Conditions of Approval I approve the proposed substitute water supply plan in accordance with Section 37-90- 137(11), C.R.S., subject to the following conditions: This SWSP shall be valid for the period of April 1, 2007 through March 31, 2008, unless otherwise revoked, modified, or superseded by decree.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 February 1, 2008. 2. Anew well permit must be obtained for the gravel pit in accordance with §37-90-137(2) and (11), C.R.S. prior to expanding the irrigation consumptive use at the pit beyond the amount currently permitted under well permit no. 63693-F. 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. Shoufd 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.
