Kayette Hutchison of ACA Products, Inc <br />was present during the inspection. <br />The site is located 3 miles southeast of Buena Vista in Chaffee County, Colorado. The 112c <br />amendment application was received by the Division on December 18, 2006. The purpose of the <br />amendment is to add 20 acres to the permit area located on land managed by the Hureau of Land <br />Management (BLM). The operator proposes to remove sand deposits left from historical <br />flooding in the area. According to the operator in the winter months, Mr. Moltz releases <br />excess water from the Trout Creek Reservoir. As the water travels over the BLM land and onto <br />irrigated farmland, large ice sheets develop which damage the irrigated fields. <br />The proposal is to create a water detention basin on the BLM land that would allow the water <br />to percolate back into the ground water rather than run across the open field. The operator <br />would remove flood outwash material down to a silt layer where the water would be detained in <br />the winter months. During the summer, the detention waters would dry up. <br />The site is located on old sand deposits and vegetation consists mainly of rabbit brush and <br />few perennial grasses such as Indian ricegrasa. Once the sand material has been removed, the <br />operator will fertilize and seed the area with the approved seed mixture. The dimensions of <br />the detention basin will be approximately 1,320 feet * 650 feet and approximately 6-15 feet <br />deep. <br />A notice of the amendment application has been posted at the entrance to the site and <br />boundary markers were noted. <br />I & S Contact Addreea <br /> ^ CE <br />NAME Kayette Hutchison ^ BL <br />OPERATOR ACA Products, Inc. ^ FS <br />STREET PO Box 1887, 702 Gregg Drive ^ HW <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Buena Vista, CO 81211 ^ HMWMD (CH) <br /> ^ SE <br /> ^ WQCD (CH) <br />Cc: Carl Mount; DRMS <br />
