Julia Keedy RMCC Combined SWSP October 21, 2013 Page 7 of 9 9. The name, address, and phone number of the contact person who will be responsible for the operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the accounting forms submitted to the division engineer and the water commissioner. 10. All diversions shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the Division Engineer. The Applicant shall install and maintain such measuring devices as required by the Division Engineer for operation of this SWSP. Dewatering operations shall be measured using a totalizing flow meter. In addition, the applicant shall maintain daily records of all diversions, replacements, and the amount of water used for each particular purpose. The applicant shall provide a report of these records to the division engineer and the water commissioner on a monthly basis on a form approved by them. The accounting must be submitted to the division engineer in Greeley (Div1Accountingo.state.co.us) and the water commissioner (Bill Schneider at William. Schneider(a)_state.co.us) and river operations coordinator (Brent Schantz at Brent. Schantz(a)state.co.us) within 30 calendar days of the end of the month for which the accounting is being made. All amounts shall be in acre -feet. 11. The Applicant shall perform an inspection and provide verification for all parcels of dried up land used to generate augmentation credits during the term of this SWSP. The final verification of dry up will be in the form of an affidavit signed by an individual having personal knowledge of the dry up for the entire irrigation season for each parcel of land used in this SWSP. In accordance with the attached protocol for dry -up of irrigated land, the Applicant shall provide a written notification to the water commissioner and division engineer by April 1, 2014 identifying the lands to be dried up for the 2014 irrigation season. By October 31, 2013 the Applicant shall provide an affidavit to the water commissioner and division engineer that identifies and confirms the lands that were dried up during the 2013 irrigation season in order that the final determination of augmentation credits for the irrigation season can be made along with mapping showing any revisions to the dried -up acreage. A GIS shapefile must be emailed to Div1Accounting @state.co.us for each dry -up notification. If the submitted affidavit indicates that the intended and actual dry -up acreages are identical, then no GIS shapefile is required. The shapefile shall include the pending case number, the WDID of the plan, the acreage of dry -up, and any accompanying metadata. In addition, the coordinate system of the shapefile(s) must be in NAD83 UTM zone 13 North. The Applicant shall modify accounting to reflect that the credit from any dried up fields containing alfalfa or native grass was assessed in the following manner: (a) For fields deep tilled or chemically treated to successfully kill alfalfa or native grass, 100% credit will be given for consumptive use as otherwise computed under the conditions of this approval. (b) For fields not deep tilled or chemically treated to successfully kill alfalfa or native grass, records of monthly monitoring of depth to ground water at existing irrigation wells or existing or new monitoring wells or piezometers within % -mile of each alfalfa or native grass field must be maintained. Credits will be reduced according to the following table when depth to ground water is less than the depth assumed to provide no significant contribution to native grass or alfalfa growth. Measurements taken at the start of each month will determine the necessary reduction in credit to be applied during the following month. The applicant may use another methodology upon review and approval by the State Engineer and Division Engineer.
