District Court, Water Division ___________________, Colorado Court Address: ________________________________________________________ CONCERNING THE APPLICATION FOR WATER RIGHTS OF Applicant: In the ____________________________River or its Tributaries In ________________________________________ COUNTY COURT USE ONLY Attorney or Party Without Attorney (Name and Address): Case Number: Phone Number: FAX Number: E-mail: Atty. Reg. #: Division: Courtroom: APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION "Plan for augmentation" means a detailed program, which may be either temporary or perpetual in duration, to increase the supply of water available for beneficial use in a division or portion thereof by development of new or alternate means or points of diversion, by a pooling of water resources, by water exchange projects, by providing substitute supplies of water, by the development of new sources of water, or by any other appropriate means. "Plan for augmentation" does not include the salvage of tributary waters by the eradication of phreatophytes, nor does it include the use of tributary water collected from land surfaces that have been made impermeable, thereby increasing the runoff but not adding to the existing supply of tributary water. § 37-92-103(9), C.R.S. In reviewing a proposed plan for augmentation and in considering terms and conditions that may be necessary to avoid injury, the referee or the water judge shall consider the depletions from an applicant's use or proposed use of water, in quantity and in time, the amount and timing of augmentation water that would be provided by the applicant, and the existence, if any, of injury to any owner of or persons entitled to use water under a vested water right or a decreed conditional water right. A plan for augmentation shall be sufficient to permit the continuation of diversions when curtailment would otherwise be required to meet a valid senior call for water, to the extent that the applicant shall provide replacement water necessary to meet the lawful requirements of a senior diverter at the time and location and to the extent the senior would be deprived of his or her lawful entitlement by the applicant's diversion. A proposed plan for augmentation that relies upon a supply of augmentation water which, by contract or otherwise, is limited in duration shall not be denied solely upon the ground that the supply of augmentation water is limited in duration, so long as the terms and conditions of the plan prevent injury to vested water rights. Said terms and conditions shall require replacement of out-of-priority depletions that occur after any groundwater diversions cease. Decrees approving plans for augmentation shall require that the state engineer curtail all out-of-priority diversions, the depletions from which are not so replaced as to prevent injury to vested water rights. A plan for augmentation may provide procedures to allow additional or alternative sources of replacement water, including water leased on a yearly or less frequent basis, to be used in the plan after the initial decree is entered if the use of said additional or alternative sources is part of a substitute water supply plan approved pursuant to § 37-92-308, C.R.S., or if such sources are decreed for such use. § 37-92305(8), C.R.S. Generally, the statutes and case law require that injurious out-of-priority depletions must be replaced in time, location, quality and amount. It is the applicant's responsibility to provide the location for each structure in this application. For structures that are already decreed, use the location from the most recent decree that adjudicated the location. UTM coordinates (for example from a GPS device), or measured distances in the field from known section lines are acceptable. The Division Engineer, the Water Referee, or the Water Judge, may order the applicant to confirm the location of any structure with UTM coordinates, a survey, or other method.
