Mr. Andy Rodriguez, P.E. <br />December 22, 2009 <br />Page 5 <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. <br />15. To assure that depletions from groundwater evaporation do not occur in the unforeseen <br />event, or events, that would lead to the abandonment of the pit, a bond for $1,013,500.00 <br />through DRMS for lining or backfilling of the pit has been obtained. Therefore, in case of <br />abandonment the bond can finance the completion of the lining of the pit or the <br />backfilling, thus preventing depletions to the stream system. <br />16. In accordance with amendments to Section §25 -8- 202 -(7), C.R.S. and "Senate Bill 89 -181 <br />Rules and Regulations" adopted on February 4, 1992, the State Engineer shall determine if <br />this substitute water supply plan is of a quality to meet requirements of use to which the <br />senior appropriation receiving the substitute supply has normally been put. As such, water <br />quality data or analyses may be requested at any time to determine if the requirement of <br />use of the senior appropriator is met. <br />17. The decision of the state engineer shall have no precedential or evidentiary force, shall <br />not create any presumptions, shift the burden of proof, or serve as a defense in any <br />water court case or any other legal action that may be initiated concerning the substitute <br />water supply plan. This decision shall not bind the State Engineer to act in a similar <br />manner in any other applications involving other plans or in any proposed renewal of this <br />plan, and shall not imply concurrence with any findings of fact or conclusions of law <br />contained herein, or with the engineering methodologies used by the Applicant. <br />Should you have any questions, please contact loana Comaniciu of this office or Mr. Dave <br />Nettles of our Division office in Greeley at (970) 352 -0742. <br />Sincerely, <br />4 stan Rein, P.E. <br />t State Engineer <br />Attachments: Tables 3 and 4 <br />City of Aurora Lease <br />cc: Dave Nettles, Assistant Division Engineer, 810 91h Avenue, Suite 200, Greeley, Colorado <br />80631, (970)- 352 -8712 <br />Scott Edgar, Water Commissioner District 2 (1735 Dolores River Dr., Windsor, Co 80550, <br />(970) 381 -0828) <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />KGR /IDC <br />
