Olson Pit Letter Page 2 Upon our reading of the agreement and upon our understanding that the current agreement has been continually complied with, it is our opinion that your proposal can be accomplished if the following items are addressed: • That the agreement is modified by the inclusion of an updated Exhibit A referencing the new Olson Pit configuration, specifically the elimination of Olson Pit No. 1, the increase of Olson Pit No. 2 and the maintenance of Olson Pit No. 3. • That the agreement is modified to clearly indicate that no more than the originally agreed to 22.2 acres of exposed ground water and 44.4 acre -feet of depletions will not be exceeded. • That the DMG permit is modified to reflect the new configuration. • That well permit no. 31249 -F relating to Olson Pit No. 1 is abandoned pursuant to the reclamation activities. • That a new well permit is sought for increase in Olson Pit No. 2. Please be advised that the provisions of Colorado Revised Statute 37- 90- 137(2) prohibits the issuance of a permit for a well to be located within 600 feet of any existing well, unless the State Engineer finds that circumstances so warrant after a hearing held in accordance with the procedural rules in 2CCR402 -5. This hearing may be waived if you are able to obtain statements from the owners of all wells within 600 feet, verifying that they have no objection to your use of the proposed well. If a new well permit is denied for reasons of 600 foot spacing, or any other legitimate reason, our opinion on whether this proposal can be accomplished will need to be re- evaluated. We hope that this letter addresses your concerns and provides you the guidance you were seeking. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Mr. Dick Wolfe or myself at this office.
