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.
^ 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 hell owners with wells within 600 feet of the permit area or
requests hearing before the State Engineer.
^ Other:
COMMENTS: Applicant states they will truck in water for dust control until they have approval to use
water from the Pantaleo wells, and that wash water and irrigation water will not be used without first having
ob[aitled approvals from the State Engineer's Office and/or [he Water Court. Applicant should not assume
approvals would occur. Also, applicant must insure trucked in water is decreed or permitted for this type of
use. Applicant also intends to avoid intercepting ground water by keeping mining a minimum of l8" above
[he ground water table.
If stormwater runoff is intercepted by the pit, and this water is not diverted or captured in priority, it must be
released to the stream system within three days. This may require a discharge permit from CDPHE-WQCD.
Otherwise the operator will need to make replacements for evaporation.
The applicant may contact the State Engineer's Office with any questions. Please contact this office if
changes in water sources are proposed or occur.
