12. In accordance with amendments to Section 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 or not 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.
13. The decision of the State Engineer shall have no precedential or evidentiary force, shall
not create any presumptions, shift the burden of proof, or serve as a defense in any
pending water court case or any other legal action that may be initiated concerning the
SWSP. This decision shall not bind the State Engineer to act in a similar manner in any
other applications involving other SWSP or in any proposed renewal of this SWSP, and shalt
not imply concurrence with any findings of fact or conclusions of law contained herein, or
with the engineering methodologies used by the Applicant.
