The required renewal fee of <br />$257.00 for 2009 has been paid. The applicants shall be responsible for compliance with this plan, <br />but the State Engineer's Office may also pursue the landowner for eventual compliance. <br />PLAN OPERATION <br />This pit did not exist, and no ground water was exposed, prior to January 1, 1981. This plan <br />proposes to replace depletions to the Arkansas River that result from dry mining aggregate. There <br />will not be a wash water pond or concrete batch plant. <br />DEPLETIONS <br />Previous approvals were for dry mining, with the only water exposure consisting of <br />dewatering trenches (0.3 acres), a collection area (0.1 acres), and a return trench (0.1 acres). The <br />0.5 acres of exposed ground water will result in 1.77 acre-feet of evaporative loss (See attached <br />Table 1). A total of 15.33 acre-feet of water is expected to be consumed by 500,000 tons of <br />aggregate mining (14.72 acre-feet) and approximately 0.61 acre-feet used for dust suppression (See <br />attached Table 2). Total operations with evaporation will result in 17.09 acre-feet of consumptive <br />use. Well permit no. 054064-F (ID 1406561) was obtained for this pit. <br />Office of the State Engineer <br />1313 Sherman Street, Suite 818 • Denver, CO 80203 • Phone: 303-866-3581 • Fax: 303-866-3589 <br />www.water.state.co.us
