Therefore, exposure of ground water must not occur during or after mining operations. ® The proposed operation will consume ground water by: ®evaporation, ^ dust control, ^ reclamation, ^ water removed in the mined product, ^ processing, ^ other:. Prior to initiation of these uses of ground water, the applicant will need to obtain either a gravel pit or other type of well permit, as applicable. However, prior to obtaining a permit, an approved water supply plan or decreed plan for augmentation is required. ^ Prior to approving a well permit, the applicant must conduct a field inspection of the site and document the locations of all wells within 600 feet of the permit area. The applicant must then obtain a waiver of objection from all well owners with wells within 600 feet of the permit area or request a hearing before the State Engineer. ® Other: See comments below. COMMENTS: If stormwater runoff is intercepted by this operation or after reclamation, and it is not diverted or captured in priority, it must be released to the stream system within three days. This may require a discharge permit from CDPHE-WQCD. Otherwise the operator will need to make replacements for zvapomtion. The reclamatton plan involves leaving depressions. Thz operator must ensure no ground water is exposed in thz pit during mining, or in the reclaimed pit, by maintaining the lowest zlevation of the pit or deprzssion at least 18" above thz htghzst local levzl of the water tablz. The applicant indicated the operation would use water for aggregate washing operations from the Ciry of Colorado Springs. The applicant will need to ensurz that the operation obtains this water from a propzrly decreed source for such industrial uses. Thz applicant may contact the State Engineer's Office with any questions.
