Scott, Environmental Protection Specialist <br />CC: Division 1 Office, District 4 Water Commissioner <br />FROM: loana Comaniciu, P.E. <br />RE: Loveland Pit (Reichert), Permit No. M-2000-034 <br />Operator: Lafarge West, Inc. <br />Contact: Lafarge West, Inc. -303-657-4579 <br />Section 24, Twp 5 North, Rng 69 West, 6th P.M., Larimer County <br />CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL <br />Lafarge West, Inc. requested partial acreage release for the Loveland Pit (Reichert), Permit No. <br />M2000-034. More specifically Lafarge requested the acreage release for the Reichert Parcel <br />(Phase 1 Mining Area) and Phase 2 Mining Area as identified in the attached map. <br />According to the information provided, there has been no mining activity at the Loveland Pit site <br />since June 2002 and Lafarge West, Inc. does not intend to resume mining operations due to a <br />lack of demand in this area. Thus no water surface acreage will be exposed at the site and the <br />area that was already exposed prior to January 1, 1981 was backfilled. The post-pumping <br />depletions from the Loveland Pit site that occurred through March 2004 have been replaced. <br />Accordingly, the State Engineer's Office is of the opinion that the acreage release for the <br />Reichert Parcel (Phase 1 Mining Area) and Phase 2 Mining Area is acceptable and <br />recommends approval. <br />The applicant may contact the State Engineer's Office with any questions. <br />1:??
