Jesse Lee SWSP Pit <br />January 8, 2013 <br />Page 3 <br />2. The total surface area of the groundwater exposed at the Jesse Lee pit must not exceed <br />0.40 acre during the approval period of this SWSP resulting in an annual evaporative loss <br />of 1.06 acre -feet. <br />3. The annual amount of water used at the operation shall not exceed 1.0 acre -foot for dust <br />control and the total product mined shall not exceed 9,000 tons per year above the <br />groundwater surface resulting in 0.26 acre -feet of water lost with the product. <br />4. Total consumption at the Jesse Lee Pit site must not exceed the aforementioned <br />amounts unless an amendment is made to this plan. <br />5. Approval of this plan is for the purposes as stated herein. Any additional uses of <br />this water must first be approved by this office. <br />6. All pumping for dust control shall be metered. The meter shall be certified by a <br />state approved Well Tester and the meter readings reported to the Water <br />Commissioner and Division 2 office. The proposed accounting form (Table 3) <br />should be revised to include the meter readings. <br />7. Accounting of water in this plan, including pumping, stream depletions, and replacement <br />water deliveries must be provided to the Water Commissioner <br />(Bruce.Smith @state.co.us) and Division Engineer <br />( augmentation .coordinator(a)-state.co.us) with the subject line "Pelino -Jesse lee Pit <br />SWSP" on forms and at times acceptable to them. Said accounting must be received by <br />the 10th of the month following the month being reported. The name, mailing address, <br />and phone number of the contact person who is responsible for operation and <br />accounting of this plan must be provided on the accounting forms. <br />8. The name, address and phone number of a contact person who will be responsible <br />for the operation and accounting of this plan must be provided on the accounting <br />forms to the Division Engineer and Water Commissioner. <br />9. The approval of this substitute water supply plan does not relieve the Applicant <br />and /or the landowner of the requirement to obtain a Water Court decree approving <br />a permanent plan for augmentation or mitigation to ensure the permanent <br />replacement of all depletions, including long -term evaporation losses and lagged <br />depletions after gravel mining operations have ceased. If reclamation of the mine <br />site will produce a permanent water surface exposing groundwater to evaporation, <br />an application for a plan for augmentation must be filed with the Division 2 Water <br />Court at least three (3) years prior to the completion of mining, to include, but not <br />be limited to, long -term evaporation losses and lagged depletions. If a lined pond <br />results after reclamation, replacement of lagged depletions from mining and <br />dewatering shall continue until there is no longer an effect on stream flow. <br />10. In accordance with the letter dated April 30, 2010 (copy attached) from the <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety ( "DRMS "), all sand and <br />gravel mining operators must comply with the requirements of the Colorado <br />Reclamation Act and the Mineral Rules and Regulations for the protection of water <br />resources. The April 30, 2010 letter from DRMS requires that you provide <br />
