acceptable to the Division Engineer.
9. The Applicant shall install adequate measuring devices as required by the Division Engineer
for the operation of this plan.
10. The Applicant shall maintain daily records of all diversions, replacements, and the
amount of water used for each particular purpose. The Applicant shall provide a report
of those records to the Division Engineer (Alan Martellaro, P.O. Box 396, Glenwood
Springs, CO 81602, telephone [phone]) and Water Commissioner (Steve Pope
2754 Compass Drive #175, Grand Junction, Colorado 87506, telephone 970-245-

Division Engineer and Water Commissioner by November 15'", which summarizes
diversions and replacements made pursuant to this plan. Flowrates shall be reported

the operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the accounting forms to

12. Long-term replacement requirements for this plan are satisfied by the perpetual lease
with West Divide Water Conservancy District and an existing bond with the DRMS.
13. The replacement water that 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. All replacement water must be concurrent with depletions in
quantity, timing and locations.
14. The approval of this substitute water supply plan does not relieve the Applicant and/or
the 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 5 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 from mining and dewatering shall continue until there
is no longer an effect on stream flow.
15. 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 if the substitute supply is of a quality to meet requirements of use to which
the senior appropriation receiving the substituted supply has normally been put. As
such, water quality data or analyses may be requested at any time to determine if the
requirements of use of the senior appropriator are met.
