Relocation ofthe CCC West Lateral Ditch <br /> An agreement between the Colorado Cooperative Company (CCC)and New Horizon was reached <br /> to install a primary 26" HDPE pipeline and a secondary 12" HDPE pipeline to temporary divert <br /> and distribute approximate 38cfs of water to the lawful water share owners while mining through <br /> the original West Lateral Ditch located within the permit boundary. After the land was reclaimed, <br /> the same pipelines were reinstalled into the approximate original right of way of the original open <br /> ditch. Gate valves and mechanical flow meters were installed at agreed upon locations along the <br /> pipeline so each land owner could meter their shares of water out of one or the other or both of the <br /> two main pipelines. It was decided and agreed upon that a big benefit of keeping the pipelines as <br /> a permanent structure across the final graded reclamation was that leakage of water from an open <br /> ditch through disturbed ground would be eliminated, plus it would give the downstream water <br /> users some pressure to better irrigate their land with. <br /> A 12" HDPE pipeline, with three takeouts,will be installed along BB Road west of 2700 Road to <br /> provide irrigation water for the Morgan and ERMR properties on that side of the mine. The <br /> location of the pipeline structure on Map 2.05.4-5 is the permanent location. The design details <br /> and historical information regarding the ditch relocation can be seen below. <br /> Section 2.05.3(3) Page 17 July 2020 (TR-99) <br />
