Mr. Craig Lis <br />GSL Sand and Gravel SWSP <br />March 22, 2012 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />purpose. The applicant shall provide a report of these records to the division engineer <br />(Div1Accounting(a),state.co.us) and the water commissioner (Bill Schneider at <br />William .Schneider(a�state.co.us) on a monthly basis. The accounting provided with your <br />application is subject to modification and approval by the division engineer. The <br />accounting must be submitted within 30 calendar days of the end of the month for which <br />the accounting is being made. <br />In addition, the applicant shall verify that the entities making replacements are identifying <br />this use on their accounting submitted to our office. For the period of this plan, that <br />entity is the City of Brighton (WDID 0202541 — Brighton Aug). <br />10. The name, address, and phone number of a contact person who will be responsible for <br />the operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the accounting forms to <br />the Division Engineer and Water Commissioner. <br />11. Conveyance loss for delivery of augmentation water to the South Platte River is subject <br />to assessment and modification as determined by the division engineer. <br />12. Dewatering at this site generated delayed depletions to the stream system. These <br />depletions are required to be replaced in time and amount for the duration that they <br />occur. <br />13. The approval of this substitute water supply plan does not relieve the Applicant and /or <br />the landowner of the requirement to obtain a Water Court decree approving a permanent <br />plan for augmentation or mitigation to ensure the permanent replacement of all <br />depletions, including long -term evaporation losses and lagged depletions after gravel <br />mining operations have ceased. If reclamation of the mine site will produce a permanent <br />water surface exposing groundwater to evaporation, an application for a plan for <br />augmentation must be filed with the Division 1 Water Court prior to the completion of <br />mining, to include, but not be limited to, long -term evaporation losses and lagged <br />depletions. If a lined pond results after reclamation, replacement of lagged depletions <br />from mining and dewatering shall continue until there is no longer an effect on stream <br />flow. <br />14. DRMS Permit No M- 2001 -085 requires a lined reservoir as the final reclamation plan. <br />With the next SWSP renewal request, the Applicant is required to demonstrate they are <br />in, or are diligently pursuing, compliance with their DRMS permit reclamation plan.and <br />the April 30, 2010 DRMS letter (attached). <br />15. The Applicant is required to maintain their DRMS permit and an adequate bond to cover <br />their reclamation plan until there are no longer lagged depletions hitting the river, a <br />suitable augmentation plan is obtained, or another party assumes full augmentation <br />responsibilities. The Applicant has a current bond of $281,115 but DRMS has raised the <br />bond requirement to $608,600 to account for the possible need of backfilling the pit. <br />With the next SWSP renewal request, the Applicant is required to demonstrate they are <br />in, or are diligently pursuing, compliance with the April 30, 2010 DRMS letter, specifically <br />in regards to the required financial warranty for the site. <br />16. This substitute water supply plan may be revoked or modified at any time should it be <br />determined that injury to other vested water rights has or will occur as a result of this <br />plan. Should this substitute water supply plan expire without renewal or be revoked prior <br />to adjudication of a permanent plan for augmentation, all excavation of product from <br />below the water table, and all other use of water at the pit, must cease immediately. In <br />
