Therefore, exposure of ground <br />water must not occur during or after mining operations. <br />® The proposed operation will consume ground water by: ®evaporation, ^ dusC control, ^ <br />reclamation, ^ water removed in the mined product, ^ processine, ^ other:. <br />Prior to mi[ianon 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 permlC, 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 fezt of the permit area or <br />request a hearing before the State Engineer. <br />® Other: See comments below. <br />COivIiVIENTS: If stormwater runoff is intercepted by this operation or after reclamation, and it is not <br />diverted or captured in priority, it must be released [o the stream system within three days. This may require <br />a discharge permit from CDPHE-WQCD. Otherwise the operator will need to make replacements for <br />evaporation. <br />The reclamation plan involves leaving depressions. The operator must ensure no ground water is exposed In <br />the pit during mining, or in the reclaimed pit, by maintaining the lowest elevation of the pit or depression at <br />' least 18" above the highest local level of the water table. <br />The applicant indicated the operation would use water for aggregate washine operations from the City of <br />Colorado Springs. The applicant will need to ensure [hat the operation obtains this w-ater from a properly <br />7 decreed source for such industrial uses. <br />The applicant may contact the State Engineer's Office with any questions <br />
