Ms. Miranda C. Larsen Page 2 <br />Larimer Pit, M-74-069 <br />May 19, 2005 <br />Ditch credits during July through September, will be met by releases of C-BT water owned by <br />Loveland Ready Mix. The plan assumes a quota for the C-BT water of 50%. If needed, the <br />applicant is required to dedicate more C-BT units to this plan. If the C-BT quota is reduced below <br />50%, the applicant is required to notify this office, the Division Engineer and the Water <br />Commissioner of the new number of C-BT shares dedicated to this plan. This notification, if <br />required, must be submitted within 30 days of the quota being reduced and must indicate the acre- <br />feet of replacement credit associated with the new number of C-BT shares dedicated. At a quota of <br />0.5 acre-feet per unit, the 78 units committed to this plan will provide up to 39 acre-feet of <br />replacement credit. The C-BT units are approved for use in this temporary substitute water supply <br />plan. However, they cannot be used as a replacement source in a permanent plan for augmentation <br />for fhis site. <br />I hereby approve the proposed substitute water supply plan in accordance with §37-90- <br />137(11), C.R.S. subject to the following conditions: <br />1. This plan has an effective date of March 1, 2005, the expiration date of the current plan, and <br />shall be valid through February 28, 2006 unless otherwise revoked or modified. If this plan <br />will not be made absolute by a water court action by the plan's expiration date, a renewal <br />request must be submitted to this office with the statutory fee (currently $217) byJanuary 15, <br />2006. <br />2. The total surface area of the groundwaterexposedattheLarimerPitsiteafterDecember31, <br />1980 must not exceed 22.89 acres during this approval through February 28, 2006 resulting <br />in 44.64 acre-feet per year of evaporative loss. <br />The annual amount of water used for dust control shall not exceed 3.83 acre-feet, the total <br />product mined shall not exceed 16,488 tons per year resulting in 0.48 acre-feet of water lost <br />with product, and the amount of water used for concrete batching must not exceed 11.23 <br />acre-feet which represents production of 122,000 cubic yards of concrete. Should the total <br />wafer surface area at the pit, or the amounts of water used for concrete batching, dust <br />suppression or lostwith mined product exceed these amounts priorto the expiration date of <br />this plan, an amendment will need to be filed with this office. <br />4. Approval of this plan is for the purposes as stated herein. This office must first approve any <br />additional uses forwhich the water maybe used. Any future additional historic consumptive <br />use credit given (e.g., agricultural water transfer) for this site must consider all previous <br />credits given. <br />5. All pumping for dust control shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the Division <br />Engineer. <br />6. All releases of replacement water must be sufficient to cover all out-of-priority depletions in <br />time, place, and amount and must be made under the direction and/or the approval of the <br />water commissioner. The release of replacement water may be aggregated to maximize <br />beneficial use. The Water Commissionerand/ortheDivisionEngineershalldeterminethe <br />rate and timing of an aggregated release. <br />7. A dry-up covenant has been provided for the 42 Bames Ditch inches claimed under this <br />plan. The acreage that is referenced by the dry-up covenantwill need to be approved bythe <br />Division Engineer and Water Commissioner before any consumptive use credits are <br />available for use under this plan. <br />
