and be made under the direction and/or approval of the water commissioner. The

and/or division engineer shall determine the rate and timing of an aggregated release.
10. The name, mailing address, and phone number of the contact person who will be

11. The approval of this substitute water supply plan does not relieve the Applicant and/or
landowner of the requirement to obtain a Water Court decree approving a permanent
plan for augmentation or mitigation to ensure the permanent replacement of all
depletions, including long-term evaporation losses and lagged depletions after gravel
mining operations have ceased. If reclamation of the mine site will produce a
permanent water surface exposing groundwater to evaporation, an application for a plan
for augmentation must be filed with the Division 1 Water Court at least three (3) years
prior to the completion of mining to include, but not be limited to, long-term evaporation
losses and lagged depletions. If a lined pond results after reclamation, replacement of
lagged depletions shall continue until there is no longer an effect on stream flow.
