Paul Weiss, P.E. Page 4 <br />Journey Ventures Pit Amendment October 16, 2015 <br />In accordance with approach nos. 1 and 3, you have indicated that a bond has been obtained <br />for $349,524 through the DRMS to assure that depletions from groundwater evaporation do <br />not occur in the unforeseen event, or events, that would lead to the abandonment of the Pit. <br />7. Dewatering operations must be measured by totalizing flow meters that can accurately show the <br />monthly volume of water dewatered into the silt pond and the recharge. Any dewatering water <br />placed into silt pond and recharge pond cannot be used for any purpose by the operator, and <br />must be allowed to accrete to the stream. The provision in the SWSP allowing the silt pond <br />and the recharge pond may not be continued in SWSP renewals should it be determined by <br />the water commissioner or division engineer that water within the silt pond and the recharge <br />pond is being diverted for use and accounting is not adequate to show the recharge of <br />dewatering is occurring. <br />If you have any questions concerning this approval, please contact loana Comaniciu in Denver at <br />(303) 866-3581 or Michael Hein in Greeley at (970) 352-8712. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jeff Deatherage, P.E., <br />Chief of Water Supply <br />Attachment: Figure 1 <br />Tables 1, 2 and 3 <br />cc: Michael Hein, Assistant Division Engineer, Mike.Hein@state.co.us <br />Evan Snyder, Water Commissioner, District 1, Evan.Snyder@state.co.us <br />Brent Schantz, River Operations a Compact Coordinator, Brent.Schantz®state.co.us <br />Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety <br />
