STATE 8F 60LORADO <br />Bruce Smith <br />Water Commissioner, <br />Bill Tyner, Division 2 Office <br />Carl B. Mount, DMG <br />December 21, 2005 <br />60LD BASIN MINE (DMG NO. M-1992-045j <br />Attached you will find the DWR recommendation to Dlvision of Minerals and <br />Geology that no favorable action be taken to a DMG amendment request for the <br />Gold Basin Mine until the applicant submits a water supply report. After reviewing <br />this file, I also suspect that the applicant may be diverting water out of priority and <br />may need a substitute water supply plan or a plan for augmentation to operate. <br />Papers provided by DMG consist of a water right in case no. 86CW79 (See <br />attached.) You may need to perform a site visit and review the decree to see if the <br />applicant Is operating within the limits of the decree. Since the decree is junior to <br />all other decrees prior to 1986, ft seems unlikely that the applicant can operate in <br />priority under case no. 86CW79. It may be necessary to Initiate enforcement <br />actions through the Division Office if the applicant is operating out of priority. <br />Please provide a copy of any field Inspection reports to Carl Mount at the DMG <br />their files. Feel free to contact me if I can be of any further assistance. <br />OFFICE OF THE STATE ENGINEER <br />Div(sloe of Water Reaoerca <br />Department of Nataral Resoorces <br />1313 Sherman Sdeet, Room 818 <br />Deaver, CO 80103 <br />DON WEST <br />Water Resources Engineer <br />Telephone: 303/866-3581 <br />Fa:: 303/866-3589 <br />E-mail: doo.west®state.eo.as <br />
