GSL Sand St Gravel Substitute Water Supply Plan Page 3 of 5
October 19, 2021
The current financial warranty posted for the site is $368,590, which was set by DRMS after
approving an amendment request to change the reclamation plan from water storage to an inert
backfill operation on the property (to two feet above the water table). This action satisfied the
requirement that the Applicant diligently pursue compliance with their DRMS permit and the
requirements described in the April 30, 2010 letter DRMS sent to all gravel pit operators (attached),
specifically in regard to the required financial warranty at the site. With each successive SWSP
renewal request, the Applicant shall demonstrate continued diligence in this effort, including
maintaining satisfactory status in obtaining proper bonds through DRMS.

October 31, 2022 unless otherwise revoked or superseded by a decree. If this plan is not
decreed in water court by the SWSP expiration date, a renewal request must be submitted to
this office with the statutory fee of $257 no later than September 15, 2022. If a renewal
request is received after the expiration date of this plan, it will be considered a request for
a new SWSP and a filing fee of$1,593 will be required.
2. Well permit no. 57723-F is in good standing for the current use and exposed surface area at the
site in accordance with sections 37-90-137(2) and (11), C.R.S.
3. The total surface area of the groundwater exposed at the site must not exceed 0.90 acres during
the approval period of this SWSP, resulting in annual evaporative losses of 2.59 acre-feet.
4. This SWSP does not permit any water use for dust control, aggregate production or any other
purpose, other than evaporation.
5. Total consumption at the site must not exceed the aforementioned amounts unless an

replacement water may be aggregated in a single release to maximize beneficial use at the
direction and approval of the Water Commissioner.
8. All diversions shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the Division Engineer. The Applicant
shall install and maintain such measuring devices as required by the Division Engineer for
operation of this SWSP. In addition, the applicant shall maintain daily records of all diversions,
replacements, and the amount of water used for each particular purpose. The applicant shall
