CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL
^ The proposed operation does not anticipate exposing groundwater. Therefore, exposure of ground
water must not occur during or after mining operations.
® The proposed operation will consume ground water by: ®evaporation, ®dust control,
reclamation, ®water removed in the mined product, ®processing, ^ other:.
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
request a hearing before the State Engineer.
^ Other:
COMbIENTS: The applicant submitted a Substitute Water Supply Plan ("SWSP") to this oftce on January
27, 1999. The SWSP was sent to the consultant on February 11, 1999. The consultant has 45 days to draft
approval or denial. The applicant also applied for a Gravel Pit Well Permit. This application has been
returned to the applicant pending approval of the SWSP.
The applicant needs to contact this office regarding the plan to alter [he drainagelseepage ditch that crosses
the property from the northwest to the southeast. We require additional information to assess whether water
rights will be affected by this proposal.
If water is required for cooling in the asphalt plant operation, the applicant will need to ensure that the
operation obtains its water from a properly decreed and/or permitted source for industrial use. This may
require amending or a second SWSP.
As each of the three alluvial wells owned by the applicant are removed and "mined-out," the applicant will
need to perform the work and submit Well Abandonment Reports in accordance with the Well Construction
Rules.
