,D <br />Cheryl Signs, P.E. April 12, 2011 <br />Seahorse Ranch West Pit and Vader Pit Combined Replacement Plan Page 5 of 7 <br />6. All pumping for dust control shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the division engineer. <br />7. The replacement water, which is the subject of this SWSP, cannot be sold or leased to any <br />other entity. As a condition of subsequent renewals of this SWSP, the replacement water must <br />be appurtenant to this site until a plan for augmentation is obtained. All replacement water <br />must be concurrent with depletions in quantity, timing, and location. <br />8. The name, address, and phone number of the contact person who will be responsible for the <br />operation and accounting of this SWSP must be provided on the accounting forms submitted to <br />the division engineer and the water commissioner. <br />9. 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. In addition, the applicant shall maintain daily records of <br />all diversions, replacements, and the amount of water used for each particular purpose. The <br />applicant shall provide a report of these records to the division engineer and the water <br />commissioner on a monthly basis on a form approved by them. The accounting must be <br />submitted to the division engineer in Montrose and the water commissioner (Bonnie Irby at <br />Bonnie. Irbv(M-state.co.us) within 30 calendar days of the end of the month for which the <br />accounting is being made. All amounts shall be in acre-feet. <br />10. The Applicant shall perform an inspection and provide verification for all parcels of dried up <br />land used to generate augmentation credits during the term of this SWSP. The final <br />verification of dry up will be in the form of an affidavit signed by an individual having personal <br />knowledge of the dry up for the entire irrigation season for each parcel of land used in this <br />SWSP. The Applicant shall provide a written notification to the water commissioner and <br />division engineer by May 1, 2011 and May 1, 2012 identifying the lands to be dried up for the <br />2011 and 2012 irrigation season. By October 31, 2011 and October 31, 2012 the Applicant <br />shall provide an affidavit to'the water commissioner and division engineer that identifies and <br />confirms the lands that were dried up during the 2011 and 2012 irrigation seasons in order that <br />the final determination of augmentation credits for the irrigation season can be made along <br />with mapping showing any revisions to the dried-up acreage. The Applicant shall modify <br />accounting to reflect that the credit from any dried up fields containing alfalfa or native grass <br />was assessed in the following manner: <br />(a) For fields deep tilled or chemically treated to successfully kill alfalfa or native grass, <br />100% credit will be given for consumptive use as otherwise computed under the <br />conditions of this approval. <br />(b) For fields not deep tilled or chemically treated to successfully kill alfalfa, records of <br />monthly monitoring of depth to groundwater at existing irrigation wells or existing or new <br />monitoring wells or piezometers within %4-mile of each alfalfa or native grass field must <br />be maintained. Credits will be reduced according to the following table when depth to <br />groundwater is less than the depth assumed to provide no significant contribution to <br />alfalfa growth. Measurements taken at the start of each month will determine the <br />necessary reduction in credit to be applied during the following month. The applicant <br />may use another methodology upon review and approval by the state engineer and <br />division engineer.
