In accordance with amendments to Section §25-8-202-(7), C.R.S. and "Senate Bill 89-181 <br />Rules and Regulations" adopted on February 4, 1992, the State Engineer shall determine <br />if this substitute water supply plan is of a quality to meet requirements of use to which the <br />senior appropriation receiving the substitute supply has normally been put. As such, water <br />quality data or analyses may be requested at any time to determine if the requirement of <br />use of the senior appropriator is met. <br />17. The decision of the state engineer shall have no precedential or evidentiary force, shall <br />not create any presumptions, shift the burden of proof, or serve as a defense in any <br />water court case or any other legal action that may be initiated concerning the substitute <br />water supply plan. This decision shall not bind the State Engineer to act in a similar <br />manner in any other applications involving other plans or in any proposed renewal of this <br />plan, and shall not imply concurrence with any findings of fact or conclusions of law <br />contained herein, or with the engineering methodologies used by the Applicant. <br />Should you have any questions, please contact Joanna Williams of this office or Mr. Scott <br />Cuthbertson of our Division office in Greeley at (970) 352-0742. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Kevin G.
