AUGMENTATION PLAN ACCOUNTING PROTOCOL
Division of Water Resources
Division One -Greeley
This document addresses the accounting information and format that should be followed
for water court approved augmentation plans. Decreed augmentation plan requirements
take precedence in the event of a conflict between the requirements in the decree and
this protocol.
1. The accounting must be done using software such as Excel or Access,
preferably Excel. During the initial review of the accounting and/or when
requested, the applicant will be required to submit the actual Excel file used to
perform the accounting so that data relationships and formulas can be confirmed.
2. Accounting for wells that are decreed as alternate points of diversion to a surface
water right must be done on a daily basis in order to substantiate when the well is
in or out of priority. For the purposes of augmentation plan accounting only, the
daily in priority alternate point well diversions may simply be shown as zero. The
remaining out of priority daily diversions should then be used to determine the
delayed depletions associated with the well operation.
3. Accounting for wells that are not alternate points of diversion to a surface water
right may be done on either a daily or monthly basis. If the monthly basis is used,
the volume of water diverted for the entire month should be prorated to the
number of days in the month and shown as equal daily diversions.
4. Accounting reports must be submitted electronically to the division engineer at
Div1Accounting(o~state.co.us within 30 days of the end of the month for which the
accounting is being submitted.
5. Please use the following naming convention for all files submitted pursuant to
item 4: "PlanName_Month_Year_Version". As an example, the initial submission
for the XYZ augmentation plan for July 2004 would be named "XYZ July 2004
vl.xls". If this accounting is then amended, the amended file submitted would be
named "XYZ July 2004 v2.xls", etc. Please put the name of the file in the
subject line of the email.
6. All diversion information for both wells and recharge structures must be reported
using the WDID for the structure, at a minimum. Other information such as well
name, permit number, etc. can also be included based on the reporter's
preference as a cross check to the WDID All wells must be either decreed by
the Water Court or permitted by the Division of Water Resources.
Unregistered wells for which there is no decree cannot, in the opinion of the
Division Engineer, be effectively administered because of the need to know the
location, allowable diversion rate and use of the well; information that is only
available from the decree or permitting process.
7. The accounting should have a single "Contact Information" sheet that shows
the contact information for each well. This sheet should also contain the contact
8. The accounting should have a single table showing "Past Pumping Depletions"
expected due to previous operations of all the wells covered by the plan, itemized
by well.
