Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety <br />March 31, 2016 <br />Page 10 <br />Response: In accordance with Rule 2.03.10, once a permit for discharge of the water pumped <br />from the dewatering wells is obtained, Colowyo will update Volume 1 Section 2.03.10 — <br />Identification of Other Licenses and Permits. Colowyo requests that the Division revise the <br />stipulation language to state, "A DISCHARGE PERMIT FOR WATER PUMPED FROM <br />DEWATERING WELLS MUST BE IN PLACE AND A MINOR REVISION TO THE <br />PERMIT SUBMITTED AND APPROVED TO UPDATE SECTION 2.03.10 OF VOLUME 1 <br />OF THE PERMIT APPLICATION PACKAGE, BEFORE ANY DISTURBANCE <br />ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLLOM PIT BOX CUT IS ALLOWED TO OCCUR." <br />ITEM 82. This item has not yet been adequately addressed. The reference to Exhibit 7 Item 24 <br />on Map IOB is not sufficient. The map has layers for Area of Quaternary Alluvium <br />(Unconsolidated Stream -laid Deposits Holding Streams) and Area of Irrigated Land which <br />should be complete for the area covered by the map. <br />Response: The areas of Quaternary Alluvium have been removed from Map l OB. The areas that <br />were removed were carryover from previous permitting actions prior to PR -02. During the PR - <br />03 application process the Q, areas on Map 7B were updated for the entire permit area. <br />Therefore, Map 7B is up to date with all the Quaternary Alluvium areas within the permit <br />boundary. A note was added to Map 7B to indicate that "Q" means Quaternary. Finally, areas <br />of irrigated land outside the permit boundary have been removed from Map IOB. All irrigated <br />areas that were previously shown were Colowyo private land holdings, and many are no longer <br />being irrigated. <br />ITEM 83. This item has not yet been adequately addressed. Please update Map IOB to show all <br />areas of Quaternary Alluvium within the proposed permit area and comment on any differences <br />in spatial extent between this layer and the layer shown on Map 7A as Qv (valley fill deposits). <br />(See related Item 82.) <br />Response: Please see response to Item 82. <br />ITEM 84. Response is adequate. <br />ITEM 85. Response is adequate. <br />ITEM 86. The response is adequate, but the following stipulation will be added to the Colowyo <br />Mine permit. <br />Stipulation 21: COLO WYO COAL COMPANY WILL CONSTRUCT GROUNDWATER <br />POINT OF COMPLIANCE MLC -04-02, AND CARRY OUT STANDARD WELL TESTS TO <br />ESTIMATEAQUIFER PROPERTIES. FOLLOWING COMPLETION OF THE WORKA <br />MINOR REVISION WILL BE SUBMITTED TO UPDATE THE PERMIT APPLICATION <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION!
