The applicant has indicated that run-off from snowmelt or other sources may be directed into <br />ponds which exist on the landowner's property but which are not within the mining permit boundary. Any <br />run-off retained in such ponds must infiltrate into the ground or be released to the natural stream system <br />within 72 hours or a substitute water supply plan or augmentation plan approved by water court must be <br />obtained to replace evaporative losses. <br />The applicant may contact the State Engineer's Office with any questions. <br />4-Y11- <br />Office of the State Engineer <br />1313 Sherman Street, Suite 818 • Denver, CO 80203 • Phone: 303-866-3581 • Fax: 303-866-3589 <br />http://water.state.co.us
