<br />assessed from the point of release to the point of depletion/replacement.
<br />9. 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 these sites until a plan or plans for augmentation
<br />are obtained. All replacement water must be concurrent with depletions in quantity, timing,
<br />and locations. According to an affidavit dated February 29, 2012, the Applicant dedicated the
<br />13.5 shares of the Whitney Ditch Company and 96 shares of the Fulton Irrigating Ditch
<br />Company as replacement water solely for this SWSP for as long as there are depletions at
<br />these gravel pit sites or until such time as another replacement source is obtained. For the
<br />purposes of this SWSP, this affidavit will be accepted for the dedication of the shares;
<br />however, if the State Engineer determines that a different affidavit or dedication process is
<br />necessary to assure proper dedication of the shares, additional information may be required
<br />prior to future SWSP approvals.

<br />by the division engineer for operation of this SWSP. In addition, the applicant shall maintain
<br />daily records of all diversions, replacements, and the amount of water used for each
<br />particular purpose. The applicant shall provide a report of these records to the division
<br />engineer and the water commissioner on a monthly basis, or more frequent as required, on a

<br />replacement of depletions, past intervening headgates to ensure that such water is not
