Therefore, exposure of <br /> groundwater must not occur during or after mining operations. <br /> ® The applicant will need to document that any water used at the site was obtained from a legal <br /> source and be able to provide such documentation to this office upon request. <br /> ® Any stormwater runoff intercepted by this operation that is not diverted or captured in priority <br /> must infiltrate into the ground or be released to the stream system within 72 hours; otherwise the <br /> operator will need to make replacements for evaporation. <br /> COMMENTS: The subject application is to expand the area of a surface mining operation from 27.8 <br /> permitted acres to 59.2 acres located nine miles north of Crook, Colorado. The primary commodity to be <br /> mined at the site is road and construction base material. The site is proposed to be reclaimed to its <br /> pre-mining use of pastureland upon completion of mining operations. <br /> It is not anticipated that groundwater will be encountered during mining activities. <br /> The reclamation plan for the site includes replacing topsoil and grading as needed. It is anticipated that <br /> the site will revegetate naturally. <br /> If water is needed for dust control or other purposes at the site, it must be obtained from a legal source <br /> permitted or decreed for such industrial use. <br /> The applicant did not identify how stormwater falling on the site will be managed. Should stormwater be <br /> intercepted by this operation and not infiltrate into the ground or otherwise be released to the stream <br /> system within 72 hours, the operator will need to make replacements for evaporation through a substitute <br /> water supply plan approved by this office or a plan for augmentation decreed by the water court. <br /> The Division of Reclamation Mining St Safety and/or the applicant may contact the State Engineer's Office <br /> with any questions. <br /> - CO'0 <br /> 1313 Sherrt�arr Strut, Room 921, d rlv r, CO 80203 P 301-8h6_3591 hLLys:rldwr_LD[Dri3do.1Zav <br /> J�r�d 5_ Polis,Governor I fan Gibad, Exeeuliv� �ireCLor � It,�vin�_ It�in, 5Lale Lns�i�tecr r Uire[Lor <br /> f 1876 i <br />
