92-308(5), C.R.S., shall apply and the statutory fee (currently) $300 will be required
pursuant to 937-92-308(8), C.R.S. Any request for an additional SWSP must be
submitted to this office by January 2, 2017. This SWSP is the third approval for this
plan.
2. The total pumping and wellhead depletions allowed under this SWSP in combination
with the operation of permit nos. 10555-R (WDID 1405131), 10554-F (WDID 1405132),
11369-R (WDID 1405134) and 53051-F (WDID 1405208) under the EWSD I, LLC SWSP
and/or the Booth Well Association plan for augmentation decreed by the Division 2
Water Court in case no. O8CW12 are limited to 570.7 acre-feet and 477.3 acre-feet,
respectively, or any change to those allocated amounts in the AGUA or Booth plans,
during this plan year (April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017).
3. Replacement water must be provided at the estimated stream depletion rates.
Transit losses will be assessed by the Division Engineer and Water Commissioner
relative to the release point.
4. Well diversions must be measured in accordance with the "Amended Rules Governing
the Measurement of Tributary Ground Water Diversions Located in the Arkansas River
basin" prior to use. A separate metering method must be established for the irrigation
uses, and meter verification must be performed in accordance with the above Rules.
5. Due to the possibility that deliveries from the pipeline could occur at the same time as
when the Excelsior Ditch is in priority and running water, the pipeline delivering water
to the ditch in the vicinity of the EWSD I, LLC diversion must be metered and
diversions from the ditch to EWSD I, LLC must be measured and accounted for to the
satisfaction of the Division Engineer to demonstrate that Excelsior water is not being
erroneously diverted.
6. Accounting of water in this plan, including pumping (as specifically metered for each
use), stream depletions, and replacement water deliveries must be provided to the
Water Commissioners ([e-mail] and [e-mail])
and Division Engineer ([e-mail]) on forms and at times
acceptable to them. Said accounting must be received by the 1Oth of the month
following the month being reported. The name, mailing address, and phone number
of the contact person who is responsible for operation and accounting of this plan
must be provided on the accounting forms.
7. This plan 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 the operation of this plan.
8. Should this SWSP expire without renewal or be revoked prior to adjudication of a
permanent plan for augmentation, all diversion of water under this SWSP must cease
immediately.
9. 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
