Donald E. Frick <br />January 14, 2004 <br />Page 2 <br />statutory fee (currently $217) must be submitted to this office 45 days prior to the <br />expiration date of this plan. <br />2. Anew well permit must be obtained for the current use and exposed pond surface area of <br />the gravel pit. The provisions of Colorado Revised Statute 37-90-137(2) prohibits the <br />issuance of a permit for a well to be located within 600 feet of any existing well, unless the <br />State Engineer finds that circumstances so warrant after a hearing held in accordance with <br />the procedural rules in 2CCR402-5. This hearing may be waived if you are able fo obtain <br />statements from the owners of all wells within 600 feet, verifying that they have no objection <br />to your use of the proposed well. Should a new well permit be denied for reasons of 600 <br />foot spacing, or any other legitimate reason, approval of this substitute supply plan will be <br />canceled. A well permit application was filed on December 24, 2003. <br />3. The total area of pond surface exposed and the total amount of water to be consumed <br />due to water removed in product can not exceed that amount listed on the attached <br />fables for each month. Should the actual values exceed the amounts in the tables, an <br />amendment will need to be filed with this office. <br />4. The water wmmissioner responsible for the administration of this plan is Mr. Bob Stahl, <br />9378 WCR 25, Ft. Lupton, CO 80621, phone no. (303) 857-0742. Adequate records of <br />diversions, replacements„and' amounts of water used for .particular uses must be <br />provided to the Division Ergineer and the Water Commissioner on a monthly basis or <br />other interval acceptable,to both of them on a form approved by them. <br />5. Alt releases of replacement water must be sufficient to cover all out of priority depletions <br />and be made under the, direction ,and/or approval of .the water commissioner. The: <br />replacement may be aggregated to maximize beneficial use. The water commissioner <br />andtor division engineer sflatt determine tke rate and timing of an aggregated release. <br />6. The replacement water, which is the subject of this plan cannot be sold or leased to any <br />other entity. As a condition of subsequent renewals of this substitute water supply plan, <br />the replacement water must be appurtenant to this site until a plan for augmentation is <br />obtained. <br />7. Approval of this plan is for the purposes as stated herein. This office must first approve <br />any additional uses for which the water may be used. <br />8. The approval of this substitute water supply plan does not relieve the Applicant and/or <br />landowner of the requirement to obtain a Water Court decree approving a permanent <br />plan for augmentation or mitigation to ensure the permanent replacement of all <br />depletions, including long-term evaporation losses after gravel mining operations have <br />ceased. If reclamation of the mine site will produce a permanent water surface exposing <br />groundwater to evaporation, an application for a plan for augmentation must be filed with <br />the Division 1 Water Court at least three (3) years prior to the completion of mining to <br />include, but not be fimfted to, long-term evaporation fosses. If a fined pond results after <br />reclamation, replacement of lagged depletions shall continue until there is no longer an <br />effect on stream flow. <br />U <br />
