7. All diversions for dust suppression must be metered in compliance with the "Amended
Rules Governing the Measurement of Tributary Ground Water Diversions Located in the
Arkansas River Basin".
8. Replacement water shall be made available to cover all out-of-priority depletions in
time, place, and amount and shall be made available under the direction and approval
of the Water Commissioner and Division Engineer. Prior to cessation of dewatering
the Phase 7 Pit, the Applicant shall coordinate projected releases of replacement
water with the Water Commissioner and Division Engineer. The replacement water
that is the subject of this plan cannot be sold or leased to any other entity.
9. Conveyance loss for delivery of augmentation water to the Arkansas River is subject to
assessment and modification as determined by the Division Engineer.
10. When applicable, Applicant will submit augmentation replacement requests via the
"Arkansas Basin Water Operations Dashboard"
(http://div2waterops.com/AnonymousHome). To set up an account on the "Arkansas
Basin Water Operations Dashboard", email the River and Reservoir Operations
Coordinator ([e-mail]) with: user name, user email address, user
phone number, and indicate SWSP name (Or SWSP group WDID) or decree number.
Once the applicant's request is made through the "Arkansas Basin Water Operations
Dashboard", the Division Engineer's Office will review and either approve or deny the
request. This decision will be emailed to applicants through the "Dashboard" to
document this transaction.
11. The Applicant shall provide daily accounting (including, but not limited to diversions,
and river calls) on a monthly basis. The accounting must be submitted to the Division
Engineer via the online submittal tool. Please contact Rachel Zancanella at
rachel.zancanellaCstate.co.us to set up an account with the subject line "Pueblo East
Pit (Castle Concrete) SWSP". Accounting must be submitted within 10 days after the
end of the month for which the accounting applies. Accounting and reporting
procedures are subject to approval and modification by the Division Engineer.
12. Dewatering of the Phase 7 pit will produce delayed depletions to the stream system.
As long as the Phase 7 pit is continuously dewatered, the water returned to the stream
system should be adequate to offset the depletions attributable to the dewatering
operation. Once dewatering at the Phase 7 pit ceases, the delayed depletions must be
addressed. If dewatering of the Phase 7 pit is discontinued, the pit would fill and
cause additional depletions to the stream system due to increased evaporation.
13. The approval of this SWSP does not relieve the Applicant and/or landowner of the
requirement to obtain a Water Court decree approving a permanent plan for
augmentation or mitigation to ensure the permanent replacement of all depletions,
including long-term evaporation losses and lagged depletions after gravel mining
operations have ceased. If reclamation of the mine site will produce a permanent
water surface exposing groundwater to evaporation, an application for a plan for
augmentation must be filed with the Division 2 Water Court at least three (3) years
prior to the completion of mining to include, but not be limited to, long-term
