Therefore, exposure of ground <br />water must not occur during or after mining operations. Applicant states that stormwater will be <br />contained on-site. Al] ponded stormwater must infiltrate into the ground or be released to the <br />natural stream system within 72 hours, or all work must cease until a substitute water supply plan, or <br />augmentation plan approved by water court, is obtained. Reclamation plans must ensure water will <br />not be retained onsite for more than 72 hours unless an augmentation plan approved by water court <br />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 pelmit, 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: <br />
