[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. NOTE: Monthly accounting, even during the winter
non-irrigation season, is required.
In the event that excess fully consumable water from the City of Greeley is used as a
replacement water source under this SWSP, the Applicant shall verify that the entity making
replacements (City of Greeley) has included the Applicant on their accounting and
submitted their accounting to the division office and the water commissioner.
14. Prior to the use of the Heaton Reservoir water or Greeley effluent water, the Applicant
is required to notify the water commissioner and obtain the water commissioner’s
approval at least 48 hours prior to use, or less if allowed by the water commissioner.
The applicant is required to obtain the water commissioner’s approval on a daily basis or
other interval as required by the water commissioner. These replacement supplies may only
be used at times when there is a continuous live stream between a downstream replacement
location and the point of depletion and there is no call for water within that reach.
15. Applicant shall follow the attached Augmentation Plan Accounting and Recharge Protocols
for the operation of this SWSP.
16. A staff gage must be installed in the recharge pond, approved by the water
commissioner, and a stage-capacity table provided in order to receive credit for water
delivered to recharge under any subsequent renewal of this SWSP.
17. Conveyance loss for delivery of augmentation water is subject to assessment and
modification as determined by the division engineer.
18. The division engineer, or his designated representative, will administer all such water
transported in the South Platte River or its tributaries under this SWSP, including water for
replacement of depletions, past intervening headgates to ensure that such water is not
intercepted or otherwise diminished in quantity by diversion, use or other interference by
intervening water rights and to assure that such water remains available and suitable for
Applicant’s uses under this SWSP, except when any intervening headgate is diverting the
entire flow of (“sweeping”) the river. In the event that delivery past headgates which sweep
the river requires the installation of a bypass structure or the use of an existing bypass
structure by agreement with a third-party, Applicant is responsible for either installing a
new bypass structure with a continuous recording measuring device(s) as approved by the
water commissioner or securing an agreement with a third-party to use an existing bypass
structure and providing such information and agreement to the division engineer.
19. The Division of Water Resources will not be responsible for any enforcement or
administration of third party agreements that are not included in a decree of the water
court.
20. Approval of this SWSP is contingent on the dry-up of the 130.8-acre portion of the
Applicant’s property as shown on the attached Figure 2. The lands to be dried up shall be
monumented by the Applicant to the satisfaction of the water commissioner. In accordance
with the attached Administration Protocol - Dry-Up of Irrigated Land the Applicant shall
provide an affidavit to the water commissioner and division engineer that confirms dry-up
during the 2017 irrigation season by October 31, 2017. A GIS shapefile outlining the dry-up
must accompany the affidavit and be emailed to [e-mail]. The
