Mr. Rick Parsons, P.E. L.G. Everist Combined SWSP Amendment Page 7 of 9 Conditions of Approval May 28, 2013 I hereby approve the proposed substitute water supply plan in accordance with Section § 37 -90- 137(11), C.R.S. subject to the following conditions: 1. This plan is approved with an effective date of January 1, 2012 and shall be valid through December 31, 2013 unless otherwise revoked or modified. If this plan will not be made absolute by a water court action by the plan's expiration date, a renewal request must be submitted to this office with the statutory fee (currently $257 /pit) for each gravel pit no later than November 15, 2013. 2. Well permits must be obtained for the current use and exposed surface area at the Ft. Lupton /Lupton Meadows Pit in accordance with §37 -90- 137(2) and (11), C.R.S. in conjunction with this plan. The provisions of Colorado Revised Statute 37 -90- 137(2) prohibits the issuance of a permit for a well to be located within 600 feet of any existing well, unless the State Engineer finds that circumstances so warrant after a hearing held in accordance with the procedural rules in 2CCR402 -5. This hearing may be waived if you are able to obtain statements from the owners of all wells within 600 feet, verifying that they have no objection to your use of the proposed well. Should a new well permit be denied for reasons of 600 foot spacing, or any other legitimate reason, approval of this substitute supply plan may be cancelled. 3. Well permits were obtained for the current use and exposed pond surface area at the Lohmann Pit, Rinn Valley, and Firestone Pit, in accordance with §37 -90- 137(2) and (11), C.R.S., permit nos 70326 -F, 75968 -F, and 69155 -F, respectively. 4. The total area of pond surface exposed for each of the pits shall not exceed those values listed in Table A of this approval. Should the total surface area exposed exceed those amounts, an amendment request shall be promptly filed with this office. 5. The total amount of ground water to be appropriated from each of the pits shall not exceed the values listed in Table D of this approval. Approval of this plan is for the purposes as stated herein. Any additional uses of water must first be approved by this office. Any future additional historical consumptive use credit given (e.g., agricultural water transfer) for this site must consider all previous credits given. 7. All pumping for dust control shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the division engineer. 8. All reservoir deliveries and releases shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the water commissioner and division engineer. 9. The replacement water, which is the subject of this plan, cannot be sold or leased to any other entity. As a condition of subsequent renewals of this substitute water supply plan, the replacement water must be appurtenant to this site until a plan for augmentation is obtained. All replacement water must be concurrent with depletions in quantity, timing, and location. 10. The name, address, and phone number of the contact person who will be responsible for the operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the accounting forms submitted to the division engineer and the water commissioner. 11. All diversions shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the Division Engineer. The Applicant shall install and maintain such measuring devices as required by the Division Engineer for operation of this SWSP. In addition, the applicant shall maintain daily records of all diversions, replacements, and the amount of water used for each particular purpose. The applicant shall provide a report of these records to the division engineer and the water commissioner on a monthly basis on a form approved by them. The accounting must be submitted to the division engineer in Greeley (Div1Accounting(d,)state.co.us) and the water commissioners (Bill Schneider at
