Julia Keedy <br />Bromley Lakes SWSP <br />April 8, 2015 <br />Page 9 <br />division engineer and the water commissioner on a monthly basis on a form <br />approved by them. The accounting must be submitted to the division engineer in <br />Greeley (Div1AccountinQ@state.co.us) and the water commissioner (Bill Schneider at <br />William.Schneider@state.co.us) and river operations coordinator (Brent Schantz at <br />Brent. Schantz@state.co.us) within 30 calendar days of the end of the month for <br />which the accounting is being made. All amounts shall be in acre -feet. <br />11. The Applicant shall perform an inspection and provide verification for all parcels of <br />dried up land used to generate augmentation credits during the term of this SWSP. <br />The final verification of dry up will be in the form of an affidavit signed by an <br />individual having personal knowledge of the dry up for the entire irrigation season <br />for each parcel of land used in this SWSP. In accordance with the attached protocol <br />for dry-up of irrigated land, the Applicant shall provide a written notification to the <br />water commissioner and division engineer by April 30, 2015 identifying the lands to <br />be dried up for the 2015 irrigation season. By October 31, 2015 the Applicant shall <br />provide an affidavit to the water commissioner and division engineer that identifies <br />and confirms the lands that were dried up during the 2015 irrigation season in order <br />that the final determination of augmentation credits for the irrigation season can be <br />made along with mapping showing any revisions to the dried -up acreage. A GIS <br />shapefile must be emailed to Div1Accounting@state.co.us for each dry-up <br />notification. If the submitted affidavit indicates that the intended and actual dry- <br />up acreages are identical, then no GIS shapefile is required. The shapefile shall <br />include the pending case number, the WDID of the plan, the acreage of dry-up, and <br />any accompanying metadata. In addition, the coordinate system of the shapefile(s) <br />must be in NAD83 UTM zone 13 North. The Applicant shall modify accounting to <br />reflect that the credit from any dried up fields containing alfalfa or native grass was <br />assessed in the following manner: <br />(a) For fields deep tilled or chemically treated to successfully kill alfalfa or <br />native grass, 100% credit will be given for consumptive use as otherwise <br />computed under the conditions of this approval. <br />(b) For fields not deep tilled or chemically treated to successfully kill alfalfa <br />or native grass, records of monthly monitoring of depth to ground Water at <br />existing irrigation wells or existing or new monitoring wells or piezometers <br />within 1/a -mile of each alfalfa or native grass field must be maintained. <br />Credits will be reduced according to the following table when depth to <br />ground water is less than the depth assumed to provide no significant <br />contribution to native grass or alfalfa growth. Measurements taken at the <br />start of each month will determine the necessary reduction in credit to be <br />applied during the following month. The applicant may use another <br />methodology upon review and approval by the State Engineer and Division <br />Engineer. <br />Depth to Ground <br />Water (Feet) <br />Percent Reduction in CU Credit' <br />Native Grass <br />Alfalfa <br />1 <br />85% <br />100% <br />2 <br />50% <br />90% <br />3 <br />30% <br />75% <br />
