Therefore, exposure of ground <br />water must not occur during or after mining operations. If stormwater is contained on -site, it must <br />infiltrate into the ground or be released to the natural stream system within 72 hours, or all work <br />must cease until a substitute water supply plan, or augmentation plan approved by water court, is <br />obtained. Reclamation plans must ensure water will not be retained onsite for more than 72 hours <br />unless an augmentation plan approved by water court is obtained. <br />® Other: The reclamation plan for the site includes a recharge pond. Any surface water diverted into <br />the recharge pond must be done so legally and in priority, and must infiltrate into the ground within <br />72 hours. <br />COMMENTS: Please contact the Division 3 Office in Alamosa at (719) 589 -6683 for further information <br />concerning administration of the proposed recharge pond. <br />RECEIVED <br />FE8 282012 <br />Division of Reclamation. <br />Mining & Safety <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 />
