Mr. Jack Henris <br />July 13, 2016 <br />Page 13 <br />m:\min\tc1\_teller\m-1980-244 cc-v\am-11\m-80-244-am-11maincommentr12016-07-13.docx <br />the lowest, non-gated, gravity flow outlet structure. So, unless there is a low level outlet, <br />the detention pond must be assumed to be full to the spillway invert at the onset of the design <br />storm. Please re-evaluate and re-design as appropriate all AM-11 ponds and their spillways <br />with this approach. <br />54. Appendix 10, Integration of Chicago Tunnel Site (p. 7). The last paragraph states “most of <br />the facilities have been constructed to meet those criteria”. Which facilities have not been <br />constructed to meet the design criteria? <br />55. Appendix 10, Figure 1 (p. 8). The schematic shows Basins PG-A1, PG-B1, PG-C1, and <br />PG-F1 being routed to EMP-09 until 2021, then after 2024 being routed to EMP-21. Where <br />are these basins being routed to between 2021 and 2024? <br />56. Appendix 10, Revised Globe Hill Mine Perimeter. As alluded to in Comment No. 39b <br />above, the proposed Globe Hill Mine pit interception of Poverty Gulch is potenti ally <br />problematic. Plan views 1 through 13 on Drawing CCVSA11-10 include a callout for a <br />“Bypass Pipeline”, which is unacceptable for reclamation/closure design. Furthermore, the <br />last bullet on p. 10 (Appendix 10) states “CC&V is evaluating an alternative design for a <br />stream bypass system that will intercept the flow in Poverty Gulch above that location, <br />convey it around the mine to the Poverty Gulch streambed and discharge the flow into <br />Poverty Gulch using a suitable energy dissipation structure”. CC&V must commit in <br />writing to the Division that no surface mining activity (including topsoil stripping and <br />overburden removal) will take place within 400 feet of Poverty Gulch until a technical <br />revision is submitted and approved by the Division for an acceptable reclamation/closure <br />design alternative to the pipeline. <br />57. Appendix 10, Drawing CCVSA11-6. There are some discrepancies in the channel details: <br />a. Details 2, 3 and 4 show channel and swale designs with four and six inch design <br />depths. This does not appear to include any freeboard which is t ypically six inches <br />(for small channels) or at least half the velocity head (v2/2g). How much freeboard <br />is included in the design and provide rationale for the freeboard design approach. <br />b. The drawing has section callouts A, B and C. Where are Sections A, B and C? <br />c. There is a reference to the “Primary Drainage Channel on Back Side of Shop – 2”W <br />x 8” Deep”. Where is the detail for this channel? <br />d. There is a reference to the “Ditch along Road, 6” Deep x 24” Wide”. Where is the <br />detail for this ditch? <br />58. Appendix 10, Drawing CCVSA11-7. The first bullet on page 4 of this document indicates <br />runoff was estimated using SCS Curve numbers. The basin parameters listed on Drawing <br />CCVSA11-7 present “C: 0.50” suggesting the rational method was used. Furthermore, <br />Sedcad output, which does not use the rational method, is provided in Appendix 10. What
