Nix Gravel Pit SWSP August 30, 2023 Page 5 of 8 5. The Applicant must replace all out-of-priority depletions resulting from operation under this SWSP, including those lagged depletions that occur to the stream after the expiration date of this SWSP. 6. The Applicant should consider the effects of groundwater mounding and the need for interceptor drains due to construction of the liners around the pits. 7. As part of any renewal of this SWSP the Applicant must specify the proposed replacement source that will be used to replace all lagged depletions that result from operation under this SWSP, including those that extend beyond the approval period of the SWSP. If the intent is to obtain a short term lease for such future replacement water an executed lease for depletions that extend beyond the SWSP approval period is not required, however the Applicant must demonstrate that there is a reasonable likelihood that such a lease could be obtained. 8. Approval of this SWSP is for the purposes as stated herein. This office must first approve any additional uses for the water. Any future additional historical consumptive use credit given (e.g., agricultural water transfer) for this site must consider all previous credits given. 9. The replacement water that is the subject of this SWSP cannot be sold or leased to any other entity. As a condition of subsequent renewals of this SWSP, the replacement water must be appurtenant to this site until a plan for augmentation is obtained. All replacement water must be concurrent with depletions in quantity, timing, and locations. 10. 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/reporting). Instructions for using the tool are available on the Division of Water Resources website on the "Services" —> "Data St 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 addition, the Applicant shall verify that the entity making replacements has included the Applicant on their accounting and submitted their accounting to the division office and the water commissioner; for this SWSP, that entity is the United Water and Sanitation District. 11. Conveyance loss for delivery of augmentation water to the point of depletion on Saint Vrain Creek is subject to assessment and modification as determined by the division engineer. 12. In order to prevent injury to other water rights, the Division Engineer and Water Commissioner must be able to administer Applicants' replacement water past headgates on the river at times when those headgates would otherwise be legally entitled to divert all available flow in or "sweep" the South Platte River or its tributaries. Applicant shall not receive credit for replacement of depletions to the South Platte River below such diversion structures unless bypass and measurement structures are in place to allow the Division Engineer and Water Commissioner to confirm that Applicant's replacement water is delivered past the headgates. In the event that delivery past dry-up points requires the use of a structure for which a carriage or use agreement with a third party is required, Applicant shall be responsible for securing such agreement. Until such time as the Applicant provides a copy of the carriage or use agreement to the Division Engineer and Water Commissioner, no credit will be allowed for replacement of depletions to the South Platte River below such diversion structure.
