DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES <br />DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES <br />John W. Hickenlooper <br />Governor <br />Mike King <br />Executive Director <br />Dick Wolfe, P.E. <br />Response to Reclamation Permit Application Consideration Director /State Engineer <br />DATE: March 26, 2012 <br />TO: Eric C. Scott, Environmental Protection Specialist <br />CC: Division 1 Office, District 1 Water Commissioner <br />FROM: Sarah Brucker, P.E. <br />RE: North Star Pit, File No. M- 2012 -004 <br />Operator: Superior Oilfield Services Co., LTD <br />Contact: Michael Miller, (970) 454 -3222 <br />Sec. 22, Twp. 12 North, Rng. 63 West, 6th P.M., Weld County <br />CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL <br />® The proposed operation does not anticipate exposing groundwater. Therefore, exposure of ground <br />water must not occur during or after mining operations. <br />® The applicant has indicated plans to use other water for dust control purposes at the permit site. <br />Applicant will need to document that this water was obtained from a legal source, or the water was <br />diverted in priority under a water right decreed for such industrial use. <br />COMMENTS: The site is partially located within the Upper Crow Creek Designated Ground Water Basin. The <br />area is to be mined for gravel and dirt to a depth of approximately 12 feet. Approximately 6,000 gallons of water <br />per day will be required for dust control purposes. This water is to be obtained from an industrial well located in <br />Wyoming. If stormwater runoff is intercepted by this operation and is not diverted or captured in priority, it must <br />be released to the stream system within 72 hours. This may require a discharge permit from CDPHE -WQCD. <br />Otherwise, the operator will be required to make replacements for evaporation. The site will be reclaimed to its <br />existing use of cropland at the conclusion of mining operations. So long as the above conditions of approval are <br />complied with, this office has no objection to the proposed mining operation. <br />RECEIVE <br />APR 1 2 2012 <br />Division of Reclamat:: <br />Mining & Safetv <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.watenstate.co.us <br />
