We have reviewed the above referenced application for a sand and gravel pit on a 1,470 acre
site located immediately north of the Arkansas River, west of the town of Holly.
The mining plans involve exposure and resulting evaporation of ground water, with an
anticipated 410 acres of permanent lakes being created. In addition water will be consumed
through activities such as: product washing, dust suppression, hauling product off site, aready-
mix concrete plant, and a hot asphalt plant.
Water from the Buffalo ditch is presently used to irrigate crops at the site of the proposed pit.
The applicant intends to convert these irrigation rights to cover the future water requirements
of the mine. Prior to diversions of any water for any uses at the mine, the applicant will have
to obtain approval of either a plan for augmentation by the Water Court, or a substitute water
supply plan from the State Engineer, which allows the Buffalo ditch irrigation rights to be
changed to the uses proposed. Evaluation of the adequacy of the applicant's plan will be made
at such time at the plan is presented to the court or this office.
Prior to exposing any ground water the applicant will have to obtain a well permit for the pit.
Availability of this permit will be dependent on the approval of either an augmentation plan or
a substitute water supply plan.
