Therefore, exposure of ground <br />water must not occur during or after mining operations. <br />® The applicant has indicated plans to use water for the following purposes at the permit site: ❑ <br />evaporation, ® dust control, ❑ reclamation, ❑ water removed in the mined product, ❑ processing, <br />® other: crushing and screening. The applicant will need to document that this water was obtained <br />from a legal source, or was diverted in priority under a water right decreed for such mining /industrial <br />use. <br />COMMENTS: The subject application is for a surface mining operation on 161.1 permitted acres located near <br />New Raymer, Colorado. The primary commodities to be mined at the site are gravel and sand for aggregate <br />construction materials. The site is proposed to be reclaimed to its current use of rangeland upon completion <br />of this mining operation. <br />The mining operation is not anticipated to disturb the hydrologic balance. Groundwater is not expected to be <br />encountered during mining. If groundwater is exposed, excavation will cease at an elevation of two feet above <br />the groundwater level. <br />Water for dust suppression, crushing, and screening will be obtained from water trucks filled from an <br />appropriately adjudicated source. Potable water will be supplied as bottled water. <br />Berms and ditches will be maintained to ensure all stormwater from within the active disturbed area flows into <br />the pit. Any storm water runoff intercepted by this operation that is not diverted or captured in priority must <br />infiltrate into the ground or be released to the stream system within 72 hours. Otherwise, the operator will be <br />required 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 303.866.3585 www.water.state.co.us <br />�w of cozo�P�. <br />o, <br />
