Watcher <br />Executive Director <br />rotichael 8. Lung <br />Division Director <br />RE. Craig Pit (File M-99-01 I) Adequacy review of I I I permit application <br />Dear Mr. Roberts: <br />The Division has completed a review of the permit application for [he Craig Pi[ and has identiFied the <br />following adequacy issues: <br />PAGE I: The location indicated on Page I of the application places the pit in the SW N W of <br />Section 27 but Exhibit A and [he Exhibit E maps indicate the location to be in the NW SW of Section 27. <br />Please confirm the location of the pit as being in the NW SW of Section 27. <br />EXH1B[T C, Section (e): You have stated that the Floor elevation is below known water elevation <br />but that the excavation will not require any type of dewatering. This Is confusing. [f the floor of the pit i= <br />below water level, then, without dewatering, the mining will probably be carried on in a wet plt. <br />Please indicate if the minin__ is to be carried on in a wet pit and if the well applicat~en being made <br />to the State Engineer'=_ Office is the result of the anticipated exposure of ground water by the mining. <br />EXHIBIT C, Section (h): You have specified the source of the water to be used on site but have <br />not provided an estimate of the amount to be used. <br />Please provide an estimate of the amount of water [o be used in conjunction with the operation. <br />EXHIBIT C, Section (i): You have indicated storm water will be retained in the "dredging area". <br />This again suggests that the mining will be done in a wet pit and appears to conflict with your statement <br />that the excavation of material will be by bulldozer or front-end loader. <br />Please be clearer in regard to whether the mining will be in a wet pit or not and if there is to be <br />dredging as part of the mining operation. If there is to be a wet pit such that storm water will be retained on <br />site, then you should provide an Exhibit E mine plan map that shows the limits and depth ofsuch apit- <br />Exhibit C, Section (j): The Division understands that an application has been made for a gravel pit <br />well permit. TI)e Division, however, is unsure iFthis application is the result of the anticipated exposure of <br />ground water in a wet pit or if the well is' to be a conventional bore hole. <br />Please indicate if the well permit is for a conventional bore hole or the result of anticipated <br />exposure ofground water bythe minim operation. <br />iii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii <br />999 <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />
