The issuance of this permit does not ensure that no injury will occur to another vested water right or preclude another owner of a vested water right from seeking relief in a civil court action. 2) Pursuant to Rule 10.1.6 of the Water Well Construction Rules, gravel pit wells are exempt from the minimum well construction standards except for contamination considerations as stated in the Rule. That Rule is viewed as applying to this clay mine well. The owner of the pit shall take necessary means and precautions to prevent contaminants from entering the pit. 3) Approved pursuant to CRS 37 -90- 107(7) and the Findings and Order of the Colorado Ground Water Commission dated February 12, 2007, for Determination of Water Right No. 1029 -BD and the Finding of the Ground Water Comission dated February 12, 2007 for Permit No. 65324 -F. 4) The average annual amount of ground water to be appropriated shall not exceed 12.0 acre -feet with the total surface area of the proposed ground water pond limited to no more than 3.09 acres, subject to the total annual withdrawal limitations and conditions as specified by the above referenced Order of the Commission. 5) The use of ground water, in addition to evaporation, is limited to dewatering to facilitate mining. No other use of water is allowed unless a permit therefore is approved. The place of use shall be limited to the 200 acre land area claimed in the above described Order of the Commission. 6) This clay mine well must be constructed to withdraw water from only the Lower Dawson aquifer, which extends to a depth of approximately 120 feet below the ground surface. 7) The owner shall mark the well in a conspicuous place with the well permit number and name of aquifer as appropriate, and shall take necessary means and precautions to preserve these markings. 8) No more than 98% of the ground water withdrawn annually shall be consumed. The Commission may require well owners to demonstrate periodically that no more than 98% of the water withdrawn is being consumed. 9) The boundaries of the pit shall be more than 600 feet from any existing well, completed in the same aquifer, that is not owned by the applicant. 10) A totalizing flow meter must be installed so as to measure any pumping from this pit and maintained in good working order. Permanent records of all diversions from the pit, and the surface area of ground water exposure shall be maintained by the well owner (recorded at least annually) and submitted to the Commission upon request. 11) Pursuant to Policy 2000 -4 of the State Board of Examiners of Water Well Construction and Pump Installation Contractors (Board), no pumping equipment shall be installed in the pit well to withdraw water for any beneficial use, unless a separate written request for a variance has been approved by the Board.
