The Commission finds as follows:

 

1.      Pepper Tank Co. and Teresa M. Scheetz, as applicants herein, are interested parties in the subject matter of the above-referenced hearing.

 

2.      Due notice of the time, place and purpose of the hearing has been given in all respects as required by law.

 

3.      The Commission has jurisdiction over the subject matter embraced in said Notice, and of the parties interested therein, and jurisdiction to promulgate the hereinafter prescribed order.

 

4.      On August 20, 1963, the Commission issued Order No. 10-3 which approved a certain Unit Agreement, as amended, for the Keota "J" Sand Unit Area, and a plan for secondary recovery by the injection of water into the "J" Sand underlying the following described lands in Weld County, Colorado, to-wit:
