Stevens, Senior Environmental Protection Specialist <br />CC: Division 2 Office; District 16 Water Commissioner <br />FROM: Don West, P.E. <br />RE: Sand Arroyo Pit, File No. M-1978-283 <br />Operator: Walsenburg Sand & Gravel, <br />Contact: Buck Barnhart 719/543-1324 <br />Section 27, Twp 285, Rng 67W, 6th P.M., Huerfano County <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 to 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 al] 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 application states that no water will be used in the process and no ground water will be <br />encountered; however, a settling pond is shown on the site map on the eastern portion of the <br />property. If the settling pond is for storm water, the water must be returned to the natural stream <br />system within 72 hours of impoundment, or else operations must cease until a substitute water <br />supply plan is approved. <br />COMMENTS: <br />
