Indicate if this ditch carries irrigation <br /> return flows or has another function. <br /> Please refer to the revised map C-1 with this ditch identified. This is an unnamed ditch owned by <br /> Grand Junction Concrete Pipe Co (landowner) used for irrigation return flows. <br /> 5) On the Current Conditions map (C-1), please add Mel Frazier as the owner of the Broad Ax <br /> Ditch, per correspondence with the Division of Water Resources. <br /> Please refer to the revised Map C-1 with Richard M.

However, a revised Map C-2 has <br /> been provided with more consistent terminology. <br /> 6.4.4 Exhibit D—Mining Plan <br /> 8) The text states that water from pits will be pumped to a drainage ditch and then it will flow to <br /> the river. However, the Mining Plan map (C-2) indicates that the water will be pumped to a <br /> sediment pond. Please explain this apparent contradiction. <br /> Please refer to the revised Exhibit D attached to this letter. The language has been clarified stating <br /> that water will be pumped from the active mining pit to the settling pond. Water pumped into the <br /> settling pond will rejoin the Gunnison alluvial aquifer and sediment will settle over time.
