("Beltramo") in accordance with 37-80-120 C.R.S. The required fee of <br /> $217 has been paid to cover the plan year April 1, 2001 through March 31, 2002. <br /> According to information submitted, no ground water was exposed prior to January 1, <br /> 1981. It is anticipate he wet mining operation at this site will expose a water surface area <br /> no larger than one acre. It is anticipated that the pit will be back-filled upon completion of mining <br /> operations so that, when the reclamation process is completed, there will be no post-mining <br /> depletions. A permanent augmentation plan is, therefore, not required. Applicant has secured a <br /> bond (DMG Bond No. 5998645) in the amount of$75,000 to provide for reclamation of the site <br /> and back-filling of the pit in the event the requirements of the reclamation permit are not <br /> completed. <br /> According to information submitted, this year's anticipated annual depletion to the <br /> Arkansas River from the Beltramo Mine Pit will be approximately 8.93 acre-feet, including 3.34 <br /> acre-feet of net evaporation from the exposed groundwater surface and 5.59 acre-feet for <br /> operations (3.84 acre-feet lost in product and 1.75 acre-feet for dust control) as summarized on <br /> your Table 3 (copy attached). The Beltramo Mine Pit will be approximately 2,200 feet from the <br /> Arkansas River, and you have provided a monthly schedule of lagged depletions to the river, <br /> together with a schedule of replacement requirements totaling 9 acre-feet per year (see Table 3). <br /> The proposed source of replacement water for this substitute water supply plan is 9 acre- <br /> feet of transmountain or other fully consumable water obtained from the Arkansas Groundwater <br /> Users Association (AGUA). It is assumed that no transit losses will be charged, because the point <br /> of replacement will be at or below the point of depletion to the Arkansas River, but this assumption <br /> is subject to review by the Division 2 Engineer. <br />
