CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL
James H &Kathleen H Ross requested partial acreage release request for the Ross Pit, Permit
no. M-1990-134.
The Ross Pit operates under well permit no. 37997-F. The permit was issued on November

the Yampa River at a point where unappropiriated water is available for withdrawal. The uses
of permit no. 37997-F are limited to evaporation and losses by removal of aggregate product
during mining operations and recreational purposes including fish propagation and wildlife
habitat upon completion of gravel mining operations. The average annual amount of ground
water to be appropriated shall not exceed 46 acre-feet with the total surface are of the
proposed ground water pond limited to 13 acres. A cross section drawing showing the extent
of the excavation, maximum depth, static water level and the date the ground water was
exposed was submitted to the,SEO on January 10, 2011 indicating that the pit was excavated
in July 1990. This permit is valid per § 37-90-137(2) and (11), C.R.S.
Per a conversation with Bud Bower on January 6, 2011, portions of the area in the acreage
release request are submerged as was proposed in the mine reclamation plan and as
permitted under 37997-F for recreational purposes upon completion of gravel mining
operations. This office has no objections to the release of this area so long as the site
continues to operate under a valid permit.
The applicant may contact the State Engineer's Office with any questions.
