Therefore, exposure of <br />ground water must not occur during or after mining operations. <br />^ The proposed operation will consume ground water by: ^ evaporation, ^ dust control, ^ <br />reclamation, ^ water removed in the mined product, ^ processing, ^ other <br />Prior to initiation of these uses of ground water, the applicant will need to obtain either a <br />gravel pit or other type of well permit, as applicable. However, prior to obtaining a permit, <br />an approved water supply plan or decreed plan for augmentation is required. <br />^ Prior to approving a well permit, the applicant must conduct a field inspection of the site and <br />document the locations of all wells within 600 feet of the permit area. The applicant must <br />then obtain a waiver of objection from all well owners with wells within 600 feet of the permit <br />area or request a hearing before the State Engineer. <br />^ Other: <br />COMMENTS/NOTES: If storm water is not diverted or captured in priority, Colorado Water Law <br />requires it to be released, or replacement for evaporation will be required of the <br />impounder/operator/owner of the gravel pit. The State Engineer's current policy requires that all <br />impounded water be released to the stream system within a maximum of 72 hours after <br />impoundment. <br />
