Timnath-Connell Substitute Water Supply Plan Page 5 of 7 <br />March 31, 2017 <br /> <br />credit given (e.g., agricultural water transfer) for this site must consider all previous credits <br />given. <br />7. All pumping for dust control purposes shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the <br />division engineer. <br />8. All releases of replacement water must be sufficient to cover all out of priority depletions <br />and be made under the direction and/or approval of the water commissioner. The <br />replacement may be aggregated to maximize beneficial use. The water commissioner <br />and/or division engineer shall determine the rate and timing of an aggregated release. <br />9. The water attributable to the 2.5 shares of the Box Elder Ditch Company must continue to <br />be diverted in priority at the ditch and then measured into the Timnath-Connell recharge <br />site. Adequate measuring devices acceptable to the water commissioner must be installed. <br />10. The Division of Water Resources will not acknowledge any recharge activity conducted <br />without the knowledge of the water commissioner. The flow into the recharge site must be <br />metered and equipped with a continuous flow recorder unless the water commissioner, in <br />conjunction with the division engineer, determines adequate records may be kept without <br />such equipment. <br />11. Water may be delivered to recharge only if the net impact of this plan is not negative. <br />Water must first be delivered or exchanged to offset negative impacts of this plan before it <br />may be diverted for recharge. <br />12. The replacement water, which is the subject of this plan cannot be sold or leased to any <br />other entity. As a condition of subsequent renewals of this substitute water supply plan, the <br />replacement water must be appurtenant to this site until a plan for augmentation and/or <br />liner approval is obtained for the entire site. All replacement water must be concurrent with <br />depletions in quantity, timing, and locations. <br />13. Adequate accounting of depletions and replacements must be provided to the division <br />engineer in Greeley (Div1Accounting@state.co.us) and the water commissioner <br />(Mark.Simpson@state.co.us) on a monthly basis, or more frequent if required by the water <br />commissioner. All amounts shall be in acre-feet. <br />14. The name, address, and phone number of the contact person who will be responsible for the <br />operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the accounting forms submitted to <br />the division engineer and the water commissioner. <br />15. Applicant shall follow the Augmentation Plan Accounting, Dry-Up of Irrigated Land, and <br />Recharge Administrative Protocols, or any other applicable protocols as referenced in the <br />attached documents, for the operation of this SWSP. <br />16. Conveyance loss for delivery of augmentation water to is subject to assessment and <br />modification as determined by the division engineer. <br />17. The amount and location of the dry-up of the irrigated acreage associated with the subject <br />2.5 shares of the Box Elder Ditch Company was previously documented and approved by the <br />division engineer and water commissioner (see attached map 2). <br />18. If reclamation of the mine site produces a permanent water surface exposing groundwater <br />to evaporation, an application for a plan for augmentation must be filed with the Division 1 <br />Water Court at least three years prior to the completion of mining to include, but not be <br />limited to, long-term evaporation losses. If a lined pond results after reclamation,
