The mine is <br />permitted with the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety under File No. M-1986-015. <br />The previous SWSP was approved April 12, 2018 for the period February 1, 2018 through <br />January 31, 2020. This SWSP approval supersedes the previous approval dated April 12, 2018. <br />The required renewal fee of $257.00 has been received under receipt no. 3687190. <br />PLAN OPERATION <br />The gravel operation is located east of Pueblo between Highway 50 and the Arkansas River. <br />This pit did not exist, and no ground water was exposed, prior to January 1, 1981. The <br />operation consists of several phases as shown in the attached Figure 1. Currently, mining in <br />Phase 1 has been completed and Transit Mix is in the process of reclaiming the area by <br />backfilling the pit. Mining in Phase 2 has also been completed and has been lined with an <br />approved slurry wall per January 9, 2012 correspondence from the Division 2 Assistant <br />Engineer. Mining in Phase 7 began in December 2012, and Phase 7 is currently the main active <br />mining area. However, Transit Mix is currently backfilling portions of Phase 7 and mining is <br />not actively occurring at this time. Transit Mix may resume mining activities in Phase 7 within <br />the period of this SWSP. Consumptive use of water from the operation under this SWSP <br />includes evaporation from up to 71.0 acres of surface area (65.0 acres in Phase 1, 1.0 acre in <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 82.1, Denver, CO 80203 P 303,866.3581 www_colorado.soy /water <br />John W.
