The Division has identified four approaches for operators: <br />1. File a financial warranty that will ensure backfilling of the pit to cover the exposed groundwater to a <br />depth of two feet above the static ground water level or, <br />2. Obtain a court approved augmentation plan prior to exposing groundwater or, <br />3. File a financial warranty to cover the cost of installing a clay liner or slurry wall that meets the <br />Division of Water Resources requirements for preventing ground water exposure or, <br />4. Obtain approval from the Division of Water Resources that acknowledges compliance with the SEO's <br />requirements pursuant to § 37-90-137(11). <br />The Division will work with operators on an individual basis as they move to implement one of these plans. It <br />is likely that options 1 and 3 will require the submittal of a technical revision or an amendment to the existing <br />permit depending on the nature of the current mining and reclamation plan and the proposed changes. <br />Increased financial warranties, as a result of these modifications, may be posted in a phased manner not to <br />exceed three years. Amendments or revisions currently under review will be required to be approved by <br />April 30, 2011 and may use the phased financial warranty approach described above. New applications going <br />forward or presently under review by the Division will be required to meet the requirements of one of the <br />options 1-4 at the time of application approval. Failure of affected operators to initiate contact with the <br />Division and gain compliance as described above could result in an enforcement action being issued by the <br />Division. <br />If you have any questions, please contact Tony Waldron at 303-866-3567, extension 8150. <br />cc: M1977023 <br />M1981014 <br />M1978349 <br />M1981240 <br />M1977205 <br />M2002114 <br />M2002110 <br />M2001118 <br />M2001100 <br />M1980022 <br />M 1994005 <br />M1996091 <br />M1995036 <br />M1991136 <br />M 1990021 <br />M1985016 <br />M1983142 <br />M1988037 <br />Ready Mix Pit <br />Rozman Pit <br />Dick Casey Concr Pit <br />Kiewit Lake Pit (18 Road Pit) <br />Tri-County Gravel <br />15 Road Gravel Pit <br />19 Road Pit <br />Dominquez Pit <br />BLM Pit No. 1 <br />Preston Pit Extension <br />Colona Gravel Pit <br />Ford Gravel Pit <br />Railhead Gravel Pit <br />River Road Pit <br />Virginia Acres <br />Golden Pit <br />Hall Pit <br />United/Norwood Pit <br />M1994097 Spring Creek Pit <br />M1979205 Chambers Pit <br />M1979075 Chambers Gravel Pit <br />M1978287 Vader Pit <br />M1977132 Berry Pit <br />M2005021 Anderson Pit <br />M1998112 Four D Pit <br />M1977020 Pit No 1 <br />M1988079 Pit No 4 <br />M1997051 Campbell Gravel <br />M1977022 Pit No 3 <br />M2005075 Glen's Pit <br />M2004050 JanetEPit <br />M2009024 Simmons Pit
