Walther <br />Executive Director <br />Hal D. Simpson, P, E. <br />Stale Engineer <br />CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL <br />^ The proposed operation does not anticipate exposing groundwater. Therefore, exposure of ground <br />water must not occur during or after mining operations. <br />® The proposed operation will consume ground water by: ^ evaporation, ®dust control, ^ <br />reclamation, ^ water removed in the mined product, ®processing, ^ other:. <br />Prior tct initiation of these uses of ground water, the applicant will need to obtain either a gravel pit <br />or other type of well permit, as applicable. However, prior to obtaining a permit, an approved water <br />supply plan or decreed plan for augmentation is required. <br />^ Prior to approving a well permit, the applicant must conduct a field inspection of the site and <br />document the locations of all wells within 600 feet of the permit area. The applicant must then <br />obtain a waiver of objection from all well owners with wells within 600 feet of the permit area or <br />request a hearing before the State Engineer. <br />® Other: The applicant states that they have applied for three well permits to use 363.3 acre-feet/year. <br />COMMENTS: The application did not clearly state if water will also be removed in the mined product, if <br />evaporation will occur from ground water that is exposed, or if evaporation will occur from storm water that <br />remains on-site for more than 72 hours. These issues must be stated (if they apply) in the request for a water <br />supply plan or decreed plan for augmentation. <br />
