Schaubs R.G. ~s <br />RE: Baca County, No. 8 Gravel Pit, File No. M-1977-485 <br />Operator: Baca County, 741 Main Street, Springfield, Co, <br />Contact: Troy Crane (719) 523 6532 <br />Section 8, Twp 345, Rng 48W, 6th P.M., Baca County <br />CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL <br />® The proposed operation does not anticipate exposing groundwater. Therefore, exposure of ground <br />water must not occur during or after mining operations. <br />^ The proposed operation will consume ground water by: ^ evaporation, ^ dust control, ^ <br />reclamation, ^ water removed in the mined product, ^ processing, ^ other:. <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. However, prior to obtaining a permit, an approved water <br />supply plan or decreed plan for augmentation is required. <br />^ Prior [o approving a well permit, the applicant must conduct a field inspection of [he 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 pern3it area or <br />request a hearing before the State Engineer. <br />^ Other: <br />COMMENTS: This is an application to expand the operation from 4.1 acres to 160 acres. No water will be <br />used for mining operations, and groundwater and surface water will not be impacted. Middle Sand Canyon, <br />an intermittent stream, and a tributary are located in the proposed mining area. If mining operations <br />intercept flow from Middle Sand Canyon, or expose or collect groundwater then all operations must cease <br />until a substitute water supply plan has been approved for any depletions which may be caused. <br />
