cover crop to protect them until final reclamation. The combination of all these practices should be adequate to protect the ditches from erosion and sedimentation. A slurry wall will be constructed around Phases 3 and 3A (The extraction Phases nearest the ditches) before any dewatering is started. The dewatering will only remove water from the extraction area and there should be no hydrologic effect on either of the ditches. The Division has reviewed the applicant's slope stability analysis and agrees with the proposed setback distances for extraction from the Brighton ditch. The Brantner ditch is far enough away to not be a concern. The Brighton and Brantner Ditch Companies were notified of the proposed permit application, by the applicant. Neither company provided any comments to the Division. 5. Has the Applicant proposed measures to minimize impacts to the hydrologic balance of Marilyn Kent's water well? (Rule 3.1.6(1)) Marilyn Kent In the adequacy review of the original application the applicant was required by the Division to agree to mitigate any negative impacts to the water supply of neighbors within 600 feet of affected land, caused by the mining operation. The 600 feat distance includes Marilyn Kent's property and well. The applicant has agreed that owners of wells within 600 feet of extraction cells will be contacted and asked to sign a 600 Feet Well Spacing Statement. If the owners indicate that the wells are in use, the applicant agrees to attempt to measure well depth, pumping rate, pumping water level, and non-pumping water level prior to mining, and if requested, the applicant will attempt to measure water levels in these wells quarterly prior to mining. To establish ground water baseline the applicant has installed monitoring wells at the site. The Division has reviewed and approved the monitoring plan. The Division has also reviewed and approved the applicants plans to identify any in-use well negatively impacted and to mitigate the impacts. The applicant will also have to comply with State water laws and the Rules and Regulations of the State Engineers Office in regard to any negative impact on Marilyn Kent's water rights regarding her well.
