Prior to initiation of these uses of ground water, the applicant will need to obtain either a gravel pit
or other type of well permit, as applicable. However, prior to obtaining a permit, an approved water
supply plan or decreed plan for augmentation is required.
^ Prior to approving a well permit, the applicant must conduct a field inspection of the site and
document the locations of all wells within 600 feet of the permit area. The applicant must then
obtain a waiver of objection from all well owners with wells within 600 feet of the permit area or
requesta hearing before the State Engineer.

within 72 hours, or all work must cease until a substitute water supply plan, or augmentation plan
approved by water court, is obtained. Storm water may NOT be directed into a man made pond if

plan is approved by water court.
