Peter Foster and Jonah Howe, Wright Water Engineers Page 11 of 14 <br /> Re: Gunnison West Gravel Pit SWSP, Amendment No. 1 <br /> December 12, 2025 <br /> specifies how the post pumping dewatering depletions (including refilling of the pits) <br /> will be replaced in time, location, and amount. <br /> 13.The Applicant shall provide written notification to the Water Commissioner and <br /> Division Engineer by May 1, 2026 identifying the lands to be dried up for the 2026 <br /> irrigation season, and by May 1, 2027, identifying the lands to be dried up for the <br /> 2027 irrigation season. The Applicant shall perform inspections and provide <br /> verification that the land associated with the changed water right in this SWSP has <br /> been removed from irrigation during the term of this SWSP. Final verification of dry- <br /> up must be in the form of an affidavit signed by an individual with personal <br /> knowledge of the dry-up for the entire irrigation season for each parcel of land <br /> associated with the change of water right in this SWSP. By October 31, 2026, and <br /> again by October 31, 2027, the Applicant shall provide an affidavit to the Water <br /> Commissioner and Division Engineer that identifies and confirms any lands that were <br /> dried up during the 2026 and 2027 irrigation seasons in order that final determination <br /> of augmentation credits for the irrigation seasons can be made, along with mapping <br /> showing any revisions to the dried-up acreage. <br /> The HCU attributed to the changed surface water right(s) under this SWSP shall not <br /> include groundwater contributions. As a result, the HCU credit calculated for the <br /> subject water right to be changed by this SWSP shall be reduced by any ongoing sub- <br /> irrigation from groundwater. In order to ensure the required dry-up conditions exist <br /> during the approval period of this SWSP, and to ensure no sub-irrigation from <br /> groundwater is occurring, the Applicant shall provide records of monthly monitoring <br /> of depth to groundwater for all land associated with the change of water right in this <br /> SWSP. Information regarding depth to groundwater may be provided using existing <br /> irrigation wells, existing or new monitoring wells, or piezometers located on the <br /> dried-up fields. The Applicant may utilize wells or piezometers located within one <br /> quarter ('/a) mile of each field provided that the Applicant can demonstrate the depth <br /> to groundwater information available off-site is representative of the depth to <br />
