CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL
^ The proposed operation does not anticipate exposing groundwater. Therefore, exposure
of ground water must not occur during or after mining operations.
® The proposed operation will consume ground water by: ®evaporation, ®dust control,
^ reclamation, ®water removed in the mined product, ^ processing, ®other.
Prior to initiation of these uses of ground water, the applicant will need to obtain either a
gravel pit or other type of well permit, as applicable. However, prior to obtaining a permit,
an approved water supply plan or decreed plan for augmentation is required.
® Prior to approving a well permit, the applicant must conduct a field inspection of the site
and document the locations of all wells within 600 feet of the permit area. The applicant
must then obtain a waiver of objection from all well owners with wells within 600 feet of the
permit area or request a hearing before the State Engineer.
^ Other:
COMMENTS/NOTES: Weld County currently has a valid substitute water supply plan ("SWSP")
for the Hokestra pit, which is valid through March 31, 2007 and a valid well permit. If the
proposed change will result in an increase in consumptive use at the pit, a new SWSP and
well permit must be obtained.
