Jared Dains <br />South Platte Combined Replacement Plan <br />March 14, 2012 <br />The proposed depletions and replacements are shown in the attached Division 1 Water <br />Accounting Summary. <br />Page 13 <br />Conditions of Approval <br />I hereby approve this substitute water supply plan, in accordance with Section 37 -90- 137(11), <br />C.R.S., subject to the following conditions: <br />1. This SWSP shall be valid for the period of January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, <br />unless otherwise revoked, modified, or superceded by decree. Should a request for renewal <br />of this plan be needed, such renewal request must be submitted to this office with the <br />statutory fee (currently $257 per pit) no later than November 15, 2012. <br />2. A well permit must be obtained for the current use and exposed pond surface area for the <br />gravel pits whose use has expanded since previously permitted. Those gravel pits are <br />denoted above in Table 1. The provisions of Colorado Revised Statute 37 -90- 137(2) <br />prohibits the issuance of a permit for a well to be located within 600 feet of any existing well, <br />unless the State Engineer finds that circumstances so warrant after a hearing held in <br />accordance with the procedural rules in 2CCR402 -5. This hearing may be waived if you are <br />able to obtain statements from the owners of all wells within 600 feet, verifying that they <br />have no objection to your use of the proposed well. Should a new well permit be denied for <br />reasons of 600 foot spacing, or any other legitimate reason, approval of the subject gravel pit <br />under this substitute supply plan will be canceled. For reference a summary of deficiencies on <br />the pits identified in Table 1 as needing a revised permit is provided below: <br />a. Teti Pit — Operations exceed permitted maximum annual amount of ground water to <br />be appropriated and current permit list CAMAS, Aggregates Predecessor, as the <br />owner. <br />b. Tucson Pit — Dewatering, though ongoing, is not a permitted allowed use. <br />c. Distel Pit — Dewatering, though ongoing, is not a permitted allowed use. <br />d. W.W. Farms — Operations exceed permitted maximum annual amount of ground <br />water to be appropriated, exposed ground water, and water lost in evaporation. <br />e. East 8 Street Pit — Operations exceed permitted maximum annual amount of <br />groundwater to be appropriated <br />3. The applicant may only utilize the 240 shares of the Boyd & Freeman Ditch in this plan if <br />accurate measuring and recording devices are installed by April 2012 and those devices are <br />approved by George Varra, the District 3 Water Commissioner. <br />4. The total area of pond surface exposed for each of the pits shall not exceed those values <br />listed in Table 1 of this approval. Should the total surface area exposed exceed those <br />amounts, an amendment will need to be filed with this office. The total amount of ground <br />water to be consumed at the gravel mining operations shall not exceed the values listed in <br />Table 4 of this approval. Should the amount of ground water to be appropriated from each <br />of the pits exceed the values listed in Table 4, an amendment will need to be filed with this <br />office. <br />5. Dewatering at the pits will produce delayed depletions to the stream system. At least three <br />years prior to completion of mining, a plan must be submitted that specifies how the post <br />pumping dewatering depletions (including refilling of the pit) will be replaced in time, place <br />and amount. <br />
