19.5 Batch Plant Commercial Well. The Batch Plant Commercial Well, Well Permit
2104 -F, provides water for commercial operations at the Batch Plant. For purposes of this plan
for augmentation, it will assumed that 100% of the water withdrawn from the well is consumed.
19.6 Batch Plant Irrigation Well. The Batch Plant Irrigation Well can be used to
provide irrigation water using a sprinkler system for up to thirty acres of land in the vicinity of
the Batch Plant. 80% of the water withdrawn from the well for irrigation purposes will be
deemed to be consumed, with 20% returning to the stream system as return flows. The Batch
Plant Irrigation Well will be pumped only if and to the extent that Applicant has more
augmentation water available than needed to fully augment depletions from the Barlow Pit and
Batch Plant Commercial Well.
19.7 Lagging of Depletions from Wells. The effect of withdrawals from the Batch
Plant Commercial Well and Irrigation Well have a delayed depletive effect on the South Platte
River. The table included in the accounting form attached hereto as Exhibit D sets forth the
delayed depletive effect owed to the South Platte River in each month as a percentage of the
annual withdrawals (excluding 20% of the irrigation withdrawal). Applicant will augment all out
of priority depletions from the such wells during the month that such depletions effect the South
Platte River as shown on such table, subject to the provisions of Section 23 below.
20. Annual Proiections. On or before May 31" of each year, Applicant will make a
projection of the operation of this plan for augmentation for the succeeding period of June I" to
May 315`, which shall be the annual operational period for this plan. The purpose of the
projection is to demonstrate that Applicant will have sufficient augmentation supplies to replace
all depletions and return flow obligations during the upcoming annual accounting period. The
projection will be provided to the Division Engineer. The Objectors will receive the projection
and all backup information to support the projection upon written request and payment of
reasonable copying and delivery costs.
20.1. Information Required. The annual projection shall include the following
information:
(a) The surface area of water exposed in the Barlow Pit, less the Exempt 2.7
Acres, and the resulting monthly net evaporative losses projected, based
on the table set forth in Section 19.1 above.
(b) The amount actually pumped from the Batch Plant Commercial Well and
Irrigation Well during the previous annual accounting period, together
with the amount and timing of delayed depletions to occur during the
current projection period based on past pumping of the Batch Plant
Commercial Well and Irrigation Well.
(c) Projected pumping from the Batch Plant Commercial Well and Irrigation
Well to occur in the upcoming accounting year, with a schedule of
projected monthly depletions resulting from such pumping.
