Laurel E.Stadjuhar <br />March 1, 2013 <br />Ms. Megan Sullivan <br />Office of the State Engineer <br />1313 Sherman St, # 818 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />RE: Well permit applications for Western Fuels - Colorado LLC - New Horizon North <br />Mine Facilities <br />Dear Megan: <br />Please find attached three well permit applications that we are submitting on behalf of <br />Western Fuels- Colorado, LLC (WFC) for three dewatering wells, located along the <br />southern boundary of the New Horizon North Mine (NHN), in Division 4 in Montrose <br />County. Along with dewatering of the excavation site, the wells may be used for <br />industrial uses related to the mining operations, including dust suppression. The subject <br />wells are referenced in the renewal request for a Substitute Water Supply Plan (SWSP), <br />submitted by Mr. Wayne Schieldt of Water Resource Solutions, LLC on February 28, <br />2013. However, we are seeking well permits approved in accordance with the non -over <br />appropriated river basin status. <br />Included in this well permit application package is a map showing the approximate <br />location of the proposed dewatering wells as well as several attachments referenced in the <br />well permit applications. As part of the well permitting process, we reviewed the master <br />well list for 600 foot well spacing issues. One well found on the State's AQUAMAP tool <br />is a domestic well under permit number 9079. Upon reviewing the well permit file, <br />however, the documentation indicates that the well is actually located in the NW1 /4 of <br />the NE1 /4 of Section 25 of Township 47N , Range 16W of the N.M. P.M., making this <br />well not within 600 feet of the proposed dewatering wells subject in this application. No <br />other wells were determined to be within 600 feet. <br />www.bbawater.coin e 333 West Hampden Avenue, Suite 1050 Englewood, Colorado 80110 p Bone 303.806.8952 fax 303.806.8953 <br />
