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 [o initiation of these uses of ground water, the applicant will need to obtain either a gravel pi[ <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 all 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 operation plans to contain stolirtwater runoff within the pit which may not be captured in <br />priority (see comments below). The plan needs to specify whether or not water will be required for <br />revegetation, and, if needed, the potential source of [hat water. <br />COMMENTS: The operation states that runoff will be contained in the pit and that no water will be <br />discharged to state waters. However, if this water is not diverted or captured in priority, it must be released <br />to [he stream system within three days. This may require a discharge permit from CDPHE-WQCD. <br />Otherwise the operator will need to make replacements for evaporation. <br />The applicant may contact the State Engineer's Office with any questions. <br />
