The following are the responses: <br />Comment: The proposed operation does not anticipate exposing groundwater. Therefore, exposure of <br />ground water must not occur during or after mining operations. <br />Response: Acknowledged. <br />Comment: The applicant has indicated plans to use other water for: dust control uses at the permit site. <br />The applicant will need to provide evidence to this office that the water is permitted or decreed for such <br />uses. <br />Response: The Operator is currently investigating options for water to be used on the site. <br />Evidence will be provided to the Division of Water Resources and the Division of Reclamation <br />Mining and Safety that the water is permitted or decreed for such uses before commencing any <br />activities on the site. <br />Comment: The applicant must explain the use of water for product moisture loss since this conflicts with <br />claim that the ground water will not be intercepted. <br />Response: Sorry, this was not clearly conveyed in the application. The Operator may bring water <br />to the'site to be used for processing the mined sands and gravels (e.g., washing gravels). Again, <br />evidence will be provided that the water is permitted or decreed for such uses before commencing <br />these activities on the site. <br />Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns. <br />Sincerely, <br />C AI/ti lewrdaf2 <br />Chris Rundall, PE <br />Division Manager <br />Cc: Russell.
