Goose Haven Reservoir#2 Expansion SWSP Page 4 of 7 <br /> February 1, 2024 <br /> Rules and Regulations for the protection of water resources. As the DRMS permit holder and land <br /> owner is the City of Lafayette, a bond to cover the cost of backfilling or lining the pit is not required <br /> as Lafayette is a governmental agency. As the final reclamation plan is a lined reservoir, an <br /> augmentation plan is not required to be filed in court. <br /> Conditions of Approval <br /> I hereby approve this SWSP, in accordance with section 37-90-137(11), C.R.S., subject to the <br /> following conditions: <br /> 1. This SWSP shall be valid for the period of January 26, 2023 through December 31, 2023, <br /> unless otherwise revoked, or superseded by decree. A SWSP renewal request for 2024 must <br /> be submitted to this office with the statutory fee (currently $257) by March 1, 2024. If a <br /> renewal request is received after the March 1, 2024 date this plan, may be considered a <br /> request for a new SWSP and the $1,593 filing fee will apply. <br /> 2. A new well permit must be obtained for this pit in accordance with sections 37-90-137(2) <br /> and (11), C.R.S., since the current well permit no. 79766-F issued for the site is only for 2 <br /> acres of groundwater exposed and 20 acre-feet of depletions. Well permit application (receipt <br /> no. 10033167) was submitted on December 9, 2023 and this application is pending evaluation. <br /> The provisions of section 37-90-137(2), C.R.S., prohibit the issuance of a permit for a well to be <br /> located within 600 feet of any existing well, unless the State Engineer finds that circumstances <br /> so warrant after a hearing held in accordance with the procedural rules in 2 CCR 402-5. This <br /> hearing may be waived if you are able to obtain statements from the owners of all wells within <br /> 600 feet, verifying that they have no objection to your use of the proposed well. Should a new <br /> well permit be denied for reasons of 600 foot spacing, or any other legitimate reason, approval <br /> of this substitute water supply plan will be canceled. <br /> 3. The total surface area of the groundwater exposed at the site during the period of this SWSP <br /> must not exceed 3.61 acres in Cell 2A, 3.61 acres in Cell 2, and 2.24 acres in Cell 4, resulting in <br /> evaporative losses of 9.07 acre-feet for Cell 2A, 9.07 acre-feet for Cell 2, and 5.63 acre-feet for <br /> Cell 4. <br /> 4. Computation of evaporation under this SWSP was reduced during the ice covered period. <br /> However, for the purpose of this SWSP, the Applicant shall replace the net evaporative <br /> depletions from the exposed groundwater surface area that occurred during the assumed ice <br /> covered period (the months of December and January) for any time that the pit is not completely <br /> covered by ice. <br /> 5. The total amount of water used for dust control at the site during the period of this SWSP must <br /> not exceed 3.75 acre-feet. All pumping for dust control will be tracked by the operator by <br /> keeping a log of the number of fills the water truck makes. This shall be included on submitted <br /> accounting. A totalizing flow meter may be required on dust control operations at the discretion <br /> of the Water Commissioner or Division Engineer. <br /> 6. Total consumption at the site must not exceed the aforementioned amounts unless an <br /> amendment is made to this SWSP. <br /> 7. Approval of this SWSP is for the purposes as stated herein. Any additional uses of this water <br /> must first be approved by this office. <br /> 8. All releases of replacement water must be sufficient to cover all out-of-priority depletions in <br /> time, place, and amount and must be made under the direction and/or the approval of the <br />
