Varra Companies, Inc. <br /> OFFICE OF SPECIAL PROJECTS <br /> 8120 Gage Street Frederick,CO 80516 Telephone(303)666-6657 Fax(303)666-6743 <br /> From the 13 December 2010 Adequacy Reply: <br /> 18. The applicant states in Exhibit G - Water Information, that the <br /> pits will be lined upon the completion of mining. However, the <br /> Reclamation Plan does not provide any details about lining the <br /> reservoirs. Please clarify if the reservoirs will be lined or unlined. <br /> If they are to be lined, then please provide the Division with design <br /> specifications and detailed plan for lining the reservoirs. <br /> Since the applicant is blessed with waters sufficient to create <br /> unlined basins, for purposes of this submittal, the applicant desires <br /> to maintain the option of lining extracted basins to liberate water for <br /> other purposes than augmentation. Since this is a method reserved <br /> for consideration under a subsequent Technical Revision with the <br /> Office, we respectfully request the specifics of construction be <br /> addressed at that time, since it does not bear upon current financial <br /> or permit performance considerations under the present plan of <br /> operations. <br /> From the 23 February 2010 Adequacy Reply: <br /> 6. The Applicant has stated a Technical Revision may be <br /> submitted to allow for the lining of the pits. The Division considers <br /> lined pits to be a developed water resource, which would constitute <br /> a significant change from the proposed post-mining land use of <br /> industrial/commercial and would require an Amendment rather than <br /> a Technical Revision. <br /> The creation of basins within a permit boundary will not in general <br /> consume the entire permit or above water elements of extraction <br /> activities. It is consistent with the Uses allowed by County <br /> governments that developed water resources may occur under <br /> Agricultural, Industrial, or Commercial spaces. Yet the Regular <br /> Impact Permit form only provides for the selection of one Use. <br /> Varra Companies, Inc.
