of Fluent does not need to meet settable solids standards. Therefore, Rule <br />9.05.6(3)(a) is not applicable. <br />The calculated peak stage from the 10-year, 24-hour storm event is 6,775.59 <br />feet. This elevation is 1.01 feet below the emergency spillway invert <br />elevation (6,776.6 feet). This demonstrates that no flow will pass through <br />the emergency spillway during the 10-year, 24-hour storm event. Therefore, <br />the impoundment as constructed and operated meets the intentions of Rule <br />9.05.9(2)(b). <br />The calculated 25-year, 24-hour storm event peak inflow is 6.92 cfs, while <br />the calculated peak discharge is 2.12 cfs with a corresponding peak stage <br />of 6,776.66 feet (see Addendum 7-6g.1B). The emergency spillway <br />configuration was checked using the SEDCAD9 Channel Utility (see Addendum <br />7-6g.1C) to show that the as-built configuration can safely pass the 25- <br />year, 24-hour discharge. The channel utility shows a flow depth of <br />approximately 0.70 feet, which would be approximately 2.7 feet below the <br />top of the embankment (6,780.0 feet). If the principal spillway were to <br />clog, or become inoperable for some other reason, the SEDCAD9 modeling <br />shows that the emergency spillway can safely pass the peak discharge from • <br />the 25-year, 24-hour storm event. PECOCO Impoundment is constructed and <br />operated in compliance with Rule 9.05.9(2)(c)(ii). <br />Certification Statement <br />The earthen impoundment and spillway configurations are pre-existing. The <br />original design and modifications were prepared under the supervision of <br />others. The PECOCO Impoundment was originally constructed as shown on <br />Exhibit 7-18, Proposed Permanent Impoundment Pecoco and certified by Ronald <br />J. Gehrke, a registered professional engineer in the State of Colorado <br />experienced in the design and construction of earthen structures. <br />I am a registered professional engineer in the State of Colorado <br />experienced in the design, construction and operation of earthen <br />structures. I have reviewed the as-built documents and inspected the site. <br />Exhibit 7-18A, PECOCO Impoundment As-Built, presents the existing <br />configuration of the impoundment. It is in my opinion, based on the 2005 <br />survey data, that with the exception of the anti-seep collar, SCC has <br />completed the remedial actions presented on page 7-6g-16 (and shown on <br />TR-37 9 Revised 10/OS <br />
