operations should water levels measured in particular monitoring wells reach a certain <br />"trigger" level as determined by the Board. See Memorandum, Russ Means and Kate <br />Pickford to Mined Land Reclamation Board, dated February 26, 2004, "Information <br />submitted to the Division related to the Potential for Groundwater Impacts resulting from <br />the Haldorson Sand and Gravel Mine, Halderson and Sons, Inc. File No. M-2003-037. <br />(DMG Further Response to Petition) (Attachment 1). <br />As stated in Attachment 1 to DMG's Response, DMG has deterniined that <br />Haldorson's Petition contains new information not available at the original heazing. <br />These new facts include information contained in Greg Lewicki and Associates <br />December 24, 2004 Report accompanying Haldorson's Petition. Specifically, that new <br />information relates to groundwater quantity issues on which the Board decided to impose <br />stipulation 2 in the permit. See Lewicki Report at 2-4. That new information indicates <br />that groundwater will not be encountered until at least 40 -50 feet below the surface of <br />the mine. <br />As noted above, DMG believes Haldorson's Petition and Supplement meets the <br />standazd in Rule 2.9.1(2). That Rule provides as follows: "Such petitions (for <br />reconsideration) must set forth a clear and through explanation of the grounds justifying <br />reconsideration, including but noY limited to new and relevant facts that were not known <br />at the time of the hearing and the explanation why such facts were not known at the time <br />of the hearing." This rule contemplates that new information must be set forth in a <br />petition for reconsideration that was not known at the time of the original hearing and any <br />other relevant facts that should be considered by the Board and that the petition explain <br />why any new facts were not available at the original hearing. <br />
