Applicant shall <br />operate the gravel pit in accordance with the conditions of approval of permit no. <br />42334 -F. <br />3.

All releases of replacement water must be sufficient to cover all out -of- priority depletions <br />in time, place, and amount and must be made under the direction and /or the approval of <br />the water commissioner. The release of replacement water may be aggregated to <br />maximize beneficial use. The water commissioner and /or the division engineer shall <br />determine the rate and timing of an aggregated release. <br />6. The replacement water that 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, <br />the replacement water must be appurtenant to this site until the groundwater pond has <br />been completely backfilled and the lagged depletions to the stream system have ceased. <br />A copy of this approval letter should be recorded with the county clerk and recorder. All <br />replacement water must be concurrent with depletions in quantity, timing and location. <br />7. The name, address, and phone number of the contact person who will be responsible for <br />the operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the accounting forms <br />submitted to the division engineer and the water commissioner. <br />8.

Renewal of this plan is contingent <br />on the Applicant demonstrating that the backfilling of the site has continued or <br />contingent upon the Applicant filing an application for a plan for augmentation <br />with the Division 1 Water Court that includes long -term evaporation losses at the <br />G.
