3. As requested herein, explanation and/or documentation must be provided the next SWSP
renewal request for the distance to stream and the distance to no -flow boundary
parameters utilized in the Glover lagging analysis.
4. Operational losses of ground water at the site under this SWSP shall be limited to the
amounts listed in Table 2, attached. Should the operator require additional operational
losses of ground water at this site, a new SWSP must be obtained.
5. The mined cell must be maintained in a de -watered state to the extent that the exposed
water surface area does not exceed a total of 6.1 acres including all ponds, collection
areas, dewatering trenches, and return trenches. If the actual water surface exposure
exceeds 6.1 acres, the additional evaporative depletion must be accounted for and
replaced via a new SWSP obtained by the Applicant.
6. The consumption associated with this mining operation is limited to evaporation, dust
suppression, and water lost in product not to exceed a total of 30.17 acre-feet in lagged
depletions during the 2015 - 2016 plan year. All diversions for dust suppression must be
metered in compliance with the Amended Rules Governing the Measurement of
Tributary Ground Water Diversions Located in the Arkansas River Basin. A certified
totalizing flow meter must be maintained.
7. AGUA/Fremont Paving agree to replace out -of -priority depletions to senior surface water
rights in Colorado and depletions to usable Stateline flows occurring after the expiration
date of the plan (March 31, 2016) that are caused by diversions of ground water during the
life of the SWSP. According to the renewal request, "AGUA has agreed to provide 9.60
acre-feet of fully consumable recharge credits from its Excelsior Recharge Ponds during
the period of April 2016 through March 2017 if needed."
8. Releases of water by AGUA pursuant to this plan shalt be coordinated with the Division
Engineer and the Augmentation Coordinator and shall equal or exceed the depletions to
be replaced on a monthly basis.
9. Accounting of water in this plan, including excavated area, area of actual ground water
exposure, pumping, stream depletions, and replacement water deliveries must be
provided to the Water Commissioners ([e-mail] and
Peter. [e-mail]) and Division Engineer (Augmentation. [e-mail])
on forms and at times acceptable to them. Said accounting must be received by the 10th
of the month following the month being reported. The name, mailing address, and phone
number of the contact person who is responsible for operation and accounting of this plan
must be provided on the accounting forms. Accounting and reporting procedures are
subject to approval and modification by the Division Engineer.
10. The approval of this SWSP does not relieve the Applicant and/or landowner of the
requirement to obtain a Water Court decree approving a permanent plan for
augmentation or mitigation to ensure the permanent replacement of all depletions,
including long-term evaporation losses and lagged depletions after gravel mining
operations have ceased. If reclamation of the mine site will produce a permanent water
of coy
