Bowles WAFER Conservancy District Environmental Protection Specialist Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 RE: Roadside Portals (Permit No. C-1981-041) Technical Revision No. 69 (TR -69) Hydrologic Communication Repair Plan Dear Brock: Office. (9-0)242--491 r<<r; (970) 2-12-9189 %%AVN uteN\ater.oi;t; The Ute Water Conservancy District (District) received your letter, dated November 14, 2016 and has reviewed the Snowcap Coal Company, Inc application for Technical Revision Hydrologic Communication Repair Plan Permit No. C-1981-041(Application) dated September 27, 2016. The District has existing water facilities within the permit area as described (T10S, R98W., 61h P.M.: Sections 26, 27, 28, 34, 35; and T11S, R98W., 6th P.M.: Section 2). Based on our review of the Application, it is our opinion that the Shaft and NSA Repair Plan shown on Figure 14- 17 of the Application, specifically the Disturbance Boundary, is in close proximity to the District's 6 -inch PVC domestic waterline that services customers along 170 to the north. As constructed record drawings of this section of waterline is unavailable. The waterline should be located and potholed as necessary to fully understand its location relative to the Disturbance Boundary prior to the proposed associated field activities. Activities that could affect the continued operation or long term structural integrity of these facilities must be mitigated to the District's satisfaction. In addition, construction activities including mobilization/demobilization of equipment to the site should be presented to the District in an effort to address other potential impacts from surface loads on both buried and above- ground water facilities.
