Replacement water must be provided such that the daily net impact (using the <br />simulated daily numbers from the modeling) is not negative. If a well is out -of- <br />priority for 15 days during a month, replacement must be made only for the 15 <br />days the well is out -of- priority. The replacement must be made, however, on a <br />daily basis as opposed to, for instance, making an aggregated release equal to <br />the volume of the out -of- priority depletions. Likewise, the simulated daily <br />accretion will only count toward replacing the depletion on the days the well is <br />out -of- priority. The accretions that report to the river when the well is in priority <br />cannot be used to replace the out -of- priority depletions. <br />The accretions that impact the river when the well is in priority are not <br />considered "excess" unless the cumulative net impact of the well is not negative <br />for the entire irrigation year to date. (The irrigation year for this purpose is April 1 <br />thru the following March 31.) Until such time as the cumulative net impact is not <br />negative, the accretions must simply be released to the river and cannot be <br />leased to other plans or recaptured. Plans that show a positive cumulative net <br />impact are still required to make replacements on a daily basis; the cumulative <br />analysis only effects whether or not accretions reporting to the river when the <br />well is in priority are considered "excess" and are, therefore, able to be <br />recaptured. <br />7. The basis for determining that the depletions are out -of- priority must be clearly <br />established and all steps in the calculation included in the accounting. The <br />analysis may be done, unless otherwise limited by decree, for each well or <br />groups of wells, provided the most junior water right associated with the group of <br />wells is used as the reference water right for the group's out -of- priority status. <br />8. Accounting must include actual information for the irrigation year through the <br />month for which the accounting is being submitted AND projections of the plan <br />operation through March 31 of the next calendar year. <br />9. The following naming convention must be used for all files submitted pursuant <br />to item 1: <br />"PIanWDID YYMMDD" <br />where: PIanWDID is the WDID assigned by the division engineer's office <br />YYMMDD corresponds to the date the accounting is submitted. <br />As an example, the assigned WDID for the former GASP plan was 0103333. If <br />accounting using Excel® was submitted for that plan on May 15, 2004, the file <br />name would be: <br />"0103333 040515.xis" <br />The name of the file must be in the subject line of the email. <br />10. All accounting must be reported using the WDID for the structure, at a minimum. <br />Other information such as well name, permit number, etc. may also be included <br />as desired. All wells must be decreed by the water court, permitted by the state <br />engineer or included in a decreed plan for augmentation. Unregistered and <br />undecreed wells cannot, in the opinion of the division engineer, be effectively <br />administered because of the need to know the location, allowable diversion rate <br />and use of the well - information that is only available from the decree or <br />permitting process. <br />Administration Protocol - Augmentation Plan Accounting <br />Revised March 19, 2009 <br />
