The Division has identified four approaches for operators: <br />1. Fite a financial warranty that will ensure backiliiing of the pit to cover the exposed ground water to a <br />depth of two feet above the static ground water level or, <br />I Obtain a court approved augmentation plan prior to exposing ground waterer, <br />3. File a financial warranty to cover the cost of insta0ing a day liner or slurry wail that meets the <br />Division of Water Resources requirementsfor preventing groundwater exposure or, <br />4. Obtain approval from the Division of Water Resources that acknowledges compliance with the SEVs; <br />requirements pursuant to § 37-90-137(11). <br />The Dh slon 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 existlrig <br />permit depending on the nature of the current mining ana reclamation plan and the proposed changes. <br />Increased financial warrantles, as a result of these modifications, may be posted Ins phased manner not to <br />exceed three years. Amendments or revisions currently under review will be required to be approved by <br />April 38, 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.
