Simpson, P.E. <br />Stale Engineer <br />CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL <br />® The proposed operation does not anticipate exposing groundwater. 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 gavel 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: In a letter dated September 18, 2002, Angela M. Bellantoni, Environmental Alternatives, <br />Inc., has changed the supply of water to be used for dust control to water purchased from an approved source <br />instead of using water rights belonging to Ranch Land, LLC. Therefore, the application is acceptable, and a <br />substitute water supply plan is not required. <br />
