Bucklen Pit SWSP Page 6 of 9 <br /> October 28, 2014 <br /> Conditions of Approval <br /> I hereby approve this SWSP in accordance with 5 37-90-137(11), C.R.S., subject to the <br /> following conditions: <br /> 1. This SWSP shall be valid for the period of November 1, 2014 through October 31, 2015 unless <br /> otherwise revoked, modified, or superseded by decree. If this plan will not be made absolute <br /> by a water court action by the plan's expiration date, a renewal request must be submitted to <br /> this office with the statutory fee (currently $257) prior to the expiration date but no later <br /> than August 31, 2015. <br /> 2. Well permit no. 67876-F, as amended on February 24, 2010, was obtained for the current use <br /> and exposed water surface area of the gravel pit in accordance with 5 37-90-137(2) and (11), <br /> C.R.S. <br /> 3. The total surface area of the groundwater exposed at the Bucklen Pit after December 31, 1980 <br /> not exceed 12.54 acres, resulting in a maximum annual evaporative loss of 34.6 acre-feet. <br /> 4. The annual amount of water used for dust control at the Bucklen Pit shall not exceed 4.51 <br /> acre-feet and the total product mined at the site shall not exceed 200,000 tons per year, <br /> which results in 2.94 acre-feet of water lost with the mined aggregate. All pumping for dust <br /> control shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the division engineer. <br /> 5. Total consumption at the Bucklen Pit must not exceed these aforementioned amounts unless <br /> an amendment is made to this SWSP. <br /> 6. Approval of this SWSP is for the purposes as stated herein. Any additional uses for which the <br /> water may be used must first be approved by this office. Any future additional historical <br /> consumptive use credit given (e.g. agricultural water transfer) for this site must consider all <br /> previous credits given. <br /> 7. Applicant shalt replace the net evaporative depletions from the exposed ground water surface <br /> area that may occur during the assumed ice covered period (December through January) for <br /> any time that the exposed ground water is not completely covered by ice. <br /> 8. The replacement water that is the subject of this plan cannot be sold or leased to any other <br /> entity. As a condition of subsequent renewals of this SWSP, the replacement water must be <br /> appurtenant to this site until a plan for augmentation is obtained. <br /> 9. The Applicant has proposed to use for augmentation, water available from any other source <br /> legally available for augmentation and which can be provided in the amount, at the time, and <br /> at the location required to replace out of priority depletions from the Bucklen Pit. Additional <br /> sources of replacement water in this SWSP may only be used if the Applicant complies with <br /> the attached Division One Administration Protocol "Use of Replacement Sources Not <br /> Specifically Identified in an SWSP or Augmentation Plan". <br /> 10. All releases of replacement water must be sufficient to cover all out-of-priority depletions in <br /> time, place, and amount and must be made under the direction and/or the approval of the <br /> water commissioner. The release of replacement water may be aggregated to maximize <br /> beneficial use. The water commissioner and/or the division engineer shall determine the rate <br /> and timing of an aggregated release. <br />
