The purpose of this SWSP request is to revise the current SWSP to cover limited irrigation <br /> water uses for reclamation purposes and to add a supplemental source of augmentation supply. <br /> Approval of this SWSP supersedes the prior approval that was issued for the period of February <br /> 1, 2019 through January 31, 2021. The prior SWSP has no further force or effect. The gravel <br /> pit is permitted with the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety ("DRMS") under File No. <br /> M-2001-005, and is permitted with the Division of Water Resources under Well Permit No. 79268-F. <br /> The required $257 fee for the SWSP renewal request has been received under receipt no. 10003091. <br /> SWSP OPERATION <br /> Castle has a lease agreement with the Grisenti family to mine sand and gravel from approximately <br /> 100 acres of land along the Arkansas River east of Florence. The mining operation is divided into <br /> two phases. Phase 1 involved the mining of approximately 35 acres located east of Highway 115 and <br /> west of Brush Hollow Creek. Phase 1 has been completed, and the reclaimed pit serves as a water <br /> recharge pond for SWSP operations. Mining operations have been completed in Phase 2, and the <br /> Applicant is in the process of completing final reclamation of the site, including the first fill of the <br /> Phase 2 pit. The two ponds will be used for wildlife habitat and aquifer recharge associated with a <br /> long-term augmentation plan for the site. The attached Figure 1 shows the project phases. <br /> . w lI <br /> , � Flo <br /> ,y�; e 1 W�, i :c, C 8J20 <br /> 3 e )sywN10Wµd 1 Lr u ,.� �II N �. 1I iviJ <br /> -, <br /> , <br /> J&r,,ed .M L s u ��� � !� ly s Exec� � III � � �aState <br /> u <br /> I <br /> ..7 <br />
