6. All accounting must provide a net impact summary that shows a daily balance of the out-of-priority <br /> depletions, accretions from each recharge site, volume of replacement water actually delivered and the <br /> resultant net impact. If necessary, a net impact must be shown for each applicable river and reach. <br /> While modeling may use a monthly step function to determine the depletions from pumping and accretions <br /> from recharge, the monthly result must then be divided by the number of days in the month in order to <br /> simulate a daily impact, as water rights are administered on a daily and not monthly basis. <br /> The accounting should indicate that the replacement water is equal to the depletion(s) such that the daily <br /> net impact (using the simulated daily numbers from the modeling) is not negative, unless the water <br /> commissioner approves less frequent aggregation of replacements without injury to downstream water <br /> rights. <br /> In the instance that aggregation is allowed, replacement is needed only for days with out-of-priority <br /> depletions. For example, if a well is out-of-priority for 15 days during a month, replacement must be made <br /> only for the 15 days the well is out-of-priority. Likewise, any simulated daily accretions will only count <br /> toward replacing the depletion on the days the well is out-of-priority. The accretions that accrue to the <br /> river when the well is in priority cannot be applied to different days with out-of-priority depletions. <br /> 7. The basis for determining that the depletions are out-of-priority should be data from the Division of Water <br /> Resources' Administrative Calls Et Analysis Tool (https://dwr.state.co.us/Tools/Ad ministrativeCalls/Active) <br /> and should be included in the accounting along with the relative steps in the determination of a structure <br /> being in or out of priority. The analysis may be done, unless otherwise limited by decree, for each well or <br /> groups of wells, provided the most junior water right associated with the group of wells is used as the <br /> reference water right for the group's out-of-priority status. <br /> 8. The accounting shall include all the required information for the month of the submittal in addition to the <br /> information submitted from previous months such that the information and monthly submittals are a <br /> cumulative report each month throughout the 12 month reporting period. <br /> 9. If a well is covered in multiple SWSPs or augmentation plans, the monthly meter readings must be the same <br /> in the accounting for each plan covering the subject well. The accounting for every plan covering the well <br /> shall state the proportionate and total pumping amount covered by each plan to assure all out-of-priority <br /> depletions are replaced. <br /> 10. The following additional accounting requirements apply when sources of replacement water are used in <br /> more than one plan. <br /> a. The entity providing replacement water to the stream is responsible for accounting for the total <br /> amount of replacement water and how much of the total went to each plan. <br /> b. The amount of replacement water claimed for a particular augmentation plan must match the <br /> amount in the accounting from the entity providing the replacement water to the stream. <br /> c. The amount of replacement water claimed for use by one or more water users shall not exceed the <br /> amount of replacement water physically and legally available. (See Administration Protocol - Use Of <br /> Unnamed Sources For Replacement for additional requirements concerning required notice and <br /> approval of sources of replacement not specifically described in a SWSP or augmentation plan). <br /> Questions can be submitted to Ask DWR by visiting the DWR homepage at: dwncolorado.2ov/ Page 3/3 <br />
