Conditions of Approval
I hereby approve this substitute water supply plan, in accordance with S 37-90-137(11),
C.R.S., subject to the following conditions:
1. This SWSP shall be valid for the period of November 1, 2014 through October 31, 2015, unless
otherwise revoked, modified, or superseded by decree. If this plan will not be made absolute
by a water court action by the plan's expiration date, a renewal request must be submitted
to this office with the statutory fee (currently $257) prior to the expiration date but no later
than August 1, 2015.
2. Well permit no. 63551-F, as amended, was obtained for the current use and exposed water
surface area of the gravel pit in accordance with 5 37-90-137(2) and (11), C.R.S.
3. The total surface area of the groundwater exposed at the site must not exceed one (1) acre,
which results in a maximum evaporative annual loss of 2.93 acre-feet.
4. The annual amount of water used for dust control at the East 8th Street Pit shall not exceed
1.38 acre-feet and the total product mined at the site shall not exceed 500,000 tons per year,
which results in 7.36 acre-feet of water lost with the mined aggregate. All pumping for dust
control shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the division engineer.
5. Total consumption at the East 8th Street Pit must not exceed these aforementioned amounts
unless an amendment is made to this plan.
6. Approval of this plan is for the purposes as stated herein. This office must first approve any
additional uses for the water.
7. The replacement water that 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.
8. All releases of replacement water must be sufficient to cover all out-of-priority depletions in
time, place, and amount and must be made under the direction and/or the approval of the
water commissioner. The release of replacement water may be aggregated to maximize
beneficial use. The water commissioner and/or the division engineer shall determine the rate
and timing of an aggregated release.
9. Conveyance loss for delivery of augmentation water is subject to assessment and modification
as determined by the water commissioner or division engineer.
10. Adequate accounting of depletions and replacements must be provided to the division
engineer in Greeley ([e-mail]) and the water commissioner (Mark Simpson
at Mark.SimpsonCstate.co.us) on a monthly basis or other interval acceptable to both of
them. Submitted accounting shall conform to the Administration Protocol "Augmentation
Plan Accounting, Division One - South Platte Basin" (attached).
In addition, it is the applicant's responsibility to verify that the entities making replacements are
identifying this use on their accounting submitted to our office. For the period of this plan, that
entity is City of Greeley (WDID 0303330 - GLIC Accounting).
11. The name, mailing address, and phone number of the contact person who will be responsible
for operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the accounting forms to the
division engineer and water commissioner.
