The applicant shall maintain daily records of all diversions, replacements, and the <br />amount of water used for each particular purpose. The applicant shall provide a report <br />of these records to the division engineer and the water commissioners on a monthly <br />basis on a form approved by them. The accounting must be submitted within thirty (30) <br />calendar days of the end of the month for which the accounting is being made. <br />In addition, the applicant shall submit a report from the City of Thornton. The reports <br />shall include an accounting of all replacement water controlled by Thornton, showing <br />the total volume of water under their control and the amount committed to each of the <br />recipients of the water. <br />7. All diversions shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the division engineer. The <br />Applicant shall install and maintain such measuring devices as required by the division <br />engineer for operation of this SWSP. <br />8. All releases of replacement water must be sufficient to cover all out of priority <br />depletions and be made under the direction and/or approval of the water commissioner. <br />The replacement may be aggregated to maximize beneficial use. The water <br />commissioner and/or division engineer shall determine the rate and timing of an <br />aggregated release. <br />9. The name, mailing address, and phone number of the contact person who will be <br />responsible for operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the <br />accounting forms to the division engineer and water commissioner. <br />10. 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 and lagged depletions after gravel <br />mining operations have ceased. If reclamation of the mine site will produce a <br />permanent water surface exposing groundwater to evaporation, an application for a <br />plan for augmentation must be filed with the Division 1 Water Court at least three (3) <br />years prior to the completion of mining to include, but not be limited to, long-term <br />evaporation losses and lagged depletions. If a lined pond results after reclamation, <br />replacement of lagged depletions shall continue until there is no longer an effect on <br />stream flow. <br />11. This substitute water supply plan may be revoked or modified at any time should it be <br />determined that injury to other water rights has or will occur as a result of this plan. <br />Should this substitute water supply plan expire without renewal or be revoked prior to <br />adjudication of a permanent plan for augmentation, all excavation of product from below <br />the water table, and all other use of water at the pit, must cease immediately. <br />12. Dewatering at this site will produce delayed depletions to the stream system. As long as <br />the pit is continuously dewatered, the water returned to the stream system should be <br />adequate to offset the depletions attributable to the dewatering operation. If dewatering <br />at the site ceases, the delayed depletions must be addressed. At least three years prior <br />to completion of dewatering, a plan must be submitted that specifies how the post <br />pumping dewatering depletions (including refilling of the pit) will be replaced, in time, <br />place and amount.
