Sherman <br />Executive Director <br />Dick Wolfe, P.E. <br />Director <br />CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL <br />^ The proposed operation does not anticipate exposing groundwater. Therefore, exposure of ground <br />water must not occur during or after mining operations. If stormwater is contained on-site, it must <br />infiltrate into the ground or be released to the natural stream system within 72 hours, or all work <br />must cease until a substitute water supply plan, or augmentation plan approved by water court, is <br />obtained. Reclamation plans must ensure water will not be retained onsite for more than 72 hours <br />unless an augmentation plan approved by water court is obtained. <br />® The proposed operation will consume ground water by: ^ evaporation, ®dust control, <br />^ reclamation, ^ water removed in the mined product, ®processing, ^ other:. <br />Prior to initiation of these uses of ground water, the applicant will need to obtain either a gravel pit <br />or other type of well permit, as applicable. However, prior to obtaining a permit, an approved water <br />supply plan or decreed plan for augmentation is required. <br />^ Prior to approving a well permit, the applicant must conduct a field inspection of the site and <br />document the locations of all wells within 600 feet of the permit area. The applicant must then <br />obtain a waiver of objection from all well owners with wells within 600 feet of the permit area or <br />request a hearing before the State Engineer. <br />® Other: Applicant operates pursuant to a plan for augmentation in Case No. 79CW68. Applicant <br />must continue to meet the strict water use and replacement and reporting requirements as specified <br />in the decree. <br />COMMENTS: RECEIVED <br />~PR 16 2008 <br />Division u. ~-~eciamation, <br />Office of the State Engineer Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Suite 818 • Denver, CO 80203 • Phone: 303-866-3581 • Fax: 303-866-3589 <br />www.water.state.co.us <br />
