<br />Deep percolation return flows for the Diamond A, Schweizer, Mameda, Groves, and Mayhoffer Farms will be lagged using the URFs attached in Appendix G, subject to revisions to the URFs <br /> as ordered by the Division Engineer’s Office. Return flows will be maintained via release of supplies available to CS-U listed in [Table 9] or other fully consumable sources available <br /> to CS-U for replacement of return flows. Transit losses will be assessed from the point of release to the confluence of the Arkansas River and/or Crooked Arroyo based on the augmentation <br /> station(s) in use for the Pilot Project. <br />[Potentially Insert Term and Condition regarding high groundwater after Martin and Wood analyzes issue] <br />Fallowed parcels must be at least ten acres in size unless they comprise all of an existing CDSS parcel that is already less than ten acres. Parcels that represent a portion of an existing <br /> field can only be split in the same direction of historic irrigation unless a means of physical separation is approved by the CWCB based on the written determination of the State Engineer. <br /> A physical separation must exist between any irrigated portion of a parcel and the dry-up portion. For dry-up fields left fallow or with a dry-land cover crop without permanent root <br /> system (that is, not alfalfa or pasture grass for example), the separation can be a ditch or tilled strip at least ten feet in width that prevents irrigation application from reaching <br /> the dry-up parcel. For partial fields containing deep-rooted crops such as alfalfa or pasture grass, a deep tilled separation of at least 25 feet must be maintained along with any ditches <br /> necessary to ensure no irrigation application to the dry-up portion. For any dry-up parcel that is planted with a dry-land crop (haygrazer, milo, millet, etc.), the crop should either <br /> be drilled at an angle to normal irrigation direction or a tilled strip maintained at the top of the field that clearly separates the crop from any possible irrigation source or both. <br />Dry-up of the fallowed fields will comply with the "Operating Procedures for Administration of Parcels Claimed for Augmentation Credits" of the Colorado State Engineer's Office. Re-irrigation <br /> of dry-up parcels with any source of water, including groundwater, shall not be allowed during the year in which such parcel is fallowed in Pilot Project operations. No partial year <br /> dry-up shall be permitted. <br />Super Ditch will notify the Division Engineer of the status (dry land crop (must specify type), tilled and fallow, not tilled and fallow, stubble of past crop left on field, etc.) of <br /> each fallowed field in the Pilot Project by April 15 of each year of operations. <br />Super Ditch shall monitor fallowed parcels on a periodic basis to confirm the adequacy of dry-up in conformance with the terms and conditions of this approval. Should noncompliance with <br /> the dry-up requirements be discovered,
