Fritz Holleman, Porzak Browning & Bushong LLP, 929 Pearl Street, Suite 300, Boulder, CO 80302, (303) 443-6800.2. Introduction Applicant was decreed new storage rights, changes of existing rights, and a plan for augmentation in Case No. 00CW303, District Court, Water Division No. 5. The purpose of the application in Case No. 00CW303 was to accommodate new and changed water uses on the TYL Ranch (the “Ranch”). The Ranch consists of approximately 450 acres of deeded ground in Sections 24, 25 and 26, T. 4 S., R. 78 W. of the 6th P.M., Summit County, Colorado. This application is submitted to add an additional, alternative source of augmentation water to the augmentation plan adjudicated in Case No. 00CW303. The sources of augmentation water identified and decreed in Case No. 00CW303 are sufficient, and will continue to be relied on by Applicant, but the addition of the alternative source of augmentation water described below will allow greater flexibility and more efficient water management on the Ranch. Applicant proposes that this amended augmentation plan be subject to the same terms and conditions set forth in the decree in Case No. 00CW303. The augmented structures identified in Case No. 00CW303 are described in paragraph 3 below. The augmentation sources identified in Case No. 00CW303 are described in paragraph 4 below. The additional, alternative source of augmentation water claimed in this application is described in paragraph 5. 3. Augmented Structures: A. South Pond. This right was decreed in Case No. 00CW303 for 4 acre-feet absolute, for recreational, piscatorial, wildlife, stock watering, storage, and augmentation purposes. The appropriation date is July 1, 1999. The source for this pond is Bushee Creek, via the Winegard Ditches to Winegard Pond Nos. 1, 2 and 3, and then through a culvert to the South Pond. The center of the pond is located in the SW 1/4 NE 1/4 of Section 26, T. 4 S., R. 78 W., at a point approximately 2670 feet from the North line and 1650 feet from the East line of said Section 26. This pond has a surface area of .65 acres. B. Pump Pond. This right was decreed in Case No. 00CW303 for 1 acre foot absolute, for irrigation, storage, and augmentation purposes. The appropriation date is July 1, 2000. The source for this pond is Bushee Creek, via the Sondregger No. 2 Ditch. The center of the pond is located in the SE 1/4 NE 1/4 of Section 26, T. 4 S., R. 78 W., at a point approximately 1980 feet from the North line and 390 feet from the East line of said Section 26. This pond has a surface area of .12 acres. C. House Ponds 1, 2 and 3. These rights were decreed in Case No. 00CW303 for 2.00 acre-feet absolute, for recreational, piscatorial, wildlife, aesthetic, stock watering, irrigation, storage, and augmentation purposes. The appropriation date is July 1, 1999. The source for this series of ponds is the North Fork and/or the South Fork of Bushee Creek, via water diverted at the alternate points of diversion for the Sondregger No. 5 Ditch. The ponds are located in the NW 1/4 SE 1/4 of Section 24, T. 4 S., R. 78 W. These small ponds have a combined surface area of 0.25 acres. D. Changed Ditch Rights. The decree in 00CW303 also added points of diversion, new places of use and new purposes of use to the following ditch rights located on the Ranch: a. Sondregger Ditch, b. Sondregger Ditch No. 2, c. Sondregger Ditch No. 4, d. Sondregger Ditch No. 5, e. Winegard Ditch No. 1, f. Winegard Ditch No. 2. 4. Augmentation Sources Decreed in Case No. 00CW303: The decree in Case No. 00CW303 dedicated 9.58 acre feet of historic consumptive use credit associated with the Sondregger No. 2 Ditch, and 1.20 acre feet of historic consumptive use credit associated with the Sondregger No. 5 Ditch, to cover out of priority depletions from the augmented structures. 5. Additional Augmentation Water: Applicant has now acquired 2.36 acre feet of historic consumptive use credit associated with the Valaer Ditch, Water District No. 36, Priority No. 351, decreed for a total of 25 cfs with an appropriation date of February 2, 1941, and an adjudication date of March 10, 1952, as changed by the District Court in and for Water Division No. 5 in Case No. 79CW145. The source for this water right is the , upstream from the Ranch. 6. Description of the plan for augmentation: The plan for augmentation decreed in Case No. 00CW303 recognized that Applicant had a net annual surplus of augmentation credit from the Sondregger No. 2 Ditch and the Sondregger No. 5 Ditch water rights mentioned above, but required Applicant to make storage releases from the South Pond, and/or Winegard Pond 3 and/or Winegard Pond 4 in any month when the available augmentation credits are insufficient to replace the monthly out of priority diversions from the augmented structures. By the amendment to the augmentation plan in this application, the Valaer Ditch water described in paragraph 5 above will be used as it is available as an alternative augmentation source to cover any monthly shortfall. In this manner, Applicant will attempt to minimize any storage releases from the mentioned ponds that might otherwise be required. 7. Terms and conditions: This amended augmentation plan will be subject to the terms and conditions decreed in Case No. 00CW303. The accounting form developed to implement the augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 00CW303 will continue to be used, with the addition of changes to indicate when the Valaer Ditch augmentation water is used in lieu of storage releases from the mentioned ponds on the Ranch. WHEREFORE, Applicant requests that this Court enter a decree that: A. Approves the amended plan for augmentation described in paragraph 6 above; B. Finds that as a result of the subject plan for augmentation, there will be no injury to any owner of or persons entitled to use water under a vested or decreed conditional water right.

Adjudication Date: June 20, 1958. Appropriation Date: April 22, 1957. Case No.: C.A. 4613. Court: Garfield County District Court. Decreed Amount: 830 cubic cfs, conditional. Decreed Uses: Generation of electrical energy, domestic and municipal, industrial, irrigation and stockwatering. Statement of Plan for Augmentation: Applicant seeks approval of plan for augmentation to replace out of priority in- house domestic use, irrigation, and livestock watering associated with the diversions made through the Nisbet Well No. 1. The total annual depletion is estimated to be 2.08 AF, with a 5.0% transit loss, for a total of 2.18 AF per year. Operation of plan: Water will be diverted through the Nisbet Well No. 1 directly for uses described above. To the extent that diversions and associated depletions to the stream are out-of-priority, they will be augmented to prevent injury as described below. Water Demands and Depletions: Irrigation. Irrigation of up to one (1) acre of pasture will consumptively use two (2) AF per year, based upon the Blaney-Criddle Method with Pochop adjustments. Livestock Watering: Livestock watering may occur for up to two (2) animals. Assuming two (2) animals each consuming approximately 11 gallons per head per day, total estimated annual livestock consumption will equal 0.02 AF. Lagged Depletions. Diversions through Nisbet Well No 1 will result in depletions estimated to be 0.17 AF per month, lagged evenly throughout the year. This analysis assumes a distance between the well and the Colorado River being 2,435 feet, a no-flow boundary located at a distance of 3,145 feet from the Colorado River, and a calculated aquifer transmissivity of 2700 gpd/ft. Augmentation Releases: Out-of-priority stream depletions will be augmented by releases of WCWCD contract water from either Ruedi Reservoir, Green Mountain Reservoir, or the Avalanche Canal and Syphon as necessary to satisfy any downstream calls. WDWCD will release water pursuant to the direction of the Division Engineer or Water Commissioner. (17 pages) 12. 05CW129 RIO BLACO COUNTY-TRAIL CANYON TRIBUTARY TO E.

Detailed outline of what has been done toward completion of the appropriation and application of the water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures: Background. Bolts Lake is an existing structure that had, until approximately 1994, an active capacity of 100 acre feet. Pursuant to an Order issued in 1994 by the Colorado State Engineer, the existing dam was breached and the Lake does not currently have any active capacity. Minturn intends to rehabilitate the dam to provide Bolts Lake with active capacity of 320 acre feet and to integrate its storage capacity into the Town of Minturn municipal water supply system. The Minturn Town Council adopted Resolution No. 2, Series 1996, dated January 25, 1996, which authorizes the acquisition of the property on which Bolts Lake is located, either by purchase or pursuant to Minturn’s eminent domain powers. As a part of integrating Bolts Lake into the municipal water supply system, Applicant obtained a conditional storage water right, the Bolts Lake Water Right described above in paragraph 3, that is the subject of this application for a finding of reasonable diligence. In order to complete the appropriation of the Bolts Lake Water Right and apply it to beneficial use, Applicant must obtain a legal right to make use of Bolts Lake and rehabilitate the Bolts Lake dam impoundment to allow for storage in that structure. As a municipal water provider, Minturn originally sought, and continues to pursue, the development of, the Bolts Lake Water Right in order to meet Minturn’s anticipated future municipal water requirements. Since the adjudication of the Bolts Lake Water Right, Applicant has undertaken efforts to update population projections then relied on for determining the extent and timing of the need for additional municipal water storage. Population projections prepared in 1998 identified population levels that would require Minturn to incorporate additional storage capacity into its water supply system prior to Minturn reaching full build-out. These population projections have recently been updated and reflect a significant increase in Minturn’s estimated total population at full build-out. Therefore, it is likely that Minturn will require the storage and use of Bolts Lake to meet water supply demands to meet its growing population sooner than originally anticipated. In order to meet the projected water demands of its growing population, Applicant has accelerated its ongoing efforts to obtain access to Bolts Lake and to rehabilitate and enlarge the Bolts Lake dam impoundment. Applicant’s efforts during the diligence period include the following: A. Applicant entered into and maintained an Amended Memorandum of Understanding between the Town of Minturn and the Colorado River Water Conservation District (“CRWCD”), dated December 4th, 1996 and effective through December 4th, 2001. This MOU provided for the CRWCD’s participation with Minturn in the development of the Bolts Lake Project by providing financial and technical assistance, as well as for CRWCD’s possible acquisition of some storage capacity and/or augmentation water supply from Bolts Lake. B. In September 1999, Applicant investigated and obtained information, including laboratory sampling results, from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment regarding the water and soil quality associated with the Bolts Lake property to ensure that water stored for municipal and augmentation purposes would be of sufficient quality to allow such uses. C. Through 2000, Applicant took action to maintain its loan authorization for a construction loan from the Colorado Water Conservation Board (HB 96-153) for the Bolts Lakes rehabilitation project for the rehabilitation and enlargement of the Bolts Lake impoundment. D. From 2003 through early 2005, Applicant held several discussions with representatives of Eagle County and the CRWCD concerning the joint development of, and storage in, Bolts Lake. Discussions JULY 2005 RESUME WATER DIVISION 5 PAGE 7 with Eagle County involved the development of a conceptual outline and drafts of a Bolts Lake Project Agreement that addressed project feasibility, engineering, land acquisition, cost sharing, and storage allocation. E. Throughout the diligence period and continuing to the present, Applicant has diligently pursued discussions and negotiations with past owners, prospective purchasers, and the present owner of the Bolts Lake property, in an effort to acquire a legal right to use Bolts Lake for storage and release of the Bolts Lake Water Right. These discussions have included in-depth negotiations with Mortgage Investment Company (former owner, 1999), the ICON group (prospective purchaser, 2004), and Ginn Development (present owner, 2005). F. In 2005, Applicant engaged Martin & Wood Water Engineers to prepare a Town of Minturn Water Supply Master Plan which will, among other things, update and determine the amount of water demand required by Minturn at full build out projections and the timing of the need for additional water storage, the amount of storage required, and the use of Bolts Lake for such storage purposes. G. Applicant filed a statement of opposition to the application filed by the City of Colorado Springs and the City of Aurora in Case No. 95CW272 (Water Div. 5). In June 2002, Minturn entered into a stipulation in Case No. 95CW272 that provided for the protection of Minturn’s decreed water rights, including the Bolts Lake Water Right. H. Applicant’s attorneys have monitored the resume for Water Division 5 in order to determine whether it is necessary to file any statements of opposition to water court applications to protect this conditional water right. I. While difficult to quantify, Applicant’s expenditures and costs associated with the development and protection of the Bolts Lake Water Right during the diligence period are estimated to exceed $ 30,000. WHEREFORE, Applicant respectfully requests that the Court find and order that the conditional water right for Bolts Lake, as described in paragraph 3 above, be continued in full force and effect.

Box 1440, Boulder, Colorado 80306. 2. Decreed names of structures for which change sought: a. Frisco Town Ditch; and b. Frisco Well No. 7. 3. Previous decrees: a. The Frisco Town Ditch water right originally was decreed for diversion from Tenmile Creek on March 2, 1910 in Civil Action No. 1277, District Court of Summit County, State of Colorado, in the amount of 7.934 cfs, absolute, for domestic and municipal purposes, with an appropriation date of June 23, 1904. b. On October 11, 1954 in Civil Action No. 1970, said District Court decreed a change of 4.0 cfs of the Frisco Town Ditch water right to a new point of diversion on North Tenmile Creek. On December 15, 1981 in Case No. 81CW035, the District Court for Water Division No. 5, State of Colorado (“Water Court”), decreed a change of said 4.0 cfs of the Frisco Town Ditch water right to the present location on the north bank of North Tenmile Creek in the SE1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 33, Township 5 South, Range 78 West of the 6th P.M., Summit County, Colorado, at a point whence the north quarter corner of Section 34 bears North 65°27' East, a distance of 3,609 feet. c. The Water Court decreed changes of the remaining 3.934 cfs of the Frisco Town Ditch water right as follows: i. On August 9, 1973 in Case No. W-1790, 0.35 cfs was transferred to Frisco Well No. 1, 0.44 cfs was transferred to Frisco Well No. 2, and 0.89 cfs was transferred to Frisco Well No. 3, for a total of 1.68 cfs transferred to said wells. ii. On July 18, 1979 in Case No. W-1790-78, 1.07 cfs was transferred to Frisco Well No. 4. iii. On December 16, 1981 in Case No. 81CW115, 1.184 cfs was transferred to Frisco Well No. 5, which diverts groundwater tributary to Meadow Creek, which is tributary to Lake Dillon. d. A plan for augmentation including exchange for the entire 7.934 cfs of the Frisco Town Ditch water right was decreed by the Water Court on February 6, 1995 in Case No. 87CW198. Said augmentation plan decree authorized Frisco’s existing and future diversion points thereunder for municipal use of both the Frisco Town Ditch water right and Frisco’s share of Future Dillon Reservoir Water pursuant to the Summit County and Clinton Reservoir Agreements. e. On September 24, 1997 in Case No. 95CW141, the Water Court decreed Frisco Well Nos. 6 and 7 as alternate points of diversion for Frisco Well Nos. 1 (0.35 cfs) and 2 (0.44 cfs) under the 87CW198 augmentation plan. Frisco Well No. 6 diverts groundwater tributary to Meadow Creek, which is tributary to Lake Dillon; and Frisco Well No. 7 diverts groundwater that is directly tributary to Lake Dillon from a location in the SW1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 36, Township 5 South, Range 78 West of the 6th P.M., Summit County, Colorado. Well Permit No. 045453-F has been issued for Frisco Well No. 7 which, consistent with the 95CW141 decree, limits the maximum pumping rate to 190 gpm and the annual diversion amount to 18 acre-feet for irrigation of 10.2 acres. f. On October 25, 1999 in Case No. 98CW229, the Water Court decreed Frisco Well No. 5 as an alternate point of diversion for an additional 0.6 cfs of the 4.0 cfs interest in the Frisco Town Ditch water right decreed for diversion from North Tenmile Creek, as described in paragraph 3.b. above, for a total of 1.784 cfs that may be diverted through Frisco Well No. 5. g. On September 27, 2000 in Case No. 99CW228, the Water Court decreed Frisco Well No. 6 as an alternate point of diversion for an additional 0.99 cfs of the 4.0 cfs interest in the Frisco Town Ditch water right decreed for diversion from North Tenmile Creek, as described in paragraph 3.b. above, for a total of 1.78 cfs that may be diverted through Frisco Well No. 6. 4. Appropriation date: Frisco Well No. 7 is an alternate diversion point that operates under the June 23, 1904 priority of the Frisco Town Ditch water right, as described above. 5. Historic use: The decreed water rights for the Frisco Town Ditch and Frisco Well No. 7 historically have been used for domestic and municipal purposes, including irrigation, within the Town of Frisco and associated service areas. Attached hereto as Appendix A is a tabulation showing the various diversion points for the Frisco Town Ditch water right, the amounts divertible at each such point and the decrees authorizing such diversions. Attached hereto as Appendix B is a map depicting Frisco’s respective diversion points under the 87CW198 augmentation plan decree. Paragraph 19 of the 87CW198 decree contemplates that Frisco may seek additional diversion capacity through its wells and/or replacement of existing diversion facilities, and that Frisco is entitled to use such added or replacement facilities as alternate points of diversion for the Frisco Town Ditch water right or to divert Frisco’s Future Dillon Reservoir Water under the augmentation plan. The decrees entered in Case Nos. 98CW229 and 99CW228, as described above, added such diversion capacity to Frisco Well Nos. 5 and 6; likewise, this application seeks to add additional diversion capacity to Frisco Well No. 7 for diversion of the Frisco Town Ditch water right and Frisco’s Future Dillon Reservoir Water. Paragraph 19 of the 87CW198 decree provides that Areplacement of existing facilities or addition of other facilities will not require a showing of actual historic use, so long as future operations are governed by [the 87CW198] decree, and total diversions under the [Frisco] Town Ditch water right are limited to 7.934 cfs.@ Paragraph 17 of the 87CW198 decree limits Frisco’s use of the Future Dillon Reservoir Water under the Summit County and Clinton Reservoir Agreements to 100 acre-feet of consumptive use per year. 6. Proposed changes: Frisco seeks a decree herein approving the following claims: a. Removal of the pumping (190 gpm), volumetric (18 acre-feet per year) and irrigated area (10.2 acres) limits imposed on Frisco Well No. 7 by the 95CW141 decree, making operation of the well for all municipal purposes subject to the terms and JULY 2005 RESUME WATER DIVISION 5 PAGE 9 conditions of the 87CW198 augmentation plan decree without said limits. b. Operation of Frisco Well No. 7 as an alternate point of diversion under the 87CW198 augmentation plan decree for an additional 0.66 cfs of the 4.0 cfs interest in the Frisco Town Ditch water right decreed for diversion from North Tenmile Creek, as described in paragraph 3.b. above. Pursuant to this claim, Frisco Well No. 7 will be able to divert up to a total of 1.45 cfs under the Frisco Town Ditch water right, which is the sum of the amount decreed in Case No. 95CW141 when Frisco Well No. 7 is operating as an alternate diversion point for Frisco Well Nos. 1 and 2 (0.79 cfs) and the additional amount to be decreed herein (0.66 cfs). c. The right to re-drill and increase the permitted depth and capacity of Frisco Well No. 7. Frisco intends to re-drill Well No. 7 at its present location, and to increase its permitted depth from 119 feet to approximately 250 feet and its permitted capacity from 190 gpm to approximately 650 gpm (1.45 cfs). Frisco will obtain a well permit from the State Engineer’s office to authorize the increased pumping capacity of Frisco Well No. 7 for diversion of the Frisco Town Ditch water right and Frisco’s Future Dillon Reservoir Water pursuant to the 87CW198 augmentation plan decree. d. Clarify the decreed location of Frisco Well No. 7 at its actual location as constructed in the SW1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 36, Township 5 South, Range 78 West of the 6th P.M., Summit County, Colorado, at a point 1,000 feet east of the west section line and 1,500 feet south of the north section line of said Section 36. This is the same physical location as that presently permitted for Frisco Well No. 7. 7. Snowmaking consumptive use: Frisco also seeks a decree herein approving the following claim: a. Under the 87CW198 augmentation plan, Frisco Well Nos. 5, 6 and 7 are decreed as alternate diversion points for use of the Frisco Town Ditch water right and Frisco’s Future Dillon Reservoir Water for all municipal purposes. Frisco intends to begin diverting such water, including, in part, through Frisco Well No. 7, for all municipal purposes, including but not limited to snowmaking use at the Frisco Nordic Center. Frisco Well No. 7 and the Nordic Center are both located on the peninsula of land that extends into Lake Dillon. See Appendix B (depicting locations of well and center). Frisco will divert water for snowmaking use through Frisco’s municipal system, by diversion of the Frisco Town Ditch water right and/or Frisco’s Future Dillon Reservoir Water through Frisco Well Nos. 5, 6 and/or 7 pursuant to the 87CW198 augmentation plan decree. Frisco proposes to separately meter and account for all diversions for such snowmaking use and, consistent with the Clinton Reservoir Agreement, to apply a 20% consumptive use factor to such diversions. Frisco recognizes its obligation to replace any depletions to Denver when diverting Future Dillon Reservoir Water for municipal and snowmaking use hereunder in accordance with the Summit County and Clinton Reservoir Agreements. Consistent with the Summit County and Clinton Reservoir Agreements, Frisco claims no right to re-divert, reuse or recapture any return flows from use of Future Dillon Reservoir Water hereunder; Frisco will take no credit for such return flows other than credit taken to calculate the amount of replacement water to which Denver is entitled pursuant to said agreements. Frisco and Denver are presently negotiating an agreement to implement the use of Frisco’s 100 acre-feet of consumptive use Future Dillon Reservoir Water pursuant to the Summit County and Clinton Reservoir Agreements, and said agreement with Denver will be executed prior to entry of decree herein. 8. Proposed terms and conditions: a. Frisco acknowledges the need to comply with the October 25, 1988 Agreement and related Stipulation with the Colorado Water Conservation Board (“CWCB”) regarding impacts to the CWCB’s decreed instream flow (“ISF”) water rights on Tenmile and North Tenmile Creeks from operation of Frisco’s municipal system. Paragraph 14 of the 87CW198 decree states that Frisco may divert its Future Dillon Reservoir Water Afrom Dillon Reservoir or from sources of water directly tributary to Dillon Reservoir which will not affect any other water rights, specifically including the [CWCB’s] instream flow right on Tenmile Creek.@ Paragraph 19 of the 87CW198 decree further provides that the replacement or added diversion facilities requested herein may be used as alternate diversion points for the Frisco Town Ditch water right so long as such facilities are not located in the proximity of Tenmile or North Tenmile Creeks and would cause an increase in depletions to the CWCB’s instream flow rights beyond the levels contemplated in the 1988 agreement and stipulation. This application is in conformance with the 87CW198 decree and will not result in additional depletions to the ISF contrary to the 1988 agreement and stipulation. The requested additional diversion capacity at Frisco Well No. 7 under the Frisco Town Ditch water right and Frisco’s Future Dillon Reservoir Water will have an effect on Dillon Reservoir, but will not deplete Tenmile or North Tenmile Creeks. Similarly, diversions through Frisco Well Nos. 5 and/or 6 will have an effect on the Meadow Creek drainage, which is tributary to Lake Dillon, but will not deplete Tenmile or North Tenmile Creeks. b. Frisco is not seeking to change or increase the total amount diverted under the Frisco Town Ditch water right, nor the type, place or time of use thereunder. c. Frisco’s use of the Future Dillon Reservoir Water shall be limited to not more than 100 acre-feet per year of consumptive use in accordance with the 87CW198 augmentation plan decree and the pending agreement with Denver. d. Paragraph 20 of the 87CW198 decree provides that so long as Frisco’s plan for augmentation is operated in conformance with the requirements of said decree and certain agreements between Frisco and other water users, no injurious effects will occur. The changes sought herein will be operated in conformance with the terms and conditions of the 87CW198 augmentation plan and relevant agreements, and total diversions under the Frisco Town Ditch water right will not exceed 7.934 cfs on an instantaneous basis from Frisco’s various alternate points of diversion. e. Paragraph 17 of the 87CW198 augmentation plan decree contemplates that prior to reaching its ultimate water demands, Frisco may seek, as requested herein, to begin using a portion of its available diversions under both the Frisco Town Ditch water right and the Future Dillon Reservoir water, with the Aportion of diversions attributed to each aspect of operations [to] be determined administratively by the Division Engineer after consultation with Frisco and Denver.@ Operation of Frisco’s municipal system hereunder and under the 87CW198 decree will be in accordance with accounting provisions and forms approved by the Division Engineer after consultation with Frisco and Denver. f. Frisco does not request any changes to the terms and conditions of the 87CW198 decree. Any decree entered herein will be supplemental to the augmentation plan. 9.

(2) District Court in and for Garfield County Legal Description of Point of Diversion: The point of diversion as decreed is located on the North bank of the Roaring Fork River one-half mile below the mouth of Sopris Creek in Sec. 11, T. 8 S., R. 87 West, 6th P.M. Historic Use: Irrigation of approximately 137.2 acres of hay and pasture under BWCD’s interest in the Robinson Ditch water rights. In Case No. 93CW319, the Court decreed that 360 AF of annual consumptive-use credits are associated with said irrigation. In that case, the Court also decreed a change of use of BWCD’s Robinson Ditch rights to include augmentation. BWCD makes the credits available to contract allottees for use pursuant to an approved substitute supply plan or decree of Court. Statement of Plan for Augmentation: General description of water supply: The Taylor Creek Ranch Property consists of approximately 76.64 acres generally located in the SE1/4 of Sec. 1 and the NE1/4 of Sec. 12, T. 8 South, R. 86 West of the 6th P.M., in Eagle County, Colorado. See map attached to the Application. The Property, which is under single ownership, consists of one home, a storage pond, and 21.6 acres of irrigated lawns and open space. The purpose of the augmentation plan described herein is to protect the existing water supply for the Property by augmenting of out-of-priority depletions from the Augmented Water Rights. The plan for augmentation will provide replacement water to augment depletions associated with the domestic in-house use and pond evaporation use on the Property. The irrigation water use on the Property is supplied from a senior ditch right that does not require augmentation. Estimated water demands, consumptive uses and augmentation requirements: The water demand for Augmented Water Rights on the Taylor Creek Ranch Property will be associated with the following uses: domestic water use from 1 home and evaporation from 0.5 acre of pond surface area. Table 1, attached to the Application summarizes the estimated diversions and consumptive use demands for the uses from the Augmented Water Rights. Annual diversions are estimated at 1.62 AF and related annual consumptive use is estimated at 1.28 AF. Transit losses associated with the delivery of augmentation water from BWCD are estimated to be 5% of depletions. Domestic Uses. The Property will require an in-house water supply for 1 home. The home is served by a septic tank/leach field system with a 15% consumptive use assumption, resulting in an annual in-house consumptive use of 0.06 AF. Pond Evaporation. There will be water use on the Property associated with evaporation from 0.5 acre of pond surface area. Pond evaporation is 100% consumptive, for an annual evaporation consumptive use of 1.22 AF. Augmentation Water Supplies: Augmentation water will be provided from the sources identified above as necessary to augment out- of-priority depletions caused to the Frying Pan River, tributary to the Roaring Fork River, by diversions of water from the Augmented Water Rights. Prior to the entry of a ruling or decree, the Applicant will provide evidence to the Court of a water supply contract for the required amount of augmentation storage water needed to replace out-of-priority depletions, plus 5% to cover transit losses. A portion of the annual consumptive use may occur at times when there is no call on the Colorado River system. Nevertheless, the plan provides for full replacement of depletions from the Applicant’s uses of the Augmented Water Rights. Description of Augmentation Exchange Reaches: BWCD has several different sources of augmentation water, as described above. Depending on where the call is placed on the stream system, BWCD will release water from one of its augmentation sources as necessary to satisfy the call. When augmentation water is delivered downstream from the Applicant’s points of diversion (i.e., from Green Mountain Reservoir or the Robinson Ditch), then operation of the augmentation plan will include an exchange up to the points of diversion for the Augmented Water Rights. Following is a description of the possible exchange reaches. Robinson Ditch Exchange: The exchange reach follows the Roaring Fork River from the point of diversion for the Robinson Ditch up to the confluence of the Frying Pan River, then up the Frying Pan River to the confluence with Taylor Creek. Upper Terminus: The confluence of the Frying Pan River and Taylor Creek. Lower Terminus: The point of diversion for the Robinson Ditch. Rate of Exchange: 0.17 c.f.s. Source of Exchange Deliveries: JULY 2005 RESUME WATER DIVISION 5 PAGE 17

Exchange water will be delivered from the Robinson Ditch, the lower terminus of the exchange reach, the source of supply for which is the Roaring Fork River. Operation of Exchange: When the Augmented Water Rights are not in priority because of a valid call by senior adjudicated water rights, then the Applicant will continue to divert water at those structures, and augmentation water will be delivered from the Robinson Ditch as needed to satisfy the call. Exchange water will then be delivered from the Robinson Ditch up the Roaring Fork River to the confluence with the Frying Pan River, then up Frying Pan River to the confluence with Taylor Creek. Green Mountain Exchange: The exchange reach follows the Roaring Fork River from the confluence with the Colorado River up to the confluence of the Frying Pan River, then up the Frying Pan River to the confluence with Taylor Creek. Upper Terminus: The confluence of the Frying Pan River and Taylor Creek. Lower Terminus: The confluence of the Roaring Fork River and the Colorado River. Rate of Exchange: 0.17 c.f.s. Source of Exchange Deliveries: Exchange water will be delivered from Green Mountain Reservoir to the confluence of the Colorado River and the Roaring Fork River, the lower terminus of the exchange reach. Operation of Exchange: When the Augmented Water Rights are not in priority because of a valid call by senior adjudicated water rights, then the Applicant will continue to divert water at those structures, and augmentation water will be delivered from Green Mountain Reservoir to the confluence of the Colorado River and the Roaring Fork River as needed to satisfy the call. The exchange water will then be delivered up the Roaring Fork River to the confluence with the Frying Pan River, then up Frying Pan River to the confluence with Taylor Creek. Third Claim; Application for Appropriative Rights of Exchange. Taylor Creek Pond Exchange: The exchange reach follows Taylor Creek from the location of the point of diversion for the Taylor Creek Pond and extends to the confluence of Taylor Creek and the Frying Pan River. Upper Terminus: Point of diversion for the Taylor Creek Pond. Lower Terminus: The confluence of Taylor Creek and the Frying Pan River. Appropriation Date: June 30, 2005. How Appropriation Was Initiated: The exchange appropriation was initiated by the formation of intent to appropriate water and preparation of engineering data to support the exchange. Rate of Exchange: 0.13 c.f.s. Uses: piscatorial and aesthetic. Source of Exchange Deliveries: Exchange water will be delivered from the BWCD augmentation water supply sources identified above to the confluence of Taylor Creek and the Frying Pan River, the lower terminus of the exchange reach. Operation of Exchange: When the Taylor Creek Pond water right is not in priority because of a valid call by senior adjudicated water rights, then the Applicant will continue to use water at that structure and will deliver water from the augmentation water supply sources identified above as needed to satisfy the call. The exchange water will then be delivered up Taylor Creek from the confluence with the Frying Pan River to the point of diversion for the Taylor Creek Pond. Freiler Spring Exchange: Location: The exchange reach follows Taylor Creek from the location of the point of diversion for the Freiler Spring and extends to the confluence of Taylor Creek and the Frying Pan River. Upper Terminus: Point of diversion for the Freiler Spring. Lower Terminus: The confluence of Taylor Creek and the Frying Pan River. Appropriation Date: June 30, 2005. How Appropriation Was Initiated: The exchange appropriation was initiated by the formation of intent to appropriate water and preparation of engineering data to support the exchange.

Use of pond areas at HCSWA is for shorebird and waterfowl migration stops from late February to early June and then again in the late August to November period, as well as year round use by resident wildlife populations. Management of the pond system requires that ponds be filled, allowed to drain and refilled in order to provide desired wildlife habitat conditions, feed, and a means to facilitate vegetation control. Draining of the ponds, and seepage from all of the ponds described in the claim for Water Storage Rights recharges the groundwater aquier in the vicinity of the ponds. 10. Remarks: Arbogast Pumping Plants #1, #2, and #3 were decreed for a cumulative total of 10 c.f.s. for irrigation of approximately 300 acres in C.A. No. 830, July 21, 1959. In Case No. 92CW209, the point of diversion for all three rights was changed to the single location of the present pumping facility. These irrigation water rights are still used for their decreed purposes, and nothing herein affects, modifies, or abandons those existing water rights. The application in this matter seeks confirmation of an additional water right from the Arbogast Pumping Plant diversion structure for new and additional uses with a junior priority.

If non-irrigation, describe purpose fully: Horsethief Canyon State Wildlife AreaHCSWA) is located in Mesa County, Colorado along the Colorado River. The area is developed and managed as a wildlife replacement area under the Grand Valley Unit, Colorado River Water Quality Improvement Program. The series of ponds for which the storage rights are being filed are part of the wildlife developments at HCSWA. The ponds are managed for resident and migratory wildlife, and involves managing water to promote desirable aquatic and shoreline vegetation, to promote production of invertebrates as a major food source for shorebirds and waterfowl; and to provide appropriate water depths and mudflats for feeding, brood rearing, and resting. Use of pond areas at HCSWA is for shorebird and waterfowl migration stops from late February to early June and then again in the late August to November period, as well as year round use by resident wildlife populations. Management of the pond system requires that ponds be filled, allowed to drain and refilled in order to provide desired wildlife habitat conditions, feed, and a means to facilitate vegetation control. The filling of these ponds, and draining of the ponds to the surrounding aquifer recharges the aquifer through these well structures. 17. Name and address of owner of the land upon which any structure is or will be located, upon which water is or will be stored, or upon which water is or will be placed to beneficial use. The address for the wildlife area within which all of the ponds described in the application and amended application are located is: Same as applicant. 18. Remarks: There is no pumping from these excavated ponds. Water is diverted into, and stored in, these excavated ponds through the Arbogast Pipeline in order to maintain water levels, and recharge ground water in amounts greater than evaporation of groundwater that occurs from these structures at certain water levels. Water consumption is through evaporative loss only. 31. 03CW62 (84CW191) GARFIELD COUNTY-MONUMENT GULCH TRIBUTARY TO THE COLORADO RIVER. David Furr; P.O. Box 186; DeBeque, CO 81630 970-260-2636.

Decreed Amt: 1.38 a.f. conditional, cumulative, for the entire Vulcan Pond System with the right to fill and refill when water is physically and legally available. Decreed Uses: Irr., fire protection, stock watering, augmentation, recreation, and piscatorial which includes wildlife usage of pond areas. Statement of Plan for Augmentation including exchange, covering all applicable matters under C.R.S. §§ 37-92-103(9), 302(1)(2), and 305(8): Applicants are developing a property referred to as the Morningstar Preserve, a small residential development consisting of nine individual residential lots adjacent to the Roaring Fork River. The domestic in-house water will be supplied by existing exempt wells with the exception of one residential lot which will require issuance of a new well permit pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137. Annual water use for the Black Diamond Well is expected to be 0.68 a.f. per year. No outdoor use will be permitted from the Black Diamond Well. Water will be released from Ruedi Reservoir or Green Mountain Reservoir pursuant to an allotment contract with the Basalt Water Conservancy District sufficient to offset depletions within the Preserve associated with evaporative pond loss estimated to be 0.53 a.f., based on the 0.219 acres of surface area associated with the four ponds, domestic in-house use from the Black Diamond Well and irrigation of lawn and garden areas. The Basalt Water Conservancy District allotment contract will cover year-round depletions. Once a call has been placed on the Roaring Fork River, releases will be made from McFarlane Pond to offset the Black Diamond Well domestic depletion and irrigation consumptive use requirements. The total annual irrigation diversion requirement for 0.98 acres will be 1.79 a.f. The water levels in the McFarlane Pond, the Black Diamond Pond, the Lodge Pond, and the Benson Pond will be reduced as necessary to offset their individual evaporative losses and no new storage will take place. Applicant claims a conditional right of exchange for 2.0 c.f.s., for up to 4.4 a.f. (with a consumptive use of 3.13 a.f.) annually, with an appropriation date of November 12, 2004. The upstream terminus of the augmentation by exchange described above is the points of diversion for the McFarlane Pipeline, the Cabin Ditch, the Black Diamond Ditch, and the Black Diamond Well, as described above. The downstream terminus is the confluence of the Roaring Fork River and the Colorado River.

CLAIM FOR CHANGE IN EXISTING PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION; Name of Structures to be Augmented: Sills Well No. 1; Sills Pond No. 1. Property on which Augmentation Water will be Used: Creek Side Estates will be a residential subdivision of six (6) residential lots on 15.37 acres of land owned by the Applicant. The lots range from 2.02 to 3.08 acres in size. The proposed subdivision lays adjacent to State Highway 325 (Porcupine Creek Road), approximately four (4) miles north of the City of Rifle. This parcel of land is located in a portion of Section 19, Township 5 South, Range 92 West, of the 6th P.M. Statement of Plan of Augmentation: As set forth in the original application, diversions through the Sills Well No. 1 will be augmented by utilizing Applicant’s ownership interest in 6/30ths of the historic consumptive use credits confirmed by the Court in Case No. 81CW56 based on the May 11, 1889 decree in Civil Action No. 103, awarding to the Rifle Creek Canyon Ditch, Structure No. 5 decreed, 4.0 c.f.s. absolute with an appropriation date of March 10, 1883. Applicant’s 6/30ths of the consumptive use credits equals 0.786 AF per year. The annual consumptive use attributable to Applicant’s new uses equal 0.7353 AF and occur as outlined in the table set forth in the Amended Application on file with the Water Court. Out of priority depletions associated with the claimed uses will be augmented with Applicant’s consumptive use credits referenced above, and the new Sills Well No. 1 will provide water for the uses claimed herein and will be operated as a separate water supply system independent of the Kay’s Korner Well Nos. 1 and 2 supply system decreed in Case No. 81CW56. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137, Applicant applied for a residential well permit in June 2005. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-305(8), the State Engineer shall curtail all out of priority diversions, the depletions from which are not so replaced as to prevent injury to vested water rights. Applicant shall install measuring devices, provide accounting, and supply calculations regarding the timing of depletions as required by the Division Engineer for the operation of this plan of augmentation. Applicant shall also file an annual report with the Division Engineer by November 15th following each preceding irrigation year (November 1 through October 31) summarizing diversions and replacements made under this plan). The dry-up of historically irrigated lands that provides Applicant’s consumptive use credits has been completed. Applicant’s land is comprised of Lots 1 through 5 and Common Area, Block 2, Rifle Creek Ranch Subdivision. This parcel was originally owned by Ann C. Robinson at the time of the 81CW56 decree, later bought by Patricia and J.C. Owens, and then later sold to the Applicant. As of 2000, J.C. Owens had dried up 2.83 acres of common area and approximately .75 acres of road known as the Creek Side Drive, which represents the approximately 3.58 acres for which the Applicant is responsible under the 81CW56 decree. Applicant executed and recorded covenants, as required by Section 8B of the 81CW56 decree that limits water use to domestic use, stockwatering of one head of livestock per lot, and irrigation of no more than 1,000 square feet per lot. Depletions: The total annual consumptive use of 0.7353 AF attributable to the claimed uses are outlined in Section III.3., above. Accounting for the lag time depletions from the Sills Well No. 1 will be developed in coordination with the Division Engineer.

Decreed Uses: In accordance with paragraph 5(a), (b), and (c) of the section entitled "Manner of Operation of Project Facilities and Auxiliary Facilities" in Senate Document 80. Information from the previous decree for Ruedi Reservoir: Source: Frying Pan, tributary of Colorado River. Legal Description: An on-channel reservoir located in Sections 7, 8, 9, 11, and 14 through 18, Township 8 South, Range 84 West of the 6th P.M. The reservoir is located in portions of Eagle and Pitkin Counties. Adjudication Date: June 20, 1958. Appropriation Date: July 29, 1957. Case No.: C.A. 4613. Court: Garfield County District Court. Decreed Amount: 102,369 AF (Originally decreed for 140, 697.3 AF; reduced to 102, 369 AF in Case No. W-789-76). Decreed Uses: Generation of electric energy, domestic, municipal, industrial, irrigation and stock watering. By decree of the Water Court in Case No. 81CW34, Ruedi Reservoir was decreed a refill right in the amount of 101,280 AF, conditional. In Water Court Case No. 95CW95, 44,509 AF was made absolute. Information from previous decrees for Troy and Edith Ditch rights: See table included in the original application. In Case No. W-2281, Division 5, the Court decreed that 453 AF of annual consumptive-use credits were available to these ditches, and that 300 AF could be stored in an unnamed reservoir. The Basalt Water Conservancy District owns 412.89 AF of the 453 AF, and makes the water rights available to contract allottees for use pursuant to an approved substitute supply plan or decree of Court. The Troy and Edith augmentation water can be delivered to the Frying Pan, Roaring Fork or Colorado Rivers by by-passing water at the headgate on the Frying Pan River. Statement of Plan for Augmentation: The Kim Property JULY 2005 RESUME WATER DIVISION 5 PAGE 28 consists of 47 acres and has historically been irrigated by shares in the Missouri Heights-Mountain Meadow Irrigation Company. In addition to the irrigation water, there is an exempt domestic well on the property (Permit No. 241419) permitted to serve one (1) single-family home, irrigate up to one (1) acre of lawn and garden, and watering of domestic animals. Since the current well permit does not allow for commercial use, a new well permit is required, which, in turn, requires a plan for augmentation. Applicants plan to continue to irrigate the property as a hay-production ranch with 190 shares from the Missouri Heights-Mountain Meadow Irrigation Company. However, the Dragonfly Well will be used to irrigate 10,000 square feet of lawn and garden. As stated above, in addition to the lawn and garden irrigation, other proposed new water uses to be served by the existing Dragonfly Well include two (2) single- family residences, two (2) ADUs, a barn, a commercial kitchen operated in the barn, and fill and refill of a 35,000 gallon storage tank exclusively dedicated to fire protection and Laura’s Pond. In summary, Applicants seek approval of this plan for augmentation to replace out of priority in-house domestic use for the single family residences, ADUs, lawn and garden irrigation, commercial catering purposes and fire protection as well as depletions associated with the diversions made through the Dragonfly Well and evaporations from Laura’s Pond. Total estimated consumption for all uses, as more fully described below, is estimated at 2.32 AF per year. See Exhibit B, Table 1: Kim and Foster Dragonfly Well Diversion and Depletion Requirements attached to original application. Water Demands and Depletions: Lawn and Garden Irrigation: Applicants will divert 0.592 AF per year for 10,000 square feet area of lawn and garden irrigation. Associated depletions will total approximately 0.473 AF per year. See Exhibit B, Table 1: Kim and Foster Dragonfly Well Diversion and Depletion Requirements attached to original application. Evaporation from Pond Storage: Laura’s Pond, with a water surface area of 0.40 acres, will be kept full at all times during the irrigation season, resulting in a gross evaporation of 1.5 AF per year. See Exhibit B, Table 1: Kim and Foster Dragonfly Well Diversion and Depletion Requirements contained in original application. In House Demands for Single Family Home(s), ADUs, and Commercial Kitchen. In-house water demands, including use in the barn for the commercial kitchen, are expected to be 2,000 gallons per day, or 2.240 AF per year. Associated depletions, using a septic tank/leachfield system to treat wastewater, will total approximately 0.336 AF per year. See Exhibit B, Table 1: Kim and Foster Dragonfly Well Diversion and Depletion Requirements contained in original application. Lagged Depletions: Accounting for the lag-time depletions from the Dragonfly Well will be developed in coordination with the Division Engineer. Augmentation Releases: Out-of-priority stream depletions will be augmented by releases of BWCD contract water from either Ruedi Reservoir, Green Mountain Reservoir, or bypassed at the headgate of the Troy and Edith Ditch as necessary to satisfy any downstream calls. Specifically, BWCD will release water pursuant to the direction of the division engineer or water commissioner. Furthermore, Applicants will install such measuring devices and provide such accounting as the Division Engineer and BWCD may require. Implementation of this augmentation plan will prevent injury to absolute water rights or decreed conditional water rights water rights. Name and address of the owner or reputed owner of land upon which any new diversion or modification to any existing diversion is or will be constructed: Applicants.
