Mr. David Shohet June 12, 2013 Replacements Page 2 Valco is responsible for providing replacement water until the property transfer is completed. The property transfer from Valco to Lamar is scheduled for April 30, 2013. As shown on the attached Table 1, the evaporation and replacement requirement for April 2013 is 6.29 acre -feet. Valco will dedicate 7 preferred shares at 1 acre -foot per share to the plan for April. Conditions of Approval This substitute water supply plan is hereby approved pursuant to Section 37 -90- 137(11), C.R.S., subject to the following conditions: 1. This SWSP shall be valid for the period of April 1, 2013 through May 31, 2013, unless otherwise revoked, modified, or superseded by decree. Should an additional SWSP be requested, such renewal request must be submitted to this office with the statutory fee of $257 per gravel pit at least 45 days prior to the expiration date of this plan. 2. No more than 35.4 acres (22.2 acres of post -1981 exposure) may be exposed at the Lamar East Pit during this plan year without first obtaining an amendment to the plan. 3. Subject to approval by the Division Engineer, the Applicant may lease or purchase additional replacement water from the sources approved in this plan. The Applicant must provide a copy of a lease /purchase agreement to the State Engineer's Office and the Division Engineer for use of such additional replacement water. Should any of the leases expire prior to the expiration of this plan, lease renewals must be obtained and submitted within 2 weeks of their expiration. 4. Approval of this SWSP is for the purposes stated herein. The State Engineer's Office must first approve any additional uses for which the water may be used. The replacement water, which is the subject of this SWSP, cannot be sold or leased to any other entity during the term of this SWSP without prior approval of the Division Engineer. 5. Under this approval, the evaporative depletions associated Lamar East Pit have been assumed instantaneous due to their proximity to the Arkansas River being within 100 feet. The Applicant is hereby notified that any subsequent SWSP renewal for these pits must include depletions that have been lagged to the Arkansas River. The lagging effect shall be based on the distance from the centroids of the exposed ground water surfaces to the Arkansas River. This will ensure that all replacements replace depletions in time, location, and amount. 6. The Applicant shall provide to the Division Engineer, within 30 days of the date of this approval, an electronic Excel spreadsheet showing, by WDID, the owner or contact person name, address and telephone number for each structure covered or used in this SWSP. The Applicant shall also provide to the Division Engineer an updated version of this spreadsheet if there are any owner or contact person changes within the approval period of this SWSP. 7. Release of the Pueblo waters must be under the Division Engineer's direction and approval. B. The Applicant shall provide daily accounting (including, but not limited to diversions, depletions, replacement sources, and river calls) on a monthly basis. The accounting must be emailed to the Water Commissioner Joshua.Kasperaastate.co.us and to the Division Engineer (e -mail to Div2Ground .Watert3-state.co.us), within 30 days of the end of the month for which the accounting applies. Accounting and reporting procedures are subject to approval and modification by the Division Engineer. Accounting forms need to identify the WDID number for each well operating under this SWSP. NOTE: Monthly accounting, even during the winter non - irrigation season, is required.
