Morton Lakes Substitute Water Supply Plan Renewal (Amended) July 21, 2025 Page 14 of 17 Applicant shall not receive credit for replacement of depletions to the South Platte 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 below such diversion structure. 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. 17.The name, mailing address, and phone number of the contact person who will be responsible for operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the accounting forms to the Division Engineer and Water Commissioner. 18.Dewatering at this site will produce delayed depletions to the stream system. Dewatering operations must be measured by totalizing flow meters that can accurately show the monthly volume of dewatered water that is pumped and returns to the stream. At least three years prior to completion of dewatering, a plan must be submitted that specifies how the post pumping dewatering depletions (including refilling of the pit) will be replaced, in time, place and amount. 19.The Applicant must replace all depletions resulting from operations under this SWSP, including those depletions that are owed to the stream after the expiration date of this SWSP. The Applicant must maintain a valid SWSP approved under section 37-90- 137(11 ), C.R.S. until all lagged replacement obligations resulting from the gravel pit operation have been fully replaced in time, location, and amount.
