Hernandez, Senior Reclamation Specialist <br />FROM: George D. VanSlywe, Supervising Geologist r',,_/ <br />Division of Water Resources `, <br />SUBJECT: Zftk: Gravel Pit, File No. M-91-146, Section 2, T44N, RBW, <br />New Mexico P.M. <br />Water Division 4, Water District 68 <br />VJe have reviev+ed the above referenced mining permit application per <br />your request of December 19, 1991. The application is to conduct <br />surface mining and reclamation. The review shows that it is <br />anticipated that the pit will not intercept groundwater even though <br />it is located next to the Uncompahgre River which is an over- <br />appropriated stream. The reclamation plan calls returning the area <br />to its natural state. Test pits and trenches were dug to see if <br />groundwater would be encountered. All these er,caa~ations a+ere dry <br />ate the time ofi excavation. <br />While we can recommend approval of this operation, we must advise <br />that should groundwater be exposed t^ the atmosphere, the operator <br />must obtain a valid well permit from the Office of the State <br />Engineer and a substitute supply plan or plan for augmer~tation <br />prior to beginning operation. <br />Please contact this office if you have any additional questions. <br />cc: k:eith k:epler, Division Engineer <br />Roger fJoble, Water Commissioner <br />
