As stated in the Office of the State Engineer's (OSE) response letter (enclosed) to the Division, <br />"exposure of ground water must not occur during or after mining operations. If water will be used <br />for any purpose at this site, the applicant will need to document that the water was obtained from a <br />legal source, or the water was diverted in priority under a water right decreed for such industrial <br />use." Additionally, OSE states that "if stormwater runoff is intercepted by this operation and is not <br />diverted or captured in priority, it must be released to the stream system within 72 hours. This may <br />require a discharge permit from CDPHE-WQCD. Otherwise, the operator will need to make <br />replacements for evaporation." <br />Please be advised that Rule 1.8.1 states that changes and additions to the permit application must <br />be filed with the Division and the County Clerk and Recorder. The applicant must also provide <br />the Division with an affidavit or receipt demonstrating that the change or addition was filed with <br />the County Clerk and Recorder no later than the close of business on the day the change was filed <br />with the Division. <br />If you feel more time is needed to complete your reply, the Division can grant an extension to the <br />decision date. This will be done upon receipt of a written waiver of your right to a decision by <br />November 13, 2006 and request for additional time. This must be received no later than the <br />deadline date. <br />If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 303-866-4179. <br />Sincerely, <br />Gb ima <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Enclosure(s): <br />Office of the State Engineer comment letter, August 24, 2006 <br />Corps of Engineers comment letter, August 21, 2006 <br />Colorado Historical Society comment letter, August 23, 2006 <br />cc: Mr. Scott Harold, Washington County Road, 150 Ash Avenue, Akron, CO 80720 <br />Carl Mount; DMG (via a-mail) <br />
