25th Avenue Pit SWSP, (Amendment) Page 9 of 9
May 30, 2017

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 supply plan expire without
renewal or be revoked prior to adjudication of a permanent plan for augmentation, all use of
ground water must cease immediately.
18. In accordance with amendments to § 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
substitute water supply plan 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 pending
water court case or any other legal action that may be initiated concerning this plan. 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.
If you have any questions concerning this approval, please contact Michael Hein in Greeley
at [phone] or Ioana Comaniciu in Denver at [phone].
Sincerely,

Jeff Deatherage, P.E.
Chief of Water Supply
