2. DISCUSSION & STUDY ITEMS

A. Reserve Fund Policy

Northern Water President Applegate next requested a discussion of proposed Northern Water

Reserve Fund Policy. Mr. Gibbens referred Directors to a draft, redlined copy of Resolution D-

XXXX-XX-XX, Northern Water Reserve Fund Policy, and reminded the Board that this matter was

last discussed during the May 9, 2019, Board meeting. He next directed the Board’s attention to a

discussed: (1) Robert’s Rules of Order, which Northern Water utilizes as a guide for Board meeting

procedures; and (2) the differences between approval and acceptance of meeting minutes.

(CRWUA) 2019 annual meeting in Las Vegas, scheduled for December 11-13, 2019. Mr. Wind

stated that staff recommended canceling the December 5th Board Planning Session and

rescheduling the December 12th Board meeting to December 5th, to avoid conflicting with the

CRWUA annual meeting. Following a brief discussion, it was the consensus of Directors to

proceed as outlined by staff.

E. William “Bill” Fischer Memorial Resolution

Northern Water President next requested a discussion of draft Resolution D-1329-06-19 / MS-379-

06-19, Joint Memorial Resolution for William “Bill” Fischer. Mr. Wind referred the Board to

copies of the draft resolution and asked Directors to review it and provide feedback to staff prior

15

Page 4 Planning Session

June 6, 2019

G. Regional Pool Program Recap

Northern Water President Applegate next asked for a recap of the Regional Pool Program (RPP).

Ms. Sarah Smith, Water Scheduling Department Assistant Manager, provided a brief recap of the

Board’s May 9, 2019, allocation of 12,500 acre-feet of water from Northern Water’s RPP. She

referred Directors to a PowerPoint presentation and discussed: (1) more than 30,000 acre-feet of

water requested by 39 bidders (83 bids); (2) a minimum successful bid price of $160.50 per acre-

foot (weighted average of $177.36); (3) six successful bidders (all for irrigation use); (4) RPP

revenues of approximately $2,200,809; and (4) additional bid statistics. A brief discussion

followed.

H. NISP Interim Financing Discussion

This item was previously removed from the meeting agenda.

I. Varra Industrial Property Petition for Inclusion

Northern Water President Applegate next asked for a discussion of a petition for inclusion by Varra

Industrial Property, Incorporated (Varra). Ms. Sherri Rasmussen, Contracts Department Manager,

previewed the proposed petition into Northern Water boundaries of property owned by Varra,

located in the Town of Nunn (Nunn), including the following: (1) the Varra petition, previously

on the May 9, 2019, Board meeting agenda, was pulled from the agenda by mutual agreement

between Northern Water staff and the petitioner; and (2) staff now has additional information

pertaining to Nunn’s water portfolio, as well as the petitioner’s proposed site plan use.

Ms. Kris Thompson, Inclusion Specialist, next reviewed the following: (1) details of Nunn’s water

supply, including water sources and the town’s relationship with the North Weld County Water

District; (2) history of Nunn’s boundaries and boundary lines in the vicinity of the proposed Varra

petition for inclusion; (3) the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s (Reclamation) new administrative

process for land inclusions as of July 2016, including the Non-Colorado-Big Thompson (C-BT)

at-the-tap requirement and expedited administrative process; (4) details of the Varra petition for

inclusion; and (5) Nunn’s plans for additional future growth.

A general discussion ensued. Mr. Wind noted that a primary reason staff brought this matter before

the Directors is the Board’s stated concern with ongoing inclusions and the diminishing number

of C-BT units associated with Class D water allotment contracts. Ms. Thompson stated that the

proposed Varra petition and Nunn’s future growth plans raise questions as to whether the Northern

Water delivery area and boundary should continue to grow, and whether additional conditions

should be placed upon any future proposed petitions for land inclusions, which in turn could

necessitate additional enforcement of such conditions. Several Directors voiced concern with

inclusions like the proposed Varra petition, and the continued disbursement of C-BT units across

an increasing Northern Water delivery area. Following additional discussion, it was the consensus

of the Board to postpone the Varra inclusion petition for an additional month to provide staff and

legal counsel with additional research time.

Administration, Platte River Power Authority, Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association,

and Mountain Parks Electric, Incorporated; (2) the locations of and project facilities served by

Northern Water’s fiber network; (3) locations and project facilities still in need of fiber network

service; and (4) future and planned build out of Northern Water’s fiber network. A brief discussion

and questions followed.

K. Larimer County 1041 Permit Process Overview

Northern Water President Applegate next asked for a discussion of Larimer County’s 1041 Permit

Process. Ms. Montaño reported briefly on: (1) recent meetings and discussions with Larimer

County officials regarding a proposed process to solicit public input regarding NISP, including

recreation facilities at Glade Reservoir and proposed NISP pipeline routes; (2) several proposed

public comment meetings in July and September; and (3) pending completion of a website for

Mr. Werner discussed a draft policy that would replace existing policies that had been associated with the social media platforms in use. Ms. Montaño then discussed the policy in more detail and how it would be applied moving forward. She recommended the policy be implemented administratively and not via Board action, as that would require formal amendments should any changes be required in the future. Committee members thanked Ms. Montaño and the Communications Department representatives for their efforts. 3. OPEN MEETINGS REQUIREMENTS Chairwoman Harrison next requested an update on requirements under the Colorado Open Meetings Law in light of recent court rulings. Ms. Montaño and Committee members had a brief discussion about the issues involved, and she reminded Directors that any gathering of three Board members in which they would be discussing issues related to Northern Water business would be considered a public meeting.

While the law does not go into full effect until future years, Chairwoman Harrison asked if salary history questions can by removed from current Northern Water employment applications. Ms. Bennett said she would inquire with the Information Technology Department about making such a change. There being no further business for the Committee to consider, Chairwoman Harrison adjourned the meeting.

Page 2 Finance & Benefits Committee Meeting June 13, 2019

A. Pilot Compensation Project

Ms. Bennett referred the Committee to a PowerPoint presentation and discussed ongoing efforts by Human Resources to: (1) review Northern Water’s compensation philosophy; (2) determine the continuing viability of Northern Water’s step-grade salary table; (3) and conduct a market analysis of 10 positions to determine their appropriate steps and grades. Ms. Bennett reported that results of the market analysis indicated Northern Water’s compensation philosophy is reasonable, the step-grade salary table is viable, and that most of the 10 positions studied are in the correct grade, with just a few positions needing adjustment. The next steps include: (1) make any necessary pay structure changes; and (2) ask Employer’s Council to analyze additional positions (with priority given to those with no survey data, that are hard to fill and are unique to Northern Water); and (3) work to standardize position titles. A discussion and questions followed. B. 2019 Benefit Survey Ms. Bennett continued with a PowerPoint presentation and next discussed the results of an analysis of Northern Water’s benefits programs and benefits coverage conducted by Employers Council, including the following results of the analysis: (1) Northern Water’s paid time off is comparable to the peer group average; (2) Northern Water’s health and dental coverage benefit is comparable to the peer group average; (3) Northern Water’s retirement benefit (excluding the defined benefit plan) is less favorable than the peer group average; and (4) Northern Water’s tuition reimbursement is less favorable than the peer group average. A general discussion ensued regarding Northern Water’s retirement benefit plans, including: (1) the defined benefit retirement plan, which was closed to new employees starting January 1, 2003; (2) Northern Water’s defined contribution benefit (401a) plan, which is less favorable than the peer group average in all years of service comparisons; and (3) Northern Water’s 457 retirement plan, which is optional to all employees, and is employee-only funded. Mr. Wind noted that participation in the optional 457 plan by employees enrolled in the 401a plan is low. He discussed a variety of options to encourage greater participation in the 457 plan by employees enrolled in the 401a plan, including the option of Northern Water providing an incentive in the form of a match. Following additional discussion and questions, the Committee directed staff to more closely study options for Northern Water to potentially incentivize 401a plan enrollees to participate in the 457 plan, possibly utilizing some form of a matching program. Mr. Wind stated that staff would proceed as directed by the Committee. C. Long Term Disability Ms. Bennett continued with a PowerPoint presentation and next discussed: (1) Northern Water’s current long term disability and medical coverage benefits versus current best practices; (2) Northern Water’s current long term disability and retirement benefits versus current best

27

Page 3 Finance & Benefits Committee Meeting June 13, 2019

practices; and (3) Northern Water’s current long term disability and termination versus current best practices. At this point Ms. Bennett deferred additional discussion to Executive Session. 3. EXECUTIVE SESSION Chairman Yanchunas convened in Executive Session for the following Executive Session topic:

• Receive legal advice from legal counsel pursuant to C.R.S. § 24-6-402(4), as related to Northern Water’s long term employee disability benefits.

Following the conclusion of the Executive Session, Chairman Yanchunas reconvened the Board meeting. Chairman Yanchunas then adjourned the Committee meeting.

LEGAL REPORT MUNICIPAL SUBDISTRICT,

NORTHERN COLORADO WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT July 11, 2019

I. General

A. Water Quality – Litigation and Regulation. The purpose of this action is to ensure that court decisions and administrative regulations do not undermine the ability of Northern Water, the Subdistrict, and their constituents to conserve and beneficially use water resources. This work is proceeding primarily through the staff with support from Peter Nichols, in coordination with Deb Freeman.

B. Real Property and Easement Support. The purpose of this work is to protect existing property interests and acquire property interests needed for future water supply projects. The Subdistrict owns 1,800 acres of land including the site at Chimney Hollow and 400 acres on the West Slope, which it acquired in a land trade with the Bureau of Land Management for the Windy Gap Pipeline.

C. Colorado River BLM Wild and Scenic River Stakeholder Group Plan. The purpose of this activity is to protect the ability of the Windy Gap Project to divert water for beneficial use. Counsel and staff worked for several years with other Upper Colorado River stakeholders to develop a Stakeholder Group Management Plan (SG Plan) as an alternative to agency evaluations of “suitability” under the federal Wild and Scenic Rivers Act for segments of the Colorado River from Gore Canyon downstream to Glenwood Canyon. Counsel and staff continue to work cooperatively as a stakeholder in implementation.

D. Colorado River Connectivity Channel. On October 11, 2018, and November 11, 2018, respectively, the Board adopted Resolutions MS-374-10-18 and MS-377-11-18, which stated the Board’s intent to acquire certain contractual interests held by the Schmuck Children’s Trust in connection with pursuit of the Colorado River Connectivity Channel. The Board directed counsel and staff to proceed with acquisition of the interests. Counsel has received an appraisal of Schmuck Children’s Trust interests and, with Board direction, has been working with counsel for Schmuck Children’s Trust to acquire the interests. Counsel and staff sent a final offer letter to counsel for the Schmuck Children’s Trust on April 26, 2019. Since then, the parties have agreed to engage in mediation, which is scheduled to occur on July 29, 2019.

II. Windy Gap Firming Project Water Activity Enterprise

A. Windy Gap Firming. The purpose of this project is to assist the Windy Gap Project Participants to select and construct the optimum alternative to firm the yield of Windy Gap units.

The Application to Amend the Windy Gap Decrees was filed in Water Court on 32

2

September 29, 2017, and has been assigned Case No. 17CW3176. Since then, counsel has entered into, and the water court has approved, stipulations with Grand County, the Middle Park Water Conservancy District, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Trout Unlimited, the State and Division 5 Engineers, and Denver Water. Counsel is currently working with staff on possible options for settlement with the three remaining opposers, the Schmuck Children’s Trust, the CWCB, and the Upper Colorado River Alliance. The most recent status conference with the Water Referee occurred on June 4, 2019. The next status conference is scheduled for August 13, 2019, after the mediation scheduled with the Schmuck Children’s Trust.

On October 26, 2017, a group of parties—Save the Colorado, Save the Poudre:

Poudre Waterkeeper, WildEarth Guardians, Living Rivers, Waterkeeper Alliance, and Sierra Club—filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against the Bureau of Reclamation and the Army Corps of Engineers challenging their NEPA and section 404 approvals for the Windy Gap Firming Project. The Case is captioned Save the Colorado v. Bureau of Reclamation, Case No. 17-cv-2563. The Bureau of Reclamation and Army Corps filed an Answer to the Petition on January 16, 2018. On September 26, 2018, the district court granted the Municipal Subdistrict’s motion to intervene in the case as a respondent to defend the agencies’ decisions. The court also granted motions to intervene filed by the Colorado Department of Natural Resources and the City and County of Broomfield on March 19, 2019.

On March 29, 2019, the court denied the petitioners’ motion to supplement the

administrative record with a report prepared by its own expert. Following that denial, the parties developed and the court approved a briefing schedule. Petitioners filed their opening brief on May 23, 2019. Counsel currently is reviewing the brief and working on a response. Reclamation and the Corps have until July 22, and Intevenors will have until July 25, to file response briefs. Petitioners then will complete the briefing process by filing a reply brief by approximately August 15. It is not known when the district court will rule on the merits of the case after the briefing process is complete. On June 28, 2019, the case was randomly reassigned from the judge who handled the preliminary procedural matters mentioned above (Senior Judge Robert Blackburn) to the judge that will rule on the merits of the case (Judge William Martinez).

RE: Water Quality Counsel’s Monthly Report

Below is Berg Hill Greenleaf Ruscitti’s report on water quality activities for the past

month. For clarity, changes since last month are shown in italics.

A. Water Quality - State Regulatory Activity. The purpose of this action is to insure that

state regulations continue to allow Northern Water to conserve and beneficially use water

resources.

A.1 Colorado River Basin Triennial Review Hearing. The Water Quality Control Commission

(WQCC) will hold a hearing on revisions to water quality standards and classifications for the

Upper Colorado River Basin in June 2019. Counsel filed a Responsive Prehearing Statement on

April 17th, generally in support of the Division’s proposal for Willow Creek classifications and

standards. Proposed changes by other parties do not appear to affect segments of interest to

Northern. Counsel and staff attended the Commission’s hearing on June 10, 2019 in Grand

Junction to testify in support of changes to Willow Creek classifications and standards, which the

Commission adopted.

A.2 Grand Lake Clarity. The WQCC adopted a narrative clarity standard for Grand Lake in 2008, and

added “Goal Qualifiers” of 2.5-meters minimum and 3.8- meters average to inform the narrative

standard in 2016. The standard is:

The highest level of clarity attainable consistent with the exercise of established

water rights, the protection of aquatic life, and water quality throughout the Three

Lakes system.

EPA has the authority to accept, reject or promulgate alternate water quality standards,

but has yet to act on the Commission’s clarity standard for Grand Lake.

During the last half of 2015, staff and Counsel engaged in informal weekly meetings with

other Grand Lake stakeholders and power interests to draft a Clarity MOU for an

adaptive management program to implement the narrative clarity standard while

Reclamation completes an Environmental Assessment (EA) pursuant to the National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Reclamation recently initiated discussion of

extending the MOU beyond 2021 to accommodate completion of the NEPA process, 34

2

discussed below. The Adaptive Management Committee, largely coordinated by

Northern Water staff, meets weekly from early July through September 11 with

Reclamation to review Grand Lake clarity, water quality parameters in the three lakes

system, and make recommendations for Reclamation’s operations of C-BT.

Reclamation began “pre-NEPA” to evaluate alternatives to address Grand Lake clarity

in mid-2016, and adopted a revised “statement of purpose and need” in early 2017,

which defines Reclamation’s formal NEPA process. Reclamation has been meeting

with Cooperating Agencies, including Northern Water approximately three times a year.

In early 2018, Reclamation proposed several new alternatives that cost less than $10

million, and that do not involve significant structural changes to C-BT. Reclamation has

delayed formal NEPA scoping, and continues “pre-NEPA” work with the Cooperating

Agencies pursuant to a new executive order that requires completion of Environmental

Assessments within nine months, whereas Reclamation thinks it will take until 2022 to

complete the Grand Lake clarity EA. Reclamation anticipates beginning formal NEPA

scoping in 2019.

A.3 Grand Lake “Outstanding Waters” Proposal. A group calling itself “Outstanding Grand

Lake” proposes that the WQCC designate Grand Lake an “outstanding water.” Waters must

meet three tests for WQCC designation as “outstanding,” and Grand Lake facially does not meet

any of them.

The group requested that the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments (NWCCOG)

include the outstanding waters designation in NWCCOG’s area-wide 208 water quality

plan at a July 2017 hearing in Grand Lake. NWCCCOG, however, voted after testimony

from Northern Water and the State that the request was premature and continued its

hearing until the fall of 2018 to give time for the existing cooperative adaptive

management program and NEPA processes to make progress on Grand Lake clarity. On

October 25, 2018 NWCCOG adopted the staff’s recommendation to continue its hearing

until Reclamation's Public Notice for the alternatives analysis is available.

Nonetheless, Outstanding Grand Lake proposed outstanding waters designation for

Grand Lake at the Commission’s Upper Colorado River Issues Formulation Hearing on

November 13, 2018, the second step in the Commission’s multi-year cycle of reviewing

and revising basin water quality classifications and standards. Counsel worked with staff

on written comments to explain the progress facilitated by adaptive management, and that

the proposal is not ripe for consideration at the hearing scheduled for June 2019. Counsel

and staff presented oral testimony at the Commission’s Issues Formulation Hearing, and

presented data that the proposal does not meet the Commission’s ripeness criteria. The

Division concurred. The Commission voted not to include the proposal in the scope of

the triennial review hearing, but noted the possibility for Outstanding Grand Lake to

petition the Commission for a hearing to consider this issue again in the future,

potentially prior to the next triennial review hearing (2024) if the ripeness considerations

regarding the Bureau of Reclamation’s NEPA process, NWCCOG’s action on the 208

plan, and meaningful stakeholder discussions with the impacted entities regarding the

practical implications of an outstanding waters designation are sufficiently advanced.

A.4 Temperature Standards and Classifications. Counsel and staff have participated in various

work groups on temperature since 2004. Of particular concern to Northern Water are

transitional foothills streams – mountain to plains segments like the Cache la Poudre – that

exhibit different characteristics depending on hydrology and time of year. In the

continuing absence of consensus, and opposition from EPA and the environmental

community, the Commission directed the Division to use a segment specific approach to

temperature standards at the 2017 Basic Standards and Classifications hearing.

The Division’s approach involved preparation of Use Attainability Analyses (UAA) to

assess the physical, chemical, and biological factors affecting the attainment of the

temperature standards currently applied to protect the Aquatic Life use for specific

segments. The UAAs evaluate whether the fish species currently present are the species

“expected to occur,” given the geographic setting and the physical and chemical

characteristics of the water body. Each UAA includes a review of anthropogenic impacts

to ensure that sensitive species are protected and have not been extirpated by other water

quality impacts. Based on the UAAs, the Division proposed various changes in stream

segmentation and aquatic life use classifications. Staff are generally in support of the

Division’s conceptual approach, while remaining concerned about the adequacy of fish

and temperature data, whether brown trout may require site-specific standards, and how

ambient standards are implemented in a segment and an adjoining segment.

Staff convened stakeholders on the Cache la Poudre to develop site-specific temperature

standards to reflect actual temperature conditions and life stages of fish species present in

the river. The effort is making progress identifying a framework for setting site-specific

standards, and will hopefully produce consensus prior to the next South Platte River

basin hearing in 2020. Counsel and staff presented testimony regarding development of

a site-specific temperature standard at the Commission’s November 2018 Issues Scoping

Hearing, the first step in the Commission’s multi-year cycle of reviewing and revising

basin water quality classifications and standards. See also temperature discussion at A.5

Water Quality Forum below.

A.5 Water Quality Forum. Counsel, in coordination with staff, participate in various work

groups, i.e., basic standards and classifications, and nutrient criteria/dissolved

oxygen/lakes and reservoirs, established by the Water Quality Forum, the WQCC, and

WQCD to address specific issues that could affect Northern Water’s operations. Counsel

work with staff on issues of long-term concern to the District.

Following the Commission’s 2016 Basic Standards Hearing that failed to address

temperature standards, the Forum created a Temperature Work Group and Technical

Advisory Committee (TAC) to address data and other issues of immediate concern for

the basin hearings, and to tackle broader issues of longer-term statewide concern.

Counsel, staff and Northern’s consultants are participating in the Work Group and TAC,

which is addressing transition zones and shoulder seasons, both long standing concerns

of Northern Water.

B. 401 Certification of Subdistrict Projects. The purpose of this activity is to secure

401 certification for the projects from the State of Colorado in a timely and efficient manner.

B.1 NISP401 Certification. The Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP) requires 401

Certification from the State under the federal Clean Water Act because the Project

requires a federal section 404 permit from the Army Corps of Engineers. Staff and

Counsel are holding regular internal meetings, as well as regular meetings with the

WQCD to discuss issues, and the schedule for 401 certification. Counsel filed NISP’s

application for 401 certification with the WQCD on January 31, 2019. The public

comment period on the 401 application ended April 22, 2019. Counsel is working with

staff to respond to public comments.
