This substitute water supply plan may be revoked or modified at any time should it be <br />determined that injury to other vested 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. In addition, <br />lack of timely accounting may prevent proper administration, which may lead to <br />revocation or modification of this plan. <br />12. In accordance with amendments to §25-8-202(7), C.R.S., and Senate Bill 89-181 Rules <br />and Regulations adopted on February 4, 1992, the State Engineer shall determine whether <br />the substitute supply is of a quality to meet requirements of use to senior appropriators. As <br />such, water quality data or analysis may be requested at any time to determine if the water <br />quality is appropriate for downstream water users. <br />13. 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 water <br />court case or any other legal action that may be initiated concerning the substitute water <br />supply plan. This decision shall not bind the State Engineer to act in a similar manner in <br />any other applications involving other plans or in any proposed renewal of this plan, and <br />shall not imply concurrence with any findings of fact or conclusions of law contained herein, <br />or with the engineering methodologies used by the Applicant. <br />Should you have any questions, please contact Joanna Williams of this office or Mr. Dave <br />Nettles of our Divisk.)n office in Greeley at (970) 352-0742. <br />Sincerely, <br />of <br />Kevi G.
