modification will cause the Recharge Pond to intercept ground water. The objectors <br /> shall have 35 days from the date of the Applicants' notice to provide the Division <br /> Engineer with comments regarding the Applicants' proposed modification. The <br /> Division Engineer shall consider any comments provided by the objectors, and shall <br /> provide the Applicants with a written approval or denial of the Applicants' proposed <br /> modification within 60 days of receiving the notice required by this paragraph. <br /> 12.B. Delivery of Augmentation Water to Recharge: Water shall be diverted <br /> under the Subject Water Rights at the river headgate of the Canon Irrigating Ditch, <br /> carried through the Canon Irrigating Ditch, and diverted into the Recharge Pond. <br /> Water may only be normally diverted under the Subject Water Rights between April <br /> 1 and November 1 of each year ("Irrigation Season"). However, pursuant to State <br /> Engineer Policy or decree entered in Case No. 15CW3024, the Division Engineer <br /> may have the ability to alter the presumptive irrigation season. The Applicants shall <br /> measure the amount of water diverted into the Recharge Pond at a location and in a <br /> manner approved by the Division Engineer. After water has been diverted into the <br /> Recharge Pond, the water shall not be removed from the Recharge Pond. <br /> To assure timely recharge of the unconfined aquifer from which Well No. Aug. 1 <br /> withdraws water, the Applicants shall deliver water into the Recharge Pond at least <br /> twice during each Irrigation Season. Ideally, one of the required deliveries will take <br /> place in April or May, and the other in August or September. <br /> 12.B. Evaporation: Evaporation from the recharge pond shall be calculated as <br /> 0.38 acre-feet per year unless the size of the pond is altered pursuant to Paragraph <br /> 12.A.1 above. <br /> 12.C. Volume of Allowable Pumping: The amount of water which may be <br /> pumped from Well No. Aug. 1 shall be equal to the amount of pumping credit <br /> generated by recharging water diverted under the Subject Water Rights to the <br /> unconfined aquifer through the Recharge Pond. Well No. Aug 1 may pump only <br /> when the Applicants have accumulated pumping credit available under this plan for <br /> augmentation. <br /> 12.C.1. Calculation of Pumping Credit: The first 0.38 acre-feet diverted into the <br /> Recharge Pond each Irrigation Season shall be counted as evaporation. Of the <br /> remaining water diverted into the Recharge Pond each Irrigation Season, 50% shall <br /> be relinquished to the stream to replace return flows associated with historical use of <br /> the Subject Water Rights, and 50% will constitute pumping credit. <br /> 12.C.2. Carry-Over of Pumping Credit: Pumping credit accrued within an <br /> Irrigation Season shall be available through December 31 of the calendar year in <br /> which that Irrigation Season occurs, and may be carried over into the next calendar <br /> year as follows. The Applicants may pump from Well No. Aug. 1 any pumping credit <br /> accrued within that year's Irrigation Season plus any unused pumping credit accrued <br /> within the previous year's Irrigation Season, provided the Division Engineer has <br /> 30'3952'-4 <br /> 4 Summit Engineering Job Num er: 240328CE 34 <br /> 719-589-6147 <br /> Alamosa, CO <br />
