This application is for both active and inactive mining operations and concrete and asphalt batch plants at the mine. This application is for coverage under a general or individual permit. This form may be reproduced. For information on electronic copies, please contact the Permits and Enforcement Section at (303) 692-3500. It is suggested that the applicant contact the Division of Mining and Geology at the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, concerning reclamation rules and regulations at (303) 866-3567. WATER RIGHTS The State Engineers Office (SEO) has indicated that any discharge that does not return water directly to surface waters (i.e. land application, rapid infiltration basins, etc.) has the potential for material injury to a water right. As a result, the SEO needs to determine that material injury to a water right will not occur from such activities. To make this judgement, the SEO requests that a copy of all documentation demonstrating that the requirements of Colorado water law have been met, be submitted to their office for review. The submittal should be made as soon as possible to the following address: Colorado Division of Water Resources 1313 Sherman St. Rm 818 Denver, Colorado 80203 Should there be any questions on the issue of water rights, the SEO can be contacted at (303) 866-3581. It is important to understand that any CDPS permit issued by the Division does not constitute a water right. Issuance of a CDPS permit does not negate the need to also have the necessary water rights in place. It is also important to understand that even if the activity has an existing CDPS permit, there is no guarantee that the proper water rights are in place.
