Adatns Coun Plannin De artment '''~ ` _ ~_ ___ - 4955 East 74th Avenue . Commerce City, CO 80022 ~ Re: Sand Creek Farms, 46-92-C Sec. 3, T35, R61W, 6TH P.M W. Division 1, W. District 1 Dear Mr. Geyer: • We have reviewed the above referenced proposal to operate a sand and gravel minting operation on a 45 acre parcel. Although the depth of the proposed excavation was not stated, mining is to be accomplished without exposing ground water. Therefore the requirements of Sena[e Bill 180 do not apply. Drinking water for on site employees will be provided from bottled water. The application states that water for product washing will • be from existing wells on or near the property. The project is located within the Kiowa Bijou Designated Basin and ground water withdrawals are subject to the District's rules. Our records indicate that the non exempt wells in section 3 are all permitted for irrigation use. Anew permit for commercial use is • required before any irrigation wells could be used for product washing. Additionally, it appears as though these shallow wells can not operate without a replacement plan. We have no objection to the muting operation, as long as groundwater is not exposed, and contingent upon product washing being prohibited until the applicant identifies a legal supply for the required water. • If you have any questions in this matter, please contact me. Sincerely, John Schurer, P.E. Senior Water Resource Engineer • JS/sander cc: Alan Berryman, Division Engineer Bruce DeBrine I•
