Turnpike Mining Resources Page 5 of 7 May 23, 2018 in case no. 2011CW292 (Rules). Installation and verification of accuracy of the totalizing flow meter, in accordance with the Rules, must be accomplished prior to operation under this plan. 9. The replacement water that is the subject of this SWSP cannot be sold or leased to any other entity. As a condition of subsequent renewals of this SWSP, the replacement water must be appurtenant to this site until a plan for augmentation is obtained. All replacement water must be concurrent with depletions in quantity, timing, and locations. 10. Adequate accounting of depletions and replacements must be provided to the division engineer in Greeley (Div1Accounting@state.co.us) and the water commissioner (Bob Carlson at Bob.Carlson@state.co.us) on a monthly basis. All amounts shall be in acre-feet. All submitted accounting must conform to the Administration Protocol “Augmentation Plan Accounting – Division One, South Platte River” (attached). In addition, the Applicant shall verify that the entity making replacements has included the Applicant on their accounting and submitted their accounting to the division office and the water commissioner; for this SWSP, that entity is the City of Louisville. 11. Conveyance loss for delivery of augmentation water to the point of depletion on the South Platte River is subject to assessment and modification as determined by the division engineer. 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. The name, mailing address, and phone number of the contact person who will be responsible for operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the accounting forms to the division engineer and water commissioner. 15. Dewatering at this site will produce delayed depletions to the stream system. As long as the pit is continuously dewatered, the water returned to the stream system should be adequate to offset the depletions attributable to the dewatering operation. If dewatering at the site ceases, the delayed depletions must be addressed. At least three years prior to completion of dewatering, a plan must be submitted that specifies how the post pumping dewatering depletions (including refilling of the pit) will be replaced, in time, place and amount. 16. All dewatering activities must be metered with a totalizing flow meter that is recorded and reported on the submitted monthly accounting. In addition if the dewatering operations have
