The required fee of <br />$257.00 for the renewal of this substitute water supply plan has been submitted (receipt no. <br />3661837). The original plan was approved on May 21, 2001 and was most recently approved on <br />November 26, 2013 for operations through October 31, 2013. <br />Plan Operation <br />This plan seeks to replace depletions resulting from mining operations at the Shores <br />gravel pit. The site contains four slurry walled areas, designated cells A through D, as shown <br />on the attached Figure 1. Together these four cells are planned to eventually be connected via <br />pipelines, by others, and become Shores Lake (WDID 0503900) as adjudicated in case no. <br />2000CW83. Cells A, B, C, and D were initially dewatered and dry mined. A slurry wall was <br />constructed around cells A and B and lining for these cells was approved in January 2007. A <br />slurry wall was also constructed around cell C and was approved in December 2009. A slurry <br />wall was constructed around cell D and was approved October 8, 2013. During the period of this <br />plan mining will only occur in cell D. The depletions that result from mining operations at the <br />Shores pit are evaporation, concrete batching and dust suppression. The proposed replacement <br />source is a lease with Central Colorado Water Conservancy District. These accretions are <br />applied to this plan against the evaporation and operational depletions at the site. <br />In accordance with the letter dated April 30, 2010 (copy attached) from the Colorado <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety ( "DRMS "), all sand and gravel mining operators <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 821, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3581 F 303.866.2223 www.water.state.co.us <br />✓ v, <br />Jg7 <br />
