Ben Miller <br />6!23!2006 <br />use of the proposed well. Should a new well permit be denied for reasons of the <br />600 foot spacing, or any other legitimate reason, approval of this amendment will <br />be canceled. <br />4. The total area of exposed groundwater shall not exceed 3.57 acres, and total <br />consumptive use of the mining operation shall not exceed 24.8 acre-feet of which <br />11.0 acre-feet is due to evaporative losses, 2.6 acre-feet is due to dust <br />suppression, 6.6 acre-feet is water removed in product (4% moisture of 300,000 <br />tons of raw material), 0.3 acre-feet is due to asphalt production (35,000 tons), 4.0 <br />acre-feet is due to concrete production (75,000 tons), and 0.3 acre-feet is due to <br />sanitary use. Although replacement deliveries in excess of these amounts are <br />committed to this plan, any increase in depletions must be submitted to this office <br />as an amendment to this plan. <br />5. Approval of this plan is for the purposes as stated herein. Any additional uses of <br />this water must first be approved by this office. <br />6. All deliveries of replacement water shall be measured in a manner acceptable to <br />the Division Engineer. <br />Page 3 <br />The Water Commissioner responsible for the administration of this plan is Mr. <br />James R. Lemon, 6343 County Road 301, Parachute, Colorado 81635, phone no. <br />(970) 625-2317. The applicant shall maintain daily records of all replacements. <br />The applicant shall provide a report of these records to the Division Engineer and <br />the Water Commissioner on a monthly basis on a form approved by them. The <br />accounting must be submitted within five (5) calendar days of the end of the month <br />for which the accounting is being made <br />8. The name, address and phone number of a contact person who will be responsible <br />for the operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the accounting <br />forms to the Division Engineer and Water Commissioner. <br />9. The approval of this substitute water supply plan does not relieve the Applicant <br />and/or the landowner of the requirement to obtain a Water Court decree approving <br />a permanent plan for augmentation or mitigation to ensure the permanent <br />replacement of all depletions, including long-term evaporation losses and lagged <br />depletions after gravel mining operations have ceased. If reclamation of the mine <br />site will produce a permanent water surface exposing groundwater to evaporation, <br />an application for a plan for augmentation must be filed with the Division 5 Water <br />Court prior to the expiration of this approval, to include, but not be limited to, long- <br />term evaporation losses and lagged depletions. If a lined pond results after <br />reclamation, replacement of lagged depletions from mining and dewatering shall <br />continue until there is no longer an effect on stream flow. <br />10. This substitute water supply plan maybe revoked or modified at any time if it is determined <br />that injury to other vested water rights has or will occur as a result of the operation of this <br />plan. Should this substitute water supply plan expire without renewal or be revoked prior <br />to adjudication of a permanent plan for augmentation, all diversions under this plan must <br />cease immediately. <br />
