This will <br />be accorrrplished byinstalling athick-walled (SDR l 1) 20 inch inside diameter (24 inch outside diameter) HDPE <br />pipe in the existing diversion ditch and pushing material over the culvert, down the slope, and over the edge of the <br />existing cut. A thick walled HDPE pipe is being used to assure the integrity of the pipe is maintained while the fill <br />remains across the diversion ditch. The inlet and outlet of the pipe will be maintained to allow unobstructed flows. <br />The attached figure depicts the section of the diversion ditch to be crossed. <br />Relocating the naterial in this fashion will allow it to be accessed and removed by CC&V's mine equipment. It is <br />currently anticipated that the reject material will have to be rerroved in this manner several times during the 1999 <br />construction season. Therefore, the fill across the designated section of the diversion ditch and the material <br />extending to the edge of the existing cut will remain in place until soil liner fill processing is curtailed at the end of <br />the 1999 construction season. At that time, the material pushed down the slope will be contoured, the fill across <br />the diversion excavated, and the culvert removed. Fertilizer will then be applied and the area seeded with the <br />approved seed mix. <br />Please do not hesitate to contact me at 719-689-4041, if you have any questions or comments. <br />Sincerely, <br />~cf. ~~- <br />Scott A.
