Bucklen Pit SWSP Page 6 of 8
October 27, 2015
3. The total surface area of the groundwater exposed at the Bucklen Pit after December 31,
1980 not exceed 12.54 acres, resulting in a maximum annual evaporative toss of 34.6 acre-
feet.
4. The annual amount of water used for dust control at the Bucklen Pit shall not exceed 4.51
acre-feet and the total product mined at the site shall not exceed 200,000 tons per year,
which results in 2.94 acre-feet of water lost with the mined aggregate. All pumping for dust
control shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the division engineer.
5. Total consumption at the Bucklen Pit must not exceed these aforementioned amounts unless
an amendment is made to this SWSP.
6. Approval of this SWSP is for the purposes as stated herein. Any additional uses for which the
water may be used must first be approved by this office. Any future additional historical
consumptive use credit given (e.g. agricultural water transfer) for this site must consider all
previous credits given.
7. Applicant shalt replace the net evaporative depletions from the exposed ground water surface
area that may occur during the assumed ice covered period (December through January) for
any time that the exposed ground water is not completely covered by ice.
8. The replacement water that is the subject of this plan cannot be sold or leased to any other
entity, unless excess replacement credits exist and the Applicant has obtained written
approval from the Division Engineer or Water Commissioner for the use of such excess
replacement credits. The replacement water must be appurtenant to this site for the
duration of this SWSP or until a plan for augmentation is obtained.
9. The Applicant has proposed to use for augmentation, water available from any other source
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 Bucklen Pit. Additional
sources of replacement water in this SWSP may only be used if the Applicant complies with
the attached Division One Administration Protocol "Use of Replacement Sources Not
Specifically Identified in an SWSP or Augmentation Plan".
10. Alt 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.
11. The water attributable to the six (6) shares of the Greeley Irrigation Company must continue
to be diverted in priority at the ditch and then measured back to the Cache La Poudre River
in the vicinity of the Bucklen Pit. Adequate measuring devices acceptable to the water
commissioner must be installed.
12. Conveyance loss for delivery of augmentation water is subject to assessment and modification
as determined by the water commissioner or division engineer.
13. Adequate accounting of depletions and replacements must be provided to the division
engineer in Greeley ([e-mail]) and the water commissioner (Mark Simpson
at [e-mail]) on a monthly basis or other interval acceptable to both of
them. Submitted accounting shall conform to the attached Division One Administration
Protocol "Augmentation Plan Accounting, Division One - South Platte Basin".
