C.~' <br />DATE: April 10, 2002 <br />RE: D Road Gravel Pit, File No. M-2002-046 ~ <br />Section 20, Twp 1 S, Rng 1 E, Ute P.M., Mesa County <br />Operator: Ephemeral Resources, LLC <br />Contact: Tom Logue <br />Ephemeral Resources, LLC <br />1225 S 7'" St. <br />Grand Junction, 81501 <br />(970) 242-5370 <br />CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL <br />^ The proposed operation does not anticipate exposing groundwater. Therefore, exposure of <br />ground 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: evaporation <br />from capturing surtace storm water runoff and evaporation from drainage ditches during <br />dewatering. <br />Prior to initiation of these uses of ground water, the applicant will need to obtain either a <br />gravel pit or other type of well permit, as applicable. However, prior to obtaining a permit, <br />an approved water supply plan or decreed plan for augmentation may be 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 <br />then obtain a waiver of objection from all well owners with wells within 600 feet of the permit <br />area or request a hearing before the State Engineer. <br />® Other: If storm water is not diverted or captured in priority, Coiorado Water Law requires it <br />to be released, or replacement for evaporation will be required of the impounder/operator/ <br />owner of the gravel pit. The State Engineer's current policy requires that all impounded <br />water be released to the stream system within a maximum of 72 hours after impoundment. <br />COMMENTS/NOTES: <br />
