renewal request must be submitted to this office with the statutory fee (currently $257) by
October 31, 2007 (June 1, 2008 if extended).
2. The losses associated with this mining operation must not exceed the amounts shown in
attached Table 2. Should the losses at the site exceed the amounts shown in Table 2, prior
to the expiration of this plan, an amendment will need to be filed.
3. The approval of this substitute water supply plan does not relieve the Applicant and/or
landowner of the requirement to obtain a Water Court decree approving a permanent
plan for augmentation or mitigation to ensure the permanent replacement of all
depletions, including tong-term evaporation losses and lagged depletions after gravel
mining operations have ceased. If reclamation of the mine site will produce a permanent
water surface exposing groundwater to evaporation, an application for a plan for
augmentation must be filed with the Division 1 Water Court at least three (3) years prior
to the completion of mining to include, but not be limited to, long-term evaporation losses
and lagged depletions. If a lined pond results after reclamation, replacement of lagged
depletions shall continue until there is no longer an effect on stream Flow.
4. The Water Commissioner responsible for the administration of this plan is Mr. Robert Stahl,
9378 WCR 25, Fort Lupton, CO 80621, phone no. [phone]. The applicant shall
maintain daily records of all diversions, replacements, and the amount ofwater used for each
particular purpose. The applicant shall provide a report of these records to the division
engineer and the water commissioner on a monthly basis on a form approved by them. The
accounting must be submitted within thirty (30) calendar days of the end of the month
for which the accounting is being made.
5. All releases of replacement water must be sufficient to cover all out of priority depletions and
be made under the direction and/or approval of the water commissioner. The replacements
may be aggregated to maximize beneficial use. The water commissioner and/or division
engineer shall determine the rate and timing of an aggregated release.
6. Approval of this plan is for the purposes as stated herein. Any additional uses of this water
must first be approved by this office.
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.
8. Conveyance loss for delivery of augmentation water to the South Platte River is subject
to assessment and modification as determined by the division engineer.
9. This substitute water supply plan may be revoked or modified at any time should it be
determined that injury to other water rights has or will occur as a result of this plan. In
addition, lack of timely accounting may prevent proper administration, which may
lead to revocation or modification of this plan.
10. Should this substitute water supply plan expire without renewal or be revoked prior to
adjudication of a permanent plan for augmentation, all excavation of product from below the
water table, and all other use of water at the pit, must cease immediately.
11. The decision of the state engineer shall have no precedential or evidentiary force, shall not
