Mr. Paul Bruss, P.E. September 2, 2020 Page 4 of 6 water provided for use as augmentation water, including, where necessary, the historical consumptive use of each water right, and return flows from diversion of waters imported into the Arkansas River Basin or other fully consumable waters proposed for use as augmentation water. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL This SWSP is hereby approved pursuant to Section 37-90-137(11), C.R.S., subject to the following conditions: 1. This plan shall be valid August 1, 2020 through July 31, 2022, unless otherwise revoked or superseded by decree. If this plan will not be made absolute by a water court action by the plan's expiration date, a renewal request must be submitted to this office and the Division 2 office (please copy Bethany Arnold at bethany.arnoldCstate.co.us) with the statutory fee (currently $257) no later than June 1, 2022. 2. The approved lease from CWPDA must be provided to the Division Engineer and Water Commissioner by October 16, 2020. 3. Well permit nos. 75997-F and 82461-F were obtained for the current use and exposed pond surface area of the gravel pit in accordance with Section 37-90-137(2) and (11), C.R.S. According to the submittal, the exposed surface area of ground water associated with Phase 7 is a maximum of 10.0 acres; however, well permit No. 75997-F only allows for exposure of up to 5.0 acres. Therefore, a new well permit must be obtained in accordance with 537-90-137(2), C.R.S., and this SWSP for the groundwater depletions associated with evaporation from the pits at Phase 2 and Phase 7. The provisions of 537-90-137(2), C.R.S., prohibit the issuance of a permit for a well to be located within 600 feet of any existing well, unless the State Engineer finds that circumstances so warrant after a hearing in accordance with the procedural rules in 2CCR402-5. The hearing will be waived if you are able to obtain statements from the owners of all wells within 600 feet, verifying that they have no objection to your use of the proposed well. 4. Total consumption at the Pueblo East Pit shall not exceed the amounts given in the attached tables. 5. The total amount of water surface area at the Pueblo East Pit (combined between Phases 1, 2, and 7) shall not exceed 76.0 acres. Documentation of water surface area may be required by the Division Engineer in the form of an aerial photo evaluation or survey by a Professional Land Surveyor during the plan year or in years covered by subsequent renewals of this plan. 6. Approval of this SWSP is for the purposes and amounts stated herein. Additional uses and/or consumption of the water that is subject to this SWSP will be allowed only if a new SWSP is approved for those additional uses and/or amounts.
