Ms. Michelle L. Hatcher <br />Hokestra SWSP <br />April 10, 2013 <br />Page 7 of 9 <br />3. The total surface area of the groundwater exposed at the Hokestra Pit must not exceed <br />56.4 acres (exposed after December 31, 1980) resulting in a maximum annual evaporative <br />loss of 88.8 acre -feet. <br />4. The reclaimed area irrigated from the lakes shall not exceed 0.15 acres of blue grass <br />and 5.5 acres of native grass with a consumption not to exceed 9.6 acre -feet. <br />5. Total consumption at the Hokestra Pit must not exceed 98.4 acre -feet per year, unless an <br />amendment is made to this plan. <br />6. Approval of this plan is for the purposes as stated herein. Any additional uses for which <br />the water may be used must first be approved by this office. <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. All replacement water must be concurrent with depletions in quantity, timing <br />and locations. <br />8. All diversions into and out of the 112 Reservoir shall be measured in a manner <br />acceptable to the division engineer or water commissioner. The applicant shall install <br />and maintain such measuring devices as required by the division engineer or water <br />commissioner for operation of this plan. <br />9. The replacement water must be returned from the Rural Ditch to the St. Vrain River <br />through a turn -out structure approved by the Water Commissioner, preferably the <br />existing farm diversion point on the ditch used to divert water to the historically irrigated <br />lands. Since a turn -out structure has not been installed on the Rural Ditch, for the <br />purpose of this SWSP the applicant is proposing to run the 3.75 shares of the Rural <br />Ditch through Varra Pit No. 112, use the measuring device already install in the 112 <br />Reservoir, and return the shares back to the river for replacement. This proposal is <br />accepted for this SWSP, however for any subsequent renewal request the applicant <br />must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the water commissioner that a turn -out structure <br />on the existing farm diversion point on the ditch used to divert water to the historically <br />irrigated lands has been installed or is diligently being pursued. <br />10. 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 with the accounting form to <br />the division engineer and water commissioner. <br />9. Adequate accounting of depletions and replacements must be provided to the division <br />engineer in Greeley (Div1Accountinq(a�state.co.us) and the water commissioner (Shera <br />Sumerford at Shera.Sumerfordstate.co.us) on a monthly basis. Submitted accounting <br />shall conform to the Administration Protocol "Augmentation Plan Accounting, Division <br />One — South Platte Basin" (attached) <br />11. 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. <br />12. All releases of replacement water must be sufficient to cover all out of priority depletions <br />and be made under the direction and /or approval of the water commissioner. The <br />replacement may be aggregated to maximize beneficial use. The water commissioner <br />and /or division engineer shall determine the rate and timing of an aggregated release. <br />
