for a plan for augmentation must be filed with the Division 1 Water Court at least three (3)
years prior to the completion of mining to include, but not be limited to, long -term evaporation
losses and lagged depletions. If a lined pond results after reclamation, replacement of lagged
depletions shall continue until there is no longer an effect on stream flow.
17. The State Engineer may revoke this SWSP or add additional restrictions to its operation if at any
time the State Engineer determines that injury to other vested water rights has occurred or will
occur as a result of the operation of this SWSP. Should this SWSP expire without renewal or be
revoked prior to adjudication of a permanent plan for augmentation, all excavation of the
product from below the water table, and all other use of water at the pit, must cease
immediately.
18. 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 if this SWSP is of a
quality to meet requirements of use to which the senior appropriation receiving the substitute
supply has normally been put. As such, water quality data or analyses may be requested at any
time to determine if the requirement of use of the senior appropriator is met.
19. 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 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 plans or in any
proposed renewal of this plan, and shall not imply concurrence with any findings of fact or
conclusions of law contained herein, or with the engineering methodologies used by the Applicant.
