REPLACEMENTS
All Rite leased fully consumable water from AGUA and will use this leased water as the source
of replacement water through March 31, 2021. A copy of the perpetual lease was provided
with a previous SWSP request and is attached to this letter.
ACCOUNTING
The attached Table 2 is the monthly accounting form that will be used for determining water
use and stream depletions. All Rite will submit the monthly pit area to AGUA, which will then
submit the monthly water accounting to the Division Engineer.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
I hereby approve the proposed SWSP in accordance with § 37-90-137 (11), C.R.S., subject to
the following conditions:
1. This SWSP is approved with the effective date of April 1, 2020 and shall be valid
through March 31, 2021 unless otherwise revoked or superseded by decree. Should an
additional SWSP be requested, such renewal request must be submitted to this office
and the Division 2 office (please copy Kathy Trask at [e-mail] and
[e-mail]) with the statutory fee per gravel pit (currently $257) by
February 1, 2021.
2. The total surface area of the groundwater at the North River Pit site must not exceed
7.42 acres during the SWSP period, which will result in a net annual evaporative
depletion of 29.87 acre-feet.
I Total consumption at the North River Pit site must not exceed the aforementioned
amounts unless a new SWSP application is made and approved for such.
4. No mining is proposed to occur at the site during the period of this SWSP. If Applicant
proposes to resume mining, the Applicant must first submit an application and obtain
approval for a new SWSP that adequately addresses all stream depletions that result
from the proposed mining activities.
5. The replacement water that is the subject of this plan cannot be sold or leased to any
other entity. As a condition of subsequent renewals of this SWSP, the replacement
water must be appurtenant to this site until a plan for augmentation is obtained. All
replacement water must be concurrent with depletions in quantity, timing and
location, except that releases aggregated at the discretion of the Division Engineer or
the Augmentation Coordinator may occur in a later month than the depletions.
Releases of water by AGUA pursuant to this plan shall be coordinated with the Division
Engineer and the Augmentation Coordinator. All releases of water by AGUA are subject
to transit losses, which shall be assessed by the Water Commissioner and Division
Engineer.
