Mr. Peter Wayland Gardels SWSP March 9, 2015 Page 4 of 6 2. A well permit must be obtained for this pit in accordance with 5 37 -90- 137(2) and (11), C.R.S. Applicant submitted application receipt no. 3666875 and this application is pending evaluation. The provisions of 5 37 -90- 137(2), C.R.S., prohibit the issuance of a permit for a well to be located within 600 feet of any existing well, unless the State Engineer finds that circumstances so warrant after a hearing held in accordance with the procedural rules in 2 CCR 402 -5. This hearing may be waived if you are able to obtain statements from the owners of all wells within 600 feet, verifying that they have no objection to your use of the proposed well. Should a new well permit be denied for reasons of 600 foot spacing, or any other legitimate reason, approval of this substitute water supply plan will be cancelled. 3. The total surface area of the groundwater exposed at the Gardels Pit site must not exceed 9.39 acres, which results in a maximum evaporative annual loss of 21.67 acre - feet. 4. Total consumption at the Gardels 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. 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. Adequate accounting of depletions and replacements must be provided to the division engineer in Greeley (Div1AccountinCstate.co.us) and the water commissioner (George Roark at GeorQe.Roark@state.co.us) on a monthly basis. All amounts shall be in acre -feet. All submitted accounting shall conform to the Administration Protocol "Augmentation Plan Accounting - Division One, South Platte River" (attached).
