appurtenant to this site until a plan for augmentation is obtained. All replacement water
must be concurrent with depletions in quantity, timing and locations.
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 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 2016) 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
at [e-mail]) on a monthly basis, or more frequent if required by the water
commissioner. The accounting form provided with your application is subject to modification
and approval by the division engineer. All amounts shall be in acre-feet. Submitted
accounting shall conform to the attached Administration Protocol - Augmentation Plan
Accounting. NOTE: Monthly accounting, even during the winter non-irrigation season, is
required.
13. All pumping for dust control shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the division
engineer.
14. Submitted accounting must include monthly meter readings from the dewatering pump.
15. The Applicant shall perform an inspection and provide verification that the land associated
with the changed water right in this SWSP has been removed from irrigation during the term
of this SWSP. Verification of dry-up must be in the form of an affidavit signed by an
individual with personal knowledge of the dry-up for the entire irrigation season for each
parcel of land associated with the change of water right in this SWSP. In accordance with the
attached Administration Protocol - Dry-Up of Irrigated Land, the Applicant shall provide a
written notification to the water commissioner and division engineer by April 1, 2016
identifying the lands to be dried-up for the 2016 irrigation season. By October 31, 2016, the
Applicant shall provide an affidavit to the water commissioner and division engineer that
confirms dry-up during the 2016 irrigation season. A GIS shapefile outlining the dry-up must
accompany each affidavit and be emailed to Div1AccountinR®state.co.us for each
notification. The shapefile shall include the WDID of the plan, a delineation of the dried-up
land, the acreage of dry-up, and any accompanying metadata. In addition, the datum must
be NAD83 and the UTM projection must be Zone 13.
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
