AUTHORIZATION AND SCOPE
Western Engineers, Inc. was asked by Mr. Anthony Williams, Attorney for the
Rifle Village South Metropolitan District, to prepare an augmentation plan for
expansion of services by the District. The plan encompasses existing and
future taps which are not currently served under an existing augmentation
plan. This report includes an overview of the current water supply, the w:er
rights associated with it and a summary of the water rights that will augment
that supply. An assessment of the reliability of all rights concerned, a
detailed augmentation plan and a statement of our conclusions are also
provided.

INTRODUCTION
The Rifle Village South Metropolitan District (RVSMD) is located south of and
across the Colorado River from the Town of Rifle (Plate 1). The RVSMD has
purchased water from West Divide Water Conservancy District to serve
approximately 703 taps (about 2,400 persons). West Divide will release water
into the Colorado River during periods when the RVSMD's water supply might
otherwise be out of priority. Currently, the primary source of the water
supply is the Anderson Well No. 2 which is located near the western boundary
of the District (Plate 1). A portion of their water supply is also derived
from a spring tributary to the Anderson Interception Ditch. For this analysis
only the well will be considered. The source is tributary to the Colorado
River. The water has historically been used for domestic purposes and
irrigation. Water from the well is pumped through a filtration plant and into
storage tanks that currently have a combined capacity of 26,000 gallons.
Users are then supplied from the tanks.
Wastewater from domestic use is collected below ground in sewers and
transported to a treatment plant. Historically lawn and garden wastewater has
re-entered the system via subsurface flow. The treatment plant (NPDES Permit
No. CO -0030970) consists of two lined aeration ponds and one unlined settling
pond. Water entering the system travels through both aeration ponds before
entering the settling pond. Once the water enters the settling pond it will
either exfiltrate or, if the flow is sufficient, it will be chlorinated and
released. The treatment plant has no storage capabilities and it is designed
for a capacity of 0.123 million gallons per day (225 taps). All water from
the plant (except evaporation) returns to the Colorado River drainage, and to
date most return flow has occurred by exfiltration from the unlined pond.
The additional taps serviced by the RVSMD will use existing water sources and
treatment facilities, until the design capacity of the plant is reached, at
which time it will be enlarged.

WATER SUPPLY
Water Rights to be Augmented
The water right that is to be augmented is the Anderson Well No. 2 (Table 1)
which is the primary water supply for the RVSMD Decrees for the well can be
found in Appendix A. No official diversion records are kept for Anderson Well
No. 2, but it does have an absolute decree for 1.0 cubic feet per second (cfs)
which is about 449 gpm. A pump test done on a test well drilled just upstream
of the Anderson Well (in similar geologic material) showed a probable yield of
about 200 gpm. The test was done by Willard Owens, Assoc. Inc., of Denver in
1982. Assuming similar aquifer characteristics for the two wells, Anderson
Well No. 2 can be expected to provide about 288,000 gallons per day when it is
in priority.
The well is decreed for domestic use, irrigation and all other beneficial
uses and it has historically been applied to such uses. The RVSMD plans to
continue to use it as their primary water supply.
Water to be Used for Augmentation
The water to be used for augmentation will be purchased from the West Divide
Water Conservancy District. Under an agreement signed in December of 1982 the
RVSMD may use water from the Ruedi Reservoir or from another suitable facility
in the West Divide Project (see Appendix B). The District will be allowed to
use 25.0 cfs of West Divide's direct flow rights, and in the event this amount
is not available to them, up to 25.0 acre-feet will be released from West
Divide's share of Ruedi Reservoir storage (or other suitable West Divide
Storage Facility. These releases will be subject to request by the RVSMD and
they will be used to replace water taken out of priority by the Anderson Well
No. 2 should the need arise.

FUTURE DIVERSIONS AND CONSUMPTIVE USE
The RVSMD plans to supply augmentation water for about 703 taps. Table 2
provides a summary of future water demands and depletions. Data in Table 2
were assembled from water -use figures recorded by the RVSMD and Appendix C
presents a summary of these figures. The taps used in the demand analysis
(Appendix C) were selected on the basis of mechanical reliability and because
they were included in a census taken by the RVSMD during 1982. The data in
Appendix C shows that daily per tap water use during the winter months
(October through March) ranges from 117 to 298 gallons. Summer domestic water
use records for one residence with irrigation water not supplied by the RVSMD,
showed an increase of about 25% in domestic daily per capita water use over
winter demand (See Appendix C). This summer season increase was assumed to
apply for all future taps. For the purposes of the analysis, winter (October
through March) in-house demand per tap was assumed to be 250 gallons while
summer (April through September) in-house demand was assumed to be 320 gallons
per tap. Domestic depletions were calculated assuming a 10% loss year round,
which includes pipe system loss and pond evaporation.
During periods when the Anderson Well is out -of -priority, the RVSMD plans to
supply water for in-house use only. Strict covenants for all water users
being supplied by the District, will preclude any water use other than
domestic during periods when a call is placed on the Anderson Well No. 2 (See
Appendix D). Water from the West Divide Project will be used to augment
out -of -priority diversions by exchanging it for the Anderson Well No. 2
withdrawals. The source (direct flow or storage) of this exchange water is at
the discretion of West Divide. Releases from Ruedi Reservoir storage will be
assumed for this study because it is the most reliable source during periods
when a call would affect RVSMD diversions. Water released from Ruedi
Reservoir will not reach the RVSMD diversion point in its entirety because of
transit losses. Transit losses are losses to the hydrologic system that are
not readily recoverable. Assessment of such losses is the responsibility of
the Division 5 Engineer. A standard transit -loss assessment has not been
designated for the reach of the natural stream between Ruedi Reservoir and
RVSMD. Approximately 10% (2.5 AF) of original 25.0 AF purchased from the West
Divide Conservancy District will be reserved for the transit loss assessment.

PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION
1. The Anderson Well No. 2 will supply water to its decreed maximum
until the RVSMD is notified that it is out of priority.
2. When the Anderson Well No. 2 is out of priority it will continue to
divert as water is released from Ruedi Reservoir in an amount equal
to corresponding depletions by RVSMD plus an allowance for transit
loss. The RVSMD will observe transit loss adjustments imposed by
the Division 5 Engineer for that section of stream between Ruedi
Reservoir and the point of diversion. Pump withdrawals will also be
limited to 122 gpm during winter months and 156 gpm for the summer
months. The RVSMD will curtail any non-domestic water use by
enforcing strict covenants.
3. At no time when the Anderson Well No. 2 is out of priority will the
consumptive use of water by the RVSMD and transit losses be allowed
to exceed the 25.0 acre-feet available from Ruedi Reservoir. Tables
3 & 4 show that the expected future consumptive use of RVSMD is less
than 25.0 acre-feet.

CONCLUSIONS
This augmentation plan provides adequate year-round protection of vested water
rights in the basin under present levels of water right utilization. Any out
of priority diversions during the irrigation and non -irrigation seasons are
protected by releases from the West Divide Water Conservancy District. The
plan could serve 703 domestic water taps. The taps served can either be those
not served under a previous plan, future taps, or any combination of the two.
Injury to vested water right holders in the Colorado River Basin will be
avoided by releasing water from the West Divide Water Conservancy District and
curtailment of irrigation by RVSMD water users. Senior downstream rights will
be protected because the water supply will be undiminished. Upstream rights
will not be subject to premature calls because the water supply will be
undiminished.
In the event of maximum development of conditionally decreed water rights, a
"compact call" could be imposed at the stateline. In that event the Anderson
Well could be augmented 100% of the time. The likelihood of a compact call
occurring within the foreseeable future is remote.
The plan as presented herein represents our best judgement regarding future
levels of development and yields of various water rights. It does not
constitute a guarantee that future conditions will conform precisely to our
assumptions.

Application to west Divide
Water Conservancy District for
Water Allotment Contract
(Pursuant to C.R.S. 1973, 37-45-131)
Applicant, RIFLE VILLAGE SOUTH METROPOLITAN DISTRICT,
hereby applies to the West Divide Water Conservancy District, a
political subdivision of the State of Colorado, organized pursuant
to and existing by virtue of C.R.S. 1973, 37-45-101, et sec., for
an allotment contract to beneficially and perpetually use the
water rights owned, leased, or hereafter acquired by the District.
By execution of this application, Applicant hereby agrees to the
following terms and conditions:
1. Water Richts: Applicant shall own water rights at
the point of diversion herein, which will be supplemented by
waters leased herein.
2. Quantity: The quantity herein applied for by the
Applicant is 25.0 cubic feet per second of water at the
Applicant's point of diversion from the District's direct flow
water rights and, when water is unavailable for diversion pursuant
to administration by the Colorado State Engineer during periods
when the beforementioned direct flow water right is not in
priority, the District shall release up to 25.0 acre-feet per
year of storage water for the Applicant owned or controlled by the
District. It is understood that any quantitiy allotted to the
Applicant by the District pursuant to its direct flow water right
will be limited by the priority of the District's decrees, and
that any quantity allotted will only be provided so long as the
Applicant fully complies with all of the terms and conditions of
this contract. The District and the Applicant recognize that the
District's decrees are in the name of the Colorado River Water
Conservation District, and the ability of the District to allot a
direct flow decree to the Applicant may be dependent on the
consent of the Colorado River Water conservation District. In
the event such consent is not forthcoming when the water is
needed by the Applicant, the Applicant shall be responsible for
obtaining other direct flow water rights, and, in such event, the
District shall release up to 25.0 acre-feet per year of storage
water for the Applicant owned or controlled by the District
during times when said water right is not in priority. At such
time as the District does acquire the ability to allot its direct
flow rights as herein provided, such allotment shall be made to
the Applicant, and upon obtaining -by the Applicant of a decree for
change in point of diversion for said direct flow right to this
point of diversion, the District's obligation to deliver storage
water as herein provided shall be reduced accordingly. In either
event, if at any time the Applicant determines it requires
-1-

less water than those amounts herein provided, it may so notify
the District in writing, and the amount of water allotted under
this contract shall be reduced in accordance with such notice.
3. Beneficial Use and Location of Beneficial Use: Any
and all water allotted Applicant by the District shall be used for
the following beneficial use or uses: Municipal, domestic and
related uses or irrigation and commercial (except Ruedi water
which is not available for irrigation and commercial).
Applicant's beneficial use of any and all water allotted shall be
within or through facilities or upon land owned, lease, operated,
or under Applicant's control. Such facilities or lands serviced
will be located entirely within the boundaries of the District.
4. Decrees and Deliver: Exchange releases made by the
District out of storage from Ruedi Reservoir or other works and
facilities of the District shall be delivered to the Applicant at
the outlet works of said storage facilities and release of water
at such otlets shall constitute performance of the District's
total delivery obligation. Delivery of water by the District from
Ruedi Reservoir shall be subject to the District's lease contract
with the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Furthermore, the
District hereby expressly reserves the right to store water and to
make exchange releases from structures that may be built by the
District in the future, so long as the water service to the
Applicant is not impaired by said action. Any quantity of
Applicant's allocation not delivered to Applicant by November 1st
of each year shall revert to the water supplies of the District.
5. Alternate Point of Diversion: Requests for
alternate points of diversion of the District's water rights may
be required in order to provide Applicant the water service
contemplated hereunder. The District reserves the exclusive right
to review and approve any conditions which may be attached to
judicial approval of said alternate point of diversion as
contemplated or necessary to serve Applicant's lands. Applicant
acknowledges and agrees that it shall be solely responsible for
the procedures and legal and engineering costs necessary for any
changes in water rights contemplated herein and further agrees to
indemnify the District from any costs or losses related thereto.
Applicant is solely responsible for providing works and
facilities necessary to obtain/divert the waters at said alternate
point of diversion and deliver them to Applicant's intended
beneficial use. Irrespective of the amount for water actually
transferred to the Applicant's point of diversion, the Applicant
shall make annual payments to the District based upon the amount
of water allotted.
6. Annual Payment: Annual payment for the water
service described herein shall be determined by the Board of
Directors of the District at a per acre-foot rate to be determined
annually by t,,e Board. The initial annual payment shall be made,
in full, within thirty (30) days after the date of notice to the
-2-
Applicant that the initial payment is due. Said notice will
advise the Applicant, among other things, of the water delivery
year to which the intitial payment shall apply and the price which
is applicable to that year. Annual payments for each year
thereafter shall be made by the Applicant on or before each March
1. If an annual payment is not made by the due date, written
notice thereof will be sent by the District to the Applicant at
such address as may be designated by the Applicant in writing.
All parties within the District allotted water pursuant to the
powers of the District shall be treated uniformly for all parties
with similar uses.
If payment is not made within ten (10) days after the
date of said written notice, Applicant shall have no further
right, title or interest under this contract; and the allotment of
water, as herein made, shall be transferred, leased, or otherwise
disposed of at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the
