You state in your letter that the above three referenced pits did expose ground <br />water prior to 1981 . <br />The DMG field inspections indicate that these three pits are active. Therefore, the <br />possibility exists that the amount of ground water exposure in a given pit has increased since <br />December 31 , 1980, which would require a well permit and substitute supply or augmentation <br />plan. In order to provide assurance that this is not the case please provide to our office: a <br />statement giving the number of acres of exposed ground water which existed in each pit as <br />of December 31, 1980, copies of aerial photographs documenting these acreages, and a <br />statement that the exposures have not increased. <br />I regret that my earlier letter was not more specific in requesting this information. <br />Upon our receiving the above the matter should be closed. <br />Sincerely, <br />;~~~ Z ::•~~~ i i~ _~ ~ <br />Keith Vander Horst <br />Water Resources Engineer <br />KVH:riogrand.wp <br />cc: James Dillie, ` %' <br />Steve Vandiver, Division Engineer <br />Steve Baer, Water Commissioner <br />
