Ms. Cheryl Signs Durham Pit M1978-056 July 10, 2003 Page 3 3. A well permit must be obtained for the gravel pit in accordance with §37-90-137(2) and (11), C.R.S. in conjunction with this plan. A well permit application was submitted to this - office under receipt no. 511082, and this application is a pending evaluation. The provisions of Colorado Revised Statute 37-90-137(2) prohibits 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 held in accordance with the procedural rules in 2CCR402-5. Should a new well permit be denied for reasons of 600 foot spacing, or any other legitimate reason, approval of this substitute supply plan will be cancelled. 4. The total surface area of the groundwater exposed after December 31, 1980 must not exceed 79.2 acres which results in an evaporative loss of 212.39 acre-feet per year, the annual water used for dust control shall not exceed'2.8 acre-feet, and the total product mined at the Durham Pit Site shall not exceed 267,931 tons per year which results in 7.8 acre-feet of water lost with product. Total consumption at the pit must not exceed these amounts unless an amendment is made to this plan. 5.- Approval of this plan is for the purposes as stated herein. This office must first approve any additional uses for which the water may be used. Any future additional historic consumptive use credit given (e.g., agricultural water transfer) for this site must consider all previous credits given. 6. Dewatering at this site will produce delayed depletions to the stream system. As long as the pit is continuously dewatered, the water returned to the stream system should be adequate to offset the depletions. However, once dewatering at the site ceases the delayed depletions must be addressed. At least three years prior to completion of dewatering, a plan must be submitted that specifies how the post pumping dewatering depletions will be replaced, in time, place and amount. 7. All pumping -for dust control shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the division engineer. 8. The replacement water that is the subject of this plan cannot be sold or leased to 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. 9. Adequate accounting of deletions and replacement must be provided to the Division Engineer in Greeley (810 9 Street, 2nd Floor, Greeley, Colorado 80631, 970-35:2-8712) ' and the Water Commissioner (George Varra, 1400 Highway 287 North, Ft., Collins, Colorado 80524, 970-484-1628) on a monthly basis or other 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-feet.
