The site was approved for full release from DRMS, however this SWSP will continue to replace lagged depletions from previous mining until there is no longer an effect on the stream. The liner of the Everist's Star Water Resource Reservoir (WDID 0303325) was approved by the State Engineer's Office on December 16, 2014 (amended March 6, 2015). A water storage right for Everist's Star Water Resource Reservoir was decreed by the Division 1 Water Court in case no. 2013CW3168. Two other cells within the former Lupton Meadow Pit site (DRMS M2002-104) identified as Everist Reservoir No. 1 (WDID 0203046) and Meadow West Reservoir (WDID 0203932) were lined and have storage rights decreed in case no. 2013CW3080. The acreage associated with these two reservoirs has been released from the permitted mining area of the Fort Lupton Sand and Gravel Pit. Additionally two other lined cells identified as the Swingle-North (WDID 0203931) and Parker-Panowitz (WDID 0203356) located on the northern side of the Fort Lupton Sand and Gravel Pit have storage rights decreed in case no. 2002CW330. The Swingle North Reservoir's slurry wall liner was approved by our office on March 27, 2013 as a provisional liner. By the liner approval letter, the Division of Water Resources ("DWR") will recognize the liner for the remainder of mining operations, however prior to its use as a water storage reservoir, the operator must perform a final leak test once mining is complete and the site is at final grade. The Parker-Panowitz Reservoir's slurry wall liner was approved by our office on February 4, 2014.
