The location of this borrow area is between Ditch 3-9 and the overhead conveyor. The <br />purpose of material generated from this borrow area is to mix with gob over the winter months to aide in <br />compaction efforts. Approximately 8,000 CY of subsoil will be excavated from 0.7 acres. Of the total 0.7 <br />acres, only 0.6 acres require topsoil salvage, Appendix A has been updated to reflect the anticipated salvage <br />volume. <br />At a later date, another revision application will be submitted to expand gob pile #3 to the west. This <br />expansion will fill in the borrow area created by this revision application. <br />The stability analysis performed for TR -84 takes into account the blending of native material with gob. This <br />operational process is discussed on Volume XI page 8 and in the HBEf stability analysis dated July 15, 2014. <br />Runoff from the borrow area will drain to Pond K. Pond K is currently sized to accept runoff from this area. <br />Adequacy item #18 from TR -91 has been addressed with this application submittal; Temporary Culvert 310 <br />has been added to page 4b. <br />Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tamme Bishop, P.E. <br />Project Engineer <br />Revised Pages: <br />Volume IX: Pages 4a, 4b, 8, 10, and Appendix A <br />Cc: Bill Bear, Bowie Resources, LLC (electronically) <br />Paonia Public Library <br />Bureau of Land Management (electronically) <br />US Forest Service (electronically) <br />
