I note that we did not receive this request <br />until April 30, 1991. The following is a brief summary of the application: <br />1. The applicant proposes to mine gold via an open pit on a 7.3 acre <br />site in a previously mined area near the town of Fairplay, Colorado. <br />2. The applicant proposes to construct two ponds, a settling pond and a <br />recirculation pond, for this operation. The total volume of the two <br />ponds will be approximately 7.16 acre-feet. <br />3. No ground water is expected to be encountered in this operation. <br />4. The applicant has a lease agreement for up to four (4) cfs of water <br />from the Platte City Placer Mine Ditch to meet all water needs. The <br />Platte City Placer Mine has been decreed for industrial purposes with <br />a priority date of December 31, 1867. <br />Based upon the above information, it appears that the applicant has sufficient <br />water for this operation and we recommend approval. I do note that if ground <br />water is exposed in the course of this operation, the applicant will need to <br />obtain a well permit in conjunction with a substitute water supply plan <br />approved by this office. <br />Please contact this office if you have any questions. <br /> <br />~~ OF ~ COIp~~ <br />Fe q: ~~90 <br />h O `~ ~i~ <br />+ X876 + <br />OFFICE OF THE STATE ENGINEER <br />DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES <br />~ cc: David Fox, Assistant Division Engineer <br />Mark Curry, Water Commissioner <br />~n Hernandez, MLRD Reclamation Specialist <br />
