Sherman <br />Executive Director <br />Dick Wolfe, P.E. <br />Director <br />DATE: October 30, 2009 <br />TO: Michael A. Cunningham, Environmental Protection Specialist <br />CC: Division 3 Office; District 222 Water Commissioner t?'.. <br />FROM: Melissa A. Peterson, P. E. Va <br />RE: Robins Rock Pit, File No. M-2009-053 <br />Operator: Robins Construction, LLLP <br />Contact: Randy Robins <br />Section 15, Twp 33N, Rng 8E, N.M.P.M., Conejos County <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 surface water in a water-critical area, as the plan indicates, for <br />the use of the "irrigation pond" for reseeding. Prior to use of this water, an approved temporary <br />substitute water supply plan is required. <br />® Other: There is no information as to whether or not the "irrigation pond" used for reseeding has <br />contact with groundwater. If that is the case, this pond will need to be permitted as a well, and the <br />evaporation and use will need to be accounted for. <br />COMMENTS: <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
