CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL
'^ The proposed operation does not anticipate exposing groundwater. Therefore, exposure of
ground water must not occur during or after mining operations.
® The proposed operation will consume ground water by: ®evaporation, ®dust control,
reclamation, ®water removed in the mined product, ®processing, ^ other:
Prior to initiation of these uses of ground water, the applicant will need to obtain either a
gravel pit or other type of well permit, as applicable. However, prior to obtaining a permit,
an approved water supply plan or decreed plan for augmentation is required in
overappropriated areas. Currently this location is not considered overappropriated,
however, if this area becomes overappropriated, augmentation will be required.
® Prior to approving a well permit, the applicant must conduct a field inspection of the site and
document the locations of all wells within 600 feet of the permit area. The applicant must
then obtain a waiver of objection from all well owners with wells within 600 feet of the permit
area or request a hearing before the State Engineer.
^ The proposed operation may have potential impact on existing water rights near the project
location. Please provide evidence that the proposed project will not alter or impact the
historic operation of existing water rights.
^ The applicant has indicated plans to use other water for: ^ uses at the permit site, ^
storage in the excavated area(s), ^ other: The applicant will need to provide
evidence to this office that the water is permitted or decreed for such uses.
COMMENTS/NOTES: Well permit 42066-F was issued on February 9, 1993, for the Hogue/River
Pit. The permit limits the total surface area exposed in the pit to 25 acres. The applicant must
apply to expand the use of this permit to allow the proposed exposed area of 36.27 acres (see third
condition above). Anew permit must be obtained prior to exposing more than the 25 acres
covered by the existing permit,
