Holcim South Platte Combined SWSP June 18, 2024 Plan IDs 3614, 4773, 3624, 4772, 4616, 3437, 3376, 3650, 3668, 5475, 5829, i± 6243 Page 22 of 26 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. Submitted accounting shall conform to the attached Augmentation Plan Accounting Protocol. In addition, the Applicant shall verify that each entity making replacements for this plan have included this plan in their respective accounting submitted to the division engineer. For this plan period those entities are the City of Greeley, City of Longmont, Centennial Water and Sanitation District, City of Westminster, City of Thornton, and the City of Aurora. 14. All return structures utilized in this plan must have a measuring device equipped with an electronic recording device and must be approved by the water commissioner prior to use. In addition, all charts or other output data associated with each measuring device utilized in this plan must be provided in a timely manner acceptable to all of the water commissioners identified herein. 15. Prior to using a downstream replacement source for upstream depletions, or prior to operating any administrative exchange, the Applicant shall be required to provide 48 hours advanced notice and obtain prior approval from the Water Commissioners. In addition, the Applicant will coordinate deliveries of changed shares back to the river from the Whitney Ditch, the Fulton Ditch, the Brighton Ditch, and the Greeley Irrigation Canal with the Water Commissioners. Holcim will track and provide the amount of water available, the amount of water requested, and the amount of water delivered on a daily basis or as required by the water commissioner. Any use of downstream replacement sources for upstream depletions, or any operation of an administrative exchange, can only operate when there is sufficient streamflow and no intervening call for water within the impacted reach. 16. 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 or its tributaries 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 or its tributaries below such diversion structure. 17. The Division of Water Resources will not be responsible for any enforcement or administration of third party agreements that are not included in a decree of the water court. 18. The name, address, and phone number of a contact person who will be responsible for the operation and accounting of this plan must be provided to the Water Commissioner(s) and the Division Engineer. 19. Subject to prior approval by the division engineer, the Applicant may lease or purchase additional replacement water as identified in this SWSP request. Such additional sources of replacement water may only be used in this SWSP if the Applicant complies with the attached Division One Administration Protocol "Use of Replacement Sources Not Specifically Identified in an SWSP or Augmentation Plan".
