NCCI Bennett Gravel Pit SWSP Page 4 of 6 August 17, 2021 3. The surface area of the groundwater exposed at the Bennett Pit site must not exceed 8.51 acres during this plan period, which results in a maximum evaporative annual loss of 21.8 acre-feet. 4. The annual water used for dust control at the Bennett Pit site shall not exceed 4.8 acre-feet, and the total product mined at the Bennett Pit site shall not exceed 411,357 tons/year which results in 12.1 acre-feet of water lost annually with the mined aggregate. 5. All pumping for dust control shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the Division Engineer. 6. Prior to commencing dewatering at the site from areas outside of an approved liner this SWSP must be amended to account for the depletions and accretions from such dewatering. 7. Total consumption at the Bennett Pit site must not exceed these aforementioned amounts unless an amendment is made to this SWSP. 8. Approval of this SWSP is for the purposes as stated herein. This office must first approve any additional uses for the water. Any future additional historical consumptive use credit given (e.g., agricultural water transfer) for this site must consider all previous credits given. 9. The replacement water that is the subject of this SWSP 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 locations. 10. Adequate accounting of depletions and replacements must be provided to the Division Engineer in Greeley (Div1 Arrounting @statP_ro_usl and the Water Commissioner (Jorge Vidal at JorgP_Vidalostate_ro-us) on a monthly basis. All amounts shall be in acre-feet. All submitted accounting must conform to the Administration Protocol "Augmentation Plan Accounting - Division One, South Platte River" (attached). In addition, the Applicant shall verify that the entity making replacements has included the Applicant on their accounting and submitted their accounting to the Division office and the Water Commissioner. For this SWSP, that entity is the City of Fort Lupton. 11. Conveyance loss for delivery of augmentation water to the point of depletion on the South Platte River is subject to assessment and modification as determined by the Division Engineer. 12. The Division Engineer, or their designated representative, will administer all such water transported in the South Platte River or its tributaries under this SWSP, 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 SWSP, 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.
