CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL
^ The proposed operation does not anticipate exposing groundwater. 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: the irrigation of 23 acres. 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.
Prior to obtaining a permit, an approved water supply plan or decreed plan for augmentation is required in
overappropriated areas. Currently this location is not considered overappropriated, however, if this area becomes
overappropriated, augmentation will be 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 mile 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 contact this office regarding the
600 foot spacing notification/hearing process.
^ The proposed operation may have potential impact on existing water rights near the project location. Please
provide evidence that the proposed project will not alter or impact the historic operation of existing water rights.
^ The applicant has indicated plans to use other water for: uses at the permit site, storage in the excavated
area(s). The applicant will need to provide evidence to this office that the water is permitted or decreed for such
uses.
^ Other:
COMMENTS: Permit Nos. 56343-F and 59661-F (both cancelled) were previously issued for the site. Permit No.
64121-F was issued for the expansion of an existing pond to a surface area of 10 acres. However, no construction
information has been received for the expansion. The applicant must submit to this office proof that the expansion was
completed prior to the permit expiration date (April 13, 2007), along with a $30 late filing fee, in order to maintain a
valid permit. Alternatively, if the surface area of the existing pond will be increased (thereby increasing evaporation) or
if any of the other uses will increase over the currently permitted amounts, the existing permit must be amended. It also
appears that a new pond will be created in the newly acquired area. An additional well permit must be obtained prior to
the exposure of ground water in the proposed pond.
