ADMINISTRATION PROTOCOL <br />Dry -Up of Irrigated Land <br />Division One —South Platte River <br />As required by either a decreed change of water rights or a substitute water supply plan, a source of irrigation <br />water may be either permanently or temporarily removed from a parcel of land in order to make the historical <br />consumptive use portion of that water supply available for other uses, typically augmentation. This protocol <br />addresses the documentation required to administer the effective "dry -up". To the extent that one or more of the <br />following directives are in direct contradiction with a decree of the court, the terms of the decree must be <br />followed. <br />Permanent Dry -up Covenant <br />1. Must be decreed by the court. <br />2. Must be filed with clerk and recorder's office for the county wherein the land is located. <br />3. Must email a GIS shapefile to DiviAccounting!Estate.co.us that includes case number, WDID, and total <br />acreage permanently dried-up, along with any accompanying metadata. The shapefile must be in NAD83 <br />datum, UTM projection, Zone 13North. <br />4. Must address the issue of noxious weeds as required by §37-92-305(4.5)(a), C.R.S. and/or other county or <br />local ordinances. (DWR is not authorized to administer the issue of noxious weeds; this statement is, <br />therefore, simply informational). <br />Temporary Dry -up Agreement <br />1. Maybe made for a term that is not less than one irrigation season. <br />2. Unless otherwise stated in the approved SWSP, a written notification, reporting land of intended dry -up, <br />must be submitted prior to April 1 of each irrigation season to the division engineer, water commissioner <br />and DivlAccountine@state.co.us. Along with the written notification, a GIS shapefile reflecting the land <br />of intended dry -up must be submitted. The shapefile must be emailed to DivlAccounting@state.co.us. <br />The shapefile shall include case number, WDID, and acreage of dry -up, along with any accompanying <br />metadata. The shapefile must be in NAD83 datum, UTM projection, Zone 13North. <br />3. Unless otherwise stated in the approved SWSP, a written affidavit, affirming land actually dried up, must <br />be submitted prior to October 31 of each irrigation season to the division engineer, water commissioner <br />and DivlAccountine@state.co.us. Along with the written affidavit, a GIS shapefile, reflecting the dried up <br />acreage proclaimed in the affidavit, must be submitted. If the submitted affidavit indicates that the <br />intended and actual dry -up acreages are identical, then no GIS shapefile is required. The shapefile must <br />be emailed to DivlAccounting@state.co.us. The shapefile shall include case number, WDID, and acreage <br />of dry -up, along with any accompanying metadata. The shapefile must be in NAD83 datum, UTM <br />projection, Zone 13North. <br />4. Once written notice has been made to the division engineer and/or water commissioner, the dry -up <br />requirement is irrevocable during the current irrigation season regardless of whether or not the water <br />associated with the historical consumptive use is actually used. <br />Administration Protocol — Dry -up of Irrigation Land <br />February 2, 2012 <br />
