You were required to <br />submit documentation demonstrating that the exposed groundwater at the Timnath Pit is covered <br />under an approved well permit and temporary substitute water supply plan (TSWSP) or an <br />approved augmentation plan. <br />According to the Colorado Division of Water Resources, the well permit (No. 049719 -F) which <br />was issued to the Timnath Pit expired in 1999.
