Cunningham, Environmental Protection Specialist <br />CC: Division 1 Office, District 23 Water Commissioner <br />FROM: Sarah Brucker, P.E. RECEIVED <br />RE: Steel Rose I Pit, File No. M- 2006 -03.1 <br />Operator: Steel Rose I, Inc.-- ; 3 ' 2014 <br />Contact: Philip Brueggeman, (719) 464 -0638 Division of Reclamation, <br />Sec 21, Twp 11 South, Rng 73 West, 6th P.M., Park County Mining & Safety <br />CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL <br />® The proposed operation does not anticipate exposing groundwater. Therefore, exposure of ground water <br />must not occur during or after mining operations. <br />® The applicant has not identified any proposed use of water at the permit site. If water will be used for any <br />purpose at this site, the applicant will need to document that the water was obtained from a legal source, or <br />the water was diverted in priority under a water right decreed for such industrial use. <br />COMMENTS: The application seeks an amendment to add 5.61 acres to the current 3.39 permitted acres, for a <br />total permit area of 9 acres. <br />The primary commodities to be mined at the site are gold, silver, and platinum group metals. The site is proposed to <br />be reclaimed to its current use of rangeland upon completion of mining operations. <br />The operator does not propose to use or encounter any surface or ground water at the site, with the exception of <br />drinking water (presumably bottled water) for workers. No material will be processed onsite. <br />If stormwater runoff is intercepted by this operation and is not diverted or captured in priority, it must be released to <br />the stream system within 72 hours, which may require a discharge permit from CDPHE -WQCD. Otherwise, the <br />operator will need to make replacements for evaporation. <br />The applicant may contact the State Engineer's Office with any questions. <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 />
