Therefore, exposure of <br />ground water must not occur during or after mining operations. <br />COMMENTS: This will be a surface mining operation on 9.98 permitted acres located approximately 20 <br />miles east of Grover, Colorado. The primary commodities to be mined at the site are sand, gravel, rock, <br />and dirt to be used as aggregate materials for road projects for the US Government. <br />This will be a dry mining operation that does not expect to encounter any ground water. There are no <br />natural water resources within the proposed mining area. The applicant has indicated that any water <br />used at the site will be delivered from the applicant's own water trucks. The site is proposed to be <br />reclaimed to rangeland /grazing land after mining operations. <br />If stormwater runoff is intercepted by this operation and is not diverted or captured in priority, it must be <br />released to the stream system or infiltrate into the ground within 72 hours. Otherwise, the operator will be <br />required to make replacements for evaporation. <br />This office has no objection to the proposed mining operation. The applicant may contact the State <br />Engineer's Office with any questions. <br />RECEIVED <br />N 0 6 2013 <br />DMSION OF RECLAMATION <br />�/ MINING AND 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 />
