RE'. Substitute Water Supply Plan, Loveland Pit, (DMG#M-2000-034)
Section 24, T5N, R69W, 6th P-M.
Water Division 1, Water District 4, Larimer County
Dear Ms Goettemoeller.-
This letter is in response to your application for a substitute water supply plan for the
Loveland Pit in accordance with Section §37-80-120, C.R S.. The required fee of$1,343 for the
substitute water supply plan has been submitted..
The anticipated net depletion for this plan is 4-0 acre-feet per year for up to 0.4 acres of
ground water exposed in dewatering trenches and a collection basin after December 31, 1980.
There is a total of approximately 34.7 acres of pre-1981 water surface existing in two pond areas
within the Loveland Pit permit area, which were created during the mining of the Brose Pit. No
expansion of the Brose pit is proposed for the current Loveland Pit mining.
You have provided a monthly breakdown of the annual depletions totaling 0.9 acre-feet of
evaporative loss, 1.0 acre-feet of water used and consumed for dust control, and 2.1 acre-feet of
water lost with the mined product. No phreatophyte credit has been applied to this plan_
The proposed source of replacement for this pit is 5.0 acre-feet of reusable water leased
from the City of Loveland.. The monthly depletions and replacement requirements are found on the
attached table..
As required by Senate Bill 89-120 in Section 8, this substitute water supply plan has been
provided to an outside consultant for review. The consultant has recommended approval of the
plan by way of this letter. Based upon statutory requirements and the recommendations of the
consultant, I hereby approve the proposed substitute water supply plan in accordance with §37-80-
120, C.R S. subject to the following conditions.:
1 A well permit must be issued for the gravel pit in accordance with §37-90-137(2) and
(11), C.R.S. Upon receipt of this approval for this plan, the applicant should submit
an application for a gravel pit well permit. The application will be then evaluated
pursuant to current statutes. Either consent or a hearing will be required prior to the
issuance of the permit if another well is located within 600 feet of the gravel pit
boundaries Should a new well permit be denied for reasons of 600 foot spacing, or
I
