanical, manufacturing, fire protection, sewage treatment, power generation, street sprinkling, recreational, fish and wildlife propagation, replacement of lake and reservoir evaporation, and maintenance of adequate storage reserves. Additionally, 10 Greeley seeks approval to use the Subject Shares for maintenance of historical return flows as required by judicial or administrative order, as well as replacement, augmentation, and substitution uses. Greeley seeks the right to fully consume such water by direct use, exchange, by storage and subsequent release, reuse, successive use, further exchange or disposition. The Subject Shares may be used as a source of substitute supply for the exchange claimed in this case, along with the exchanges decreed in Case Nos. 99CW231, 99CW234, 00CW251, 05CW326, and 07CW190. Greeley claims the right to use seepage credit from irrigation or municipal use of the transmountain portion of the Subject Shares, and ground water return flow credits from the irrigation or municipal use of the Subject Shares, exclusive of any Jackson Ditch and CBT water component thereof. F. Replacement of Return Flows: When the Subject Shares are used for the changed purposes sought in this case, Greeley will replace return flows from the native portion of the Subject Shares in time, location and amount from any sources legally available to Greeley, including those described in Paragraph 6 below, as required to protect other water rights from injury. Greeley is not required to maintain return flows from the historical use of the transbasin component of the Subject Shares, as provided in City of Thornton v. Bijou Irrigation Co., 926 P.2d 1, 68 (Colo. 1996). APPLICATION FOR PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION INCLUDING WATER EXCHANGE PROJECT 5. Overview of Plan for Augmentation Including Water Exchange Project. Greeley will operate a plan for augmentation to replace return flows from the native portion of the Subject Shares. Some of the sources of water to be used for replacement of return flows from the native portion of the Subject Shares may be delivered to the stream downstream of the location where the return flows are owed. At times when the proposed Water Exchange Project is in priority and the replacement sources can be delivered at such downstream locations without injury to intervening water users, Greeley proposes to operate the Water Exchange Project to satisfy return flow obligations. At times when the Water Exchange Project is not in priority, then Greeley will replace return flows pursuant to the plan for augmentation upstream of the calling water right. A map showing the structures and exchange reaches is attached hereto as Exhibit D. 6. Sources of Supply to be Used for Replacement for Plan for Augmentation Including Water Exchange Project. A.
