The mine is permitted with the Division of <br /> Reclamation, Mining, and Safety under File No. M-1986-015. The required renewal fee of <br /> $257.00 has been received and given receipt no. 10003518. <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 (Phase 1, 2, and 7) as shown in the attached Figure 1. <br /> Currently, mining in all phases has been completed. Castle is in the process of reclaiming the <br /> area. Phase 2 has been lined with an approved slurry wall per January 9, 2012 correspondence <br /> from the Division 2 Assistant Engineer. Reclamation of the Phase 1 pit and the Phase 7 pit will <br /> include backfilling the pits to a ground surface elevation at least two feet higher than the <br /> groundwater table. <br /> Consumptive use of water from the operation under this SWSP includes evaporation from up <br /> to 76.0 acres of surface area (65.0 acres in Phase 1, 1.0 acre in Phase 2, and 10.0 acres in <br /> Phase 7), dust control, and first-fill operations of the Phase 7 pit. <br /> Well permit no. 82461-F corresponds to Phase 1 and limits that portion of the operation to <br /> dust control and evaporation from 65.0 acres of exposed water and 282.05 acre-feet annually. <br /> Well Permit No. 75997-F corresponds to Phase 7 and limits that portion of the operation to <br /> evaporation from 5.0 acres of exposed water and 29.4 acre-feet annually (4% water content <br /> (J� Cpl� <br /> 1313 Sherman Street Room 821 Denver CO 80203 P 303.866.3581 www.colorado. ov/water <br /> Jared S.
