not exceed 1 2 acres, the annual water used for dust control shall not exceed 2.0
acre-feet, and the total product mined shall not exceed a total of 350,000 tons per
year. Should the total consumption at the pit exceed these amounts prior to the
expiration date of this plan, an amendment will need to be filed with this office.
3. in accordance with amendments to §25-8-202(7), C.R.S., and Senate Bill 89-181
Rules and Regulations adopted on February 4, 1992, the State Engineer shall
determine if the substitute supply is of a quality to meet requirements of use to
which the senior appropriation receiving the substituted supply has normally been
put. As such, water quality data or analysis may be requested at any time to
determine if the requirements of use of the senior appropriator are met.

which the water may be used must first be approved by this office. Any future
additional historic consumptive use credit given (e.g. agricultural water transfer)for
this site must consider all previous credits given.

any other entity. As a condition of subsequent renewals of this substitute water
supply plan, the replacement water must be appurtenant to this site until a plan for
augmentation is obtained. A copy of this approval letter should be recorded with the
county clerk and recorder. All replacement water must be concurrent with
depletions in quantity, timing and locations.

Division Engineer in Greeley and the Water Commissioner (Robert Stahl, 9378

interval acceptable to both of them. The accounting form provided with your
application is subject to modification and approval by the Division Engineer. All
amounts shall be in acre-feel.

for the operation and accounting of this plan must be provided with the acceptance
letter to the Division Engineer and Water Commissioner.

be determined that injury to other vested water rights has or will occur as a result
of this plan.

groundwater to evaporation, an application for a plan for augmentation must be
filed with the Division 1 Water Court within two(2) years of the completion of mining
