• As mentioned above - in "emergency" situations, prior to full assessment, LGE will <br />supply water via a portable tank or other method. <br />The Operator also noted that this is not an exhaustive list, and if a situation arises that calls for a <br />different mitigation measure, LGE will work with the injured party and the division to formulate an <br />appropriate mitigation plan. <br />If it is determined that the condifion cannot be permanently resolved with temporary mitigation <br />measures, the Operator has committed to incorporate permanent mitigation measures to resolve the <br />groundwater issues at the site. In the event that a permanent solution is required, the design <br />specifications for the proposed measures will be submitted to the Division in the form of a Technical <br />Revision for review and approval prior to implementation of permanent mitigation measures. <br />Division Comment <br />The Division has determined that L. G. Everist, Inc. has committed to a comprehensive groundwater <br />monitoring plan that will give an adequate estimate of the pre-mining, mining and post-mining <br />groundwater levels, and will indicate impacts that the mining activities may be having on groundwater <br />in a timely manner. The Division has deternned that the model submitted by W WE is a relatively <br />accurate depiction of the effects the activities at the site will have on groundwater. And the Division <br />has determined that L. G. Everist, Inc. has committed to a comprehensive mitigation plan which should <br />correct any problems related to groundwater resulting from the mining activity. <br />The Applicant and the Operator have identified to the Division that the Objector's wells aze located <br />both east of the South Platte River and west of the site, west of Little Dry Creek. The Division has <br />determined, based on the information supplied by WWE, that impacts to the Objectors wells aze <br />unlikely in that the eastern well is located east of the South Platte River, which should isolate the well <br />from any impacts from the operation, located west of the river, and the westem wells should be <br />somewhat isolated from groundwater impacts by Little Dry Creek. If impacts are experienced at the <br />western wells, the impacts are likely to be more water in the wells rather than less in that these wells <br />are located in the projected groundwater mounding azea. <br />III. DIVISION RECOMMENDATION <br />It is the Division determination that the Applicant has fulfilled all of the minimum requirements for <br />approval of an amendment to the existing permit for the Fort Lupton Sand and Gravel site. The <br />Division recommends approval of the permit amendment. <br />4 <br />
