Sherman <br />Exewtive Director <br />(VacanQ <br />State Engineer <br />RECEIVED <br />~UL 2 4 2001 <br />L,, uivlslon DI Declamation, <br />~ v Mining and Safety <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 Feld inspection of the 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 permit area or <br />request a hearing before the State Engineer. <br />® Other: Applicant must ensure that all ponded stormwater is released to the natural stream system <br />within 72 hours, or all work must cease until a substitute water supply plan, or augmentation plan <br />approved by water court, is obtained. Storm water may NOT be directed into a man made pond if <br />the water will be retained for more than 72 hours. Reclamation plans must ensure water will not be <br />retained onsite for more than 72 hours unless an augmentation plan approved by water court is <br />obtained. A pond may NOT be constructed for post-mining reclamation unless an augmentation <br />plan is approved by water court. <br />COMMENTS: <br />
