Ready Mix Concrete Substitute Water Supply Plan
February 13, 2020
Page 7 of 10
The Applicant shall ensure that the replacement water makes it to the calling water right.
The division engineer, or his designated representative, will administer all such water
transported in the South Platte River or its tributaries, including water for replacement of
depletions, past intervening headgates to ensure that such water is not intercepted or
otherwise diminished in quantity by diversion, use or other interference by intervening
water rights and to assure that such water remains available and suitable for Applicant's
uses under this plan, except when any intervening headgate is diverting the entire flow of
("sweeping") the river. In the event that delivery past headgates which sweep the river
requires the installation of a bypass structure or the use of an existing bypass structure by
agreement with a third-party, Applicant is responsible for either installing a new bypass
structure with a continuous recording measuring device(s) as approved by the water
commissioner or securing an agreement with a third-party to use an existing bypass
structure and providing such information and agreement to the division engineer.
