This plan shall be valid for the period of August 10, 2012 through March 31, 2013, <br />unless otherwise revoked or modified.

A well permit has been obtained for the current use and exposed pond surface area of <br />the gravel pit in accordance with §37 -90- 137(2) and (11), C.R.S., permit no. 55520 -F. <br />3. The total surface area of the ground water exposed must not exceed 27.57 acres, which <br />results in lagged stream depletions of 44.79 acre -feet for the approval period of this plan. <br />4. No other use of ground water at this site is allowed under this SWSP. <br />5. Total consumption at the M &G Pit must not exceed the aforementioned amounts unless <br />an amendment is made to this plan. <br />6. 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 on a <br />monthly basis to maximize beneficial use. The water commissioner or the division <br />engineer shall determine the rate and timing of an aggregated release. <br />7. 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 a plan for augmentation is <br />obtained. A copy of this approval letter should be recorded with the County Clerk and <br />Recorder. All replacement water must be concurrent with depletions in quantity, timing, <br />and locations. <br />8. All diversions shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the Division Engineer. The <br />Applicant shall install and maintain such measuring devices as required by the Division <br />Engineer for operation of this SWSP. In addition, the Applicant shall maintain daily <br />records of all diversions, replacements, and the amount of water used for each particular <br />purpose. The Applicant shall provide a report of these records to the Division Engineer <br />(Div1Accountinqstate.co.us) and the water commissioner (Bill Schneider at <br />William.Schneiderstate.co.us) on a monthly basis. The accounting must be submitted <br />within 30 calendar days of the end of the month for which the accounting is being made <br />and conform to the Administration Protocol "Augmentation Plan Accounting, Division <br />One — South Platte River" (attached). <br />In addition, the Applicant shall verify that the entity making replacements has included <br />this use on their accounting submitted to our office; for this plan, that entity is the City of <br />Greeley (WDID 0303330). <br />9. The name, mailing address, and phone number of the contact person who will be <br />responsible for operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the <br />accounting forms to the division engineer and water commissioner. <br />10. Replacement of lagged depletions shall continue until there is no longer an effect on <br />stream flow. <br />
