10. 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.
11. All diversions shall be measured in a manner accepta ble to the Division Engineer. The Applicant
shall install and maintain such measuring devices as required by the Division Engineer for operation
of this SWSP. Dewatering operations shall be measured using a totalizing flow meter.
12. The Applicant shall provide daily accounting (including, but not limited to diversions, depletions,
replacement sources, and river calls) on a monthly basis, or more frequent if required by the water
commissioner. The accounting must be emailed to the District 2 Water Commissioner,
[e-mail], the River Operations Coordinator, [e-mail] and
[e-mail] within 30 days of the end of the month for which the accounting
applies. Accounting and reporting procedures are subject to approval and modification by the
division engineer. Accounting forms need to identify the WDID number for each well operating
under this SWSP.
13. Dewatering at this site will produce delayed depletions to the stream system. As long as the pit is
continuously dewatered, the water returned to the stream system should be adequate to offset the
depletions, thus dewatering is required to continue during the term of this plan. Once dewatering
at this site cease, the delayed depletions must be addressed.
14. 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 June 1, 2017 identifying the lands to be dried-up for the
2017 irrigation season. By October 31, 2017, the Applicant shall provide an affidavit to the water
commissioner and division engineer that confirms dry-up during the 2017 irrigation season. A GIS
shapefile outlining the dry-up must accompany each notification and be emailed to
[e-mail]. The shapefile shall include the pending court case number, 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 monitoring of depth to ground water for
all land associated with the change of water right in this SWSP. Information regarding depth to
ground water may be provided using existing irrigation wells, existing or new monitoring wells, or
piezometers located on the dried-up fields. Applicant may utilize wells or piezometers located
within ¼ mile of each field provided that the Applicant can demonstrate the depth to ground water
information available off-site is representative of the depth to ground water on the dried-up land.
The Applicant shall modify its accounting to reduce the amount of the calculated HCU that may be
claimed in this SWSP according to the table below. Measurements taken at the start of each month
will determine the necessary reduction in credit to be applied during the following month. The
Applicant may use another methodology upon review and prior approval by the state engineer and
division engineer. (Construction of monitoring holes/wells, or piezometers requires that permits or
notices be obtained as described in Table 1 of the Water Well Construction Rules.)
