VanSlyke, Supervising Geologist ~./ <br />Division of Water Resources(",,{/{' <br />Gillette Sand and Gravel Inc., Gillette Pit, <br />File No. M-92-009, <br />We have reviewed the above referenced mining permit application per <br />your request of January 26, 1992. The application is to conduct <br />mining of sand and gravel and to reclaim the site by reseeding. <br />Process water is to be obtained from a small stream which is <br />ultimately tributary to the Arkansas River which is highly over- <br />appropriated. There is no mention ofi the operator having valid <br />water rights to be used far this purpose. The permit application <br />is also unclear as to whether the pit will encounter groundwater. <br />Based on this, we cannot recommend approval vfi this operation. We <br />would like to point out that should ground water be encountered, <br />the operator must obtain a valid well permit from this ofifiice along <br />with a substitute supply plan or plan fior augmentation. Also, <br />proof ofi valid water rights to be used in processing the gravel <br />will be required. <br />Should you have any additional questions, please contact this <br />office. <br />cc: Steve Witte, Division Engineer <br />Eddie Taylor, Water Commissioner <br />
