Michelle Hatcher <br />May 3, 2010 <br />14. 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 />15. 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. <br />16. In accordance with amendments to §25-8-202(7), C.R.S., and Senate Bill 89-181 Rules and <br />Regulations adopted on February 4, 1992, the State Engineer shall determine whether the <br />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 />17. The decision of the state engineer shall have no precedential or evidentiary force, shall not <br />create any presumptions, shift the burden of proof, or serve as a defense in any water court <br />case or any other legal action that may be initiated concerning the substitute water supply <br />plan. This decision shall not bind the State Engineer to act in a similar manner in any other <br />applications involving other plans or in any proposed renewal of this plan, and shall not <br />imply concurrence with any findings of fact or conclusions of law contained herein, or with <br />the engineering methodologies used by the Applicant. <br />Please contact loana Comaniciu in Denver at (303) 866-3581, or Dave Nettles in Greeley at <br />(970) 352-8712, if you have any questions concerning this approval. <br />Sinc rely, <br />Kevi Rein, P.E. ??? <br />As stant State Engineer <br />Attachments: Figure 1 and Table 4 <br />SVLH-Lease <br />City of Greeley Lease <br />Cc: Dave Nettles, Assistant Division Engineer, 810 9th Avenue, Suite 200, Greeley, Colorado <br />80631, (970)-352-8712 <br />Shera Sumerford, Water Commissioner, District 5 (1417 25th Avenue, Greeley, Co 80634, <br />(970) 352-5558) <br />Bob Carlson, Water Commissioner, District 6 (P.O.
