Hickenlooper <br />Governor <br />Mike King <br />Executive Director <br />Dick Wolfe, P.E. <br />Director /State Engineer <br />CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL <br />The proposed operation will still consume ground water by: ® evaporation, ❑ dust control, ❑ <br />reclamation, ❑ water removed in the mined product, ❑ processing. <br />COMMENTS: The permit boundary contains 94 acres previously mined under the Home Office Pit, M- 1977 -439. <br />The mined area includes two groundwater lakes with surface areas of approximately 37.3 and 25.4 acres. It is <br />believed that all marketable materials have been removed from the site; therefore the purpose of this permit is to <br />reclaim the site to a developed water resource (water storage reservoirs). <br />The applicant intends to construct a slurry wall or other form of liner around the two lakes to create a relatively <br />impermeable barrier between the alluvial ground water and the reservoirs. Any such slurry wall must be <br />constructed in accordance with the State Engineer's Lining Criteria and approved by the Division 1 Office. <br />Evaporative losses from the site are currently replaced under the Home Office Pit combined substitute water <br />supply plan, valid through December 31, 2011. If a liner is not approved prior to the expiration date of this <br />SWSP, a new SWSP or a renewal of the existing SWSP must be obtained. <br />The applicant may contact this office with any questions. <br />JUC E u <br />CT d 5 2011 <br />00Mis oru of Reclamation, <br />[IrOning Z.
