Mr. Forrest Leaf
May 30, 2007
This SWSP shall be valid for the period of January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007,
unless otherwise revoked, modified, or superceded by decree. 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 $257) by November 1,
2007.
2. Anew well permit must be obtained for the gravel pit in accordance with §37-90-137(2)
and (11), C.R.S. The applicant has submitted a well permit application to expand the use
of the gravel operation, receipt no. 36108998. Any application will be evaluated
subsequent to approval of this plan. The provisions of §37-90-137(2) prohibit 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 in accordance with
the procedural rules in 2CCR402-5. The hearing will 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 the 600-foot spacing, or any other legitimate reason, approval of this
amendment will be canceled.
3. The losses associated with this mining operation must not exceed a total of 55.95 acre-
feet for the duration of this permit approval. These losses include 33.76 acre-feet of
evaporation from the proposed exposure of 11.72 acres of groundwater after December
31, 1980, 17.65 acre-feet of water lost in product (4% moisture of 600,000 tons of raw
material), 3 acre-feet for on-site dust control and 1.53 acre-feet used in the production of
10,000 tons of concrete. Should the consumptive use at the site exceed 55.95 acre- prior
to the expiration date of this plan, 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 of this
water must first be approved by this office.
5. The Water Commissioner responsible for the administration of this plan is Mr. Robert
Stahl, 9378 WCR 25, Ft. Lupton, CO 80621, phone [phone]. 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 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.
In addition, the applicant shall submit a report from the Town of Milliken ("Milliken"). The
report shall include an accounting of all replacement water controlled by Milliken,
showing the total volume of water under its control and the amount committed to each of
the recipients of the water.
6. All diversions shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the division engineer. The
Applicant shall install and maintain such measuring devices as required by the division
engineer for operation of this SWSP.
7. 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
replacement may be aggregated to maximize beneficial use. The water commissioner
and/or division engineer shall determine the rate and timing of an aggregated release.
