12. 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.
13. Conveyance loss for delivery of augmentation water is subject to assessment and
modification as determined by the division engineer.
14. Adequate accounting of depletions and replacement must be provided to the division
engineer in Greeley([e-mail]) and the water commissioner (Mark
Simpson, Mark. [e-mail]) on a monthly basis. Submitted accounting shall
conform to the Administration Protocol "Augmentation Plan Accounting, Division One -
South Platte River" (attached).
15. The Applicant shall perform an inspection and provide verification for all parcels of dried
up land used to generate augmentation credits during the term of this SWSP. The final
verification of dry up will be in the form of an affidavit signed by an individual having
personal knowledge of the dry up for the entire irrigation season for each parcel of land
used in this SWSP. In accordance with the attached protocol for dry -up of irrigated land,
the Applicant shall provide a written notification to the water commissioner and division
engineer by April 1, 2018 identifying the lands to be dried up for the 2018 irrigation
season. By October 31, 2018 the Applicant shall provide an affidavit to the water
commissioner and division engineer that identifies and confirms the lands that were dried
up during the 2017 irrigation season in order that the final determination of augmentation
credits for the irrigation season can be made along with mapping showing any revisions to
the dried-up acreage. A GIS shapefile must be emailed to
DNR [e-mail] for each dry -up notification and affidavit. The shapefile
shall include the WDID of the plan, the acreage of dry -up, and any accompanying
metadata. In addition, the datum must be NAD83 and the UTM projection must be Zone
13 North.
16. If reclamation of the mine site produces a permanent water surface exposing groundwater
to evaporation, an application for a plan for augmentation must be filed with the Division
1 Water Court at least three years prior to the completion of mining to include, but not be
limited to, long-term evaporation losses. If a lined pond results after reclamation,
replacement of lagged depletions shall continue until there is no longer an effect on
stream flow. Granting of this plan does not imply approval by this office of any such court
application(s).
17. Dewatering operations produce delayed depletions to the stream system. This SWSP
includes these lagged depletions associated with the Roberts Pit, Firestein Pit, Tigges Pit,
and North La Poudre Pit. These lagged depletions are partially offset with dewatering
accretions from active dewatering at the La Poudre Pit (Lee Parcel). Once dewatering at
the La Poudre Pit ceases, the delayed depletions must be addressed. A totalizing flow
meter is required on all dewatering discharge in order for the operator to claim any
accretion credits.
18. In accordance with amendments to § 25-8-202(7), C.R.S., and "Senate Bill 89-181 Rules
and Regulations" adapted on February 4, 1992, the State Engineer shall determine
whether the substitute supply 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.
