Water Division 2, Water District 17 SWSP ID 772, WDI D 1707803 Approval Period: April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021 Contact Information: 720-534-0642; nathan.phelps@deereault.com Dear Mr. Phelps: We have reviewed your letter of February 11, 2020 requesting approval for a substitute water supply plan ("SWSP") for a sand and gravel pit to be operated by All Rite Paving and Redi Mix, Inc. ("AU Rite" or "Applicant"), on leased property in accordance with § 37-90-137(11), C.R.S. The required review fee of $257 for the SWSP has been received and given receipt no. 3690711. The original plan for the North River Pit was approved on July 28, 1999 for the period through June 30, 2001 and it was most recently renewed in a letter dated August 16, 2018 for the period April 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020. SWSP OPERATION The North River Pit is located in the SE 1/4 of Section 36, Township 23 South, Range 55 West and in the NE 1/4 of Section 1, Township 24 South, Range 55 West of the 6th P.M. This SWSP seeks to replace depletions resulting from the mining operations at the North River Pit. According to the information provided, no mining is planned during 2020, thus the only depletions at this site during this SWSP period are evaporation from exposed ground water. For this SWSP period, replacement water for the North River Pit's depletions will be provided by leased water from the Arkansas Groundwater Users Association ("AGUA"). The gravel pit is permitted under Well Permit No. 52701-F (WDID 1706491) and this permit remains valid for this site. In accordance with the letter dated April 30, 2010 from the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety ("DRMS"), all sand and gravel mining operators must comply with the requirements of the Colorado Reclamation Act and the Mineral Rules and Regulations for the protection of water resources. The April 30, 2010 letter from DRMS requires that you provide information to DRMS to demonstrate you can replace long term injurious stream depletions OF C�10 P 1313 Sherman Street, Room 821, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3581 www.colorado.gov/water Jared S.
