excellent point of contact at the Division of Water Resources at the Office <br />of the State Engineer (OSE). The # there is 303-866-3581. They should be <br />able to answer any questions you have. <br />Also, you might want to find out if they've reviewed the Substitute Water <br />Supply Plan, yet. We still haven't received any of their comments on what <br />you submitted. <br />You may also want to refer to the letter from OSE I provided during the <br />inspection - it makes reference to some of their requirements: "prior to <br />approving a well permit, the applicant must conduct a field inspection of <br />the site and document the locations of all wells within 600 feet of the <br />permit area. The applicant must then obtain a waiver of objection from all <br />well owners with wells within 600 feet of the permit area or request a <br />hearing before the State Engineer." <br />You may also want to check out their website. This link takes you to their <br />guidelines for Substitute Water Supply Plans and Gravel Pits. Page 7 of the <br />pdf starts talking about the State Engineer's guidelines for lining criteria <br />for gravel pits - which is really the area of most concern to you guys. <br />Here's the link: <br />http://water.state.co.us/wateradmin/gravelpits.pdf <br />But, from what I'm told by our engineer, our regulations focus on your <br />ability to demonstrate the following: that you are discharging legally, <br />cleanly, and that you can demonstrate no adverse affects on any adjacent <br />wells as a result of the dewatering process. <br />So, you'll want to be sure to obtain a CDPS permit to ensure you're meeting <br />effluent standards during the dewatering process, no matter how much water <br />you decide to discharge. But, the volume of water you ultimately decide to <br />release should be cleared definitively with OSE, because we defer to them <br />with regard to that issue. <br />Call Dick Wolfe, he's a good & helpful guy. <br />Let me know if I can be of further assistance. <br />-Deb <br />-----Original Message----- <br />From: Jodi Villa [mailto:JVilla@Meurer.com] <br />Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2006 2:06 PM <br />To: 'GOnlma, Deb' <br />Subject: RE: DMG Comments (3811-DMG) <br />Deb, <br />I received your phone message regarding testing of the Bayshore ponds with <br />water in the ponds. It sounds like the DMG is okay with it, if we get <br />approval from the State Water Board, yes? Do you know who to talk to? what <br />is the procedure for testing with water in the ponds? - <br />Thanks, <br />Jodi <br />Jodi Villa, P.E. <br />Project Manager <br />Meurer & Associates, Inc. <br />Engineers ~ Designers ~ Consultants <br />143 Union Boulevard, Suite 600 <br />36 <br />
