Ms. Cheryl Signs Barlow Pit M-74-092 May 31, 2007 Page 4 6. Total consumption at the pit(s) must not exceed 44.66 acre-feet per year unless an amendment is made to this plan. 7. Approval of this plan is for the purposes as stated herein. This office must first approve any additional uses for which the water may be used (e.g. diversions from the pit pond for dust control, re-vegetation, etc.). 8. All releases of replacement water must be sufficient to cover all out-of-priority depletions in time, place, and amount and must be made under the direction and/or the approval of the water commissioner. 9. The replacement water which is the subject of this plan cannot be sold or leased to any other entity. As a condition of subsequent renewals of this substitute water supply plan, the replacement water must be appurtenant to this site until a plan for augmentation is obtained. A copy of this approval letter should be recorded with the county clerk and recorder. Atl replacement water must be concurrent with depletions in quantity, timing, and locations. 10. The name, address and phone number of the contact person who will be responsible for the operation and accounting of this plan must be provided with the accounting forms to the division engineer and the water commissioner. 11. Adequate accounting of depletions and replacement must be provided to the division engineer in Greeley and the water commissioner on a monthly basis or other interval acceptable to both of them. The accounting form provided with your application is subject to modification and approval by the division engineer. All amounts shall be in acre-feet. 12. This substitute water supply plan may be revoked or modified at any time should it be determined that injury to other vested water rights has or will occur as a result of this plan. Should this 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. 13. All pumping of the batch plant well shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the division engineer. 14. A copy of the Water Order, dated June 24, 2007 regarding the Riverside Reservoir and Land Company private rights applicable for 2007-2008 was submitted to this office on May 24, 2007. A copy of the Water Order applicable for 2008-2009 must be submitted to this office prior to May 31, 2008, or this plan will expire on May 31, 2008. 15. If reclamation of the mine site produces a permanent water surface exposing ground water 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. Granting of this plan does not imply approval by this office of any such court application(s). 16. In accordance with amendments to §25-8-202(7), C.R.S., and Senate Bill 89-181 Rules and Regulations adopted on February 4, 1992, the State Engineer shall determine whether the substitute supply is of a quality to meet requirements of use to senior appropriators. As such, water quality data or analysis may be requested at any time to determine if the water quality is appropriate for downstream water users.
