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:. <br />Applicant has valid well permits and substitute water supply plan. The applicant must continue to <br />follow all [ernes and conditions of the approved permits and substitute water supply plan. <br />Reclamation plans must ensure that a valid augmentation plan is in effect prior to closure of the site. <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.
