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 ground water 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 ground water 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 />��C v ' : on will work with operators on an individual oasis 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: M1981243 <br />M1981076 <br />1980080 <br />2009048 <br />M2010016 <br />M 1978357 <br />M1979089 <br />M2000157 <br />M1997053 <br />M1998105 <br />M1996034 <br />M1999025 <br />M1998084 <br />S Fruita Grav Pit <br />29 1/2 Road Pit <br />Una Pit <br />Gunnison River Gravel Pits <br />East Bradbury Pit <br />Bradbury Pit <br />23 Road Pit <br />East Bradbury Pit <br />Clifton Water Gravel Pit <br />Delta Paving Gravel Pit <br />Feuerborn Gravel Pit <br />Soaring Eagle Gravel Pit <br />Whitewater Pit <br />
