SIMPSON, CHIEF, WATER MANAGEMENT BRANCH <br />SUBJECT: HEADLEY FARMS, MORGAN COUNTY, APPLICATION FOR MINING <br />AND RECLAMATION PERMIT. <br />As requested by your office, we have reviewed the above referenced <br />gravel operation near Snyder. The applicant has indicated that water <br />will not be required for gravel washing or dust control. The only <br />impact upon the hydrologic balance will be the evaporation from the <br />gravel pit lake surfaces. This evaporation loss will be replaced by <br />water recharged in the alluvium of Antelope Draw as part of a plan for <br />augmentation presently before the Water Court in Division No. 1 in <br />Case No. W-7737-74. <br />The plan for augmentation has been in operation for several years and <br />has introduced considerable amounts of water into the alluvium. The <br />plan is being operated this year under the authority of the State Engineer <br />pending final approva!1 of the Water Court. <br />We have no objections to the gravel operation provided the plan for <br />augmentation is approved by the Water Court. <br />HDS/RLS;pkr <br />cc: Jim Clark, Div.
