11. The replacement water, which is the subject of this plan cannot be sold or leased to any other
entity. As a condition of subsequent renewals of this substitute water supply plan, the
replacement water must be appurtenant to this site until a plan for augmentation is obtained.
A copy of this approval letter should be recorded with the county clerk and recorder. All
replacement water must be concurrent with depletions in quantity, timing, and location.
12. 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.
13. Conveyance loss for delivery of augmentation water is subject to assessment and
modification as determined by the division engineer.
14. Adequate accounting of depletions and replacement must be provided to the division
engineer in Greeley ([e-mail]) and the water commissioner (Mark
Simpson, [e-mail]) on a monthly basis. Submitted accounting shall
conform to the Administration Protocol "Augmentation Plan Accounting, Division One -
South Platte River" (attached).
15. If not previously documented, the amount and location of the dry-up of the irrigated
acreage associated with the applicant's shares of the Whitney Ditch must be documented
and approved by the division engineer and water commissioner before any consumptive use
credits are available for use under this plan. A map and legal description of the dry-up must
be submitted to the water commissioner, division engineer and the Office of the State
Engineer as part of the documentation process. A GIS shapefile must be also emailed to
Div1Accountin @state.co.us for each dry-up area. The shapefile shall include the WDID of
the plan, the acreage of dry-up, and any accompanying metadata. In addition, the datum
must be NAD83 and the UTM projection must be Zone 13 North.
16. If reclamation of the mine site produces a permanent water surface exposing groundwater
to evaporation, an application for a plan for augmentation must be filed with the Division 1
Water Court at least three years prior to the completion of mining to include, but not be
limited to, long-term evaporation losses. If a lined pond results after reclamation,
replacement of lagged depletions shall continue until there is no longer an effect on stream
flow. Granting of this plan does not imply approval by this office of any such court
application(s).
17. Dewatering operations produce delayed depletions to the stream system. This SWSP
includes these lagged depletions associated with the Roberts Pit, Firestein Pit, Tigges Pit,
and La Poudre Pit. These lagged depletions are partially offset with dewatering accretions
from active dewatering at the North La Poudre Pit. Once dewatering at the North La
Poudre Pit ceases, the delayed depletions must be addressed. A totalizing flow meter is
required on all dewatering discharge in order for the operator to claim any accretion
credits.
18. DRMS staff inspected M-1996-060 on January 10, 2013 and determined the current
bond posted is not sufficient to eliminate long term augmentation requirements. By the
next SWSP renewal request, the operator is required to demonstrate to our office that
they are in compliance with the April 2010 DRMS letter, or have an approved plan with
DRMS to bring the sites into compliance.
19. In accordance with amendments to 8 25-8-202(7), C.R.S., and "Senate Bill 89-181 Rules and
Regulations" adopted on February 4, 1992, the State Engineer shall determine whether the
substitute supply is of a quality to meet requirements of use to which the senior
