Releases of water by AGUA pursuant to this plan shall be coordinated with the <br /> Division Engineer and the Augmentation Coordinator and shall equal or exceed the <br /> depletions to be replaced on a monthly basis. <br /> B. Accounting of water in this plan, including excavated area, area of actual <br /> ground water exposure, pumping, stream depletions, and replacement water <br /> deliveries must be provided to the Division Engineer <br /> (Augmentation.Coo rdinator@state.co,us) on forms and at times acceptable to them. <br /> Said accounting must be received by the 10' of the month following the month being <br /> reported. The name, mailing address, and phone number of the contact person who is <br /> responsible for operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the <br /> accounting forms. Accounting and reporting procedures are subject to approval and <br /> modification by the Division Engineer. <br /> 9. The approval of this SWSP does not relieve the Applicant and/or landowner of <br /> the requirement to obtain a Water Court decree approving a permanent plan for <br /> augmentation or mitigation to ensure the permanent replacement of all depletions, <br /> Including long-term evaporation losses and lagged depletions after gravel mining <br /> operations have ceased. If reclamation of the mine site will produce a permanent <br /> water surface exposing ground water to evaporation, an application for a plan for <br /> augmentation must be filed with the Division 2 Water Court at least three (3) years <br /> prior to the completion of mining to include, but not be limited to, long-tern <br /> evaporation losses and lagged depletions. If a lined pond results after reclamation, <br /> replacement of lagged depletions shall continue until there is no longer an effect on <br /> stream flow. Granting of this plan does not imply approval by this office of any such <br /> court application(s). <br /> 10. The State Engineer may revoke this SWSP or add additional restrictions to its <br /> operation if at any time the State Engineer determines that injury to other vested <br /> water rights has occurred or will occur as a result of the operation of this SWSP. Should <br /> this SWSP expire without renewal or be revoked prior to adjudication of a permanent <br /> plan for augmentation, all use of water under this SWSP must cease immediately and <br /> the Applicant shall obtain and present to this office an alternate source of <br /> replacement water. <br /> 11. Dewatering at this site will produce delayed depletions to the stream system. <br /> As long as the pit is continuously dewatered, the water returned to the stream system <br /> should be adequate to offset the depletions attributable to the dewatering operation. <br /> Once dewatering at the site ceases, the delayed depletions must be addressed. <br /> Accordingly, dewatering is required to continue during the tern of this approval. At <br /> least three years prior to completion of dewatering, a plan must be submitted that <br /> specifies how the post pumping dewatering depletions (including refilling of the pit) <br /> will be replaced, in time, place and amount. If dewatering of the site is discontinued, <br /> the pit would fill and cause additional depletions to the stream system due to <br /> increased evaporation. <br />
