Walther <br />Execmive Director <br />Hal D. Simpson, P.E. <br />State Engineer <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 to approving a well permit, the applicant must conduct a field inspection of the site and <br />document the locations of all wills within 600 feet of the permit area. The applicant must then <br />obtain a waiver of objection from all well owners with wills within 600 feet of the permit area or <br />request a hearing before the State Engineer. <br />^ Other: <br />COMMENTS: No impacts to surface or ground +Wter are anticipated during mining operations. The <br />mining plan does state that water will be used for dust control, but does not specify a source. If the water is <br />not obtained from a legal off-site source, then a substitute supply plan must first be approved before water <br />can b~° used in this way. <br />
