channel and flows through Tiger Road and eliminate existing <br /> fish barrier. <br /> 9 Muggins Gulch I A 270 foot section of Muggins Gulch Road will be re-aligned <br /> Realignment to accommodate the new channel. <br /> Future Restoration Reclamation Work within the Permit Boundary <br /> A conceptual design for approximately 3,000 linear feet of upstream restoration (Reach B) has been created <br /> within the permit boundary for a subsequent project phase that follows a similar approach to Reach A. Final <br /> design details will be provided to DRMS in advance of commencing this upstream restoration reclamation work. <br /> The timing of restoration reclamation work on Reach B is not finalized and largely dependent upon funding. <br /> Following completion of the restoration reclamation on Reach A, the County will seek to release this acreage <br /> from the permit boundary. <br /> Water Rights <br /> Reach A of the restoration reclamation design within the permit boundary indicates a net increase of <br /> approximately 0.96 acres of open water and 2.18 acres of riparian vegetation following project completion. The <br /> Summit County Board of County Commissioners has committed to offset consumptive use associated with <br /> restoration reclamation of the Swan River Resource utilizing the Summit County portfolio of water rights, some <br /> of which were adjudicated specifically for this purpose. Discussions are ongoing with the state Engineer's office <br /> to ensure these water rights are appropriated to support the reclamation post-mining use as a restored stream <br /> and riparian corridor. <br /> Other Permits <br /> Prior to implementing the restoration reclamation approach described herein, the mine operators will obtain all <br /> other additional necessary permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies including, but not limited to the <br /> U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, State Engineer's Office <br /> (Division of Water Resources), and Summit County. <br /> Following Rule 1.9.1, if we do not hear from DRMS within 30 days, it will be assumed that this letter is sufficient <br /> to incorporate the proposed reclamation approach into the M-1993-035 permit. However, written <br /> confirmation of the acceptance of this notice would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please <br /> contact us at your earliest convenience.
