Walther <br />Eaecuu~e Director <br />Hal D. Simpson, P.E. <br />Stale Engineer <br />This letter is in response to your application for a substitute water supply plan for the Tanabe Pit <br />in accordance with Section §37-80-120, C.R.S. The required fee of $1,343 for the substitute water <br />supply plan has been submitted. <br />The anticipated net depletion for this plan is 15.7 acre-feet per year for up to 1.2 acres of lake <br />surface exposed after December 31, 1980. According to the information submitted no water <br />surface was exposed within the reclamation permit boundary prior to January 1, 1981. <br />You have provided a monthly breakdown of the annual depletions totaling 3.4 acre-feet of <br />evaporative loss, 2.0 acre-feet of water used and consumed for dust control, and 10.3 acre-feet <br />of water lost with the mined product. No phreatophyte credit has been applied to this plan. <br />The proposed source of replacement for this pit is 17.4 acre-feet of groundwater from anon- <br />tributary well (permit 28265-F) in the Arapahoe Aquifer which was permitted to pump up to 92 acre- <br />feet annually. This well is also used as the replacement sources for the Mann Pit (M-82-147) and <br />Dunes Pit (M-99-093) substitute water supply plans. Sufficient water is available for the Tanabe <br />Pit SWSP, Dunes Pit SWSP and the Mann Pit SWSP. The monthly depletions and replacement <br />requirements are found on the attached table. <br />As required by Senate Bill 89-120 in Section 8, this substitute water supply plan has been provided <br />to an outside consultant for review. The consultant has recommended approval of the plan by way <br />of this letter. Based upon statutory requirements and the recommendations of the consultant, I <br />hereby approve the proposed substitute water supply plan in accordance with §37-80-120, C.R.S. <br />subject to the following conditions: <br />1. A well permit must be issued for the gravel pit in accordance with §37-90-137(2) and <br />(11), C.R.S. Upon receipt of this approval for this plan, the applicant should submit <br />an application for a gravel pit well permit. The application will be then evaluated <br />pursuant to current statutes. Either consent or a hearing will be required prior to the <br />issuance of the permit if another well is located within 600 feet of the gravel pit <br />April 27, 2000 RECEIVED <br />
