4. Statement of plan for augmentation, covering all applicable matters under C.R.S. 1973, 37-92-103(9), <br />302(1) and 305(8): (give Full details of plan) <br />Applicant operates a gold <br />Section 5, Township 11 South, <br />Exhibit A, a -}" MIDLAND put <br />at a rate of 290 gallons per mir <br />the pump. At the screen the v <br />medium and is then returned to <br />the water travels some one hun <br />processing plant located in the NW}SW}SE} <br />Range 80 West, 6th P.M. As shown on attached <br />np, using a sixty foot suction line, pumps water <br />jute to a trommel screen some eighty feet from <br />eater acts as a flocculating and separating <br />the pond from whence it came. From the screen <br />dred feet before it reenters the pond. <br />Placer operations will be carried on annually for not to exceed one hundred <br />twenty days during the approximate period of May 20 to September 15. Weather <br />will dictate the starting and ending time each year. <br />Operating the pump(pumps) five hours per day at a pumping rate of <br />290 gallons per minute yields a daily use of 87,000 gallons. Pumping one hundred <br />twenty days per year give an annual useage of 10,440,000 gallons, or 32 acre feet. <br />The Willow Creek Pond, source of the pumped water, has a surface area of <br />approximately 21,000 square feet, or 0.482 acre. This is a naturally occurring <br />pond and the only consumptive use will be that retained In the washed gravel <br />and lost in transit during the one hundred foot return trip to the pond. At this <br />altitude of 9,500 feet, the loss during the return trip is negligible, The normally <br />accepted loss in a gravel operation is 3 to 4°s. In this case, however, the gravel <br />is not hauled away. It will, therefore, drain directly back into the pond one <br />hundred feet away and the loss can be considered to be more on the order of one <br />to two percent. .01 x 32 = .32 acre ft. <br />.02 x 32 = ,64 acre ft. <br />.96 t 2 = 0.48 arse ft, <br />Continued on another_page. _ _. _ - -- - --- <br />~~ <br />Sirn• r IApplicam lur AUOrngl <br />Addrtr, of Applicam lur A¢orneyl <br />Telephone No. 303 4S!(o bS'77 <br />Attorney Registration No. <br />STATI?
