.~ <br />I <br />Ms. Suzanne Benton ' <br />~ July 30, 1996 -Rio Grande County Pits i <br />Page 3 <br />b) If the water rights issues are not resolved, Rio Grande County will, most likely, <br />~ have to backfill the pit to above groundwater level. If this is the case, the <br />' post-mining land use will have to be amended. <br />~ c) This permit contains 25.6 acres. <br />As noted, it appears the water rights issues are the only remaining problems. Obviously, the <br />Maxeyville Pit will encounter the same problem, since it, too, has exposed groundwater. <br />I included the permit size for the noted operations, so you are aware of the amount of acreage that <br />can be distu~fied at each site. <br />If you have any questions, please give me a call. <br />Sincerely, <br />James Dillie <br />Fr-vironmental Protection Specialist <br />JD/gaw <br />M:Ia~1g~wlRioPib.jd <br />
