This amendment increases the reserves of gravel <br /> in the mine. The proposed operation will continue to consume ground water through <br /> evaporation, dust control, reclamation, water removed with the mined product, processing, <br /> dewatering and concrete batching. In accordance with Section 37-90-137(2) and (11), C.R.S., <br /> the applicant obtained a substitute water supply plan ("SWSP") and well permit no. 61716-F. <br /> However with the proposed expansion the Applicant will be required to obtain a new SWSP or <br /> well permit if additional acreage will be exposed beyond what is allowed by the SWSP or the <br /> well permit no. 61716-F. So long as the Shores Pit is operated in accordance with an approved <br /> SWSP or approved plan for augmentation, this office has no objection to the request. <br /> Any storm water runoff intercepted by this operation that is not diverted or captured in <br /> priority must infiltrate into the ground or be released to the stream system within 72 hours. <br /> Otherwise, the operator will be required to make replacements for evaporation. <br /> The applicant may contact the State Engineer's Office with any questions. <br /> /-0 co�� <br /> lkw \p <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 821,Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3581 www.colorado.gov/water <br /> Jared S.
