In the event that Loveland plans to use C -BT water as a replacement source, Loveland shall comply with the Interim Rule issued by the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District ( "Northern District ") in May 2005, regarding the use of C -BT Project water in substitute water supply plans. Prior to the use of C -BT Project water, Loveland is required to notify this office, the division engineer and the water commissioner of the amount of C -BT Project water dedicated to this plan and provide a copy of the Northern District's approval letter as required by paragraph I(g) of the Northern District's May, 2005 Interim Rule. The monthly depletions and replacement requirements are found on the attached Table AIA. Conditions of Approval I hereby approve the proposed substitute water supply plan in accordance with §37 -90- 137(11), C.R.S. subject to the following conditions: This SWSP shall be valid for the period of January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2015, unless otherwise revoked, modified, or superceded by decree.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 by November 15, 2015. 2. Well permit no. 76931 -F was obtained for the current use and exposed pond surface area in accordance with §37 -90- 137(2) and (11), C.R.S. The Applicant is required to maintain a valid well permit for the current uses at the site. 3. The total surface area of the groundwater exposed at the Kirtright Pit site after December 31, 1980 must not exceed 21.49 acres, which results in a maximum evaporative annual loss of 45.92 acre -feet. 4. Total consumption at the Kirtright Pit site must not exceed these aforementioned amounts unless an amendment is made to this plan. 5. Approval of this plan is for the purposes as stated herein. This office must first approve any additional uses for the water. Any future additional historic consumptive use credit given (e.g., agricultural water transfer) for this site must consider all previous credits given. 6. 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. All replacement water must be concurrent with depletions in quantity, timing, and locations. 7. In the event Loveland plans to use C -BT Project water as a replacement source, Loveland shall comply with the Interim Rule issued by the Northern District in May 2005 regarding the use of C -BT Project water in substitute water supply plans. Prior to the use of the C -BT Project water, Loveland shall notify this office, the division engineer and the water commissioner of the amount of C -BT Project water dedicated to this plan and provide a copy of the Northern District's approval letter as required by paragraph I(g) of the Northern District's May, 2005 Interim Rule.
