Mr. Jared Dains <br />Timnath - Connell SWSP <br />March 30, 2012 <br />Page 4 <br />6. Total consumption and lagged depletions shall not exceed the amounts shown in attached <br />Table 2. <br />7. Approval of this plan is for the purposes as stated herein. Any additional uses of water <br />must first be approved by this office. Any future additional historical consumptive use <br />credit given (e.g., agricultural water transfer) for this site must consider all previous credits <br />given. Use of water to supply other local construction projects is specifically prohibited <br />under this plan. <br />8. All pumping for dust control purposes shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the <br />division engineer. <br />9. The replacement water, which is the subject of this plan cannot be sold or leased to any <br />other entity. As a condition of subsequent renewals of this substitute water supply plan, the <br />replacement water must be appurtenant to this site until a plan for augmentation is <br />obtained. A copy of this approval letter shall be recorded with the county clerk and <br />recorder. All replacement water must be concurrent with depletions in quantity, timing, and <br />locations. <br />10. The land historically irrigated with the of 2.5 Box Elder Ditch Shares must be dried up. The <br />Applicant must comply with the Administration Protocol "Dry -Up of Irrigated Land, Division <br />One — South Platte River" (attached). A GIS shapefile must be emailed by April 1, 2012 to <br />Div1Accounting @state.co.us for each dry -up notification and affidavit. If the dry -up is <br />within the boundary of active mining operations so that irrigation of the land is impossible, <br />then the end of year affidavit is not required. Each successive SWSP renewal must restate <br />the status of the dry -up land. <br />11. The Applicant shall modify accounting to reflect that the credit from any dried up fields <br />containing alfalfa or native grass 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 <br />new monitoring wells or piezometers within Y4 -mile of each alfalfa or native grass <br />field must be maintained. Credits will be reduced according to the following table <br />when depth to groundwater is Tess than the depth assumed to provide no significant <br />contribution to alfalfa growth. Measurements taken at the start of each month will <br />determine the necessary reduction in credit to be applied during the following <br />month. The applicant may use another methodology upon review and approval by <br />the State Engineer and Division Engineer. <br />
