<br />7. Carment: <br /> <br />Page 5 - Facilities to be Constructed: Insufficient descriptions are <br />presented, which makes it difficult to analyze most of the impacts. We need <br />specific locations and descriptions of the proposed facilities and buildings. <br />Include also a discussion of the rehabilitation of the existing "temporary" <br />brine evaporation pond on public land near the Dolores River, so irrpacts of <br />construction of that facility can be analyzed and reviewed. <br /> <br />Response: <br /> <br />The "Facilities to be Constructed" section has been expanded in the text. <br /> <br />The wording addressing the rehabilitation of the brine pond has been removed <br />from the text since it is no longer a part of the plan. <br /> <br />8. Carment: <br /> <br />1. Exactly which facilities would be located on public lands managed by HIM? <br />Are the relift pumping plant, other pumps, leach field, and warehouse on lands <br />managed by HIM or Bureau of Reclamation or are these on private land? <br /> <br />Response: <br /> <br />Project facilities located on land managed by the HIM include include a pipe- <br />line, powerline, and road crossing; 320 feet of HIM land located to the south of <br />State Highway 90 and a pipeline extending 2750 feet on HIM land located north of <br />State Highway 90. <br /> <br />All other unit features except connecting roads, pipelines, and power lines would <br />be located on Bureau of Reclamation land. <br /> <br />9. Carment: <br /> <br />2. Where would the 69-kV powerline carne from, who would provide the service, <br />where would it cross public land, and what type of structures would be used? <br />This powerline should be addressed in the FA. A right-of-way would be needed <br />where this facility crosses public lands. <br /> <br />Response: <br /> <br />The powerline, access road, and pipeline would all follow the same right-of-way <br />corridor, crossing 320 feet of HIM administered land South of Highway 90. The <br />69 kV powerline would connect existing lines near Colorado Highway 90, running <br />southerly to the injection well. Although yet to be determined, probably either <br />the Colorado ute Electric Association, Utah Power and Light, or San Miguel Power <br />Association would serve the line. This power line would be designed to prevent <br />electrocution of rap tors. <br /> <br />10 . Carment: <br /> <br />3.
