Therefore, exposure of ground <br />water must not occur during or after mining operations. If stormwater is contained on -site, it must <br />infiltrate into the ground or be released to the natural stream system within 72 hours, or all work <br />must cease until a substitute water supply plan, or augmentation plan approved by water court, is <br />obtained. Reclamation plans must ensure water will not be retained onsite for more than 72 hours <br />unless an augmentation plan approved by water court is obtained. <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: According to the application, water will be used for dust control by a truck/tanker. The <br />application does not mention where the truck/tanker will be obtaining water for dust control. If the <br />water is to come from a well, it must be shown that the landowner has a right to that water, and that <br />the water can be used for dust suppression purposes under that water right. >_ _ <br />COMMENTS: <br />
