I hereby approve this proposed substitute water supply plan in accordance with Section
37-90-137(11), C.R.S., subject to the following conditions:
This plan is valid through December 31; 2004 unless othennrise revoked or
modified. If this plan will not be made absolute by a Water Court action by the
plan's expiration date, a renewal request must be submitted to this office with the
statutory fee (currently $217) at least 45 days prior to the expiration date of this .
plan (by November 15, 2002).
2. A well permit must be obtained for the gravel pit in accordance with §37-90-137(2)
and (11), C.R.S. Any application will be evaluated subsequent to approval of this
plan. The provisions of Colorado Revised Statute 37-90-137(2) prohibits the
issuance of a permit for a well to be located within 600 feet of any existing well, ;
unless the state engineer finds that circumstances so warrant after a hearing held
in accordance with the procedural rules in 2CCR402-5. This hearing may be
waived if you are able to obtain statements from the owners of all wells within 600
feet, verifying that they have no objection to your use of the proposed well.
Should a new well permit be denied for reasons of 600 foot spacing, or any other
legitimate reason, approval of this substitute supply plan will be cancelled.
3. Consumptive use associated with this mining operation for 2004 must not exceed
a total of 16.51 acre-feet. These losses include 12.27 acre-feet of evaporation
from the proposed exposure of 0.61 acres of groundwater from January through
April and the proposed exposure of 5 acres of groundwater from May through
December, 1 acre-foot of water used for dust suppression and 3.24 acre-feet of
water lost in 110,000 tons of mined aggregate. Should the consumptive uses
from this pit exceed 16.51 acre-feet or the lagged depletions to the South Platte
River exceed 10.68 acre-feet, an amendment will need to be filed with this office.
4. Approval of this plan is for the purposes as stated herein. Any additional uses for
this water must first be approved by this office. Any future additional historic
consumptive use credit given (e.g., agricultural water transfer) for this site must
consider all previous credits given.
5. All pumping for dust control shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the
division engineer.
6. The water commissioner responsible for the administration of this plan is Mr.
Robert Stahl, 9378 WCR 25, Fort Lupton, CO 80621, phone no. [phone].
Adequate records of diversion, replacement and amounts of water used for
particular uses must be provided to the division engineer and the water
commissioner on a monthly basis or other interval acceptable to both of them on a
form approved by them.
7. 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 dommissioner.
