Poudre Pits Combined SWSP Page 6 of 9 June 18, 2014 protection of water resources. The April 30, 2010 letter from DRMS requires that you provide information to DRMS to demonstrate you can replace long term injurious stream depletions that result from mining related exposure of ground water. For any gravel pit whose reclamation includes unlined ponds, a plan of augmentation approved by the water court must be obtained to cover the long term evaporative depletions. Until an augmentation plan is obtained the operator may post a sufficient bond to backfill or line the site thereby eliminating any long term augmentation requirements, or permanently dedicate shares that will be used in an augmentation plan to the pit. For any gravel pit whose reclamation includes lining or backfiRing of the pit, bonds must be posted that can be used to complete the reclamation plan should the operator walk away from the site. North la Poudre and La Poudre pits have been bonded through DRMS and are in compliance with the April 2010 DRMS letter (approach #1 and #3). The Roberts phase within the Firestein/Tigges/Roberts pit is augmented under the plan for augmentation approved in case no. 2002CW331 and is in compliance with the April 2010 DRMS letter (approach #2). The Firestein and Tigges phase within the Firestein/Tigges/Roberts pit was found to have inadequate bonds and is thus not in compliance with the April 2010 DRMS letter. The operator has worked out a temporary share dedication with the Tigges landowner Kenny Tigges dedicating 8 shares of his Whitney Ditch Water to cover long term evaporative losses. This is not a permanent dedication and thus does not meet the State Engineer's requirements of the April 2010 DRMS letter approach #4. The operator has been in contact with DRMS and is working on a way to bring the site into compliance with exposed groundwater requirements. By the next SWSP renewal the operator is required to provide to our office evidence they have fully bonded the site, obtained an adequate and permanent share dedication, or that they have an approved plan with DRMS to bring the site into compliance over a set time period. A summary of each pit's status regarding their long term augmentation and bonding held through DRMS is shown on the following table: Table F - Final Reclamation Summary Site DRMS Proposed Final Bond Comments Name Permit # Reclamation Amount Firestein Unlined Ponds 1/10/2013 inspection found bond to be inadequate to address long term augmentation requirements Tigges M-1996-060 Unlined Ponds $115,500 due to exposed groundwater. DRMS requirements for exposed groundwater on site are not met. Roberts Unlined Pond Augmented through 02CW331 (Lake Shiloh, WDID 0303790) North la Operator increased reclamation liability bond on Poudre M-2000-144 Unlined Ponds $5237200 4/22/2013 to comply with DRMS requirements for exposed groundwater on site. Lined and Unlined Operator increased reclamation liability bond on La Poudre M-1983-090 Ponds $915,820 5/3/2013 to comply with DRMS requirements for exposed groundwater on site. Conditions of Approval I hereby approve the proposed substitute water supply plan in accordance with S 37-90- 137(11), C.R.S., subject to the following conditions: 1. This plan shall be valid for the period of January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014 unless otherwise revoked or modified. If this plan will not be made absolute by a water court action by the plan's expiration date, a renewal request must be submitted to this office
