legally available for augmentation and which can be provided in the amount, at the time, and
at the location required to replace out of priority depletions from the nine wells. Additional
sources of replacement water in this SWSP may only be used if the Applicant complies with
the attached Administration Protocol - Use of Replacement Sources Not Specifically
Identified in an SWSP or Augmentation Plan.
10. Applicant shall replace the net evaporative depletions from the exposed ground water surface
area that may occur during the assumed ice covered period (January, February, and
December 2015) for any time that the exposed ground water in the pit is not completely
covered by ice.
11. The name, address, and phone number of the contact person who will be responsible for the
operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the accounting forms submitted to
the division engineer and the water commissioner.
12. Adequate accounting of depletions and replacements must be provided to the division

The historical consumptive use attributed to the changed surface water right(s) under this
SWSP shall not include ground water contributions. As a result, the historical consumptive
use ("HCU") credit calculated for the subject water right to be changed by this SWSP shall be
reduced by any ongoing sub -irrigation from ground water. In order to ensure the required
dry -up conditions exist during the approval period of this SWSP, and to ensure no sub -
irrigation from ground water is occurring, the Applicant shall provide records of monthly
monitoring of depth to ground water for all land associated with the change of water right in
