DANIELSON, DEPUTY STATE ENGINEER <br />SUBJECT: CORN CONSTRUCTION - 23 ROAD PTT, MESA COUNTY, APPLICATION <br />FOR MINING AND RECLAMATION PERMIT <br />As requested by your office, we have reviewed the application for a sand and <br />gravel operation near Grand Junction. The applicant has leased sufficient <br />water for dust control. Two non-tributary wells are located near the proposed <br />pit, but will not be affected by the dewatering. The six-acre reclamation <br />pond will evaporate approximately 18 acre-feet of water annually. Although <br />this will not significantly affect water users at the present time, any consump- <br />tive use over which there is no administrative control affects to some degree <br />the Colorado River Compact. In the future, the cumulative effect of such <br />losses may significantly affect Western Slope water users. <br />D. <br />Hal D. Simpson <br />H DS/SSH ;mvf <br />C.J.
