Jared Dains South Platte Combined Replacement Plan March 21, 2011 Page 14 River Power Authority and Centennial Water and Sanitation District. The report shall include an accounting of all wastewater plant water effluent controlled by each entity, showing the total volume of water under its control at the various wastewater treatment plants, and the amount committed to each of the recipients of the water. The applicant must submit the required reports to the water commissioners on a monthly basis. If the applicant does not submit the required reports the SWSP cannot be administered and credit for the released effluent will not be granted. 12. All releases of replacement water must be sufficient to cover all out-of-priority depletions in time, place, and amount and must be made under the direction and/or the approval of the water commissioner(s). The release of replacement water may be aggregated to maximize beneficial use. The water commissioner(s) and/or the division engineer shall determine the rate and timing of an aggregated release. 13. The approval of this substitute water supply plan does not relieve the Applicant and/or landowner of the requirement to obtain a Water Court decree approving a permanent plan for augmentation or mitigation to ensure the permanent replacement of all depletions, including long-term evaporation losses and lagged depletions after gravel mining operations have ceased. Therefore, the applicant is required to file for a permanent plan for augmentation with the Water Court by the expiration date (December 31, 2011) of this substitute water supply plan to include the long-term evaporation losses at the Distel Pit and the F Street Pit. 14. The replacement water, which 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. All replacement water must be concurrent with depletions in quantity, timing, and locations. According to an affidavit dated January 25, 2001, the Applicant dedicated the 12.5 shares of the Whitney Ditch Company and 96 shares of the Fulton Irrigating Ditch Company as replacement water solely for this SWSP for as long as there are depletions at these gravel pit sites or until such time as another replacement source is obtained. For the purposes of this SWSP, this affidavit will be accepted for the dedication of the shares; however, if the State Engineer determines that a different affidavit or dedication process is necessary to assure proper dedication of the shares, additional information may be required prior to future SWSP approvals. 15. The Applicant shall perform an inspection and provide verification for all parcels of dried up land used to generate augmentation credits during the term of this SWSP. The final verification of dry up will be in the form of an affidavit signed by an individual having personal knowledge of the dry up for the entire irrigation season for each parcel of land used in this SWSP. In accordance with the attached protocol for dry-up of irrigated land, the Applicant shall provide a written notification to the water commissioner and division engineer by April 1, 2011 identifying the lands to be dried up for the 2011 irrigation season. By October 15, 2011 the Applicant shall provide an affidavit to the water commissioner and division engineer that identifies and confirms the lands that were dried up during the 2011 irrigation season in order that the final determination of augmentation credits for the irrigation season can be made along with mapping showing any revisions to the dried-up acreage. The Applicant shall modify accounting to reflect that the credit from any dried up fields containing alfalfa or native grass was assessed in the following manner:
