There may be some confusion about Minrec's request. <br />Minrec wants to leave the sediment pond in place. The sediment <br />pond will be left in place to enhance the postmining land use of <br />wildlife habitat. Ponds attract may kinds of wildlife. Migratory <br />waterfowl often use ponds as resting places in their flights to and <br />from the north. This reclaimed mine site has become a refuge for <br />deer and elk. It is isolated and provides good forage. Keeping <br />the pond in place will enhance the use of the site by deer, elk and <br />waterfowl. <br />The source of water for the pond will be return irrigation water <br />from fields above the mine that is currently diverted around the <br />pond. The pond will collect surface run-off and the return <br />irrigation water. It may discharge at some point in the future. <br />Please call if you have any questions. <br />Sincerel <br />Jim Stover, P.E. <br />Consulting Engineer <br />cc: Dan Mathews, DMG <br />\VP60\RC11\CDOfl] <br />
