The Division of Minerals and Geology ("Division") is under the same time constraints stated in the <br />December 2, 2005 Second Adequacy Comment letter, therefore your response to the following adequacy review <br />concern should be submitted to the Division as soon as possible. <br />Rule 6.4.7 Exhibit G -Water Information <br />Rule 6.4.7 (3) & (4) require the applicant to provide an estimate of the project water requirements including flow <br />rates and annual volumes for the development, mining and reclamation phases of the project, and to indicate the <br />projected amount from each source of water to supply the project water requirements for the mining operation and <br />reclamation. In the first adequacy review response, the applicant states that the operator will utilize the <br />commercial well at the site £or water necessary for dust mitigation and aggregate processing at the site. The <br />response states that the well is approved for 7 acre-feet per year at a rate not to exceed 15 GPM. The original <br />application materials state that the mining operation and dust control will require a flow rate of 1,100 GPH, or a <br />total of 3.3 million gallons of water per yeaz. The current well will provide only 900 GPH and a total of 2.28 <br />million gallons of water per year. Additionally, the information submitted with the original application indicates <br />a need for 1.5 to 4 million gallons of water per year for reclamation. Please account for the discrepancy between <br />the original water amounts anticipated for the operation and the amount supplied by the operator's resources. <br />Please be aware that response to this issue falls under the same deadline as those contained in the second <br />adequacy review letter. <br />If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (970) 259-5861. <br />Sincerely, <br />i~ ~'"` G ` <br />Kate Pickford <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />RECEiVE® <br />DEC 0.8 20~ <br />Gisision of Minerals aa6 GeoloQt <br />cc: Harry Posey; DMG <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
