You submitted a well permit application on September 1~L, `~ <br />1990; however, the application was returned to you because a substitute water supply ' <br />plan was required to be approved prior to the issuance of a permit. Correspondence in °~ <br />our file indicates that you subsequently submitted a substitute water supply plan request. ~` <br />The corcespondence also shows that the plan was very deficient in the submitted <br />engineering. Our office sent several letters throughout the years requesting additional <br />information. You responded to many of the letters, but your additional engineering was <br />also deficient. <br />You have never obtained a permit to expose ground water and you may not <br />continue to excavate at the Canyon Sand and Gravel Pit until you obtain a permit from <br />this office to do so. We require you to submit engineering that is adequate for approval <br />of a substitute water supply plan by May 15, 2004. We highly recommend that you <br />obtain the services of a water resources engineer to assist you with this plan. You are <br />also required to submit a plan for augmentation to the water court three years prior to <br />completion of mining. <br />Failure to submit the appropriate engineering by May 15, 2004 may result in <br />enforcement action by the State and Division Engineers. If you have any questions, you <br />may call Don West at this office or Ken Beegles, Division 7 Engineer, at (970) 247-1845. <br />Sincerely, <br />ick Wolfe, P.E. <br />Chief of Water Supply <br />cc: Ken Beegles, Division 7 Engineer <br />Val Valentine, Water Commissioner <br />,Bob Oswald, Division of Mining and Geotogy <br />
