This plan shall be valid through January 31, 2008, unless otherwise revoked or modified. The operation of this plan in 2006 is formally adopted with this renewal approval. 2. The total surface area of exposed ground water and total consumption at each pit may not exceed the amounts given in the attached table. 3. By no later than April 15, 2007 provide the basis for the computation of historical native vegetation consumptive use as required by Paragraph 10 of the General Guidelines for Substitute Water Supply Plans for Sand and Gravel Pits Submitted to the State Engineer Pursuant to SB 89-120 & S8 93-260. 4. The total combined amount of exposed ground water and dewatered area at the Pueblo East pit may not exceed 12 acres. Documentation of pond size may be required by the Division Engineer in the form of an aerial photo evaluation or survey by a Professional Land Surveyor during the plan year or in years covered by subsequent renewals of this plan. 5. Release of the Pueblo waters must be under the Division Engineer's direction and approval. 6. All pumping for material washing or dust suppression must be measured in a manner approved by the Division Engineer. 7. Accounting of water in this plan, including excavating area, area of actual groundwater exposure, pumping, stream depletions, and replacement water deliveries must be provided to the Water Commissioner and Division Engineer on forms and at times acceptable to them. Said accounting must be received by the 10`" of the month following the month being reported. The name, mailing address, and phone number of the contact person who is responsible for operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the accounting forms. B. Transit Mix must diligently pursue its application with the water court in case no. 03CW8 for a permanent plan for augmentation for the Pueblo West pit to ensure the permanent replacement of all depletions, including long term evaporation losses after the mining operations have ceased. Approval of this substitute supply plan does not imply a position by this office on any related litigation. 9. Should this substitute water supply 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. 10. 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. 11. Should a request for renewal of this plan be needed, such renewal request must be submitted to this office with the statutory fee of $257/gravel pit at least 45 days prior to the expiration date of this plan (by December 16, 2007). ,,,, .. ..
