David M. Heintz S &t H Mine SWSP February 16, 2023 Page 8 of 11 7. All releases of replacement water must be sufficient to cover all out-of-priority depletions in time, place, and amount and must be made under the direction and/or the approval of the water commissioner. The release of replacement water may be aggregated to maximize beneficial use. The water commissioner and/or the division engineer shall determine the rate and timing of an aggregated release. 8. The Applicant shall provide daily accounting (including, but not limited to diversions, depletions, replacement sources, and river calls) on a monthly basis. The accounting must be uploaded to the CDSS Online Reporting Tool within 30 days of the end of the month for which the accounting applies (https://dwr.state.co.us/Tools/reportinQ). Instructions for using the tool are available on the Division of Water Resources website on the "Services" --* "Data &t Information" page under the heading of "Online Data Submittal". Accounting and reporting procedures are subject to approval and modification by the division engineer. Accounting forms need to identify the WDID number for each structure operating under this SWSP. NOTE: Monthly accounting, even during the winter non-irrigation season, is required. In the event that excess fully consumable water from the City of Greeley or the City of Aurora is used as a replacement water source under this SWSP, the Applicant shall verify that the entity making replacements (City of Greeley or City of Aurora) has included the Applicant on their accounting and submitted their accounting to the division office and the water commissioner. 9. The Applicant shall follow the accounting protocol as referenced in the attached document for the operation of this SWSP. 10. Prior to the use of the Heaton Reservoir water, Greeley 35' Avenue Reservoir water, City of Greeley effluent water, City of Aurora effluent water or the consumptive use from the Whitney Ditch water, the Applicant is required to notify the water commissioner and obtain the water commissioner's approval at least 48 hours prior to use, or less if allowed by the water commissioner. The applicant is required to obtain the water commissioner's approval on a daily basis or other interval as required by the water commissioner. Downstream replacement supplies may only be used at times when there is a continuous live stream between a downstream replacement location and the point of depletion and there is no call for water within that reach. 11. To verify the amount of free river water in storage in the Greeley 35th Avenue Reservoir the applicant must provide monthly reservoir accounting and the accounting must be approved by the division engineer and the water commissioner prior to use of the water from the Greeley 35th Avenue Reservoir. 12. 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.
