Water Augmentation <br />• The water augmentation plan submitted to the Division I Water Court for its concurrence would <br />require that tributary water be replaced if, and when such water is `balled". Water would be <br />augmented from the Laramie -Fox Hills well (permit #24650-F). <br />C� <br />The subsequent planned reclamation of the pits above the water table eliminates to consumptive <br />use of tributary water at the Keenesburg Mme site. Coors has no plan for further excavation <br />below the water table. It is therefore Coors' belief that further pursuit of the water augmentation <br />plan would be inappropriate. The Water Court has concurred with Coors' position and dismissed <br />the filing of the water augmentation plan as, "no longer required". <br />Surface water areas continued to exist in B -pit during the early 1990's, and was documented in <br />annual hydrology reports for those years. With the continuation of reclamation activities, <br />specifically the reconfiguration of B -pit to accept ash (bottom of pit to at least five feet above the <br />water table, and clay liner) standing surface water areas were eliminated. Visible areas of standing <br />water in the pits, at the time of this permit renewal are the result of accumulated surface runoff <br />trapped on top of the clay liner in the yet to be filled pit void space. Should reclamation <br />operations be forced to proceed in a manner inconsistent with present plan, the Division will be <br />appraised and a revised plan submitted for consideration. <br />59 <br />
