COLORADO <br /> Division of Water Resources <br /> ® Department of Natural Resources <br /> ADMINISTRATION PROTOCOL <br /> Augmentation Plan Accounting <br /> Division One - South Platte River <br /> Revised October, 2021 <br /> This protocol establishes the accounting and reporting process required to enable the division engineer's office to <br /> determine if depletions from all out-of-priority diversions are being replaced so as to prevent injury to vested <br /> water rights. The accounting must follow "cradle to grave" accounting practices that track exactly how the data <br /> are manipulated from raw data input (e.g., meter readings) to the resultant impact on the river. While this <br /> protocol is subordinate to any decreed language addressing specific accounting requirements, it generally <br /> addresses the minimum requirements of such accounting. <br /> The accounting must use the standard convention where a depletion is shown as a negative value and an accretion <br /> or other replacement source is shown as a positive value. The difference of depletions and replacements will then <br /> result in either a negative or positive impact on the stream. <br /> 1. Accounting must be submitted electronically to the division engineer and water commissioner through the <br /> online data submittal portal at the following link on our website: https://dwr.state.co.us/Tools/reporting. If <br /> not already registered, you will need to create a new account through that link. <br /> Typically, submittals are due within 30 days of the end of the month for which the accounting is being <br /> submitted, unless decreed otherwise. Additional data or more frequent submittals may be required by the <br /> water commissioner if required for administration. Accounting submittals not submitted through the online <br /> data submittal portal or questions regarding accounting submittals may be emailed to <br /> dnr_Div1 Accounting@state.co.us. <br /> The following naming convention must be used for all files submitted via email: <br /> "PIanWDID YYMMDD" <br /> where: PIanWDID is the WDID assigned by the division engineer's office <br /> YYMMDD corresponds to the date the accounting is submitted. <br /> As an example, the assigned WDID for the former GASP plan was 0103333. If accounting using Excel® was <br /> submitted for that plan on May 15, 2004, the file name would be: <br /> "01 03333 040515.xts" <br /> 2. The accounting must include a Contact Et Plan Information tab, that includes the 7-digit WDID for the plan <br /> for augmentation/SWSP, the 4-digit SWSP ID (if applicable), and contact information (i.e., name, phone <br /> number, email address) for the augmentation plan accounting including: <br /> a. the owner(s) of each augmented structure <br /> b. the person responsible for submitting the accounting <br /> c. the plan administrator and/or the plan attorney. <br /> Questions can be submitted to Ask DWR by visiting the DWR homepage at: dwr.colorado.eov/ Page 1/3 <br />
