Partners Combined SWSP Page 5 of 6

7. Approval of this SWSP is for the purposes as stated herein. Any additional uses of this water
must first be approved by this office. Any future historic consumptive use credits sought
for this site (e.g., agricultural water transfer) must consider all previous credits applied.
8. 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.
9. The replacement water that is the subject of this SWSP cannot be sold or leased to
any other entity. As a condition of subsequent renewals of this SWSP, the
replacement water must be appurtenant to this site until a plan for augmentation is
obtained. A copy of this approval letter should be recorded with the county clerk and
recorder. All replacement water must be concurrent with depletions in quantity,
timing and locations.
10. Applicant shall replace the net evaporative depletions from the exposed ground
water surface area 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 engineer in Greeley ([e-mail]) and the water
commissioner (Mark Simpson, [e-mail]) on a monthly basis.
Submitted accounting shall conform to the Administration Protocol "Augmentation
Plan Accounting, Division One - South Platte River" (attached). All amounts shall be
in acre-feet.
In addition, the Applicant shall verify that the entities providing replacement water
for this plan have included and shown this use in their monthly accounting submitted
to this office. For this plan those entities are the City of Greeley (WDID 0303330)
and the East Larimer County Water District (WDID 0302563).
13. This SWSP 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 SWSP. Should
this SWSP expire without renewal or be revoked prior to adjudication of a permanent
plan for augmentation, all uses of water at the pit must cease immediately.
14. The approval of this SWSP does not relieve the Applicant and/or the 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 has
ceased. Granting of this SWSP does not imply approval by this office of any such
court application(s).
15. In accordance with amendments to §25-8-202(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.
