Sartori <br />Applegate Group, Inc. <br />1499 West 120 Avenue, Suite 200 <br />Denver, CO 80234 -2759 <br />RE: Connell Resource Substituo Water Supply Plan (WDID No. 0302526) <br />Timnath- Connell Pit (M-9914050; WDID No. 0303018) and <br />Stute Pit (M -81 -007; WDID No. 0303019). <br />Water Division 1, Water District 3,,���., <br />Approval Period: November 1, 2009 through October 31, 2010 DEC 1 2009 <br />Contact Phone Number for Ms. Sartori: 303 - 452 -6611 <br />Dear Ms. Sartori: Mss* `M "2 zrd Y <br />This letter is in response to your letter dated August 21, 2009 requesting renewal of the <br />above referenced substitute water supply plan for the Timnath - Connell Pit to cover depletions <br />caused by gravel mining operations. This substitute water supply plan replaces depletions from <br />mining at the Timnath Connell Pit. The required fee of $257 has been submitted for the Timnath <br />Connell Pit. On August 11, 2006, the State Engineer approved the clay liner for the Stute Pit, <br />which eliminated the need to replace new depletions from the evaporation of exposed ground <br />water. Because the Stute Pit has been lined, is no longer operating, and no longer exposes <br />ground water to the atmosphere, you did not request a separate substitute water supply plan for <br />the Stute Pit. However, since depletions from the evaporation of ground water from the Stute Pit <br />(evaporation of exposed ground water before the pit was lined) are lagged to the stream, the <br />Applicant is required to continue to replace these lagged depletions. A schedule of the lagged <br />depletions from the Stute Pit is identified in the attached Table 2. Approximately 95 percent of the <br />lagged stream depletions from the Stute Pit have already been replaced and only the last 5 <br />percent of lagged stream depletions remain to be replaced. <br />TABLE A — MINING SITES <br />Office of the State Engineer <br />1.313 Sherman Street, Suite 818 • Denver, CO 80203 • Phone: 303 - 866 -3581 • Fax: 303 - 866 -3589 <br />www.water.state.co.us <br />Well <br />Exposed <br />Site Name <br />DMG # <br />Previous <br />Permit <br />Ground Water <br />Approval <br />No. <br />Surface acres <br />The pit has been <br />Stute Pit <br />M- -007 <br />10/26/2005 <br />61223 -F <br />lined <br />Timnath - Connell Pit <br />M -99 -050 <br />10/26/2005 <br />53419 -F <br />8.0 <br />Office of the State Engineer <br />1.313 Sherman Street, Suite 818 • Denver, CO 80203 • Phone: 303 - 866 -3581 • Fax: 303 - 866 -3589 <br />www.water.state.co.us <br />
