The initial point of survey of Blue Mesa Dam is located at a point on the right abutment being the intersection of the center line of the axis of the dam and of the center line of the outlet works tunnel, whence the SW corner of Section 31, Township 49 North, Range 4 West, N.M.P.M. bears North 78º36 44 West a distance of 3, feet. This water right has been used historically for all of its decreed purposes. Applicant has entered into a water service contract with the United States of America for 14.0 acre-feet of water from Blue Mesa Reservoir. b. Class D Augmentation Certificates issued by the Upper Gunnison River Water Conservancy District (UGRWCD) as defined in paragraph 60 of the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, Ruling and Decree in Case Nos. 02CW94 and 03CW107 (Meridian Lake Decree). Applicant has a total of 58 Class D Augmentation Certificates. The use of the augmentation certificates will be in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Meridian Lake Decree. Statement of plan for augmentation, covering all applicable matters under CRS (9), 302(1)(2) and 305(8). The following water right or rights will be augmented as described below: a. The In Stream Flow (ISF) decreed to the Slate River in 80CW92 for Segment 4 (Coal Creek to East River) held by the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB). This right is senior to the right claimed in this Application and is entitled to 23 cfs during the period April 1 to November 30 and 12 cfs during the period December 1 to March 31. This right will be augmented by releases from Meridian Lake Reservoir pursuant to the Meridian Lake Decree. Augmentation for the period October through April 30 has been calculated pursuant to paragraphs 54 and 55.d. of the Meridian Lake Decree as 0.12 acre-feet before transit losses. For the remainder of the year, depletions to the ISF will be replaced by releases from Meridian Lake pursuant to paragraph 60 of that decree by releasing the amount required to replace the monthly depletions to the ISF based upon the shortages to the ISF experienced in 2002, the driest year of record, which has been calculated to be 1.79 acre-feet before transit losses or such other amounts the Court determines to be necessary to prevent injury. Transit loss will be assessed pursuant to paragraph 46 of the Meridian Lake Decree. b. Except for the ISF, there is no history of a call originating in the reach of the Slate River, East River and Gunnison River from the vicinity of Riverland Industrial Well to Blue Mesa Reservoir. Therefore, no augmentation is required in that reach. c. The Riverland Industrial Well is vulnerable to a call originating on the Gunnison River downstream of the Wayne N. Aspinall Unit. The water available pursuant to the contract with the United States or a new contract with the UGRWCD will be used to augment depletions in that reach of the Gunnison River. That amount is 2.32 acre-feet. d. Applicant will avail itself of the subordination of the UGRWCD s Recreational In Channel Diversion decreed in Case No. 07CW71 in lieu of replacing depletions to the RICD.
