slopes no steeper than 3hav and to seed the stockpiles with a temporary cover crop to protect them until final reclamation. A slurry wall will be constructed around Phases 3 and 3A before dewatering occurs. Phases 3 and 3A aze the phases located in closest proximity to the irrigation ditches. Dewatering will remove water from the extraction area only, which should insulate the irrigation ditches from any hydrologic impact due to mining operations. The Division has reviewed the Applicant's slope stability analysis and has concluded that the proposed setback distances from the Brighton irrigation ditch during extraction are adequate. The Brantner irrigation ditch is located far enough away to avoid concern about slope stability impacts. Finally, both the Brighton and Brantner Ditch Irrigation Companies were notified concerning the proposed permit application but neither company provided comments to the Division. 21. The weight of the evidence indicates that the the Applicant has complied with the minimum requirements of Construction Materials Kules 3.1.6(1) and (3). Issue 5: Impacts to Marilyn Kent's Water Well 22. Construction Materials Rule 3.1.6(1) requires an operator to minimize disturbances to the hydrologic balance of the affected land and surrounding area. The Division required the Applicant to agree to mitigate negative impacts to water supplies of neighbors within 600 feet of affected lands. This includes the property and well of Marilyn Kent. 23. The Applicant has installed monitoring wells at the site to establish ground water baseline levels. The Division has reviewed and approved the monitoring plan. For those wells that are in use, the Applicant has agreed to attempt to measure well depth, pumping rate, pumping water level, and non-pumping water level prior to mining. If so requested, the Applicant will attempt to measure water levels in affected wells on a quarterly basis prior
