CASE NO. 2019CW3074, KANNAH CREEK, GUNNISON RIVER, MESA COUNTY, APPLICATION FOR UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHT AND APPROVAL OF A PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION Kilgore Companies, LLC dba Elam Construction, Inc. (“Elam”)Russell A. Larsen, 556 Struthers, Grand Junction, CO 81501,970-242-5370, [email protected], c/o Kirsten M. Kurath, Williams, Turner & Holmes, P.C., 744 Horizon Court, Suite 115, Grand Junction, CO 81506, (970) 242-6262, E-mail: [email protected] and Whiting Land Legacy, LLC (“Property Owner”), c/o Donna Whiting, 335 Bean Ranch Road, Whitewater, CO 81527, (970) 241-3911, Background: Highway 50 Borrow Area No. 2 is located approximately 4.5 miles southeast of Whitewater, Colorado in Section 32, Township 2 South, Range 2 East of the Ute Principal Meridian. See Figure 1 attached to the Application. A site map showing the Highway 50 Borrow Area No. 2 is provided in Figure 2 attached to the Application. The area is bounded to the south by Kannah Creek, to the north and east by U.S. Highway 50, and to the west by private lands. Borrow material was extracted from the area in accordance with a mining and reclamation permit (Permit No. M-1999-076) issued by the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology (currently referred to as the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety) and held by Elam. The borrow material was used to support an adjacent highway construction project. Elam completed reclamation of the borrow area following termination of material extraction operations. An approximately 12-foot deep depression (“Pit Lake”) remains within the borrow area. Groundwater is exposed within the lower portion of the depression; therefore, the depression is considered a pit well. Elam and Property Owner seek an underground water right for the Highway 50 Borrow Area No. 2 pit well and augmentation plan to replacement out-of-priority depletions associated with evaporation from the Pit Lake. The Pit Lake is located on property owned by Property Owner. Property Owner has consented to the filing of the Application and the relief requested herein. See the Water Rights and Augmentation Plan Agreement attached as Exhibit A to the Application. Upon the closing of Permit No. M-1999-076, Elam shall transfer the water right, augmentation plan, well permit and augmentation water supply contract to the Property Owner and Property Owner shall be solely responsible for maintaining the same. FIRST CLAIM FOR RELIEF: Underground Water Right. Structure and Well Permit: Highway 50 Borrow Area No. 2 (the “Pit Lake”). Applicants will obtain a well permit for the Pit upon approval of the plan for augmentation. Legal Description: The approximate center of the Pit Lake is located in the SW/4 SW/4 of Section 32, Township 2 South, Range 2 East, Ute P.M., at a point 1,112 feet from the south section line and 875 feet from the west section line. UTM coordinates for the projected center of the Pit Lake are Easting: 205217.3; Northing: 4315128.3 (NAD83, UTM Zone 13). The location of the Pit Lake is shown in Figures 1 and 2. Source and Depth: Groundwater tributary to Kannah Creek, tributary to the Gunnison River. The maximum depth of the Pit Lake is approximately 12 feet below the original ground surface. Date of App.: The appropriation was initiated on July 31, 2013, when Elam’s predecessor, in response to an inquiry from the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (“DRMS”), notified the DRMS of its intent to appropriate water as described herein. Date Water Applied to Beneficial Use: July 31, 2013. Amount and Uses Claimed: 30.34 acre feet per year, absolute, for evaporative loss from the 7.9 acres of exposed groundwater surface area left after mining was completed. See Table 1 attached to the Application. Applicants request a finding that the water which collects in the Pit Lake is not in storage, as defined in §37-92-103(10.5), C.R.S., and that, in the administration of the water rights granted pursuant to this Application, statutes and other law relating to the storage of water, including without limitation §37-92-502(3), C.R.S., shall not be applicable. SECOND CLAIM FOR RELIEF: Plan for Augmentation. Names of structure to be augmented: The Pit Lake, described above. Description of water right to be used for augmentation: Applicants will obtain a Blue Mesa Reservoir contract with the United States Bureau of Reclamation (“BOR”) to cover the out-of-priority depletions for evaporative losses from the Pit Lake and to cover transit losses in the amount to be decreed in this Plan for Augmentation. Blue Mesa Reservoir (Wayne N. Aspinall Unit of the Colorado River Storage Project): 939,204 acre feet was decreed in C.A. Nos. 5590 and 6981, Gunnison County District Court, with a November 13, 1957 appropriation date.

The herd has exhibited strong reproduction and has pioneered into suitable habitat in the DAU. At this time, it is anticipated that there are approximately 125 moose in the DAU. The herd already provides significant watchable wildlife opportunities throughout the Grand Mesa and Crystal River Valley areas and it is anticipated that it will provide hunting opportunities in the near future. Significant Issues: Several significant issues were identified during the DAU planning process in M-5. The majority of people who provided input indicated strong interest in both hunting and watchable wildlife opportunities. There was less, but still significant, concern about both competition with livestock for forage and the possibility of habitat degradation, primarily in willow and riparian zones. The majority of stakeholders favored increasing the population significantly while staying below carrying capacity. There was strong support for providing a balance of opportunity and trophy antlered hunting in this DAU, and most respondents indicated a desire for quality animals.
