0�- <br />January <br />18, 2018 <br />Page 5 <br />Finally, within the last paragraph of the Division's January 8, 2018 letter, the Division <br />stated, "Please note that despite the modification of these stipulations, the plan to construct the <br />Collom Pit is not valid without the necessary permits to pump and discharge groundwater." This <br />sentence infers what was attempting to be avoided when the request to amend the stipulations <br />was brought forward to the Division. Further, this statement contradicts the basis for revising the <br />timeframe associated with meeting stipulations so operations are not limited by permits that are <br />not necessary to be in place for several years. The Division needs to note that the only <br />Stipulation that is required to be met by Colowyo prior commencement of overburden removal in <br />the Collom Pit is Stipulation 23. The other Stipulations as revised are required to be met prior to <br />development and initiation of the dewatering well system. <br />If you should have any additional questions or concerns please feel free to contact Tony <br />Tennyson at (970) 824-1232 or ttennyson(d0istategt.org. <br />Sincerely, <br />Daniel J.
