Steve O'Brian, (303) 423 -7297 <br />Sec. 33, Twp. 4 North, Rng. 71 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County <br />CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL <br />® The proposed operation does not anticipate exposing groundwater. Therefore, exposure of ground <br />water must not occur during or after mining operations. <br />The applicant has indicated plans to use other water for hole drilling purposes at the permit site. The <br />source of water for this use was not specified. Applicant needs to document that this water was diverted <br />in priority under a water right permitted or decreed for such industrial use. Applicant should contact the <br />water commissioner for further information. <br />COMMENTS: The applicant proposes to conduct a surface mining operation on approximately 3 acres located <br />7.6 miles northwest of Lyons, Colorado. The primary commodity to be mined is granite. The current and future <br />(post- mining) use of the land is rangeland. The mining plan indicates that water will be used for drilling holes <br />related to blasting at the site. Such water must be from a source permitted or decreed for such <br />commercial /industrial use. <br />If stormwater runoff is intercepted by this operation and is not diverted or captured in priority, it must be released <br />to the stream system within 72 hours This may require a discharge permit from CDPHE -WQCD. Otherwise, <br />the operator must make replacements for evaporation. <br />RECEIVED <br />OCT 17 701.1 <br />DIVISION OF RECLAMATION <br />MINING AND SAFETY <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.watenstate.co.us <br />
