Ms. Jennifer S. Lindahl Page 7 of 9 <br />December 3, 2018 <br />appurtenant to this site until a plan for augmentation is obtained. All replacement water <br />must be concurrent with depletions in quantity, timing, and locations. <br />9. Adequate accounting of depletions and replacements must be provided to the division <br />engineer in Greeley (Div1Accounting@state.co.us) and the water commissioners (Jorge Vidal <br />at Jorge.Vidal@state.co.us and Brent.Schantz@state.co.us) on a monthly basis. All amounts <br />shall be in acre-feet. All submitted accounting must conform to the Administration Protocol <br />“Augmentation Plan Accounting – Division One, South Platte River” (attached). <br />In addition, the Applicant shall verify that the entity making replacements has included the <br />Applicant on their accounting and submitted their accounting to the division office and the <br />water commissioner; for this SWSP, that entity is the City of Aurora. <br /> <br />10. Conveyance loss for delivery of augmentation water to the point of depletion on the South <br />Platte River is subject to assessment and modification as determined by the division <br />engineer. <br /> <br />11. The division engineer, or his designated representative, will administer all such water <br />transported in the South Platte River or its tributaries under this SWSP, including water for <br />replacement of depletions, past intervening headgates to ensure that such water is not <br />intercepted or otherwise diminished in quantity by diversion, use or other interference by <br />intervening water rights and to assure that such water remains available and suitable for <br />Applicant’s uses under this SWSP, except when any intervening headgate is diverting the <br />entire flow of (“sweeping”) the river. In the event that delivery past headgates which sweep <br />the river requires the installation of a bypass structure or the use of an existing bypass <br />structure by agreement with a third-party, Applicant is responsible for either installing a new <br />bypass structure with a continuous recording measuring device(s) as approved by the water <br />commissioner or securing an agreement with a third-party to use an existing bypass structure <br />and providing such information and agreement to the division engineer. <br /> <br />12. The Division of Water Resources will not be responsible for any enforcement or <br />administration of third party agreements that are not included in a decree of the water <br />court. <br /> <br />13. The name, mailing address, and phone number of the contact person who will be responsible <br />for operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the accounting forms to the <br />division engineer and water commissioner. <br />14. Dewatering at Morton-Holton Lakes sites will produce delayed depletions to the stream <br />system. As long as the pits are continuously dewatered at a relatively constant rate, the <br />water returned to the stream system should be adequate to offset the depletions <br />attributable to the dewatering operation. Dewatering operations must be measured by <br />totalizing flow meters that can accurately show the monthly volume of dewatered water <br />that is pumped and returns to the stream. If dewatering at the site ceases, or is <br />significantly reduced, the monthly meter readings will be used to determine post pumping <br />depletions that must be replaced. At least three years prior to completion of dewatering, a <br />plan must be submitted that specifies how the post pumping dewatering depletions <br />(including refilling of the pit) will be replaced, in time, place and amount. <br /> <br />15. In accordance with the letter dated April 30, 2010 (copy attached) from the Colorado <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (“DRMS”), all sand and gravel mining operators <br />must comply with the requirements of the Colorado Reclamation Act and the Mineral Rules
