We have received your letter of November 24, 1999 requesting renewal of the above
referenced substitute water supply plan.
This plan has been operating since 1987. Water is pumped from 8-Mile Creek into a
pond for subsequent gravel processing. No ground water is exposed in this operation. The
current replacement source of water is supplied by the City of Colorado Spring's Twin Lakes
Canal Company account, Turquoise CF&I account, or Pueblo Reservoir. The applicant has
obtained a purchase agreement for up to 20 acre-feet per year from the City of Colorado
Springs (City) up until December 31, 2002.
The projected total annual consumptive use for this plan period is approximately 20
acre-feet and is broken down as follows (see Table No. 1):
1. Dust control will consume 10.0 acre-feet.
2. Evaporation will consume 4.$ acre-feet (30"/12" x 1.6 acres}.
3. Moisture retained in washed material will be 2.9 acre-felt.
4. Transit losses of 12% constitute 2.1 acre-feet.
The State and Division Engineers have reviewed the plan and the adequacy of each
source of water provided for use as augmentation water, including, where necessary, the
historical consumptive use of each water right, and return flows from diversion of waters
imported into the Arkansas River Basin or other fully consumable waters proposed for use
as augmentation water. In accordance with Section 25-8-202(7), C.R.S. and Senate Bill 89-
181 Rules and Regulations adopted on February 4, 1992, the State Engineer has
determined that subject to the terms and conditions below, the replacement supply is of a
quality to meet the requirements of use to senior appropriators.
