In the event that runoff from <br />the undisturbed areas is greater than that calculated to determine the <br />size of sedimentation ponds, the retention volumes of the ponds shall be <br />Increased as necessary to comply with applicable regulations. <br />I appreciate the time and effort you spent in developing a plan that pro- <br />vides sufficient information to facilitate our review. Please also convey <br />my staff's appreciation to Ute Engineering for their help. I wish to under- <br />score the fact that Departmental reviews of changes 1n mining plans must <br />comply with the Surface Piining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977. That <br />Act requires a thorough analysis of whether the proposed actions will comply <br />with environmental protection performance standards. That Act also requires <br />public participation. 4Je must allow adequate time for reviews and public <br />participation especially when the modifications have the potential for <br />envirorunental impacts. Whenever possible, plans should address future <br />activities well in advance of the proposed dates for implementation. <br />This approval is subject to any additional stipulations determined to be <br />necessary by the regulatory authority. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jiary 4lright <br />Acting Regional Director <br />Attachments: <br />I.
