-z- <br />All volumes in Table 1 were calculated by a block model method. <br />Attached for your review is Colowyo's computer generated block model and printout <br />of volumetrics. <br />You will note from Figure 3 that a bentonite mix was incorporated into <br />construction in certain locations. Bentonite was added to the bottom of the key <br />cut due to intercepting wet and soft conditions at the bottom. Bentonite was <br />added along the inside face of the dam up to the elevation of the dewatering <br />device to ensure a tight seal along the face where water would likely occupy <br />volume on a frequent basis. <br />At the request of the Division, several compaction tests were run. <br />The results of the tests indicated the structure was compacted well beyond the <br />requir::d minimum of 90X. The face of the outslope of the dam was rip rapped to <br />prevent any potential flood water erosion by Good Spring Creek. <br />The access road into the pond was constructed with gravel laid down in <br />one 0.5 foot lift. The construction traffic beat the gravel into the ground to <br />approximately ground level. In the event Good Spring Creek rises out of its <br />bank, the access road into Gulch A Pond will not impound sheet flow produced by <br />Good Spring Creek. <br />If you have any questions, or require additional information for Gulch <br />A Pond, please call at your convenience. <br />Sincerely, <br />COLOWYO COAL COMPANY <br />`~L' ~ <br />Ed Moyer <br />Geologist/Reclamation Specialist <br />ETM/yml <br />Enclosures <br />cc: R.G.
