SHERMAN, SECRETARY, MINED LAND RECLAMATION BOARCI <br />FROM: DR. JERIS A. DANIELSON, DEPUTY STATE ENGINEER <br />SUBJECT: HERMAN FEIT PIT, WELD COUNTY, APPLICATION FOR MINING AND <br />RECLAMATION PERMIT <br />As requested by your office, we have reviewed the application fora gravel <br />pit near Greeley. Exhibit D states that "all waste water or processing <br />water will be returned to the dredge pond." What is the source of the <br />processing water? How much water will be required for this Durpose and any <br />other purposes -- dust control, sanitation, irrigation, etc. -- during this <br />operation? Exhibit G estimates evaporation losses from the reclamation <br />ponds at 54 acre-feet/year. These losses will have an immediate, detrimental <br />effect on downstream water users along the Cache la Poudre and South Platte <br />Rivers. The applicant does not intend to prevent injury to these water <br />rights as part of the reclamation plan, and we cannot recommend approval of <br />this application until the Board receives additional information com~erning <br />these questions. <br />Ct .,~- <br />J ris A.
