Mamm Creek Application No. M-2000-113 <br />Dear Mr. Squire: <br />We represent [he City of Ritle. A[ the request of the City Council, I am writing in <br />response to your letter dated November 29, 2000 to Jeff Simonson, the City's Consulting <br />Engineer. At this point in tune, the City believes that i[ needs to review the information that will <br />be submitted in response to the two (2) adequacy review documents prepared by Allen Sorenson <br />and'Pom Schreiner dated November 16 and November 1. 2000, respectively. Until the City has <br />received and reviewed that information, the it is unable to determine if it has concerns regarding <br />this project. It was this lack of this intortnation which gave rise to Mr. Simonson's initial letter <br />dated November 3, 2000. It may well be that, upon receipt trotn the applicant of the responses <br />to the adequacy review documents, the City's concerns will be resolved, and that no new concerns <br />will be identified. However, until such tune as it has received a copy of that information, it does <br />wish to be [tamed as a party and retain party status for the reasons outlined in Mr. Simonson's <br />letter. Enclosed is [he competed party status request form. In addition to his letter, the City <br />shares the concerns regarding geomorphic stability and other issues that have been raised in the <br />two (2) adequacy review documents. <br />As indicated by Mr. Simonson in his letter, a watershed district perms[ will be required <br />from the City of Rifle prior to the commencement of the activities proposed. The City wishes to <br />make it clear that it is not raising any water quality issues before the Division which will be <br />addressed in chat process. <br />Hopefully this letter clarifies the City's position. At your request. I am returning the party <br />status request form completed on behalf of the City. <br />I'~?(IOO~Itucrs-AlernntWFlF,-Syuire-Ilr.l wpl <br />
