State Engineer
This letter is in response to the application submitted October 30, 2006 requesting a
substitute water supply plan (SWSP) for a sand and gravel pit to be operated by Pelino
Excavation, Inc. ("Applicant") in accordance with Section §37-90-137(11), C.R.S. The applicant
shall be responsible for compliance with this plan, but the State Engineer's Office may also ,
pursue the landowner for eventual compliance. The required fee of $1,593 for the substitute
water supply plan has been paid.
Plan of Operation
This plan describes the proposed water consumption for the period of January, 2007
through July, 2009. Up to 1.1 acres of groundwater may be exposed within the permit area.
Depletions
You have provided a monthly breakdown of the annual depletions at this site in your
attached Table 3. The table shows that during the period of January 2007 through July 2009 the
total stream depletions are estimated to be 13.78 acre-feet. These depletions have been lagged
to the Arkansas River. The estimated depletions are based upon groundwater evaporation,
water in mined product, and dust control. No groundwater will be used for concrete production,
reclamation, or any other purpose. The proposed mining operation will not include mining below
the water table unless an amendment to this SWSP is approved by this office. No ground water
was exposed within the permit boundary prior to January 1, 1981. No phreatophyte credit has
been applied to this plan.
Replacement
The proposed source of replacement water for this pit is a lease of consumable water
from the Upper Arkansas Water Conservancy District's Twin Lakes Reservoir and Canal
Company water in the amount of 6.18 acre-feet. A transit loss of 0.07 percenUmile for the
