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 or <br />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 field inspection of the site and <br />document the locations of all wells within 600 feet of the permit area. The applicant must then obtain <br />a waiver of objection from all well owners with wells within 600 feet of the permit area or request a <br />hearing before the State Engineer. <br />® Other: Exhibit G (Water Information) states: "Surface water from seasonal storms and snowmelt will <br />temporarily pool in the permit area. All surface water wilt be contained within the north and west <br />boundaries of the permit affected area by an earthen berm two feet in height. Runoff from the pit <br />side slopes or stockpiled materials will temporarily pool in the pit floor. No surface waters will be <br />discharged from the permit area" If storm water is not diverted or captured in priority, Colorado <br />Water Law requires it to be released, or replacement for evaporation will be required of the <br />impounder/operator/owner of the gravel pit. The State Engineer's current policy requires that all <br />impounded water be released to the stream system within a maximum of 72 hours after <br />impoundment. <br />COMMENTS/NOTES: <br />
