Description of Conditional Rights: A. Original Decree: Case No. 03CW33, District Court in and for Water Division No. 7, dated September 15, 2004, B. Legal Description of Structures: i. Vickerstaff Pond is located in Section 23, T. 36 N., R. 1 W., at a point approximately 2,115 feet South of the North Line of said Section 23 and 476 feet West of the East Line of said Section 23. ii. Nordstrom Pond is located in Section 24, T. 36 N., R. 1 W., at a point approximately 2,326 feet South of the North Line of said Section 24 and 402 feet East of the West Line of said Section 24. iii. SJRR Well #1 is a culvert well located at the SE1/4 SE1/4, Sec. 14, T. 36 N., R. 1 W., N.M.P.M., at a point approximately 350 feet from South section line and 1,075 feet from East section line. C. Sources: i. Vickerstaff Pond and Nordstrom Pond are onstream reservoirs that capture and store natural runoff from Coal Mine Draw, tributary to the San Juan River. ii. SJRR Well #1 diverts groundwater tributary to the San Juan River. D. Appropriation Dates: i. Vickerstaff Pond. Appropriation date of ii. Nordstrom Pond. Appropriation date of October, iii. SJRR Well #1. Appropriation date of August 5, E. Amount of Water. i. Vickerstaff Pond. 4 acre-feet, conditional. ii. Nordstrom Pond. 2 acre-feet, conditional. iii. SJRR Well # c.f.s. (100 gpm), conditional. F. Beneficial Use. i. Vickerstaff Pond and Nordstrom Pond. Piscatorial, recreation and maintenance of the water level in Vickerstaff Pond and Nordstrom Pond (collectively the Ponds ) and their related water features for the enjoyment of the lot owners. The Ponds were decreed to allow related water features, which included a modified stream channel with pools and drop structures. When said stream channel is not naturally flowing with water, a pump may be used to circulate water from the Ponds through the channels. ii. SJRR Well #1. Domestic, irrigation and livestock uses (including horses). The SJRR Well #1 may also be used to supplement flows through the Ponds and related water features and replace evaporation, wherein the water will be put to the beneficial uses described above at paragraph 3(F)(i). Irrigation will occur on the lots located within the San Juan River Ranch Property Owners Association. G. Remarks. The approximate location of the Vickerstaff Pond, Nordstrom Pond and SJRR Well #1, and the San Juan River Ranch property where beneficial use has occurred, are depicted on the attached map incorporated herein by reference. The Vickerstaff Pond, Nordstrom Pond and SJRR Well #1 are the subject of an augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 03CW Claim to Make Absolute. A. Applicant claims the Vickerstaff Pond absolute in the full amount of 4 acre-feet, for all decreed uses including piscatorial, recreation and maintenance of the water level in the Ponds and their related water features for the enjoyment of the lot owner. The basis for this claim is that the Vickerstaff Pond was constructed and, at its current size, is believed to hold approximately 4 acre-feet of water that has been applied to the decreed uses. B. Applicant claims the SJRR Well # 1 absolute in the amount of 15 gallons per minute (gpm) for all decreed uses including domestic, irrigation, livestock uses (including horses) and

4 to supplement water stored in the Ponds. The basis for the claim is that SJRR Well # 1 was constructed and connected to a potable water supply delivery system that provides water for the foregoing uses, and the current pump installed in SJRR Well # 1 is limited to 15 gpm. 5. Detailed outline of work done toward completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use: Since the subject conditional water rights were adjudicated, Applicant and its predecessor have invested roughly $200,000 in various water facilities and operations including, but not limited to, completion of the SJRR Well # 1 potable water supply delivery system, completion of Vickerstaff Pond, construction of ditch improvements, headgates and diversion structures, construction of dam improvements, ditch cleaning, fish stocking, installation of aerators, installation of flumes and pipelines, river riparian work, hiring of a ranch manager to operate the water facilities, engineering associated with the Turkey Creek Ranch Reservoirs, and other matters. Applicant s various water rights and related infrastructure are part of an integrated water supply system for the development of the San Juan River Ranch, and the SJRR Well # 1 and Ponds are an integral part thereof. Accordingly, Applicant seeks to retain the conditional status of Nordstrom Pond and seeks to retain the conditional status of any and all uses and amounts of water conditionally decreed to SJRR Well # 1 and Vickerstaff Pond to the extent not made absolute in these proceedings, including but not limited to 85 gpm associated with SJRR Well #1 for all decreed uses associated therewith. 6. Ownership: The Vickerstaff Pond, Nordstrom Pond and SJRR Well #1 are all located on land owned by Applicant or the individual lot owners represented thereby. WHEREFORE, Applicant requests that the Court enter a decree that includes the following: (1) a finding that the Vickerstaff Pond water right is absolute in the full amount of 4 acre-feet for all decreed uses; (2) a finding that the SJRR Well #1 is absolute in the amount of 15 gpm for all decreed uses; (3) a finding that Applicant was reasonably diligent in perfecting Nordstrom Pond and any and all uses and amounts of water conditionally decreed to the Vickerstaff Pond and the SJRR Well #1 to the extent not made absolute by this application so that Applicant may retain all said conditional water rights; and (4) such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper.
