The mine is permitted with the <br /> Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety under Permit No. M-2008-078. The required fee of $257 <br /> (receipt no. 10019564) has been submitted. <br /> SWSP OPERATION <br /> This plan seeks to replace depletions resulting from mining operations at the West Farm Pit. The mine <br /> is located in Prowers County in the S1/2 of the SE1/4 of Section 28 and the NE1/4 and the NW1/4 of <br /> Section 33, Township 22 South, Range 46 West of the 6th P.M. Depletions from the mining operations <br /> include evaporative losses from the dewatering trench, settling pond, moisture content, dust control <br /> and product washing. Depletions from the mining operations have been fully replaced under LAWMA's <br /> augmentation plan originally decreed in Case No. 02CW181. The evaporative losses from the <br /> dewatering trench, settling pond and moisture content will be augmented under this SWSP, while the <br /> dust control and aggregate washing will continue to be augmented under LAWMA's plan. <br /> DEPLETIONS <br /> BSG operates a dry-mining gravel pit. The site was previously operated by GP Aggregates, LLC. The pit <br /> has an installed liner, which was approved in a letter dated January 31, 2018 by this office, the <br /> Division of Water Resources ("DWR"). Dewatering trenches keep the water table down and are used <br /> throughout the site. The water removed by the dewatering trenches is collected in a settling pond. <br /> Once the sediments are no longer suspended, the water is pumped into a lateral and delivered back <br /> to the Arkansas River. <br /> �4 OF COCO <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 821, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3581 dwr.colorado.sov 0 <br /> Jared S.
