Therefore, exposure of ground <br />water must not occur during or after mining operations. If stormwater is contained on-site, it must <br />infiltrate into the ground or be released to the natural stream system within 72 hours, or all work <br />must cease until a substitute water supply plan, or augmentation plan approved by water court,.is <br />obtained. Reclamation plans must ensure water will not be retained onsite for more than 72 hours <br />unless an augmentation plan approved by water court is obtained. <br />® The proposed operation will consume ground water by: ^ evaporation, ®dust control, <br />^ reclamation, ®water removed in the mined product, ^ processing, ®other:.drilling <br />Prior to initiation 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. <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 feet of the permit azea or <br />request a hearing before the State Engineer. <br />^ Othe <br />COMMENTS: On February 17, 1978, Jeris Danielson notified the applicant that a permit was going to be <br />regmred for them to use the sump water for drilling and other purposes in the mine. The applicant's <br />never obtained a permit from this office to use the groundwater. A permit is required at this time. <br />The general purpose application can be downloaded from our website at www.water.state.co.us. <br />
