Therefore, exposure of ground <br />water must not occur during or after mining operations. <br />® The proposed operation will consume ground water by: ®evaporation, ^ dust control, ^ <br />reclamation, ®water removed in the mined product, ^ processing, ^ other:. <br />Prior to initiation of these uses of ground water, the applicant will need to obtain either a gravel pit <br />or other type of well permit, as applicable. However, prior to obtaining a permit, an approved water <br />supply plan or decreed plan for augmentation is required. <br />^ Prior to approving a well permit, the applicant must conduct a field inspection of the site and <br />document the locations of all wells within 600 feet of the permit area. The applicant must then <br />obtain a waiver of objection from all well owners with wells within 600 feet of the permit area or <br />request a hearing before the State Engineer. <br />^ Other: <br />COMMENTS: Mining will be conducted below the elevation of the groundwater table. The reclamation <br />plan is to create "private" lakes. Four lakes are to be created, with areas of 26 acres, 26 acres, 26 acres, and <br />22 acres. The cumulative area of lakes to be created is one hundred (100) acres. The plan states that an <br />augmentation plan is being developed by Argo Engineering. <br />Water should not be exposed by the mintng operations until an approved augmentation plan is in place. <br />
