December 21, 2015
a maximum post-81 exposed ground water surface of 24.3 acres. Actual ground water use and
amounts shall be limited to that specifically allowed through this SWSP.
3. No additional surface area of groundwater shall be exposed at the Kauffman No. 1 Pit beyond
that which was exposed prior to January 1, 1981. The annual amount of water used for dust
control at the Kauffman No. 1 Pit under this SWSP shall not exceed 5.37 acre-feet. Total
consumption at the Kauffman No. 1 Pit, must not be exceeded the aforementioned amount
unless an amendment is made to this plan.
4. Approval of this plan is for the purposes as stated herein. Any additional uses for which the
water may be used must first be approved by this office.
5. All pumping for dust control shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the water
commissioner or division engineer.
6. All 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.
7. The replacement water that is the subject of this plan cannot be sold or leased to any other
entity. As a condition of subsequent renewals of this substitute water supply plan, the
replacement water must be appurtenant to this site until a plan for augmentation is obtained.
All replacement water must be concurrent with depletions in quantity, timing and locations.
8. In the event Loveland plans to use C-BT Project water as a replacement source, Loveland shall
comply with the Interim Rule issued by the District in May 2005 regarding the use of C-BT
Project water in substitute water supply plans. Prior to the use of the C-BT Project water,
Loveland shall notify this office, the division engineer and the water commissioner of the
amount of C-BT Project water dedicated to this plan and provide a copy of the District's
approval letter as required by paragraph I(g) of the District's May, 2005 Interim Rule.
9. 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 with the accounting form to the
division engineer and water commissioner.
8. Adequate accounting of depletions and replacements must be provided to the division
engineer in Greeley ([e-mail]) and the water commissioner (Jean Lever at
[e-mail]) on a monthly basis unless otherwise approved in writing by the Water
Commissioner. Submitted accounting shall conform to the Administration Protocol
"Augmentation Plan Accounting, Division One - South Platte River" (attached).
In addition, the applicant shall verify that Loveland includes replacement water for this SWSP
in their monthly accounting. It is the Applicant responsibility to ensure Loveland releases the
leased water in the correct time, place, and amount.
9. Conveyance loss for delivery of replacement water to the location where depletions from the
Kauffman No. 1 Pit affect the Big Thompson River is subject to assessment and modification
as determined by the division engineer.
10. The Division Engineer, or his designated representative, will administer all such water
transported in the South Platte River or its tributaries under this SWSP, including water for
replacement of depletions, past intervening headgate to ensure that such water is not
intercepted or otherwise diminished in quantity by diversion, use or other interference by
intervening water rights and to assure that such water remains available and suitable for
