Box 1556 <br />27858 Hwy 6 & 24 <br />Rifle, CO 81650 <br />(970) 625 -3738 <br />FAX: (970) 625 -5605 <br />RECEIVED <br />JUN 20 2OOO <br />GRAND J1J 01 1 I i fI <br />RECLAMATION § <br />In response to your letter date May 18, 2011, attached is an application for water rights to include an <br />application for underground water rights, change of water rights, and request for approval of a plan for <br />augmentation. Since we are mining terrace gravel deposits that are well above the river and valley <br />alluvium, we do not anticipate encountering groundwater during our mining operations at the site. <br />The site is located in an arid region on a hill slope that receives only 8 inch of precipitation a year. We <br />anticipate that runoff from sufficient rains rarely occurs at the site. Our storm water management plan <br />(SWMP) states that we must prevent off -site discharge during rain events to prevent sediment from <br />entering the Gunnison River. In the event of a major rain, water will be contained allowing sediment to <br />settle and then discharge prior to 72 hours. <br />
