Scott, Environmental Protection Specialist <br />CC: Division 1 Office, District 1 Water Commissioner <br />FROM: Sarah Brucker, P. E. , <br />RE: North Star Pit, File No. M- 2012 -004 <br />Operator: Superior Oilfield Services Co., Ltd. <br />Contact: Rick Miller, (970) 352 -4444 <br />Section 22, Twp 12 North, Rng 63 West, 6th P.M., Weld County <br />CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL <br />® The proposed operation does not anticipate exposing groundwater. Therefore, exposure of <br />ground water must not occur during or after mining operations. <br />® The applicant has indicated plans to use other water for dust control purposes at the permit site. <br />Applicant will need to document that this 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 />COMMENTS: The application seeks to convert M- 2012 -004 from a 110(c) Limited Impact Construction <br />Materials Permit to a 112(c) Regular Construction Materials Permit. The application also seeks to add <br />2.65 acres to the currently permitted 9.90 acres, for a total permit area of 12.55 acres. <br />The primary commodities to be mined at the site are sand and gravel. The site is proposed to be <br />reclaimed to its current use of rangeland upon completion of mining operations. <br />Approximately 6,000 gallons of water per day will be required for dust control purposes. This water is to <br />be obtained from an industrial well located in Wyoming. <br />If stormwater runoff is intercepted by this mining operation and is not diverted or captured in priority, it <br />must be released to the stream system within 72 hours, which may require a discharge permit from <br />CDPHE -WQCD. Otherwise, the operator will need to make replacements for evaporation. <br />The applicant may contact the State Engineer's Office with any questions. <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 821, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3581 F 555.555.5555 www.water.state,co.us <br />
