The Division granted the <br />request on August 28, 1986. For further details concerning this <br />request, refer to Exhibit 12, Experimental Practices Information. <br />From an historical perspective the discussion of Streeter Fill will <br />remain in Section 2.06 virtually unchanged. The reader should be <br />fully aware that the status of the Streeter Fill is no longer that <br />of an experimental practice, but rather that of an excess spoil <br />pile built under the alternative design standards of Section 4.09. <br />In December, 1993 Colowyo requested a modification to the Streeter <br />Fill monitoring requirements. See Section 4.09 for a discussion of <br />these changes. The following discussion addresses only historic <br />permit requirements. <br />2.06-1 <br />M~-ac~ <br />
