The Applicant also proposes to fill the pond via groundwater seepage, to minimize
required replacements for groundwater depletions generated under this plan, after mining
ceases and reclamation begins. Since this must occur pursuant to a subsequent renewal or a
plan for augmentation, conditions for such filling have not been included in this approval, but will
be considered as part of a renewal, if necessary.
As required by Section 8 of Senate Bill 89-120, this substitute water supply plan has
been provided to an outside consultant for review. I hereby approve the proposed substitute
water supply plan in accordance with §37-90-137(11), C.R.S. subject to the following conditions:
1. This plan shall be valid through May 31, 2008 unless otherwise revoked or
modified. If this plan will not be made absolute by a water court action by the
plan's expiration date, a renewal request must be submitted to this office with the
statutory fee (currently $257) by April 16, 2008.
2. Prior to issuance of a well permit for the gravel pit and/or commencement of
diversions pursuant to this plan the applicant must submit a copy of the approved
water allotment contract from the West Divide Water Conservancy District for
Ruedi Reservoir water for an amount sufficient to replace out-of-priority depletions.
3. A well permit must be obtained for the gravel pit in accordance with §37-90-137(2)
and (11), C.R.S. prior to additional exposure or use of groundwater. The
provisions of §37-90-137(2) prohibit the issuance of a permit for a well to be
located within 600 feet of any existing well, unless the State Engineer finds that
circumstances so warrant after a hearing in accordance with the procedural rules in
2CCR402-5. The hearing will be waived if you are able to obtain statements from
the owners of all wells within 600 feet, venrying that they have no objection to your
