The required $257 fee has <br />been paid (receipt number 3636916 dated February 2, 2009). <br />PLAN OPERATION <br />The Rich Pit has been inactive since 2001 and will remain inactive during this plan year. <br />Ponds created from previous mining activities under this plan cause stream depletions during <br />the inactive period due to evaporation. This renewal covers pond evaporation from the Active <br />Pit (16.2 exposed acres) and the Unused Wash Pond (0.5 acres). Permit No. 45995-F (Well ID <br />1406466) was issued for the pit for exposure of groundwater, dust suppression, product <br />retention, and concrete batching. You report that the Inactive Pit does not contain any water <br />and will not generate depletions. You also report that the active pit area has decreased by 0.2 <br />acre since the last SWSP renewal and that the 0.2 acre pond north of the active pit is no longer <br />exposing groundwater. A well, permit no. 66042-F (well ID 1405128), is used for sanitary and <br />miscellaneous purposes. <br />Description, IDENT No. Location <br />Inactive Pit 1406466 NW1/4 Sec. 2 <br />Active Pit 1406470 SE1/4 Sec. 34 <br />Old Aggregate Sales Area 1406469 NE1/4 Sec. 33 <br />Unused Wash Pond 1406011 SE1/4 Sec. 33 <br />Well No. 66042-F 1405128 NE1/4 Sec. 33 <br />Office of thAtate Engineer <br />1313 Sherman Street, Suite 818 • Denver, CO 80203 • Phone: 303-866-3581 • Fax: 303-866-3589 <br />www.water.state.co ms
