Introduction: An augmentation plan authorizing out-of-priority irrigation of the Reed Hollow Ranch was approved in Case No. 06CW72 (the “original plan”). The source of augmentation water is nontributary ground water underlying the ranch. This application seeks to add an additional source of augmentation water, nontributary ground water leased from a neighbor. The augmented structures and uses will not change. 3. Structures to be augmented: the augmented structures are those identified in the original plan: 3.1 FRN Well #5 (permit no. 68445-FR) and FRN Well #5 Supplemental Well (permit no. 68446-F). FRN Well #5 was decreed on August 25, 1975, in Case No. W-5422, District Court, Water Division 1; amount 1.34 cfs; use irrigation; priority date June 3, 1966. FRN Well #5 supplemental well (Permit No. 68446-F) is presently an undecreed, although permitted, supplemental point of diversion. Until a water right is decreed in an appropriate case, it shall be considered junior to any decreed water right, and in priority only in times of free river. 3.1.1 Locations: FRN Well #5: NW1/4SW1/4 of Section 12, T8S, R66W of the 6th P.M., approximately 2641 feet from the south and 561 feet from the west section lines.

APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHTS. 5. Decreed Surface Water Right for Which Change is Sought. Noble seeks to change the use of 20 shares of stock in FIDCO. The 20 shares represent a 2.5 percent ownership of the 800 total shares in FIDCO. (a) Name of Structure. The Farmers Independent Ditch (the “Ditch”). (b) Date of Original and Relevant Subsequent Decrees. FIDCO owns water rights equivalent to 147 cfs, deriving from two separate rights that were both adjudicated in Case No. CA6009 on April 28, 1883. (c) Legal Description of the Ditch.

The Ditch is approximately 14 miles long and diverts from the South Platte River in Water Division 1, Water District 2. More specifically, the Ditch’s headgate is located on the east bank of the South Platte River in the SW/4SW/4 of Section 19, Township 3 North, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado, as depicted in Figure 1. (d) Decreed Source of Water. The South Platte River. (e) Appropriation Date. Out of FIDCO’s total right of 147 cfs, its right for 61.6 cfs has an appropriation date of November 20, 1865, and its right for 85.4 cfs has an appropriation date of November 20, 1876. (f) Total Amount Decreed to the Ditch. 147 cfs. (g) Decreed Uses. Irrigation. (h) Amount of Water to be Changed. Noble seeks to change 20 FIDCO shares, which are currently evidenced by Certificate Number 1043. The ownership of the 20 shares entitles Applicant to a pro rata interest in FIDCO’s water rights, as those rights are described in subparagraphs (b)-(g) of this paragraph, that is equivalent to 3.68 cfs. (i) Historical Use. The 20 FIDCO shares that Noble seeks to change historically irrigated approximately 150 farm acres within the SW/4 of Section 20, Township 4 North, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado, approximately 1.5 miles northwest of Gilcrest, Colorado (the “Sparrow Farm”). (j) Historic Point of Diversion. The 20 shares of FIDCO water have historically been delivered to the Sparrow Farm via one headgate location along the Ditch in Section 29, Township 4 North, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado, as shown in Figure 2. After diversion from the Ditch, a lateral carried the diverted water approximately half a mile to a holding pond on the Sparrow Farm. (k) Proposed Use. Augmentation, recharge, replacement, and exchange, in addition to the decreed irrigation use, with the right to totally consume the consumable portion of the water, either by first use, successive use, or disposition. The proposed recharge facilities will be located in the SE/4 of Section 31, Township 4 North, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado, as depicted in Figure 3 (the Sodbuster Parcel). The Sodbuster Parcel contains Lots 1-3 and 5 of the Sodbuster Subdivision as well as additional lands within the SE/4 of Section 31, Township 4 North, Range 66 West. 6. Statement of Proposed Change. FIDCO owns, operates, manages, and maintains the Ditch. Noble owns 20 shares in FIDCO, which represents approximately 3.68 cfs. The 20 FIDCO shares have historically irrigated approximately 150 acres in the Sparrow Farm, and Noble entered into a dry-up agreement on October 3, 2014, with the owner of Sparrow Farm to cease irrigation. Noble seeks to change the use of the 20 FIDCO shares to include, in addition to the decreed irrigation use, augmentation, recharge, replacement, and exchange, with the right to totally consume the consumable portion of the water through first use, successive use, or disposition. In particular, Noble proposes to use the water attributable to the 20 FIDCO shares and other water rights for recharge and augmentation to offset stream depletions from withdrawal wells located in the Sodbuster Parcel (the SE/4 of Section 31, Township 4 North, Range 66 West). The withdrawal wells on the Sodbuster Parcel (known as the Farr F Wells or any additional or replacement wells) are projected to have a cumulative groundwater withdrawal of 170 acre-feet per year on average and will provide water for industrial and commercial uses in connection with Noble’s oil and gas exploration and production operations in and around Weld County, Colorado. To help offset stream depletions from the withdrawal wells on the Sodbuster Parcel, Noble will dry up the approximately 150 acres of the Sparrow Farm that the 20 FIDCO shares historically irrigated and deliver a portion of the water attributable to the 20 FIDCO shares to recharge facilities located in the Sodbuster Parcel. To protect historical return flows from the Sparrow Farm, Noble will (1) deliver a portion of the 20 FIDCO shares to the Sodbuster Parcel’s recharge facilities to be lagged back to the South Platte River, (2) turn back headgate deliveries at the existing return structure (also known as the Camp Augmentation Station) (generally located in the SE/4NE/4 of Section 24, Township 3 North, Range 67 West, 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado, as depicted in Figure 1) to the South Platte River (dependent upon first obtaining an agreement with the owners of the Camp Augmentation Station), or a combination of (1) and (2). 7. Name and Address of Owners of Property Upon Which Any Existing or New Diversion Structure or Storage Structure Is or Will Be Constructed . (a) Below is the name and address of the owner of the Sodbuster Parcel to which a portion of Noble’s 20 FIDCO shares will be diverted for recharge: Noble Energy, Inc., c/o Ken Knox, P.E.; Physical and Mailing Address: 1625 Broadway, Suite 2200, Denver, CO 80202.

(b) Legal Description of Wells. All of the Farr F Wells are located in the SW/4SE/4 of Section 31, Township 4 North, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado, within the Sodbuster Parcel, as depicted in Figure 3. (c) Proposed Use. As set forth ¶ 4, Noble is applying for new underground water rights from the Farr F Wells (and supplemental and replacement wells) for commercial and industrial purposes, in addition to the decreed irrigation rights. 9. Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation. (a) The water rights associated with the 20 FIDCO shares as described in ¶5 above. (b) A conditional surface water right of 10 cfs for recharge, replacement, and augmentation, which Noble seeks as part of this Application. (c) Noble may obtain and lease additional water from a source or sources acceptable to the State Engineer to be used in connection with a Substitute Water Supply Plan (“SWSP”) sought by Noble and approved by the State Engineer during the pendency of this matter (“Leased Water”). 10. Statement of Plan for Augmentation. To aid in its oil and gas operations in and around Weld County, Colorado, Noble intends to divert approximately 170 acre-feet per year on average from the Farr F Wells and other future wells on the Sodbuster Parcel (as more fully described in ¶ 8). The diversions from such wells will cause depletions to the South Platte River, and these depletions may be out of priority. This augmentation plan will provide for replacement of all such out-of-priority depletions in time, location, and amount to the extent necessary to prevent injury to all vested water users by delivering the water rights described in ¶ 9 above to either (a) recharge facilities located on the Sodbuster Parcel or (b) an existing return structure on the Ditch. (a) Recharge Facilities on the Sodbuster Parcel. One or more recharge sites will be developed within the Sodbuster Parcel to generate consumptive use credits from the water rights described in ¶ 9 above. All recharge facilities will be constructed and located within the Sodbuster Parcel depicted on Figure 3. (b) Existing Return Structure on the Ditch. To replace out-of-priority depletions from the above-described wells, Noble may also deliver water to the South Platte River via an existing

return structure (also known as the Camp Augmentation Station), which is generally located in the SE/4NE/4 of Section 24, Township 3 North, Range 67 West, 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado, as shown on Figure 1. Noble is currently seeking approval from the owners of the Camp Augmentation Station for use of the existing return structure and will not use this structure without prior written approval. 11.

15CW3113 PHILIP MORTENSEN AND JUDY MORTENSEN, 18633 County Rd 26 Brush, CO 80723, 970-842-2016. APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHT IN MORGAN COUNTY. Attorneys for Applicants: William A. Paddock, Reg. No. 9478, Johanna Hamburger, Reg. No. 45052, Carlson, Hammond & Paddock, LLC, 1900 Grant Street, Suite 1200, Denver, CO 80203; Phone Number: (303) 861-9000; Fax Number: (303) 861-9026. 1. Decreed water right for which change is sought: A. Name of structure: Mortensen Well A-57, Well Permit No. 8477-RR. B. Date of original and all relevant subsequent decrees: June 9, 1972, Case No. W-1351; September 10, 1978, Case No: W-2968; April 12, 1982, Case No. 79CW276; all entered by the District Court for Water Division No. 1. C. Legal description of structure as described in most recent decree that adjudicated the location: Located in the SW1/4 SE1/4, Section 32, Township 4 North, Range 56 West of the 6th P.M., Morgan County, at a point 1,476 feet south and 2,612 feet west of the NE Corner of Section 32. The location of the structure is shown on the USGS topographic map attach to this application as Exhibit A. D. Decreed source of water: groundwater. E. Appropriation Date: March 1, 1954. F. Total amount decreed to structure in gallons per minute (g.p.m.) or cubic feet per second (c.f.s.): 3.43 c.f.s. G. Decreed use or uses: Irrigation. H. Amount of water that applicant intends to change: 3.43 c.f.s. 2. Detailed description of proposed change: A. Complete statement of change, including a description of all water rights to be changed, a USGS topographic map showing the approximate location of historical use of the rights and proposed place of use, and records or summaries of records of actual diversions of each right the applicant intends to rely on to the extent such records exist. Applicants own the NE1/4 of section 32, T4N, R56W of the 6th P.M. The Upper Platte and Beaver Canal Company’s North Ditch crosses through the NW1/4 NE1/4 of section 32, so historically Applicants did not deliver water from the well to lands in the NE1/4 of section 32 lying north of the North Ditch. Accordingly, in Case No. W-2968 this well was decreed for the irrigation of 120 acres in the NE1/4 and 35 acres in the NW1/4 of Section 32, T4N, R56W of the 6th P.M. In Case No. 79CW276 the irrigated acreage in the NE1/4 of Section 32 was reduced to approximately 105 acres. In 2007 Applicants installed a center pivot irrigation system that crosses the North Ditch, thereby enabling them to serve lands located north of that ditch in the NE1/4 of section 32 with the well. This application seeks to change the place of use of the 35 acres authorized to be irrigated in the NW1/4 of Section 32 to the NE1/4 of Section 32, so that a total of up to 140 acres can be irrigated by the well in the NE1/4 of Section 32. A map showing the formerly and currently irrigated lands is attached to this Application as Exhibit A. The Applicants are now able to deliver their surface water through the sprinkler to irrigate the land. When the surface water is insufficient to meet the irrigation needs of the land, groundwater is used. This well is thus used to supplement Applicants’ surface water supply and to make-up any shortage is surface water, up to the full irrigation requirement for the land. All out-of-priority depletions caused by the operation of this well are replaced pursuant to the augmentation plan of the Upper Platte and Beaver Canal Company decreed in Cases No. W-2968, 02CW401, and 10CW298. Thus, the proposed change of water rights will not result in expanded use or injury to the vested water rights of others. Records of

diversions of the well, to the extent they exist, are as follows: 2006: 255.2 acre-feet; 2007: 56.8 acre-feet; 2008: 28.2 acre-feet; 2009: 18.5 acre-feet; 2010: 24.2 acre-feet; 2011: 14.0 acre-feet; 2013: 47.7 acre-feet; 2014: 16.0 acre-feet.

Denver Water South Platte River collection system: 10.4.1. Denver Water and the Colorado State Forestry Service (“CSFS”) have undertaken joint projects including: development and implementation of a vegetation recovery, restoration and management program for Cheesman Reservoir properties following the Hayman fire; long-term management of selected properties near Granby and Winter Park; extensive forestry assistance and wildfire mitigation at the Trumbull/Deckers demonstration sites; and forestry management on Denver Water lands in Jefferson and Douglas counties along the North Fork of the South Platte and the main stem of the South Platte Rivers. The CSFS continues management efforts to address the mountain pine beetle problem in Grand and Summit counties, thereby reducing fire danger in Denver Water’s watersheds. The CSFS has been very successful in leveraging past contract and project monies to obtain matching grants used to complete work on Denver Water lands. Since the Hayman Fire in 2002 through 2013, Denver Water has paid over $3,100,000 to the CSFS for their services. In 2010 Denver Water contracted with the CSFS for $1,552,315 over a five-year contract period (2010-2014) which includes CSFS personnel and operational costs, as well as direct support for project implementation. 10.4.2. Denver Water and the USFS signed an MOU in 2010 to work together to improve forest and watershed health by reducing the risk of wildfires. Under the MOU, the USFS and Denver Water agreed to develop and update annually a Five-Year Operating Plan that identifies joint projects in Denver Water’s priority watersheds for the years 2011-2015. The Operating Plan calls for Denver Water to spend $16.5 million, and for USFS to match that expenditure with $16.5 million of additional forestry work. The Board will determine each year whether to fund the next increment of the Operating Plan. The first contract with USFS committed Denver Water to spend $1 million during federal fiscal year 2011 (October 1, 2010 – September 30, 2011) in support of the first set of projects identified in the Operating Plan. The forestry work will be conducted in the Strontia Springs Zone of Concern in the Upper South Platte Watershed. For fiscal year 2012 and 2013 the Board spent $2,835,426 for project implementation. 10.4.3. In 2013, Denver Water initiated a watershed management program as part of the Strategic Plan, to provide a high quality water supply and a resilient and reliable system. As part of this, Denver Water contracted with Arcadis to design a watershed management program that will evaluate each watershed, coordinate watershed activities, prioritize watershed improvement projects and engage stakeholders. With over 40% of its water supply coming from the South Platte Collection System, Denver Water began by evaluating and characterizing the Upper South Platte River watershed. The project focused on water quality conditions and potential threats to water quality, specifically focusing on impacts to Denver Water’s treatment plants. Overall, the evaluation indicated that the water quality within the watershed has been stable over the past 13 years, with the exception of localized mine discharges, forest fires, and recreational impacts. Additionally,

Denver Water’s watershed water quality monitoring program collects a significant number of water samples and generating high quality data that provide statistical information sufficient to evaluate water quality in the watershed. Denver Water spent $114,543.00. 10.4.4. Expenditures of approximately $688 million during the subject diligence period to prosecute the work necessary to complete Denver’s integrated water supply and treatment and distribution systems. 11. Names(s) and address(es) of owner(s) or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: Denver Water is the owner of the land upon which all structures that are the subject of this application are located.

Decree information for which change is sought: Case Nos. 08CW206, 08CW315, 08CW316, and 08CW319, Water Division 1, decreed on October 22, 2009. The parcels associated with the decrees are comprised of a total of 59.8 acres and are generally located in the NW1/4 of Section 21, T11S, R66W

of the 6th P.M., as shown on Attachment A (Parcels 1, 2, 3 and 6). Said parcels are contiguous and the water decreed in these cases is owned by Applicants. The groundwater which is the subject of the decrees and this change are not nontributary Dawson and Denver and nontributary Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer groundwater. Also, Case Nos. 08CW317 and 08CW318, decreed on October 22, 2009, are associated with a total of 95 acres also located in the NW1/4 of Section 21, as shown on Attachment A (Parcels 4 and 5). Proposed change: The decrees in Case Nos. Case Nos. 08CW206, 08CW315, 08CW316, and 08CW319, require that wells to withdraw the decreed groundwater be located on the land which is the subject of that specific decree. By this change, Applicants request that the combined decreed amounts be withdrawn through wells located on any of the parcels which are the subject of those decrees (Parcels 1, 2, 3, and 6). Applicants also request that 12.5 acre-feet per year of not nontributary Dawson aquifer groundwater decreed in Case Nos. 08CW317 and 08CW318, be withdrawn in combination with the Dawson aquifer groundwater decreed in Case Nos. 08CW206, 08CW315, 08CW316, and 08CW319 (57 acre-feet per year total), through wells located on any of the parcels which are the subject of those decrees (Parcels 1 through 6). No other parts of the original decrees will be changed herein. Description of plan for augmentation: Groundwater to be augmented: 14.25 acre-feet per year over a 300 year period and 14.25 acre-feet per year over a 100 year period of not nontributary Dawson aquifer groundwater decreed in Case Nos. 08CW206, 08CW315, 08CW316, 08CW317, 08CW318, and 08CW319, pursuant to the change requested above. Water rights to be used for augmentation: Return flows from the use of not nontributary Dawson aquifer water and return flows or direct discharge of nontributary Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer groundwater decreed in Case Nos. 08CW206, 08CW315, 08CW316, 08CW317, 08CW318, and 08CW319. Statement of plan for augmentation: The 14.25 acre-feet per year of Dawson aquifer groundwater will be used to serve up to nineteen residential lots to be located on Parcels 1, 2, 3, and 6 as shown on Attachment A, through individual wells for a 300 year period. Each lot will require 0.75 acre-feet per year for in house use (0.4 acre-feet), irrigation of 5000 square feet of home lawn and garden (0.3 acre-feet), and use in a water feature (0.05 acre-feet). The second 14.25 acre-feet per year of Dawson aquifer groundwater will be used for irrigation and fire protection use for a 100 year period. Applicants reserve the right to amend these values without amending the application or republishing the same. Sewage treatment for in house use will be provided by non-evaporative septic systems. Return flows associated with in house and irrigation use will be approximately 90% and 15%, respectively. Water used in a water feature is fully consumed. During pumping Applicants will replace actual depletions to the affected stream systems pursuant to Section 37-90-137(9)(c), C.R.S. Because depletions may occur to stream systems in Water Divisions 1 and 2, this application is being filed in both divisions. Based on the location of the Subject Property, return flows from use of the water on the Subject Property may return to the South Platte River and the Arkansas River stream system and such return flows are sufficient to replace the total annual actual depletion. If not, Applicants request that the total actual depletion be returned to the South Platte River stream systems and for a finding that those replacements are sufficient. Applicants will reserve an equal amount of the nontributary groundwater to meet post pumping augmentation requirements. Further, Applicant prays that this Court grant the application and for such other relief as seems proper in the premises. (6 pages). 15CW3120 Francis E.

Source of Water Rights: The Upper Dawson aquifer is not nontributary as described in Sections 37-90-103(10.7), C.R.S., and the Lower Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers are nontributary as described in Section 37-90-103(10.5), C.R.S. Estimated Amounts: Upper Dawson: 14 acre-feet, Lower Dawson: 11 acre-feet, Denver: 39 acre-feet, Arapahoe: 24 acre-feet,

Laramie-Fox Hills: 18 acre-feet. Proposed Use: Domestic, commercial, industrial, irrigation, agriculture, livestock watering, fire protection, and augmentation purposes, including storage, both on and off the Subject Property. Description of plan for augmentation: Groundwater to be augmented: All of the available Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater as requested herein. Water rights for augmentation: Return flows from the use of not nontributary and nontributary groundwater and direct discharge of nontributary ground water. Statement of plan for augmentation: The Upper Dawson aquifer water will be used for inhouse use in up to three single family residences, irrigation of lawn, garden, trees, pasture and hay on the Subject Property, stockwatering, and storage. Applicant reserves the right to revise these uses without having to amend the application or republish the same. Sewage treatment for inhouse use will be provided by non-evaporative septic systems and return flow from inhouse and irrigation use will be approximately 90% and 15% of that use, respectively. During pumping Applicant will replace actual depletions to the affected stream system pursuant to Section 37-90-137(9)(c.5), C.R.S. Applicant estimates that depletions occur to the Cherry Creek and South Platte River stream systems. Return flows accrue to the South Platte River stream systems via Cherry Creek, and those return flows are sufficient to replace actual depletions while the subject groundwater is being pumped. Applicant will reserve an equal amount of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property to meet post pumping augmentation requirements. Further, Applicants pray that this Court grant the application and for such other relief as seems proper in the premises.

Detailed outline of what has been done toward completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed including expenditures during the previous diligence period: A. Following entry of the decree in case no. 04CW28, Town Center began evaluating the design, location, cost, and, potential productivity of alluvial wells associated with the Green Valley Ranch Alluvial Well #1 and #2, and the Green Valley Ranch Alluvial Well Field conditional water rights. In 2010, Town Center consultants constructed a monitoring well at or near the location of Green Valley Ranch Alluvial Well #1, and performed pump tests on the well to determine the productivity of the well. Town Center consultants used this information to evaluate the potential location and cost of developing the Green Valley Ranch Alluvial Well #1 and #2, and the Green Valley Ranch Alluvial Well Field. Town Center consultants updated the cost evaluation work in 2015. Town Center expended a total of approximately $159,000 on engineering consultant costs and $113,000 on well drilling and installation costs associated with this work during the diligence period. B. During the diligence period, counsel and consultants for Town Center evaluated the availability of existing sources of augmentation water decreed in 04CW28 to replace out-of-priority depletions from the Green Valley Ranch Alluvial Well #1 and #2, and Green Valley Ranch Alluvial Well Field. Town Center also evaluated potential additional augmentation sources for the Green Valley Ranch Alluvial Well #1 and #2, and Green Valley Ranch Alluvial Well Field as part of ongoing water supply planning work. Engineering consultant costs for this work are included in $159,000 described above. In addition, Town Center expended approximately $7,000 on legal fees to conduct this work. C. During the diligence period, Town Center performed maintenance on, as well as improvements to, the Green Valley Ranch irrigation system and the Denver Basin, nontributary irrigation wells, which provide a source of augmentation water for the subject water rights, pursuant to the augmentation plan decreed in case no. 04CW28. Town Center steadily expanded the sprinkler irrigation system during the diligence period to cover additional areas. Town Center also enlarged and improved two storage ponds to increase forebay storage and regulation of irrigation water pumped from nontributary wells and the Green 15 Pond Well for the sprinkler irrigation system. Town Center expended approximately $80,000 on the storage improvements and $42,000 on improvements to the Green 15 Pond Well and other wells. Other improvements during the diligence period included replacement of well pumps and motors, replacement of water transmission pipes, replacement and upgrades of transducers, SCADA devices, and flow meters. Town Center has spent approximately $70,000 each year during the diligence period on maintenance, monitoring and reporting related to the Green Valley Ranch irrigation system. 5. Claim to Make Conditional Water Right Absolute: A. Water Right: Green 15 Pond Well. Dates water applied to beneficial use: Green 15 Pond Well was constructed in late-2004. The pump was installed and a pump test was performed in September 2005. Town has used the Green 15 Pond Well for irrigation of the Green Valley Ranch Golf Course and other decreed uses since that time. Amount: 1.1 cfs (500 gpm) absolute. Use: The uses described in paragraph 3.E above. D. Supporting evidence that Town Center diverted water in-priority and applied such water to the beneficial uses claimed in the amounts claimed: Water from the Green 15 Pond Well was first used in September 2005, based upon the pump installation and test report that is on file with the State Engineer’s Office. Water was used continuously for the decreed uses beginning on or before October 2007, pursuant to substitute water supply plan approval. Summaries of accounting records demonstrating use of this well since decreed in 2009, and the use of this well at the full decreed rate of 1.1 cfs (500 gpm), are attached to the application as Exhibit 1. E. Description of place of use where water is applied to beneficial use: Green Valley Ranch Golf Course and the Green Valley Ranch North development, as more fully described in paragraph 3.E above. 6. Name and address of owners of land upon which all structures will be located or upon which water will be placed to beneficial use: A. Oakwood Homes, Town Center Metropolitan District, and HC Development and Management Services, Inc., 4908 Tower Road, Denver, Colorado 80249. 7. Remarks or any other pertinent information: WHEREFORE, Town Center respectfully

requests that the Court enter an order and decree: A. Finding that Town Center has been reasonably diligent in the development of the conditional water rights described herein; and B. Confirming that the conditional water right for decreed to Green 15 Well Pond has been made fully absolute for all decreed uses in the amount of 1.1 cfs (500 gpm), or in the alternative, continuing such conditional water right in full force and effect; and C. Continuing the conditional water rights decreed to the Green Valley Ranch Alluvial Well #1 and #2, and Green Valley Ranch Alluvial Well Field in full force and effect for another six-year diligence period; and D. Providing such other relief as the Court deems proper. (7 Pages) 15CW3122 Melecio and Margaret A. Chavez, 739 Weld County Road 47, Hudson, CO 80642.

Historical Use and Augmentation. Rock Well No. 1-11652 irrigates 60 acres on the land described above and is augmented pursuant to Contract No. 1112 of the Groundwater Management Subdistrict of the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District (GMS) which augmentation plan is decreed in Case No. 02CW335. 4. Proposed Correction of Location of Well—Correction to an Established But Erroneously Described Point of Diversion. Applicant seeks to correct the decreed location of the Rock Well No. 1 to its actual location in accordance with C.R.S. §37-92-305(3.6). 4.1. Rock Well No. 1; Well No. 1-11652-R, WDID 0208572. 4.1.1. Original Decreed Location. NE1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 35, Township 1 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado, at a point 1300 feet South and 650 feet West of the NE corner of said Section 35. 4.1.2. Replacement Permit. A valid replacement well permit, 11652-R, with a more accurate location was issued on April 26, 1978 permitting the location of the well in the NE1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 35, Township 1 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado, at a point 1320 feet from the North section line and 330 feet from the East Section line. This location is within 25 feet of the actual physical location of the well. 4.1.3. Correct Well Location. The well is located in the NE1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 35, Township 1 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado, at a point 1,310 feet from the North section line and 350 feet from the East section line. It was confirmed that the well is at this location by GMS staff and White Sands Water Engineers. The water has been diverted from this point since the well was relocated in 1978. 4.1.4. Authority. C.R.S. §37-92-305(3.6) allows the owner of a well to file an application for the correction to an established but erroneously described point of diversion. An established but erroneously described point of diversion is one that is in the same physical location as when it was decreed or has been moved pursuant to a valid well permit, but is not within 200 feet of the location specified on the applicable decree. C.R.S. §37-92-305(3.6)(a, b). An applicant can apply for a correction to an established but erroneously described point of diversion if there is already a diversion at the corrected point of diversion and one or more water rights are diverted at the corrected point of diversion. C.R.S. §37-92-305(3.6)(d)(IV). 5. Alternative Proposed Correction of Location of Well. In the event that this court does not find sufficient authority in C.R.S. §37-92-305(3.6), Applicant alternatively seeks to correct the decreed location of Rock Well No. 1 to its correct location as described here, under this court’s authority and C.R.S. §37-92-305(3) which allows the approval of a change of water right when such a change does not injuriously affect other water rights holders. 6. Name and Address of Owners of Structures. Applicant owns the structure and the land upon which the structure is located.

Previous diligence decree: A

timely application for a finding of reasonable diligence for the subject water right was filed in compliance with Colorado law, and a final decree finding reasonable diligence was entered on September 10, 2009 in Case No. 2008CW304, District Court, Water Division No. 1, State of Colorado. 5. Detailed outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures: The District provides water and wastewater services to approximately 50,000 customers in Commerce City and Adams County. The District maintains a diverse portfolio of water rights – both conditional and absolute – in order to provide potable and non-potable water to its present and future customers. SACWSD Well No. 80 is an integral piece of the District’s overall water supply system, and the District intends to pursue development and beneficial use of the water right as growth continues and water demands increase within District. The District’s 2011 Water System Master Plan anticipates that the District will need an additional 4,300 acre-feet of potable alluvial well supply by 2040, and identifies SACWSD Well No. 80 as a component of the District’s planned expansion of its potable water system that will be developed to meet this demand. Accordingly, the District continues to maintain ownership of the land on which Well No. 80 will be built and has secured all easements necessary for construction of the well and associated infrastructure. SACWSD Well No. 80 is part of the District’s integrated water system. During the diligence period, the District has engaged in the following activities and incurred the following costs in its efforts to develop, operate and maintain its municipal water system: 5.1 The District has incurred an average of approximately $1,360,000 per year in general costs and expenses in support of the municipal water supply system and for maintaining, protecting and expanding the system. 5.2 Over the diligence period, the District has incurred a total of $387,100 in engineering fees for engineering work in support of the municipal supply system. 5.3 On average during the diligence period, the District spent approximately $835,000 per year on capital improvement projects associated with its municipal supply system. Since 2009, the District’s improvements have been focused on increasing the availability of non-potable water, and beginning in 2019, the District intends to undertake an expansion of the potable alluvial well supply. The District estimates that it will ultimately spend more than $202 million for build-out of its municipal system by 2056. 5.4 The District incurred a total of $1,426,728 in engineering fees associated with maintenance of its existing water supplies, including but not limited to such activities as accounting for the District’s water use, operation of and accounting for the District’s plan for augmentation, protecting the District’s water rights from injury by opposing water court applications, and assisting the District with daily water operations. Of the total amount, $599,074 was spent on operating, maintaining and accounting for the District’s plan for augmentation, pursuant to which SACWSD Well No. 80 will be augmented. 5.5 The District has incurred a total of $1,884,926.93 in legal fees to obtain decrees for water rights that are part of the District’s integrated water system and for participating as an opposer in various Water Court cases to protect the District’s water rights against injury from other water users. 5.6 The District completed a comprehensive Water System Master Plan in 2011, which includes planning specific to SACWSD Well No. 80. Additionally, the District has and continues to work with the City of Commerce City on planning, growth projections and water supply demands, as the District’s service area is primarily within the City’s boundaries. In addition to in-house staff time at the District, the District incurred $505,180 in consultants’ fees for planning-related work during the subject diligence period. 6. Names and addresses of owners or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: Applicant. WHEREFORE, South Adams County Water and Sanitation District respectfully requests the Court to enter a decree finding that South Adams County Water and Sanitation District has proceeded with reasonable diligence toward the completion of the appropriation of the subject conditional water right and continuing the subject conditional water right in full force and effect for an additional diligence period.

Proposed Augmentation Plan: 5.1 Structures to be Augmented. The MRS Spring and MRS Ponds described above. 5.2 Water Rights to be Used as the Source of Augmentation Water. Pursuant to an Augmentation Water Lease Agreement between Applicant and the City of Boulder ("Boulder") dated September 1, 2015, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Aug Water Lease"), Applicant has the right to the annual delivery of up to 0.6 acre feet per year of water that is fully consumable and decreed for augmentation purposes (the "Augmentation Water"). The initial term of the Aug Water Lease is twenty years. A list of the possible augmentation water sources is set forth on Exhibit A of the Aug Water Lease and includes the following: (a) fully consumable return flows from the use of Windy Gap water for municipal purposes in Boulder's water supply system; (b) water rights represented by Boulder's ownership of shares in the North Boulder Farmers Ditch Company and changed for augmentation use in cases such as Case No. 94CW285; (c) water rights represented by Boulder's ownership of shares of stock, both common and preferred, in the New Consolidated Lower Boulder Reservoir and Ditch Company and its pro-rata share of the water rights decreed to Baseline Reservoir represented by shares of the Base Line Land and Reservoir Company changed for augmentation use in cases such as Case No. 94CW284; and (d) water diverted pursuant to the water rights decreed to the Barker Meadow Reservoir in Case No. 99CW217. The Augmentation Water may include other sources of supply owned or controlled by Boulder provided that such sources have already been decreed or changed to augmentation use, such use is approved by the Applicant, Boulder and the Division Engineer, and such water can be provided at one or more of the Points of Release. 5.3. Calculation of Depletions: Applicant proposes to augment out of priority depletions associated with the MRS Spring and MRS Ponds as follows: 5.3.1 Potable Water Depletions. The amount of water diverted by the MRS Spring will be measured by a totalizing flow meter installed in the water treatment facility that treats water from the MRS Spring. Water from the MRS Spring is treated after use by a central wastewater treatment plant located on the property that discharges to Como Creek. Five percent (5%) of the water so diverted and treated will be deemed consumed. It is estimated that current diversions from the MRS Spring are one acre foot per year, with a resulting depletion of 0.05 acre feet. Future development of the MRS facilities is not expected to more than double the amount of potable water use. 5.3.2 Pond Evaporation. The MRS Ponds have a combined surface area of 0.2 acres. Free water evaporation at the location of the Ponds is approximately 2.0 acre feet per surface acre during May through October, per NOAA Technical Report NWS-33, with snow or ice covering the Ponds the remainder of the year. Evaporative losses are thus computed to be 0.4 acre feet per year (0.2 surface acres times 2.0 acre feet/acre). 5.4 Provision of Augmentation Water. Pursuant to the Aug Water

Lease, Boulder will make available to the Applicant Augmentation Water in the form of monthly releases in the amount of the out-of-priority depletions for that month associated with the MSR, subject to monthly maximums set forth in Exhibit B to the Aug Water Lease. The Augmentation Water will be released (a) to North Boulder Creek immediately below the outlet to Boulder's Silver Lake Reservoir; (b) to North Boulder Creek immediately below the outlet to Boulder's Lakewood Reservoir; (c) to Boulder Creek immediately below the outlet to Boulder's Barker Meadow Reservoir; (d) to Boulder Creek at a point immediately below the discharge of the Boulder Canyon Hydroelectric Plant at Orodell; (e) to Boulder Creek immediately below Boulder's Wastewater Treatment Facility outfall; or (f) at such point or points on which Boulder and Applicant mutually agree in writing and which is approved by this Court after publication of corresponding amendment to this augmentation plan (the "Point(s) of Release"). The Point of Release shall be at the discretion of Boulder provided that the chosen point of release satisfies the requirements of this augmentation plan decree; however, under no circumstances shall Boulder be required to release the Augmentation Water at a point or points other than those described in (a) through (f) above. The Applicant shall bear any transit losses charged by the State water officials below such point(s), if any. 5.5 Measurement Devices. Applicant will install and maintain such water measuring devices and implement such accounting procedures as may be required to verify that the amount of Augmentation Water provided equals or exceeds, on a monthly basis, the amount of out-of-priority depletions resulting from the use of water under the above proposed plan for augmentation. 6. Exchange Rights Claimed. The MRS Spring and MRS Ponds are located upstream of the Points of Release. Accordingly, Applicant claims appropriative rights of exchange from the various Points of Release to the MRS Spring and MRS Ponds as set forth in this Section 6 (the "Exchange Rights"): 6.1 Exchange To Points. The upstream points of the Exchange Rights are the locations of the MRS Pond and MRS Spring set forth in Sections 3.2 and 4.2 above. 6.2 Exchange From Points: The downstream points of the Exchange are the Points of Release described in Section 5.4 above. 6.3 Source of Exchange Water. The Augmentation Water is described in Section 5.2 above. 6.4 Rate and Volume of Exchanges. The Exchanges are claimed at the rate of 27 gpm, with an annual maximum of 0.6 acre feet. 6.5 Appropriation Date. The appropriation date claimed is the date of the filing of this application. 6.6 CWCB Rights. By Stipulation in Case No. 08CW162, the Colorado Water Conservation Board ("CWCB") acknowledged and agreed that the minimum stream flows rights of the CWCB in Como Creek decreed in Case No. 08CW162 and North Boulder Creek decreed in Case No. 94CW19 and 94CW20 were subordinate to the depletions associated with the MRS up to 0.9 acre feet per year. Accordingly, the Exchanges, in the amounts claimed in this application, are not subject to such instream flow rights. 7. Land Ownership. Applicant owns the land on which the MRS, MRS Spring and MRS Ponds are located.

vi. Amount that Fort Collins intends to change: Fort Collins seeks to change its pro rata share of the water rights decreed to the Box Elder Ditch based upon its ownership of five shares of the 64 outstanding shares in the Box Elder Ditch Company. The water rights associated with Fort Collins’ five shares will hereinafter be referred to as “Fort Collins’ Box Elder Ditch Water Rights.” vii. Decreed use: Irrigation. Fort Collins’ Coy Ditch Water Right and Fort Collins’ Box Elder Ditch Water Rights will collectively be referred to as the “Ditch Water Rights.” 3. Detailed description of proposed changes: a. Description of historical use: i. Fort Collins’ Coy Ditch Water Right: Fort Collins’ Coy Ditch Water Right was historically used to irrigate approximately 107 acres of land (the “Hoffman Property”), the location of which is generally depicted on Exhibit C. Summaries of records of diversions of the Coy Ditch water right are depicted on Exhibit D. ii. Fort Collins’ Box Elder Ditch Water Rights: Fort Collins’ Box Elder Ditch Water Rights were historically used to irrigate two parcels of land. Four of five Fort Collins’ shares in the Box Elder Ditch Company were used to irrigate approximately 208 acres of land (“Arapahoe Bend Property”), the location of which is generally depicted on Exhibit E. The remaining share was used along with other Box Elder Ditch Company shares to irrigate approximately 190 acres of land (the “Swift Property”), the location of which is generally depicted on Exhibit E. Summaries of records of diversions of the Box Elder Ditch water rights are depicted on Exhibit F. b. Change in point of diversion: Fort Collins is not changing the point of diversion for Fort Collins’ Box Elder Ditch Water Rights, and will continue to divert those rights at the Box Elder Ditch headgate described in Paragraph 2(b)(3). Fort Collins may continue to divert and/or account for its diversion entitlements for the Fort Collins’ Coy Ditch Water Right at the location of the decreed point of diversion described in Paragraph 2(a)(3) (also referred to as the Fort Collins Power Plant Dam), but also seeks approval to divert the Fort Collins’ Coy Ditch Water Right from the Cache La Poudre River at one or more of the following alternate points of diversion: i. Cache La Poudre Reservoir Inlet Canal (aka “Timnath Inlet Canal”), headgate located on the

north bank of the Cache La Poudre River in the NW1/4 of the SW1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 18, Township 7 North, Range 68 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County. ii. Greeley Canal No. 2, headgate located on the north bank of the Cache La Poudre River in the SW1/4 of the SE1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 11, Township 6 North, Range 68 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County. iii. Fossil Creek Reservoir Inlet Ditch (“FCRID”), headgate located on the Cache La Poudre River, in the NE1/4 of the NE1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 20, Township 7 North, Range 68 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County. iv. Box Elder Ditch, headgate located on the south bank of the Cache La Poudre River in the SW1/4 of the SE1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 20, Township 7 North, Range 68 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County. v. Rigden Diversion Pump Station, located in the SW1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 27, Township 7 North, Range 68 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County. vi. Rigden Inflow-Outflow Spillway, located in the SW1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 27, Township 7 North, Range 68 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County. c. Change of type and place of use: Fort Collins will use the Box Elder Ditch Water Rights for continued irrigation use in the Box Elder Ditch system, and will use the Ditch Water Rights within Fort Collins’ service area as it now exists (as generally depicted on Exhibit G) or may from time to time be expanded, either directly or by exchange, for all municipal uses, including but not limited to domestic, irrigation (including, without limitation, agricultural irrigation), storage, commercial, industrial, hydroelectric power generation, stock watering, recreation, fish and wildlife propagation and maintenance, environmental mitigation and restoration, and both within and outside of its existing and future service area for augmentation, replacement, substitution, and exchange. Fort Collins will also use the Ditch Water Rights to serve water users located within and outside of Fort Collins’ current and future service area with whom Fort Collins has contracts to deliver water from its water system, and pursuant to contract exchanges, leases, or water trades made by mutual agreement with other water users, for the beneficial uses described above, and for any other uses described in the contracts, contract exchanges, leases, or mutual agreements. In addition, Fort Collins seeks approval to use the Ditch Water Rights for instream flow use exclusively by the Colorado Water Conservation Board pursuant to an agreement with the Colorado Water Conservation Board. Fort Collins seeks entry of a decree for the Ditch Water Rights that authorizes the right to use, reuse, successively use, and dispose of the water to extinction, subject to replacement of the historical irrigation return flows as needed to prevent injury to other water rights. When the Ditch Water Rights are used for municipal purposes, Fort Collins will maintain dominion and control over both the sewered and the non-sewered return flows resulting from this use using the accounting methodology set forth in the decree entered in Case No. 92CW129. d. Change to include storage: The Ditch Water Rights may also be stored at the following structures and subsequently released for the uses described in Paragraph 3(c): i. Fossil Creek Reservoir, located in portions of Sections 9, 10, 15, 16, and 17, Township 6 North, Range 68 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County. Deliveries to Fossil Creek Reservoir will be made through diversions at the FCRID, described in Paragraph 3(b) above. ii. Rigden Reservoir, located in the SW1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 27 and the SE1/4 of Section 28, Township 7 North, Range 68 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County. Deliveries to Rigden Reservoir will be made through diversions at the FCRID, the Box Elder Ditch, and the Rigden Diversion Pump Station described in Paragraph 3(b) above. Diversions through the FCRID will be delivered approximately 1.5 miles down-ditch from the headgate to an in-ditch structure where the water will be removed from the FCRID and delivered to Rigden Reservoir. Diversions through the Box Elder Ditch will be delivered approximately 2.1 miles down-ditch from the headgate to an in-ditch diversion structure where the water will be removed from the Box Elder Ditch and delivered to Rigden Reservoir. Diversions through the Rigden Diversion Pump Station will be made directly from the Cache La Poudre River into Rigden Reservoir. iii. Certain former gravel pits, located in the SW1/4 of Section 3, Township 6 North, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., Larimer County. Deliveries to the former gravel pits will be made through diversions at the Box Elder Ditch, described in Paragraph 3(b) above. Diversions through the Box Elder Ditch will be delivered into the Arthur Lateral of the Box Elder Ditch and will be delivered approximately 3.9 miles down-ditch from headgate of the Box Elder Ditch to an in-ditch diversion structure where the water will be removed from the Arthur Lateral and delivered to the former gravel pits. iv. Timnath Reservoir (aka “Cache La Poudre Reservoir”), located in portions of Sections 23, 24, 25, and 26, Township 7 North, Range 68 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County. Deliveries to Timnath

Reservoir will be made through diversions at the Cache La Poudre Reservoir Inlet Canal, and through diversions at the Greeley No. 2 Canal and internal trade, both diversion structures described in Paragraph 3(b) above. e. Historical return flows: In order to protect against injury to other water rights, Fort Collins will maintain return flows from the historical use of the Ditch Water Rights in time and amount at or above any calling water right with a priority date senior to December 31, 2014 located downstream of the historical location of return flows, but not when the calling right is junior to that date. By this application, Fort Collins appropriates the historical return flows from the Ditch Water Rights for the uses described in Paragraph 3(c) above, and claims the right to use the full divertible yield of the Ditch Water Rights, as changed herein, whenever the call is junior to December 31, 2014 from a water right located downstream of the location of the historical return flows. Return flows will be replaced using the sources of replacement water described in Paragraph 12. 4. Remarks: a. Coy Ditch. East Larimer County Water District (“ELCO”) owns the other fifty percent (50%) interest in the water right decreed to the Coy Ditch. The Decree entered in Case No. 09CW282, Water Division No. 1, approved a change of thirty-five percent (35%) interest in the water right for the Coy Ditch by ELCO. In the Decree entered in Case No. 13CW3166, ELCO changed its remaining fifteen percent (15%) interest in the water right for the Coy Ditch. b. Box Elder Ditch. Other parties have changed their interests in water rights decreed to the Box Elder Ditch in the following cases in Water Division No. 1: Case Nos. 88CW213, 90CW71, 92CW165, 94CW15, 00CW166, and 09CW30. In Case No. 94CW15, the Water Court for Water Division No. 1 approved a change of water right for three shares in the Box Elder Ditch Company owned by Louis F. Swift. The three shares were used in conjunction with one of Fort Collins’ shares on the Swift Property, described in Paragraph 3(a)(ii).

Other water delivered to and stored in Rigden Reservoir. Fort Collins may use other water stored in Rigden Reservoir, including water delivered to Rigden Reservoir pursuant to the conditional appropriative rights of substitution and exchange described in Paragraphs 14-21 below. i. Fort Collins seeks entry of a decree that provides the ability to add additional or alternative sources of replacement water to the plan for augmentation pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-305(8)(c) or successor statutes. 13. Complete statement of plan for augmentation: The Fort Collins Ponds are all excavated former gravel pits that have been reclaimed, or are currently in the reclamation process. The sources of water for these ponds are ground water and surface runoff inflows. Fort Collins seeks approval of a plan for augmentation for these ponds, the purpose of which is to identify and replace the out-of-priority depletions that occur from Fort Collins’ ownership and use of the ponds, including the evaporation loss from the surface area of these ponds that was exposed by mining operations subsequent to December 31, 1980, and other depletions that result from Fort Collins’ management of water levels in the ponds. There is a total of approximately 126.08 surface acres of exposed ground water in the Fort Collins Ponds, based on the high water levels for the ponds. Of this total amount, 10.7 surface acres were exposed prior to December 31, 1980. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(11)(b), replacement of evaporation loss is not required for these surface acres. Replacement of out-of-priority depletions from the evaporation loss for the remaining 115.38 surface acres will be made in accordance with the requirements of the decree. Exhibit H shows the maximum surface acres for each pond, and the division between grandfathered and post-1980 surface acres. The maximum surface areas described herein may be modified upon final surveys or other methods. As necessary to prevent injury to other water rights, Fort Collins will replace out-of-priority depletions from evaporation loss based on monthly calculations of the actual post-1980 exposed surface acres, or in the alternative, Fort Collins will augment out-of-priority depletions from evaporation loss based on the maximum post-1980 exposed surface acres for each pond. As part of its management of the Fort Collins Ponds, Fort Collins also intends to alter water levels in certain ponds by removing water from them periodically. Such dewatering may result in out-of-priority depletions to the

Cache La Poudre River that will be replaced under the plan for augmentation described in this application. The ponds that may be the subject of the water level management operations are: Shields Pit, Big Pond, Artist Point Pond, Pelican Pond, Running Deer Pond, and Port of Entry Pit. To the extent possible, Fort Collins intends to deliver the water removed from these ponds to Rigden Reservoir for storage and subsequent release for augmentation, replacement, substitution, and exchange uses, either directly by pipeline delivery or direct diversion from the Cache La Poudre River, or by exchange as described in Paragraphs 14-21. Fort Collins may also deliver water removed from the Fort Collins Ponds at the Greeley Canal No. 2 headgate, as described in Paragraph 3(b)(ii), for internal trade into Timnath Reservoir. Fort Collins will replace any out-of-priority depletions caused by the water level management operations. To the extent Fort Collins’ ownership and use of the Fort Collins Ponds results in other out-of-priority depletions, Fort Collins will also replace those depletions in accordance with the terms and conditions of the decreed plan for augmentation. Fort Collins will use the water rights listed in Paragraph 12 to replace the out-of-priority depletions. Time periods when the Fort Collins Ponds are frozen will be assumed to not result in any evaporation losses or replacement obligations for such losses. Replacements will be made above the headgate of the calling water right located downstream of the point of depletion for each of the Fort Collins Ponds. The administrative date for determining when depletions are out-of-priority for each of the Fort Collins Ponds will be the priority date for the water right claimed in this case for each pond. APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL APPROPRIATIVE RIGHTS OF SUBSTITUTION AND EXCHANGE 14. Appropriative rights of substitution and exchange. Fort Collins claims a water right to operate exchanges of water up to the flow rates listed below, including the right to provide substitute supplies in accordance with C.R.S. §§ 37-80-120(2), (3), and (4), and 37-83-104 using the following exchange-from and exchange-to points and substitute supplies (“Exchange Rights”). 15. Points of release of substitute supply (exchange-from points): a. Confluence of the Cache la Poudre River and the Prospect Drain, located in the NW1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 21, Township 7 North, Range 68 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County. This includes water level management releases from Big Pond, Artist Point Pond, and Pelican Pond. b. Confluence of the Cache la Poudre River and the river delivery outlet for Running Deer Pond, located in the NW1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 28, Township 7 North, Range 68 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County. c. Confluence of the Cache la Poudre River and the river delivery outlet for the Port of Entry Pit, located in the NW1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 27, Township 7 North, Range 68 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County. 16. Points of diversion (exchange-to points): a. FCRID headgate, as described above in Paragraph 3(b)(ii); and b. Box Elder Ditch headgate, as described above in Paragraph 3(b)(iii). 17. Exchange reach: The upstream terminus of the appropriative rights of exchange claimed in this application is the Box Elder Ditch headgate described above in Paragraph 3(b)(iii). The downstream terminus of the appropriative rights of exchange claimed in this application is the confluence of the Cache la Poudre River and the river delivery outlet for the Port of Entry Pit described above in Paragraph 15(c). 18. Sources of substitute supply: Water from Big Pond, Artist Point Pond, Pelican Pond, Running Deer Pond, and Port of Entry Pit under the water rights for the Fort Collins Ponds described in Paragraphs 5-9 above and released to the Cache la Poudre River via the Prospect Drain, the river delivery outlet for Running Deer Pond, and the river delivery outlet for the Port of Entry Pit. 19. Date of appropriation: July 30, 2015. a. How appropriation was initiated: Fort Collins’ staff and special legal counsel studied and developed the details of the Exchange Rights. On July 29, 2015, John Stokes, Director of Fort Collins’ Natural Areas Department, issued a memorandum stating that Fort Collins had formulated the necessary intent to appropriate conditional rights of substitution and exchange, and directing staff and special legal counsel to take additional steps to provide notice to the public. On July 30 and 31, 2015, Fort Collins provided notice of the appropriation on the Natural Areas Department’s website, posted signs announcing the appropriation, and provided notice by publication in the Fort Collins Coloradoan. 20. Claimed Exchange Rate: Fort Collins claims a maximum rate of exchange from each exchange-from point to each exchange-to point of 6 c.f.s., CONDITIONAL. Fort Collins reserves the right to claim absolute any amount of water exchanged under the Exchange Rights prior to the Water Court entering a decree in this case, without the need for publishing another amendment to the application. 21. Proposed uses: Fort Collins will use the Exchange Rights by direct
