The Division has identified four approaches for operators <br />1 File a financial warranty that will ensure backfilling of the pit to cover the exposed ground water to a <br />depth of two feet above the static ground water level or <br />2 Obtain a court approved augmentation plan prior to exposing ground water or <br />3 File a financial warranty to cover the cost of installing a clay liner or slurry wall that meets the <br />Division of Water Resources requirements for preventing ground water exposure or <br />4 Obtain approval from the Division of Water Resources that acknowledges compliance with the SEOs <br />requirements pursuant to 379013711 <br />The Division will work with operators on an individual basis as they move to implement one of these plans It <br />is likely that options 1 and 3 will require the submittal of a technical revision or an amendment to the existing <br />permit depending on the nature of the current mining and reclamation plan and the proposed changes <br />Increased financial warranties as a result of these modifications may be posted in a phased manner not to <br />exceed three years Amendments or revisions currently under review will be required to be approved by <br />April 30 2011 and may use the phased financial warranty approach described above New applications goingforwardorpresentlyunderreviewbytheDivisionwillberequiredtomeettherequirementsofoneofthe <br />options 14 at the time of application approval Failure of affected operators to initiate contact with the <br />Division and gain compliance as described above could result in an enforcement action being issued by the <br />Division <br />If you have any questions please contact Tony Waldron at 3038663567 extension 8150 <br />cc M1977141 Lyons Quarry <br />M2004051 Wattenberg Lakes <br />M2004031 Hazeltine Mine <br />M2004044 Tucson South Resource <br />M2003069 Timberline Resource <br />M2001016 Fredstrom Resource <br />M1989120 Platte Valley Operation <br />M1984164 Neighbors Pit <br />M1997014 Deer Creek Quarry <br />M1999021 Stegner Farms <br />M1999034 Cooley Reservoir Fulton Wildlife Area <br />M1999098 Riverview Resources <br />M1990007 CamenishLarson Pit <br />M2000087 Milliken Resource <br />M2000082 E 8th Street Operation <br />M1994027 Longmont Operation <br />M1977436 Brighton Mine <br />M1973021 Morrison Quarry <br />M1989029 Longmont Distel Operations <br />M1991140 Tucson Resource Mine <br />M1992069 83rd Joint Venture <br />M1994093 Dahlia North Resources Pit
