Hickenlooper <br />Governor <br />Mike King <br />Executive Director <br />Dick Wolfe, P.E. <br />Director <br />Response to Reclamation Permit Conversion Application Consideration <br />September 23, 2013 <br />Peter S. Hays, Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Division 1 Office, District 64 Water Commissioner <br />Sarah Brucker, P.E._ <br />/V'11 <br />Barton Barton Pit, File No. M- 2000 -149 <br />Operator. Dumb & Dumber Trucking, LLC b/ <br />Contact. Brian Barton, k9 10) 520 -3392 <br />SE' /4 Section 8, Twp 6 North, Rng 51 West, 6th P.M., Logan County <br />CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL <br />® The proposed operation does not anticipate exposing groundwater. Therefore, exposure of ground water <br />must not occur during or after mining operations. <br />® The applicant does not propose to use any water at the permit site. If water will be used for any purpose at <br />this site, the applicant will need to document that the water was obtained from a legal source, or the water <br />was diverted in priority under a water right decreed for such industrial use. <br />® If stormwater runoff is intercepted by this operation and is not diverted or captured in priority, it must infiltrate <br />into the ground or be released to the stream system within 72 hours. This may require a discharge permit <br />from CDPHE -WQCD. Otherwise, the operator will be required to make replacements for evaporation. <br />COMMENTS: The subject application seeks to convert permit no. M- 2000 -149 for the Barton Pit from a 110(c) <br />Limited Impact Construction Materials Permit to a 112(c) Regular Construction Materials Permit. The application will <br />increase the number of permitted acres from 9.183 to 65.29 acres, an increase of 56.107 acres. The primary <br />commodity to be mined at the site is gravel, which will be used primarily for road base and landscaping purposes. <br />This will be a surface mining operation. <br />The mining plan proposes to mine the site to a depth of approximately 60 feet. According to the submittal, adjacent <br />well logs indicate that the static water level is at a depth of 180 feet; therefore, the floor of the excavation is <br />anticipated to be at least 120 feet above the ground water table. There are no water structures on or adjacent to the <br />site. <br />No water is proposed to be used in conjunction with the mining operation. Dust control measures have not been <br />necessary in the past and are not anticipated by the operator to be necessary at this site in the future. <br />The site is proposed to be reclaimed to its current use of pastureland upon completion of mining activities. <br />The applicant may contact the State Engineer's Office with any questions. <br />Office of the State Engineer <br />1313 Sherman Street, Suite 818 • Denver, CO 80203 • Phone: 303 - 866 -3581 • Fax: 303 - 866 -3589 <br />www wifor atatp m nc <br />
