Pond Total Capacity: 1.23 acre feet total (0.73 acre feet, absolute; 0.5 acre feet conditional). Maximum Height of Dam/Berm(above existing ground surface): 7 feet. Length of Dam/Berm: 153 feet. Current surface area of pond: 0.21 acres. Maximum surface area of pond: 0.35 acres. Daybreak Pond #1. Legal Description: Located in the West 1/2 of Southwest 1/4, Section 36, Township 13S, Range 73W, of the 6th P.M., Park County, Colorado. Pond Total Capacity: 1.89 acre feet absolute. Maximum Height of Dam/Berm(above existing ground surface): 9.9 feet. Length of Dam/Berm: 204 feet. Maximum surface area of pond: 0.39 acres. A map attached as Exhibit A shows the location of the ponds. Source: All three ponds are located on the channel of Sims Creek, a tributary to the South Platte River. Appropriation: The appropriation date for all three ponds is April 13, 2015. The appropriation was initiated by the construction of the ponds. Water was diverted in priority and placed to beneficial use on July 10, 2015. List of All Proposed Uses: The use for all three ponds is riparian habitat, wildlife habitat, fish propagation, wetlands enhancement, erosion control, livestock watering and storage for these uses. All uses will be made on Applicant’s property. Applicant seeks a plan for augmentation to cover any out-of-priority diversions and evaporation associated with three ponds on the Applicant’s Property. Name of Structures to be Augmented: Daybreak Pond No. 3, Daybreak Pond No. 2, and Daybreak Pond No. 1 (collectively, “Daybreak Ponds”), as described above. Water Rights to be used for augmentation: The source of the augmentation water to replace any out of priority depletions from the beneficial uses adjudicated therein emanates from the Applicant’s contractual right in perpetuity to receive consumptive use water decreed for augmentation purposes in owned by the City of Aurora and stored in Spinney Mountain Reservoir in Park County. The Applicant’s contractual right to receive the replacement water to be used for augmentation derives from a portion of a total of 190 annual acre feet of consumptive use credits referenced in the April 26, 1982 agreement between the City of Aurora and High Chaparral, Inc., which agreement was recorded on July 21, 1982, in Book 342 at Page 341 of the Park County Recorder’s Office. The contractual right with the City of Aurora entitles Applicant to receive storage water from Spinney Mountain Reservoir, which can be used for augmentation and other purposes on the land owned by the Applicant. This water supply is a firm year round supply of augmentation water to be delivered by the City of Aurora on demand as required by the Applicant. The use of this water is free of costs or fees and all maintenance or storage fees. Such water will be made available by the City of Aurora regardless of the actual amount of water stored in Spinney Mountain Reservoir during any particular year. However, Applicant’s right to receive storage water from Spinney Mountain Reservoir is not cumulative from year to year. Statement of Plan for Augmentation: The total high surface area of the Daybreak Ponds is 1.02 acres total. In Case No. 96CW1038, District Court, Water Division 1, decreed on December 4, 2002, the Applicant’s predecessor obtained a plan for augmentation for several ponds located on Sims Creek. In that decree, the Court founds that the annual net evaporation rate of the ponds located on Sims Creek was 1.55 annual acre feet per acre of surface area exposed. Accordingly, the Daybreak Ponds will cause a maximum of 1.58 annual acre-feet of evaporative depletions to the South Platte River. Applicant may also seek to fill the ponds under this plan for augmentation as well. The Daybreak Ponds are currently located on-channel and may take an additional effective precipitation credit. Applicants will make releases of the augmentation water listed above to replace all out of priority depletions. Applicant owns the land on which the Daybreak Ponds are located. Applicant shall install and maintain such water measuring devices as deemed essential by the State Engineer or Division Engineer and the same shall be installed and operated in accordance with the instruction of that office. Water used to fill the ponds may be placed in lined or piped channels. Applicant may also line, cover or otherwise take all steps to reduce the loss of water stored in the reservoirs.

other things, identifies the planned location for the Flying J Pond; the location of the Flying J Ranch Well; the location of cisterns for domestic use of the Flying J Ranch Well System water right; the planned location for the swimming facilities; and for various other planned facilities (such as cabins, staff buildings, and other facilities for campers and staff) in or at which the water rights decreed in Case No. 2007CW0146 will be beneficially used. e. In 2011, Applicant began designing a water treatment system to supply the camps at the Flying J Ranch on a year-round basis. At present, the system is being designed to serve an existing staff lodge and to-be-constructed infirmary and retreat centers, and it will include a new water supply well, treatment building, and a storage tank. Applicant received approval of this new water treatment system from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment on March 14, 2017. Applicant is presently preparing its building permit application to Jefferson County for the water treatment system and the infirmary. f. Applicant planned and constructed the wastewater processing plant and collection pipes features identified in its Water Master Plan, beginning in 2013 and continuing through, and including, 2015 (with the facilities completed on or about June 2015) as part of the orderly development of the water rights decreed in Case No. 2007CW0146, as well as its integrated water supply system and infrastructure. g. Since October 15, 2009, and until the present, Applicant has continued to develop the camps at the Flying J Ranch, including constructing new staff and guest facilities (e.g., building tent platforms, meeting tents, a toilet building, a second bathhouse, open-air showers for staff, dining tent, and recreation facilities, including a basketball court and bouldering wall; renovation of a shower building; and expansion of the kitchen) and planning a therapeutic, residential outdoor program for young adults. Applicant has engaged the assistance of consultants, such as architects and water resource engineers, as necessary to bring water to these facilities. i. Since the Ramah Camp on the Flying J Ranch first opened following entry of the decree on October 15, 2009, the number of campers and staff has increased. As of the date of this application, the capacity of the camp is 200 campers and 110 staff. For most of the 2017 summer camp season, the camp was at capacity. ii. Applicant will hold its inaugural camping season for its newly planned Jewish camp on the Flying J Ranch in January 2018, with an estimated 8 campers and 12 staff. h. Since October 15, 2009, and until the present, Applicant and its consultants have held meetings with the local fire department to discuss fire protection water flow and fire management on the Flying J Ranch Property. The importance of effective fire flow and fire management was confirmed following an on-site fire in 2017. i. On November 30, 2016, Applicant applied for a supplemental well for the Flying J Ranch Well, as part of the Flying J Ranch Well System, which permit was issued on December 7, 2016, with Permit No. 80474-F. Applicant completed construction of this well on April 6, 2017, in the NW1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 28, Township 9 South, Range 71 West of the 6th P.M., Jefferson County, Colorado, at a point that is 1,358 feet from the North section line and 651 feet from the West section line and that has the following UTM coordinates (based on UTM Zone 13 and datum NAD83): Easting 469999; and Northing: 4343367. Because the well drilled pursuant to Permit No. 80474-F was completed more than 100 feet from Wigwam Creek, this well is not part of the Flying J Ranch Well System. Applicant’s present intent is to convert this well to a monitoring well instead. j. On August 1, 2017, Applicant applied for another supplemental well for the Flying J Ranch Well, as part of the Flying J Ranch Well System, which permit was issued on September 7, 2017, with permit no. 81320-F. Applicant completed construction of this well on October 3, 2017, at a point located within 100 feet of Wigwam Creek, as more particularly described in paragraph 2.e. above. k. Applicant and its consultant performed a reconnaissance survey of the location for the Flying J Pond on May 9, 2017. l. Since October 15, 2009, and until the present, Applicant has expended no less than $4,955,279 on capital expenses, major projects, and water consultants to develop the camps at the Flying J Ranch, including the water rights and related facilities and infrastructure. m. Annual accounting of water use has been provided on a regular basis to Mountain Mutual Reservoir Company and North Fork Associates, LLC, who has reported the use to the Division Engineer. 5. Names and Addresses of Owners or Reputed Owners of the Land Upon Which Any New Diversion Structure 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.

The work done and costs incurred set forth below are illustrative and not exhaustive and Thornton reserves the right to present evidence of additional activities and costs in support of this application. 4.1. Thornton Integrated System Activities: During the diligence period, Thornton has continued in the development and improvement of its Clear Creek and South Platte River water supply system including many of the structures used in the exercise of the Subject Water Rights. The Thornton Ponds water rights and Thornton Pond Exchanges are components of the integrated water supply system that Thornton operates to provide itself and its customers with water for municipal purposes. The Thornton Ponds water rights and Thornton Pond Exchanges are operated in conjunction with, and are integrated with other structures owned by Thornton. Costs incurred by Thornton during the diligence period totaled approximately $1.289 million dollars, and include the following work: 4.1.1. 08CW82 Measuring Facilities: Thornton designed and constructed stilling wells and water level recording facilities at 16 of the Thornton Ponds throughout the City. The ability to measure water levels and inflows is a requirement of Decree entered in Case No. 08CW82 and of the State Engineer. The project included the construction of two flumes at the inflows to Aylor Ponds and Hunters Glen Reservoir. Stilling wells were installed at Civic Center Lake, Eastlake Reservoir No.3, Grandview Ponds, Grange Creek Park Pond, Recreation Center Pond, Aylor Ponds, and Hunter Glen Lake. Expenditures on this project were approximately $402,000. 4.1.2. Material Expenses for Thornton Ponds: Thornton regularly maintains and repairs the facilities at the Thornton Ponds. This includes purchasing items like filters, valves, electrical supplies, treatment supplies and other parts. Thornton spent over $23,000 on these parts. 4.1.3. Marshall Lakes Aeration: Thornton purchased and installed an aeration system at Marshall Lake to improve water quality. This project was approximately $15,000. 4.1.4. 08CW82 LIRF Re-computation Requirement: the Decree entered in Case No. 08CW82 requires the City to re-compute, every five years, the deep percolation percentages for each of its city parks and the golf course for which the City is claiming LIRFs under the Decree. The City performed this re-computation and filed a report and revised accounting forms with the Court and served the same on the Division Engineer and objectors during the diligence period at a cost of approximately $20,000. 4.1.5. Water Court: Thornton has actively participated in water court proceedings to protect the Subject Water Right decreed in Case No. 08CW82. Legal and engineering costs incurred relating to the protection of Thornton’s Clear Creek and South Platte River water rights portfolio, including the Subject Water Rights during the diligence period were approximately $829,000. 5. If claim to make absolute: Thornton has exercised the Thornton Ponds water rights in-priority during the diligence period. 5.1. Description of place where water was applied to beneficial use. All water applied to beneficial use under the decree in Case No. 08CW82 was used within Thornton’s water service area. 5.2.

Reservoir: The reservoir formed by the Chatfield Dam, an existing structure located on the mainstem of the South Platte River; the right abutment of which is located in Douglas County, Colorado, in Sections 6 and 7, Township 6 South, Range 68 West, of the 6th P.M. and the left abutment of which is located in Jefferson County, Colorado, in Section 1, Township 6 South, Range 69 West, of the 6th P.M. D. Source: The South Platte River and tributaries. E. Appropriation date: August 24, 1984. F. Amount: 4,100 acre-feet, CONDITIONAL, of the 26,400 acre feet per year decreed in Case No. 83CW184. G. Use: Augmentation, replacement, exchange, irrigation, commercial, industrial, recreation, municipal, domestic and all other beneficial uses. H. Depth (if well): Not applicable. 4. Detailed outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of the appropriation and application of water to beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures, during the diligence period: Centennial acquired the subject conditional water right from the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District and Groundwater Management Subdistrict of the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District by special warranty deed dated May 15, 2005 and recorded May 19, 2005 in the Douglas County real property records at Reception No. 2005044600. During the diligence period, Centennial has taken the following actions toward completion of the subject conditional water right: A. The subject conditional water right and its associated structures and sources are part of the unified water supply system for Highlands Ranch. Highlands Ranch is a development consisting of approximately 22,000 acres in Douglas County, including the community of Highlands Ranch. Centennial is responsible for providing a municipal water supply to Highlands Ranch. B. Centennial continued to engage in efforts to obtain the reallocation of storage space in Chatfield Reservoir from flood control to multipurpose use, including municipal storage (“Chatfield Reallocation Project” or “Project”), and to secure a permanent right to store water in Chatfield Reservoir, including water available to the subject water right. In April 2012, Centennial increased the size of its storage space allocation through the acquisition of the redistributed allocation of the City of Brighton, bringing Centennial’s storage space allocation in Chatfield Reservoir to 6,922 acre feet, including its allocation through its participation in the South Metropolitan Water Supply Authority. This is approximately 34% of the 20,600 acre feet of reallocated storage space that is part of the Chatfield Reallocation Project. The final draft of the feasibility report and environmental impact statement for the Project was issued in June 2012 and the Chatfield Reallocation Project Final Integrated Feasibility Report and Environmental Impact Statement was issued in July 2013. The State of Colorado Fish and Wildlife Mitigation plan for the Project was approved in January 2014. The Record of Decision affirming the Chatfield Reallocation Project as the preferred alternative and authorizing the reallocation of 20,600 acre feet of storage space in Chatfield Reservoir from flood control use to multipurpose use, including municipal storage, was issued on May 29, 2014. The Department of the Army and the Colorado Department of Natural Resources (“CDNR”) entered into a Water Storage Agreement for the Chatfield Reallocation Project on October 9, 2014. On October 16, 2015, Centennial entered into a Water Provider Agreement with CDNR for the permanent right to use 6,922 acre feet of reallocated storage space in Chatfield Reservoir. In connection with the Water Provider Agreement, Centennial deposited $4,502,657 in cash and $44,440,000 in Colorado Water Conservation Board loan proceeds, for a total of $48,942,657, into an escrow account to cover its pro rata share of estimated future payments to complete the mitigation obligations for the project. Centennial staff and consultants participated in all aspects of the process to obtain the required approvals for the Chatfield Reallocation Project, including the negotiation of the various agreements described above and the creation of the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company described in paragraph 4.C below. C. The Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company (“CRMC”) was formed by Project participants on October 8, 2015, for the purpose of conducting such business as may be necessary to satisfy the mitigation obligations of the participants as required for implementation of the approved Chatfield Reallocation Project. On October 15, 2015, Centennial entered into the Chatfield Reservoir Management Agreement with CDNR, the other project participants and the City and County of Denver, acting by and through its Board of Water Commissioners, which provides for various management and operational terms and conditions for use of the reallocated storage space authorized by the Project.

Stephen H. Leonhardt, Esq., Morgan L. Figuers, Esq., Melissa L. Magee, Esq.; BURNS, FIGA & WILL, P.C.; 6400 South Fiddler’s Green Circle, Suite 1000, Greenwood Village, CO 80111; (303) 796-2626. APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHT AND PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION INCLUDING EXCHANGE IN JEFFERSON COUNTY. 2. Purpose of Application: Coors Brewing Company (“Coors” or “Applicant”) is a Colorado corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Molson Coors Brewing Co., which owns and operates a large industrial complex near the City of Golden, Colorado. In supplying water to that complex, Coors diverts water from Clear Creek, by means of the Coors Industries Ditch for direct use, for storage in its Jefferson Storage System, and from the alluvium tributary to Clear Creek through the Coors Underground Springs. In order to make essentially continuous diversions from Clear Creek and its tributary alluvium, Coors replaces out-of-priority depletions to Clear Creek and the South Platte River which result from Coors’ beneficial use of water diverted under the junior water rights decreed to those structures. Presently the provision of augmenting supplies to replace such depletions from out-of-priority diversions through those structures is made through operations under

Decrees approving plans for augmentation including exchanges and changes of water rights in Consolidated Cases Nos. W-8036(75) and W-8256(76) (commonly referred to as the “Coors Augmentation I Plan”); Case No. 89CW234 (the “Coors Augmentation II Plan”); Case No. 99CW236 (the “Coors Augmentation III Plan”); and as applicable, in accordance with terms and conditions of the Decrees entered in Cases Nos. 88CW268 and 88CW272 (the “Cosmic Exchange”) and Cases Nos. 90CW64, 91CW122 and 96CW1117. Coors seeks approval to change an additional water right that Coors owns and has the right to use, the Miles and Eskins Ditch right, for the incorporation and utilization of these rights into a supplemental integrated plan for augmentation including exchange and changes of water rights. This plan will be referred to as the “Coors Augmentation IV Plan.” The Application does not waive any rights or priorities created by the Coors Augmentation I, the Coors Augmentation II, or the Coors Augmentation III Plans. 3. Jurisdiction: The Water Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this application pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 37-92-203 and 37-92-302. Change of Water Right. 4. Decreed water right for which change is sought: 3.61 cfs of the Miles and Eskins Ditch water right. 4.1. Name of structure: Miles and Eskins Ditch. 4.2. Date and description of original and all relevant subsequent decrees: 4.2.1. The Miles and Eskins Ditch water right was originally decreed in the District Court of the Second Judicial District of the State of Colorado, Sitting in and for Arapahoe County, “Matter of a Certain Petition for Adjudication of the Priority of Rights to the Use of Water for Irrigation in Water District No. Seven (7) in Said State,” entered October 4, 1884 (“1884 Decree”) as Priority No. 15 on Clear Creek, with an appropriation date of June 11, 1861. The amount of water originally decreed to the Miles and Eskins Ditch was 4.0 cfs for irrigation purposes. 4.2.2. There have been two decreed changes in point of diversion for the Miles and Eskins Ditch water right: 4.2.2.1. In Case No. 50043, District Court, City and County of Denver, Second Judicial District, January 3, 1911, 0.39 cfs of the water right belonging to William Lee was transferred from the headgate of the Miles and Eskins Ditch to the headgate of the Agricultural Ditch. This change left 3.61 cfs at the original point of diversion of the Miles and Eskins Ditch. 4.2.2.2. The point of diversion for the remaining 3.61 cfs of the Miles and Eskins Ditch water right, which is the subject of this Application, was changed to the headgate of the Rocky Mountain Ditch in Case No. W-7435 (Water Div. 1), January 24, 1977. 4.2.2.3. The location of the point of diversion at the Rocky Mountain Ditch is shown on the map attached as Figure 1. 4.2.3. Legal description of structure as described in most recent decree that adjudicated the location: The presently decreed point of diversion is the headgate of the Rocky Mountain Ditch located on the south side of the Croke Dam being in the NE1/4 NE1/4 NW1/4 of Section 26, T3S, R70W, of the 6th P.M., more specifically described as bearing S18°12’25”W a distance of 401.11’ from the north quarter corner of Section 26, pursuant to the W-7435 Decree. The UTM coordinates of the Rocky Mountain Ditch headgate are UTM X 483376 and UTM Y 4402024 (1). (1) Applicant obtained all UTM coordinates and WDID numbers described in this Application from the HydroBase database found at http://cdss.state.co.us/OnlineTools/Pages/ StructuresDiversions.aspx. The UTM coordinates are included in this Application at the request of the Division Engineer to facilitate administration. In the event that any UTM coordinates or WDID numbers are inaccurate, it shall not affect the rights to be adjudicated through this Application. The Rocky Mountain Ditch WDID is 0700652. 4.2.4. Decreed source of water: Clear Creek. 4.2.5. Appropriation dates and decreed amount: June 11, 1861; 4.0 cfs. The Miles and Eskins Ditch right was adjudicated as irrigation priority number 15 on Clear Creek. (The appropriation date of Clear Creek Priority No. 1 was February 25, 1860.) Because the 1884 Decree was the original adjudication of irrigation water rights in District 7, the relative priorities of the water rights decreed therein and in other original adjudications in the South Platte River basin are determined by their appropriation dates. 4.2.6. Decreed uses: Irrigation. 4.2.7. Amount of water that Applicant intends to change: Coors’s 3.61 cfs. Coors owns the 3.61 cfs of the Miles and Eskins Ditch right that was changed in Case No. W-7435, as described in paragraph 4.2.2.2. above. Coors does not own and does not seek to change the 0.39 cfs that was changed in Case No. 50043, as described in paragraph 4.2.2.1. above. 5. Detailed description of proposed change: Coors seeks to change its 3.61 cfs of the Miles and Eskins Ditch right to allow for augmentation use, exchange, and storage, for the proposed uses listed below, in addition to the currently decreed irrigation use. 5.1. Historical Use: The Miles and Eskins water right has been used for irrigation of lands in accordance with

its decreed rights, including the Applewood Golf Course, as provided in the Decree in Case No. W-7435. The Applewood Golf Course is generally located in the NW1/4 of NE1/4 of Section 30, the SW1/4 of NE1/4 of Section 30, the SE1/4 of NW1/4 of Section 30, and the NE1/4 of NW1/4 of Section 30, all in T3S, R69W, as shown on Figure 1. 5.2. Diversion Records: A summary of historical diversion records for the Miles and Eskins Ditch right is attached as Exhibit 1. 5.3. Historical Consumptive Use: The Miles and Eskins Ditch right historically irrigated lands south and east of the original Miles and Eskins headgate location. These lands were later developed into the Applewood Golf Course, which continued to be irrigated with the Miles and Eskins Ditch right. Coors acquired the 3.61 cfs of the Miles and Eskins Ditch right in 1966 and 1968 and leased it to the Applewood Golf Course for irrigation. Coors continued to divert this water through the Miles and Eskins Ditch headgate, and then through the Rocky Mountain Ditch headgate pursuant to Case No. W-7435, and has continued to lease this water for irrigation on the Applewood Golf Course. Coors’s engineering consultant estimates that from 1974–2016, historical consumptive use averaged 164.3 af/yr. 5.4. Proposed Uses: Coors seeks to change the uses of the Miles and Eskins right to include agricultural, commercial, and mechanical purposes, including drinking water, sanitation, fire protection, cooling, manufacturing and normal urban usage, exchange, storage in the Jefferson Storage System and in ponds on the Applewood Golf Course, and augmentation use, including the rights of reuse, successive use and disposition of the fully-consumable augmented diversions of water made pursuant to the plan for augmentation described below. Use and reuse will occur primarily at the Coors Industrial Complex in the Clear Creek Basin near Golden, Colorado, consisting of lands owned by Coors, its parent company (Molson Coors Brewing Co.), and affiliated entities including MillerCoors LLC, and generally located in Sections 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27, all in T3S R70W of the 6th P.M., and Sections 19 and 29, T3S R69W of the 6th P.M., as shown on Figure 1. Use, successive use and disposition may occur at locations downstream on Clear Creek and the South Platte River, in Jefferson, Denver, Adams or Weld County, pursuant to lease by Coors and separate decree or administrative approval. These uses are collectively referred to as the “changed uses” throughout the Application. Coors may also continue to use the Miles and Eskins Ditch right for irrigation on the Applewood Golf Course, as provided in the Decree in Case No. W-7435 (Water Div. 1). Coors intends to continue diverting the changed Miles and Eskins water rights at the Rocky Mountain Ditch headgate (the currently decreed location) for the changed uses and for continued irrigation. 5.5. Proposed terms and conditions: 5.5.1. Coors’s use will not exceed the historical consumptive use of its 3.61 cfs of Miles and Eskins Ditch water right. 5.5.2. Coors will divert the Miles and Eskins Ditch right for the changed uses from March 1 through October 31. 5.5.3. Coors will replace the historical return flows from the decreed irrigation use of the Miles and Eskins Ditch water rights at locations appropriate to prevent injury, as described in paragraphs 9.22., 12 and 13. The sources of return flow replacement include the Miles and Eskins Ditch right, releases from water stored in the Jefferson Storage System as described in paragraph 9, and other sources owned by Coors that are reusable pursuant to other decrees. 5.6. No injury. The changes sought in this Application will not cause injury to other water rights. 5.7. Accounting and Operations: Coors will maintain accounting that will be submitted on a monthly basis to the Water Commissioner and the Division 1 office. Plan for Augmentation. 6. Statement of Plan for Augmentation: Coors seeks judicial approval of this augmentation plan (Coors Augmentation Plan IV), which is to be integrated with and supplemental to the Coors Augmentation I, II, and III Plans, to allow Coors to make essentially continuous diversions from Clear Creek and its tributary alluvium under its junior water rights. Whenever a call is made to increase stream flow for the benefit of senior water rights Coors, while operating under this Decree, shall either reduce its junior diversions to the extent those diversions reduce the availability of water to such senior water rights or provide replacement flows of water in substitution for its out-of-priority depletions to Clear Creek and the South Platte River that result from Coors’s diversion, storage, and beneficial use of water diverted by its augmented structures. The replacement flows Coors proposes to provide in this Augmentation Plan IV will be supplied from the senior water rights Coors owns as described in paragraph 4 above, in the manner hereinafter described. The Coors Augmentation IV Plan is set forth as follows: 7. Water Rights and Structures to be Augmented: Coors will augment out-of-priority depletions resulting from the diversion and beneficial use of water from the

Water Treatment Plant Backwash: At a point on the South bank of Clear Creek in Sec. 24, T3S, R70W, of the 6th P.M., in Jefferson County, Colorado, more particularly described as lying N 23°24'49" W, 1112.61 feet from the SE corner of said Sec. 24. (Totalizing flow meter). 13.2. To the South Platte River. The outfall of the Metropolitan Denver Sewage Disposal plant on the East Bank of the South Platte River, in Sec. 1, T3S, R68W, of the 6th P.M., approximately 6700 feet upstream from the confluence of Clear Creek and the South Platte River. 14. Measurements and calculations of return flow. Because Coors not only measures the rate of flow of its diversions, but also the rate of return flow from its uses, the amount of the depletions resulting from those uses can be identified continuously and with a reasonable degree of accuracy by simply subtracting the measured return flows from the measured diversions; the remainder becomes the measure of the amount of depletion, if any, Coors must replace to avoid injury to such water rights as would otherwise be entitled to the water Coors stores or consumes. 15. Operation and Administration of Plan for Augmentation: 15.1. Operational Plan: Whenever Coors receives notice of a call for water for the benefit of a senior water right, Coors, if it elects not to reduce its junior diversions, shall replace its out-of-priority depletions. Coors shall provide such replacement flows in substitution for its out-of-priority depletions at a rate of flow to be determined pursuant to this augmentation plan and at a location or locations on Clear Creek or the South Platte River, or both, upstream from the senior water right for which the call shall have been made. Once Coors provides sufficient replacement water to the stream to fully replace depletions from its out-of-priority

Use: Irrigation at the Georgetown Loop Railroad Visitor’s Center, drinking and sanitation at the Georgetown Loop Railroad Visitor’s Center, including storage for such uses. E. Appropriation date: November 30, 2017 F. Remarks: Applicant originally obtained a water right for the Georgetown Loop Railroad Well when anticipated operations of the Georgetown Loop Railroad were on a daily basis from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and weekends only during the periods May 1 through Memorial Day and Labor Day through October 31. Applicant now seeks to operate the Georgetown Loop Railroad on a year round basis and therefore to use the Georgetown Loop Railroad Well on a year round basis. This water right may be used by direct diversion or after storage in the GLRR Cistern or the Lebanon Mill Reservoir. The uses claimed herein are the same uses as previously decreed to this structure, this right is for use of the well outside of the previously decreed season. SECOND CLAIM – Change of Water Storage Right 3. Decreed name of water right for which change is sought: Lebanon Mine Reservoir A. Previous decree: i. Case No. 06CW37 a. Location: On channel reservoir in the SW1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 18, Township 4 South, Range 74 West of the 6th P.M. From the headgate on the dam the Southwest corner of Section eighteen (18) Township four (4) South of Range seventy-four (74) West of the Sixth (6th) Principal Meridian bears South seventy-four degrees twenty-six minutes (74° 26’) West three thousand five hundred thirty-nine and nine-tenths (3539.9) feet.

Uses: Storage right for restoration of historical appearances, energy generation, renovation of Lebanon Mill and Dam historical structures, along with water wheel, dam and mill to recreate operations at the Lebanon Mine site as an exhibit associated with the Georgetown Loop Railroad, augmentation, and fish and wildlife habitat. Energy generation use will be on site, by releasing a portion of the water from storage via a head gate located on the dam and conveyed down a chute to turn a hydroelectric turbine. Water used for energy generation will be returned to Clear Creek. Augmentation use shall be limited to replacing out of priority depletions resulting from the use of no more than two wells associated with the Georgetown Loop Railroad at or near the Lebanon Mine Reservoir and the Devil’s Gate Visitor’s Center, and in such event shall not be used for augmentation unless pursuant to a court approved augmentation plan or substitute water supply plan approved by the State Engineer. e. Amount: 1.65 acre-feet conditional, with right to continuous fill and refill up to 3.3 acre-feet annually, total B. Proposed Change: Applicant seeks to (1) add an alternate place of storage in the GLRR Cistern, to be in the located NE1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 18, Township 4 South, Range 74 West of the 6th P.M., Clear Creek County, Colorado, and (2) to add additional uses for domestic and sanitary uses at the Georgetown Loop Railroad Visitor’s Center. The point of diversion for the GLRR Cistern will be at a point approximately 2,130 feet downstream of the decreed location for Lebanon Mill Reservoir. The applicant also intends to divert the changed water right into the GLRR Cistern for augmentation purposes. The water storage right can be used for augmentation of out of priority depletions resulting from the use of no more than two wells associated with the Georgetown Loop Railroad, and such use may occur year round. C. Remarks: Total storage between the Lebanon Mill Reservoir and GLRR Cistern under the water storage right decreed in Case No. 06CW37 will not exceed 1.65 acre-feet, with right to continuous fill and refill up to 3.3 acre-feet annually.

e. Amount applicant intends to change in this case: one inch ii. First Change decree: Case No. W-8036(75) & W-8256(76) a. Amount changed: 126 inches b. Use: irrigation and augmentation c. Decree entered: April 15, 1977 iii. Change decree: Case No. 84CW166 a. Amount Changed: One Inch b. Decree Entered: August 31, 1989 c. Details: Applicant’s one inch of Church Ditch water was changed to allow for augmentation of depletions caused by pumping at the Georgetown Loop Railroad Well. Diversion limits decreed in Case No. 84CW166 were dictated by the decree in consolidated Case No. W-8036(75) and W-8256(76). The 84CW166 decree established a yield of 1.47 acre-feet annual from Applicant’s one inch to replace out of priority deletions from use of the well. The 84CW166 decree reflects that the changed Church Ditch inch will be used as an augmentation source for depletions arising out of use of the Georgetown Loop Railroad Well on a daily basis from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and weekends only during the periods May 1 through Memorial Day and Labor Day through October 31. The 84CW166 decree established that the maximum annual replacement credit attributable to Applicant’s one inch is 1.8 acre-feet and the maximum replacement credit for 20 years is 25.23 acre-feet. iv. Change decree: Consolidated Case Nos. 91CW68 and 91CW69 a. Amount Changed: One Inch b. Decree Entered: August 18, 2006 c. Details: Applicant’s one inch of the Church Ditch water right was changed to allow the water to be stored to augment depletions associated with the withdrawal of ground water by the Lebanon Mine Well and the Georgetown Loop Railroad Well, was changed to augment depletions associated with the Lebanon Mine Well, and was changed to augment depletions from the Georgetown Loop Railroad Well use for irrigation. The decree reflects that storage for such augmentation would be in Idaho Springs Reservoir. The decree limited the yield of Applicant’s one inch from 1.47 acre-feet per year to 1.25 acre-feet per year of augmentation water based on the following schedule:

MONTH AF

April 0.018

May 0.264

June 0.467

July 0.340

August 0.135

September 0.018

October 0.009

TOTAL 1.250

d. The decree allows Applicant to store water available from its one inch in excess of augmentation requirements in May, June, and July for later release to replace augmentation obligations in July, August, and September. B. Previous Historical Consumptive Use Quantification: Applicant’s one inch in the Church Ditch was previously changed and an historical consumptive use analysis was conducted in Consolidated Case Nos. W-8036(75) & W-8256(76), therefore, no historical consumptive use analysis is required for this change pursuant to § 37-92-305(3)(e), C.R.S. (2017). C. Detailed description of Proposed Change: i. Applicant seeks to change its one inch of the Church Ditch water right to add use of augmentation of depletions arising from diversions of the Georgetown Loop Railroad Well, whether the senior or junior priority, any time of the year, and storage prior to such use in Idaho Springs Reservoir, the GLRR Cistern, or Lebanon Mill Reservoir any time during the Church Ditch operating season, and year round augmentation after storage in Idaho Springs Reservoir, the GLRR Cistern, or Lebanon Mill Reservoir. Applicant also seeks to add the use of drinking and sanitary use at the Georgetown Loop

Railroad Visitor’s Center either directly or after storage. These are year round uses, however the applicant’s direct use, storage, and exchange of the Church Ditch inch will continue to be restricted by the season of use of the Church Ditch. ii. The Church Ditch inch was decreed to be used as the augmentation supply to replace depletions from the Georgetown Loop Railroad Well pursuant to the terms and conditions in the decree in Case No. 84CW166. Such use was changed in consolidated Case Nos. 91CW68 and 69 to allow for storage prior to augmentation and to add augmentation to replace depletions from the Lebanon Mill Well. In addition, the Church Ditch inch is decreed as the substitute supply for appropriative rights of exchange decreed in Case No. 13CW3161 to support the augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 84CW166 and consolidated Case Nos. 91CW68 and 69, which restrict use of the Church Ditch inch to Memorial Day through Labor Day, and weekends only during the periods May 1 through Memorial Day and Labor Day through October 31. Applicant desires to have the ability to operate outside of the time frame referenced in the decrees in Case No. 84CW166 and 91CW68 and 69, and desires to have a plan of augmentation that can operate year-round as an alternate plan to the augmentation plan decreed in Case Nos. 84CW166 and 91CW68 and 69. In order to operate all year, Applicant is seeking the augmentation plan and water rights claimed herein. D. Remarks: Applicant will maintain return flows associated with the changed one inch in Church Ditch as required by the decree in Case Nos. 8036(75) & W-8256(76).

Provide a 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: Pursuant to the Decree issued in Case No. 90CW222, the subject water rights are part of Englewood’s overall water system, and diligence on any part of that system will be considered diligence as to the subject conditional water rights. The existence of these water rights is necessary in order to allow Englewood to plan for growth and to maintain flexibility and reliability in its water supply system. During the diligence period of November 2011 to November 2017, in continuing the development of the subject water rights, Englewood has undertaken significant efforts on various components of its unified water system. Activities that have been performed toward completion of the appropriation and application of the subject water rights to beneficial use are described below. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. A. Englewood expended over $400,000.00 on various water diversion, measurement, and distribution system improvements. These include improvements to various ditches, wells, pumps, pipes, flumes, and gulches, including expenditures of more than $100,000.00 to improve the City Ditch by replacing the pipe inlet and screen on City Ditch at two locations, installing a Mariposa headgate on the City Ditch, and designing and installing a release point at Big Dry Creek from City Ditch. B. Englewood expended over $200,000.00 in connection with improvements to McLellan Reservoir and associated facilities including the toe drain, pump station, feed line and distribution main. C. Englewood expended $10,619.35 in 2014 on an asset management program license. D. Englewood expended $1,214,830.00 on a roof rehabilitation project for its 3 million gallon overhead storage tanks and maintenance for the tanks, as well as maintenance on the Solar Bee mixing units for the Belisle Reservoir. E. Englewood expended $43,996.00 to remove trees that interfered with the Englewood water system. F. Englewood expended $488,569.00 replacing the roof on the Allen Water Treatment Plant. G. Englewood expended $4,000.00 repairing the Little Dry Creek siphon. H. Englewood engaged water resource engineers to protect and enhance Englewood’s water rights and participated in numerous Water Court cases to protect the quality and quantity of the water rights decreed in Case No. 90CW222 and its other water rights, from injury by other parties. Englewood filed diligence applications on other conditional decrees which are part of its integrated system. WHEREFORE, Englewood respectfully requests that this Court enter Findings of Fact and a Decree of Reasonable Diligence for 20 cfs of the Big Dry Creek water right, 15 cfs of the Little Dry Creek water right, and 34.79 cfs of the City Ditch Manifold at Chatfield Reservoir water right.

Worley Law Office LLC, 611 North Weber Street, Suite 104, Colorado Springs, CO 80903, email [email protected]); phone 719.634.8330,Amended Application for Plan for Augmentation IN EL PASO COUNTY. The name, address, telephone number of applicants: James Krehbiel and Tammy Krehbiel, P.O. Box 2593, Monument, CO 80132, e-mail [email protected], phone no. 719.332.3797. 1. Legal description of property: Applicants’ property consists of two contiguous lots located in the NW1/4 Section 15, T. 11 S., R. 67 W., 6th P.M. in El Paso County. The addresses of the two lots are: (1) 18302 Faulkner Street, the legal description of which is “Lot 2 Fontenelle Subdivision No. 2, except parcel by order and decree CV#66671, signed October 29, 1971,” and (2) an unassigned address on Peak View Boulevard, the legal description of which is “that part of Lot 2 Fontenelle Subdivision No. 2 by order and decree CV#66671, signed October 29, 1971" (the “Property”). The two parcels total 5.79 acres in size. A map of the Property was attached to the original application. 2. Statement of amended plan for augmentation. Under the amended plan for augmentation, Applicants seek to pump up to 1.791 acre feet annually from the not nontributary Denver aquifer for 110 years. They anticipate allocating 0.425 acre foot annually for each of two residential lots, and 0.941 acre foot annually for a lot on which a combination residence/bed and breakfast will be located. At the end of 110 years, Applicants’ successors shall be required to construct one or more nontributary Arapahoe aquifer wells on the Property, which must pump at least 0.016 acre foot initially to replace post-pumping depletions caused by pumping the Denver aquifer, and will be allowed to continue pumping of up to 1.791 acre feet of Arapahoe aquifer annually for the remaining 190 year of El Paso County’s 300 year water supply rule. In that case, septic system return flows form the Arapahoe aquifer pumping shall be sufficient to replace depletions for at least 300 years after commencement of pumping the Denver aquifer water. At the end of 300 years, Applicants’ successors shall discontinue use of the Arapahoe aquifer for all uses except for replacement of Denver aquifer post-pumping depletions, and shall pump such Arapahoe aquifer water until the amount of decreed Arapahoe aquifer water has been pumped, or until the Arapahoe aquifer is depleted, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, Applicants’ successor shall be required to construct a well in the nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer, and to replace continuing post-pumping depletions caused by pumping the not nontributary Denver aquifer, until such time as the obligation to do so is terminated. All the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer water shall be dedicated for that purpose, unless Applicants request that such post-pumping depletions may be replaced with any other judicially acceptable source of augmentation water, upon judicial approval after appropriate notice, and that request is granted. Water in the Denver and Arapahoe aquifers shall be approved for all beneficial uses except municipal uses; water in the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer shall be decreed for augmentation purposes. WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED OR HERETOFORE ADJUDICATED THE WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED BY THESE APPLICATIONS MAY AFFECT IN PRIORITY ANY WITHIN THIS DIVISION AND OWNERS OF AFFECTED RIGHTS MUST APPEAR TO OBJECT WITHIN THE TIME PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR BE FOREVER BARRED.
