This substitute water supply plan replaces depletions from <br />mining at the Timnath Connell Pit. The required fee of $257 has been submitted for the Timnath <br />Connell Pit (receipt no. 3650765). <br />On August 11, 2006, the State Engineer approved the clay liner for the Stute Pit, which <br />eliminated the need to replace new depletions from the evaporation of exposed ground water. <br />Because the Stute Pit has been Tined, is no longer operating, and no longer exposes ground water <br />to the atmosphere, no depletions from the site will result during this plan period. In addition, no <br />lagged depletions from past operations at the site will accrue to the stream system during this plan <br />period. Therefore, the Stute Pit is not considered in this plan. The Timnath - Connell Pit is further <br />described below: <br />John W. Hickenlooper <br />Govemor <br />Mike King <br />Executive <br />Dick Wolfe, P.E. <br />Director/State Engineer <br />Depletions <br />The Timnath - Connell Pit will continue to be mined with an estimated 200,000 tons of <br />aggregate to be mined annually, resulting in 5.9 acre -feet of water lost in the mined product, and <br />0.8 acre -feet of water to be used for dust control. Gross evaporation at the Timnath - Connell Pit is <br />Office of the State Engineer <br />1313 Sherman Street, Suite 818 • Denver, CO 80203 • Phone: 303 -866 -3581 • Fax: 303 - 866 -3589 <br />www.water.state.co.us <br />
