COMMENTS: The applicant did not provide a Water Information exhibit; therefore this office is unable to
determine whether or not any water resources will be affected by the proposed mining operation.
If the proposed operation will expose or consume ground water for any purposes, the applicant will need to
obtain a permit and/or an approved water supply plan or decreed augmentation plan allowing for such uses.
If the applicant intends to use water under a water right for any purposes as a part of this mining operation, the
water must be diverted in priority and must be decreed for such uses.
There are no permitted wells within 600 feet of the proposed mining operation, and no decreed water rights near
the project location.
If stormwater runoff is intercepted by this operation and is not diverted or captured in priority, it must be released
to the stream system within 72 hours. This may require a discharge permit from CDPHE-WQCD. Otherwise,
the operator will need to make replacements for evaporation.
The applicant may contact the State Engineer's Office with any questions.
