of Central Field, until such a time as sufficient detention can be created to <br /> accommodate above ground stockpiling. The application provided a copy of the <br /> Westervelt project detailing that this area of extraction was removed by the City of <br /> Evans from the floodplain. There are no floodplain impacts anticipated by <br /> continued stockpiling of soil over that location. <br /> We can affirm here that stockpiling above the existing ground elevation will not <br /> occur in a manner understood to obstruct flood waters where they might occur <br /> within the existing floodplain. It is understood and agreed here-in that their <br /> longitudinal dimensions if they occur there should extend parallel to anticipated <br /> flood flows where they exceed a cone or other shape that might find its existence <br /> contrary to intent by volume beyond that which could be understood to be <br /> temporary, or transitory; especially outside of seasonality where flooding might be <br /> more reasonably anticipated. <br /> What follows is information provided in the application (Exhibit I/J) that was <br /> intended to address this concern as to existing volume stockpiled at that location; <br /> and a volume which exceeds the necessary volume needed to reclaim the <br /> completed project. The thickness of topsoil capping to be placed is stated as "All <br /> affected lands between the extraction limits and remaining above the anticipated <br /> high-water mark of the basins will be capped with a minimum of six (6.0±) inches <br /> of soil, as supported by Exhibit I & J - Soils and Vegetation Information." In Exhibit <br /> E (p5) and "there is sufficient soil to assure a re-soil depth of approximately six <br /> inches over the basin banks above the anticipated static water level of the <br /> reservoirs" in Exhibit I/J (p4). Haul and push distances to re-soil will vary based <br /> on the actual progress rate and active sections of the operations. Where possible <br /> once the operation matures over the shoulder placement will be employed where <br /> possible for efficiency and best outcomes with soil. RM will report this activity in <br /> the Annual Report as the circumstances for re-soiling become clearer. <br /> 271Page <br /> Correspondence to the Colorado Office of Mined Land Reclamation—Reply to Rob Zuber,EPS—Adequacy Letters of 24 June and 5 <br /> August 2022;in the matter of the Two Rivers Sand,Gravel and Reservoir Project—M2022-013. <br />
