Jared Dains South Platte Combined Replacement Plan March 14, 2012 Page 14 6. Prior to claiming any credit for the water returned to the stream system from dewatering in excess of lagged dewatering depletions (a net accretion), the applicant must install a totalizing flow meter that accurately measures the quantity of water being pumped and returned to the stream system via dewatering operations. No net accretion credits will be given to any dewatering operation whose volume is based on the assumed dewatering flow rate after March 30, 2012. 7. This SWSP will not be renewed until all dewatering operations have a totalizing flow meter installed, regardless if the result is a net accretion or net depletion. 8. The installation of any device used for measuring replacement water in this plan must be inspected by a Division 1 hydrographer. Furthermore, the exact location of all return structures utilized in this plan must be provided to the Division Engineer and Water Commissioner in order to allow for inspections of the structures. Finally, all charts or other output data associated with each measuring device utilized in this plan must be provided in a timely manner acceptable to the Water Commissioner. 9. All diversions shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the Division Engineer. The Applicant shall install and maintain such measuring devices as required by the Division Engineer for operation of this SWSP. In addition, the applicant shall maintain daily records of all diversions, replacements, and the amount of water used for each particular purpose. The applicant shall provide a report of these records to the division engineer and the water commissioner on a monthly basis on a form approved by them. The accounting must be submitted to the division engineer in Greeley (DivlAccountinq @state.co.us) and the water commissioners William Schneider (William.Schneiderstate.co.us), George Varra (George.Varra.Ca�state.co.us), Shera Sumerford ( Shera.Sumerford(a,,state.co.us), and Bob Carlson (Bob.Carlsonstate.co.us) within 30 calendar days of the end of the month for which the accounting is being made. Submitted accounting shall conform to the Administration Protocol "Augmentation Plan Accounting, Division One — South Platte River" (attached) In addition, the applicant shall verify that each entity making replacements for this plan, have included this plan in their respective accounting submitted to the Division Engineer. For this plan those entities are the City of Westminster, City of Thornton, City of Greeley, and Centennial Water and Sanitation District. 10. 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. 11 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. 12. 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 February 29, 2012, the Applicant dedicated the 13.5 shares of the Whitney Ditch Company and 96 shares of the Fulton Irrigating Ditch Company as
