Once dewatering at the sites cease, the delayed <br />depletions must be addressed, including depletions resulting from the gradual refilling of the pit. <br />At least three years prior to completion of dewatering at the Overland Ponds Site Pit, Home <br />Office Pit, and North Taft Hill Expansion Site Pit, a plan must be submitted that specifies how <br />the post pumping dewatering depletions (including refilling the pit) will be replaced, in time, <br />place and amount. Submitted accounting must include monthly meter reads from the <br />dewatering pump. <br />18. In accordance with amendments to §25 -8- 202(7), C.R.S., and "Senate Bill 89 -181 Rules and <br />Regulations" adopted on February 4, 1992, the State Engineer shall determine whether the <br />substitute supply is of a quality to meet requirements of use to senior appropriators. As such, <br />water quality data or analysis may be requested at any time to determine if the water quality is <br />appropriate for downstream water users. <br />19. The decision of the state engineer shall have no precedential or evidentiary force, shall not <br />create any presumptions, shift the burden of proof, or serve as a defense in any pending water <br />court case or any other legal action that may be initiated concerning this plan. This decision <br />shall not bind the state engineer to act in a similar manner in any other applications involving <br />other plans, or in any proposed renewal of this plan, and shall not imply concurrence with any <br />findings of fact or conclusions of law contained herein, or with the engineering methodologies <br />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 />Sincerely, <br />D eatherage, P.E. <br />e of Water Supply <br />Attachments: Tables 1 — 5 (revised 2/6/13) <br />Figure 1 <br />Division One Administration Protocols (Augmentation Plan Accounting, Dry-Up of <br />Irrigated Land) <br />Cc: Jonathan Hernandez, Water Resource Engineer; ionathan .hernandez(a�state.co.us <br />810 9 Street, 2 Floor, Greeley, Colorado 80631, 970 - 352 -8712 <br />Mark Simpson, Water Commissioner, Water District 3; mark.simpsonstate.co.us <br />1400 Highway 287 North, Ft.
