stream flow.
11. The State Engineer may revoke this SWSP or add additional restrictions to its operation
if at any time the State Engineer determines that injury to other vested water rights
has occurred or will occur as a result of the operation of this SWSP.
12. Dewatering is not expected to occur at these sites during the period of this SWSP,
therefore dewatering shall not occur unless an amendment to this SWSP is approved.
13. To assure that depletions from groundwater evaporation do not occur in the
unforeseen event, or events, that would lead to the abandonment of the pits, a bond
through DRMS, in the amount of $974,000.00 for the Parker-Dersham Pit and
$711,750.00 for the Baseline Pit, for lining or backfilling of the each pit has been
obtained. Therefore, in case of abandonment the bond can finance the completion of
the lining of the pit or the backfilling, thus preventing depletions to the stream
system.
14. In accordance with amendments to Section 525-8-202-(7), C.R.S. and "Senate Bill
89-181 Rules and Regulations" adopted on February 4, 1992, the State Engineer shall
determine if this substitute water supply plan is of a quality to meet requirements of
use to which the senior appropriation receiving the substitute supply has normally
been put. As such, water quality data or analyses may be requested at any time to
determine if the requirement of use of the senior appropriator is met.
15. The decision of the state engineer shall have no precedential or evidentiary force,
shall not create any presumptions, shift the burden of proof, or serve as a defense in
any water court case or any other legal action that may be initiated concerning the
substitute water supply plan. This decision shall not bind the State Engineer to act in
a similar manner in any other applications involving other plans or in any proposed
renewal of this plan, and shall not imply concurrence with any findings of fact or
conclusions of law contained herein, or with the engineering methodologies used by
the Applicant.
Should you have any questions, please contact Ailis Thyne of this office or Dean
Santistevan of our Division office in Greeley at [phone].
Sincerely,
for
Jeff Deatherage, P.E.
Chief of Water Supply
