When mining is completed the mined area will connect into the existing pond <br />which will have a combined surface area of approximately 19 acres. All surface drainage <br />immediately adjacent to the site and the processing site located to the north will drain into the <br />t pond. No surface drainage will leave the site. <br />The site is located near the Colorado River which contributes to the water table beine <br />' approximately six feet below the existing ground elevation. Dewatering will be required to mine the <br />sand and gravel deposit. Ground water will be pumped to a drainage ditch operated by the Grand <br />' Junction Drainage District. See attached letter from [he District. A Discharge Petmit will be <br />applied for from the Colorado Department of Health. The estimated flow during dewatering will <br />be from 200 to 800 gpm depending on the time of the year and the amount of previously mined <br />' area requiring dewatering. <br />There are no known potable water wells near the permit area. The area is served domestic water <br />' by the Ute Water District. <br />A Well Permit will be applied for from the Colorado Division of Water Resources to expose <br />' grottnd water. <br />The estimated water required during the mining operation is 3000 gallons per day and <br />' approximately 250,000 gallons annually. Ground water will be filed for as pan of the Well Permit <br />for dust control. <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />1 <br />1 <br /> <br />
