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.
® 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.
® Other: Water is currently available for appropriation at this location, thus a well permit may be
available without a water court approved plan for augmentation.
COMMENTS: The applicant may contact the State Engineer's Office with any questions.
