Ms. Katie Todt <br /> February 9, 2026 <br /> Page 6 of 9 <br /> use to which the senior appropriation has normally been put, pursuant to section <br /> 37-80-120(3), and will not impair compliance with any interstate compact. This SWSP is <br /> hereby approved pursuant to section 37-92-308(4), subject to the following conditions: <br /> 1. This SWSP shall be valid for the period of May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2026 unless <br /> otherwise revoked or superseded by decree. Pursuant to section 37-92-308(4)(b), "If <br /> an applicant requests renewal of a plan that would extend the plan past five years <br /> from the initial date of approval, the applicant shall demonstrate to the water judge <br /> in the applicable water division that the delay in obtaining a decree has been <br /> justifiable and that not being able to continue operating under a substitute water <br /> supply plan until a decree is entered will cause undue hardship to the applicant." <br /> This SWSP will not be approved for the 2026 - 2027 period unless we receive <br /> evidence from the court that the applicant has met this requirement. <br /> 2. Well permit nos. 84898-F, 85156-F, and 89622-F have been obtained for the current <br /> use and exposed groundwater surface area at the Box Creek Placer Mine in <br /> accordance with section 37-90-137(2) and this SWSP. <br /> 3. The total groundwater depletions at the Box Creek Placer Mine Combined site must <br /> not exceed 36.3 acre-feet. <br /> 4. Approval of this plan is for the purposes as stated herein. Total consumption must not <br /> exceed the aforementioned amounts unless a new SWSP application is made and <br /> approved for such and such additional uses/amounts are identified in Case No. <br /> 25CW3012. <br /> 5. Depletions resulting from evaporation of exposed groundwater may be reduced for ice <br /> covered periods. For the purposes of this SWSP, the Applicant shall replace the <br /> evaporation depletions from exposed groundwater any time the exposed groundwater <br /> is not completely covered by ice. <br />
