by the pumping of each well or farm unit in the plan with the actual depletions from
reported pumping. Action shall be taken if the total pumping by a well user covered by
the plan is about to exceed an amount for which replacement water has been
purchased. Options for appropriate actions are to:
a) Notify the division engineer when a well user's pumping is out of compliance with
the terms of the approved plan and request that the division engineer stop the
well from pumping in excess of its limits.
b) Notify the division engineer of the purchase of more replacement water, in
addition to the water already purchased for the plan, to cover the additional
depletions caused by any additional pumping by the well or wells in question.
c) Notify the division engineer of a reallocation of the replacement water already
purchased or otherwise available to the plan. Indicate to the division engineer
which wells covered by the plan will pump less than originally planned or
alternatively demonstrate that existing replacement sources will make available
sufficient quantities to allow additional pumping by the well or wells in question.
10. Should a request for renewal of this plan be needed, such renewal request must be
submitted to this office and the division 2 office at least 90 days prior to the expiration date
of this plan (January 1, 2004).
11. In accordance with amendments to Section 25-8-202-(7), C.R.S. and "Senate Bill 89-181
Rules and Regulations" adopted on February 4, 1992, the state engineer shall continue to
determine whether or not the replacement supply is of a quality to meet requirements of
use to senior appropriators. As such, water quality data or analysis may be requested at
any time to determine if the water quality is appropriate for downstream water users.
12. No change or improvement of the delivery or application method of water from member
wells may be made that would result in material depletion of usable quantity or
availability for use of water to users in Colorado and Kansas in violation of Paragraph D,
Article IV, of the Arkansas River Compact.
13. Acceptance of these conditions shall be assumed unless a letter to the contrary is
_ _ received by this office, the_Division Engineer (Stev_e Witte1310 E. Abriendo,_Suite B~ _
Pueblo CO 81004), and the Water Commissioners (Eddie Taylor, 2126 N. Weber,
