Journey Ventures Pit SWSP Page 4 of 5 <br /> March 24, 2022 <br /> Division of Water Resources website on the "Services" --�- "Data St Information" page under the <br /> heading of Online Data Submittal. Accounting and reporting procedures are subject to approval and <br /> modification by the division engineer. Accounting forms need to identify the WDID number for each <br /> structure operating under this SWSP. Additional information regarding accounting requirements can <br /> be found in the attached Augmentation Plan Accounting Administration Protocol for Division <br /> One. NOTE: Monthly accounting, even during the winter non-irrigation season, is required. <br /> In addition, the Applicant shall verify that the entity making replacements has included the <br /> Applicant on their accounting and submitted their accounting to the division office and the water <br /> commissioner; for this SWSP, that entity is the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District. <br /> 10. Conveyance loss for delivery of augmentation water to the point of depletion on the South Platte <br /> River is subject to assessment and modification as determined by the division engineer. <br /> 11. In order to prevent injury to other water rights, the division engineer and water commissioner must <br /> be able to administer Applicants' replacement water past headgates on the river at times when <br /> those headgates would otherwise be legally entitled to divert all available flow in or "sweep" the <br /> South Platte River or its tributaries. Applicant shall not receive credit for replacement of depletions <br /> to the South Platte River below such diversion structures unless bypass and measurement structures <br /> are in place to allow the division engineer and water commissioner to confirm that Applicant's <br /> replacement water is delivered past the headgates. In the event that delivery past dry-up points <br /> requires the use of a structure for which a carriage or use agreement with a third party is required, <br /> Applicant shall be responsible for securing such agreement. Until such time as the Applicant <br /> provides a copy of the carriage or use agreement to the division engineer and water commissioner, <br /> no credit will be allowed for replacement of depletions to the South Platte River below such <br /> diversion structure. <br /> 12. The Division of Water Resources will not be responsible for any enforcement or administration of <br /> third party agreements that are not included in a decree of the water court. <br /> 13. The name, mailing address, and phone number of the contact person who will be responsible for <br /> operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the accounting forms to the division <br /> engineer and water commissioner. <br /> 14. All releases of replacement water must be sufficient to cover all out-of-priority depletions in time, <br /> place, and amount and must be made under the direction and/or the approval of the water <br /> commissioner. Notice must be provided and approval made by the water commissioner at least 48 <br /> hours prior to the release of replacement water, or as required by the water commissioner. <br /> 15. The release of replacement water may be aggregated to maximize beneficial use. The water <br /> commissioner and/or the division engineer shall determine the rate and timing of an aggregated <br /> release. <br /> 16. The approval of this SWSP does not relieve the Applicant and/or landowner of the requirement to <br /> obtain a Water Court decree approving a permanent plan for augmentation or mitigation to ensure <br /> the permanent replacement of all depletions, including long-term evaporation losses and lagged <br /> depletions after gravel mining operations have ceased. If reclamation of the mine site will produce <br /> a permanent water surface exposing groundwater to evaporation, an application for a plan for <br /> augmentation must be filed with the Division 1 Water Court at least three (3) years prior to the <br /> completion of mining to include, but not be limited to, long-term evaporation losses and lagged <br /> depletions. If a lined pond results after reclamation, replacement of lagged depletions shall <br /> continue until there is no longer an effect on stream flow. <br /> 17. The State Engineer may revoke this SWSP or add additional restrictions to its operation if at any <br /> time the State Engineer determines that injury to other vested water rights has occurred or will <br /> occur as a result of the operation of this SWSP. Should this SWSP expire without renewal or be <br />
