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: <br />COMMENTS: If stormwater is contained on-site, it must infiltrate into the ground or be released to the <br />natural stream system within 72 hours, or all work must cease until a substitute water supply plan, or <br />augmentation plan approved by water court, is obtained. Reclamation plans must ensure water will <br />not be retained onsite for more than 72 hours unless an augmentation plan approved by water court <br />is obtained. <br />CRr`.i RC??P 1/1 U1 P <br />AUG 0 3 2€0,9 <br />Division or <br />Mining and Safety <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.watenstatexo.us
