The Applicant identified wells within 600 feet of its property and has provided evidence <br />of an approved well plan and temporary substitute supply plan as required by the Office <br />of the State Engineer for current and proposed mining at the Durham Pit. This assures <br />nearby groundwater users that the Applicant will minimize impacts to groundwater <br />sources during and after the mining operation. The Applicant has also provided a <br />detailed hydrogeologic evaluation that assesses the extent and magnitude of impacts to <br />groundwater in the affected land and surrounding area for current and future de-watering <br />activities. The impacts assessment indicates a minimal impact to the neazest groundwater <br />users immediately south of the Durham Pit and no impact to users north of the Cache la <br />Poudre River. The Applicant has an approved National Pollution Discharge Elimination <br />System Surface Water Discharge Permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health <br />
