On 2/15/01, I called Phil Hegeman, CDPHE-WQCD, [phone], to discuss issues
specific to the Line Camp Pit application. Mr. Hegeman informed me that he was no
longer in permitting and forwarded me to Nate Moore, [phone]. Mr. Moore
indicated that he was in permitting but that he was not familiar with the Line Camp Pit
application. After discussing details of the proposed mining operation and its plan for pit
dewatering, Mr. Moore indicated that the operation would need a stormwater discharge
permit of the COG-500499 (or less than COG-500501) series, which cover not only
stormwater discharge, but also discharge of processing water and/or pit dewatering. Mr.
Moore continued that stormwater discharge permits numbered COG-500501 or greater
are issued for operations that will discharge stormwater only and not processing water
and/or pit dewatering. Mr. Moore queried the WQCD databdse for stormwater permit
applications under "Line Camp Pit" and "Four States Aggregates LLC", but found no
record of the application.
On 2/15/01, I called Dick Wolf, DWR, [phone] ext. 241, and left a message on
his answering machine. On 2/16/01, I received a call from Keith VanderHurst, DWR,
returning my message to Mr. Wolf. We discussed some of the details of the Line Camp
Pit regarding exposure of groundwater and utilization of irrigation waters from the Home
Ditch. Mr. VanderHurst stated that the proposed operation would need a well permit for
evaporative loss of groundwater exposed by the excavation. Additionally, since the
proposed operation appeared to be located in an over-appropriated area, a substitute
water supply plan and/or an augmentation plan may be required for the operation.
