We issued a writ of certiorari to review the court of appeals decision in Grynberg v. Northglenn, 829 P.2d 473(Colo. App. 1991) (Grynberg II), affirming an inverse condemnation judgment in favor of the plaintiff, Jack J. Grynberg, against the defendant, the City of Northglenn, which constructed a 6,000 acre-foot wastewater reservoir on land overlying part of Grynberg's mineral lease. The trial court found that Grynberg's property had been taken or damaged, and a jury of freeholders awarded him $646,930, plus interest, costs and attorney fees for a total of $862,155.05.
