river, a suitable augmentation plan is obtained, or another party assumes full
augmentation responsibilities. The Applicant has a current bond of $1,603,000 to
account for the possible need of backfilling or lining the pit.
16. This substitute water supply plan may be revoked or modified at any time should it be
determined that injury to other vested water rights has or will occur as a result of this
plan. Should this substitute water supply plan expire without renewal or be revoked
prior to adjudication of a permanent plan for augmentation, all excavation of product
from below the water table, and all other use of water at the pit, must cease
immediately. In addition, lack of timely accounting may prevent proper
administration, which may lead to revocation or modification of this plan.
17. In accordance with amendments to 625-8-202(7), C.R.S., and Senate Bill 89-181 Rules
and Regulations adopted on February 4, 1992, the State Engineer shall determine
whether the substitute supply is of a quality to meet requirements of use to senior
appropriators. As such, water quality data or analysis may be requested at any time
to determine if the water quality is appropriate for downstream water users.
18. The decision of the State Engineer shall have no precedential or evidentiary force,
shall not create any presumptions, shift the burden of proof, or serve as a defense in
any water court case or any other legal action that may be initiated concerning the
substitute water supply plan. This decision shall not bind the State Engineer to act in a
similar manner in any other applications involving other plans or in any proposed
renewal of this plan, and shall not imply concurrence with any findings of fact or
conclusions of law contained herein, or with the engineering methodologies used by
the Applicant.
