Rachel Kullman <br />March 25, 2009 <br />measuring devices as required by the division engineer or water commissioner for <br />operation of this plan. <br />10. The replacement water must be returned from the Rural Ditch to the St. Vrain River through <br />a turn-out structure approved by the Water Commissioner, preferably the existing farm <br />diversion point on the ditch used to divert water to the historically irrigated lands. <br />11. The name, address and phone number of the contact person who will be responsible for the <br />operation and accounting of this plan must be provided with the accounting form to the <br />division engineer and water commissioner. <br />12. Adequate accounting of depletions and replacement must be provided to the division <br />engineer and the water commissioner on a monthly basis or other interval acceptable to <br />both of them. The accounting form is subject to modification and approval by the division <br />engineer. All amounts shall be in acre-feet. <br />13. 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 />14. All releases pf 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 />and/or division engineer shall determine the rate and timing of an aggregated release. <br />15. 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 plan <br />for augmentation or mitigation to ensure the permanent replacement of all depletions, <br />including long-term evaporation losses and lagged depletions after gravel mining operations <br />have ceased. If reclamation of the mine site will produce a permanent water surface <br />exposing groundwater to evaporation, an application for a plan for augmentation must be <br />filed with the Division 1 Water Court at least three (3) years prior to the completion of <br />mining to include, but not be limited to, long-term evaporation losses and lagged depletions. <br />If a lined pond results after reclamation, replacement of lagged depletions shall continue <br />until there is no longer an effect on stream flow. <br />16. 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. However, once dewatering at the site ceases the <br />delayed depletions must be addressed. At least three years prior to completion of <br />dewatering, a plan must be submitted that specifies how the post pumping dewatering <br />depletions (including refilling of the pit) will be replaced, in time, place and amount. <br />17. 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. Should <br />this substitute water supply plan expire without renewal or be revoked prior to adjudication <br />of a permanent plan for augmentation, all excavation of product from below the water table, <br />and all other use of water at the pit, must cease immediately.
