CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL
® The proposed operation does not anticipate exposing groundwater. Therefore, exposure of ground
water must not occur during or after mining operations.
^ The proposed operation will consume ground water by: ^ evaporation, ^ dust control, ^
reclamation, ^ water removed in the mined product, ^ processing, ^ other: .
Prior to initiation of these uses of ground water, the applicant will need to obtain either a gravel pit or
other type of well permit, as applicable. However, prior to obtaining a permit, an approved water
supply plan or decreed plan for augmentation is required.
^ Prior to approving a well permit, the applicant must conduct a field inspection of the site and
document the locations of all wells within 600 feet of the permit area. The applicant must then obtain
a waiver of objection from all well owners with wells within 600 feet of the permit area or request a
hearing before the State Engineer.
® Other: The proposed diversion of storm runoff into a pond may have potential impact on existing
water rights near the project location. A water right or plan of augmentation may be required before
storm runoff can be diverted and/or impounded. Applicant should contact the Designated Basins
