All amounts shall be in acre -feet. <br />a. In addition, the Applicant shall verify that the entities providing replacement water for <br />this plan have included and shown this use in their monthly accounting submitted to <br />this office. For this plan those entities are the City of Greeley (WDID 0303330) and the <br />East Larimer County Water District (WDID 0302563). <br />13. This SWSP may be revoked or modified at any time should it be determined that injury <br />to other vested water rights has or will occur as a result of this SWSP. Should this <br />SWSP expire without renewal or be revoked prior to adjudication of a permanent plan <br />for augmentation, all uses of water at the pit must cease immediately. <br />14. The approval of this SWSP does not relieve the Applicant and /or the landowner of the <br />requirement to obtain a water court decree approving a permanent plan for <br />augmentation or mitigation to ensure the permanent replacement of all depletions, <br />including long -term evaporation losses and lagged depletions after gravel mining has <br />ceased. Granting of this SWSP does not imply approval by this office of any such court <br />application(s). <br />15. In accordance with amendments to §25 -8- 202(7), C.R.S., and "Senate Bill 89 -181 <br />Rules and Regulations" adopted on February 4, 1992, the State Engineer shall <br />determine whether the substitute supply is of a quality to meet requirements of use to <br />senior appropriators. As such, water quality data or analysis may be requested at any <br />time to determine if the water quality is appropriate for downstream water users. <br />16. The decision of the state engineer shall have no precedential or evidentiary force, shall <br />not create any presumptions, shift the burden of proof, or serve as a defense in any <br />pending water court case or any other legal action that may be initiated concerning this <br />SWSP. This decision shall not bind the state engineer to act in a similar manner in any <br />other applications involving other SWSPs, or in any proposed renewal of this SWSP, <br />and shall not imply concurrence with any findings of fact or conclusions of law <br />contained herein, or with the engineering methodologies used by the Applicant. <br />Should you have any questions or comments, please contact Michael Hein, Assistant Division <br />Engineer, in Greeley at (970) 352 -8712 or Sarah Brucker in Denver at (303) 866 -3581. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jeff `De rage, P.E. <br />Chief of Water Supply <br />Attachments: Figure 1 — Home Office Pit <br />Table 7 <br />Letter from DRMS dated April 30, 2010 <br />Augmentation Plan Accounting, Division One — South Platte River <br />Cc: Michael Hein, Assistant Division Engineer, Division 1, Michael.
