Mr. Jared Dains <br />G.L. SWSP <br />May 15, 2012 <br />10. To assure that depletions from groundwater evaporation do not occur in the unforeseen <br />event, or events, that would lead to the abandonment of the pit, a bond for $148,500.00 <br />through DRMS for lining or backfilling of the pit has been obtained. Therefore, in case of <br />abandonment the bond can finance the completion of the lining of the pit or the <br />backfilling, thus preventing depletions to the stream system. <br />11. In accordance with amendments to §25 -8- 202(7), C.R.S., and "Senate Bill 89 -181 Rules <br />and Regulations" adopted on February 4, 1992, the State Engineer shall determine <br />whether the substitute supply is of a quality to meet requirements of use to senior <br />appropriators. As such, water quality data or analysis may be requested at any time to <br />determine if the water quality is appropriate for downstream water users. <br />12. The decision of the state engineer shall have no precedential or evidentiary force, shall <br />not create any presumptions, shift the burden of proof, or serve as a defense in any <br />pending water court case or any other legal action that may be initiated concerning this <br />plan. This decision shall not bind the state engineer to act in a similar manner in any <br />other applications involving other plans, or in any proposed renewal of this plan, and <br />shall not imply concurrence with any findings of fact or conclusions of law contained <br />herein, or with the engineering methodologies used by the Applicant. <br />If you have any questions concerning this approval, please contact Joanna Williams in <br />Denver at (303) 866 -3581 or Jonathan Hernandez in Greeley at (970) 352 -8712. <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />KGR /jmh /G.L.Pit M81 -022 (12) <br />Sincerely, <br />eatherage, P.E. <br />f of Water Supply <br />Page 4 <br />Attachments: Tables 1 & 2 <br />Lake Canal Reservoir Company Lease <br />Administration Protocol `Augmentation Plan Accounting, Division One — South Platte River" <br />cc: Jonathan Hernandez, Water Resource Engineer (810 9 Street, Ste. 200, Greeley, CO 80631 <br />(970) 352 -8712) <br />George Varra, Water Commissioner (1400 Highway 287 North, Ft.
