Bucklen Pit SWSP November 7, 2018 <br /> Plan ID 3183 Page 7 of 9 <br /> 3. The total surface area of the groundwater exposed at the Bucklen Pit after December 31, <br /> 1980 shall not exceed 12.54 acres, which results in a maximum annual evaporative loss of <br /> 34.6 acre-feet. <br /> 4. The annual amount of water used for operational purposes at the Bucklen Pit shall not exceed <br /> 2.24 acre-feet, estimated as 1.50 acre-feet for dust suppression and 0.74 acre-feet lost with <br /> the production of 50,000 tons of mined product. <br /> 5. Total consumption at the Bucklen Pit must not exceed these aforementioned amounts unless <br /> an amendment is made to this SWSP. <br /> 6. All diversions shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the division engineer. The <br /> Applicant shall install and maintain such measuring devices as required by the division <br /> engineer for operation of this SWSP. <br /> 7. Approval of this SWSP is for the purposes as stated herein. Any additional uses for which the <br /> water may be used must first be approved by this office. Any future additional historical <br /> consumptive use credit given (e.g. agricultural water transfer) for this site must consider all <br /> previous credits given. <br /> 8. Applicant shall replace the net evaporative depletions from the exposed groundwater surface <br /> area that may occur during the assumed ice covered period (December through January) for <br /> any time that the exposed ground water is not completely covered by ice. <br /> 9. The replacement water that is the subject of this plan cannot be sold or leased to any other <br /> entity, unless excess replacement credits exist and the Applicant has obtained written <br /> approval from the division engineer or water commissioner for the use of such excess <br /> replacement credits. The replacement water must be appurtenant to this site for the <br /> duration of this SWSP or until a plan for augmentation is obtained. <br /> 10. The Applicant has proposed to use for augmentation, water available from any other source <br /> legally available for augmentation and which can be provided in the amount, at the time, and <br /> at the location required to replace out of priority depletions from the Bucklen Pit. Additional <br /> sources of replacement water in this SWSP may only be used if the Applicant complies with <br /> the attached Division One Administration Protocol "Use of Replacement Sources Not <br /> Specifically Identified in an SWSP or Augmentation Plan". <br /> 11. All releases of replacement water must be sufficient to cover all out-of-priority depletions in <br /> time, place, and amount and must be made under the direction and/or the approval of the <br /> water commissioner. Notice must be provided and approval made by the water commissioner <br /> at least 48 hours prior to the release of replacement water, or as required by the water <br /> commissioner. The release of replacement water may be aggregated to maximize beneficial <br /> use. The water commissioner and/or the division engineer shall determine the rate and <br /> timing of an aggregated release. <br /> 12. The water attributable to the six (6) shares of the Greeley Irrigation Company must continue <br /> to be diverted in priority at the ditch and then measured back to the Cache La Poudre River <br /> in the vicinity of the Bucklen Pit. Adequate measuring devices acceptable to the water <br /> commissioner must be installed. <br /> 13. Conveyance loss for delivery of augmentation water is subject to assessment and modification <br /> as determined by the water commissioner or division engineer. <br />
