I understand that the lease <br /> is already executed, however the lease terms go through December 2023 and believe it <br /> might make sense to just extend the plan through December 31, 2023 and wrap the <br /> remaining 3.066 acre-feet (which is only 8.8% of the remaining depletions as opposed to the <br /> currently proposed plan of wrapping the remaining 16% of depletions) into 2023. Please let <br /> me know your thoughts on that approach. <br /> I <br /> Thanks, <br /> Wenli Dickinson, P.E. <br /> Water Resource Engineer <br /> P 303.866.3581 x8206 <br /> 1313 Sherman St, Suite 821, Denver, CO 80203 <br /> wenli.dickinson@state.co.us I dwr.colorado.gov <br /> On Wed, Jun 14, 2023 at 10:32 AM Jared Dains <jareddains@applegategroup.com>wrote: <br /> Wenli, <br /> I was very clear on the approach I was proposing to take when I was coordinating with the DWR in late February. <br /> I laid out the approach in painstaking detail to ensure I had buy-in from the DWR before I proceeded to execute <br /> the lease with the water provider. The lease is signed and paid for, and it is incredibly frustrating to have the DWR <br /> retract that initial approval that was expressly sought and clearly given. <br /> I understand the purpose of the DWR's 95% depletion replacement policy. However it is just that...a policy. <br /> Nothing is written into law, and therefore the DWR does have the flexibility to amend its policy when the <br /> circumstances make sense. And in this case, I strongly believe the circumstances do make sense to amend the <br /> policy. The rate of on-going depletions as 0.33 gpm or less...it benefits absolutely no one by dragging out the <br /> replacements out into the future. <br /> I'm respectfully requesting that the DWR please reconsider its position in light of the specific circumstances of this <br /> plan and allow the SWSP to be approved as proposed. <br /> https://mail.google.com/mai I/b/ALGkdOxhJsspQ9 WQy6M8ZvEdoQU rzvydSw2AkGT9zE9ZwUt2J rQJ/u/O/?i k=96aa8a08c9&view=pt&search=al I&permt... 3/8 <br />
