The sediment pond plan has been changed to add one pond in each mining cell. <br />Each pond will acceptdewatering effluent pumped from the"adjacent mining cell. <br />• Above ground piping will be used to move waterfrom the pump to the sediment <br />ponds. O,verflow.pipes will discharge to the Big Thompson River. The pond <br />locations, pond details and piping have been added to Exhibit C-2. -Since the <br />sedimeiit.ponds are located within the mining area; reclamation will occur as part <br />• of preJiously.described mining cell reclamation. , <br />16. Exhibit C-2 has been ecJ'ited to include the location of the dewatering trenches, <br />size of trehches'and discharge points. <br />' 17. These issues have been resolved by locating multiple sediment~{ionds adjacent <br />' to active mining`cells. " <br />•18. It was previously thought that this ditch was a"drainage ditch, which is incorrect. <br />The existing ditch that runs adjacent to the border between CeIIs C and D is <br />owried by the appticarit's Lessor (McWhinney Enterprises) and has beeri used <br />historically"as-ari irrigation ditch to route water from a groundwater seep that- <br />' originates just north of the proposed pits to the fields below, which are proposed <br />for mining. The,mine plan has been revised so as not route this water around the <br />pit,-but rather, allow the water to drain into the pit, where it will be pumped. <br />Exhibit D,lias beeri edited to include this change... <br />Rule"6.4.5 Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan ' <br />~' 19. The water table'occurs'at a depth of approximately 10-12 ff below ground surface <br />. in Cells A'B and 6=10 ft below ground in Cells C-D. Exhibit C-1 .has been edited <br />to include pre-mining water table contours. ' <br />'~ 20. Exhibit E'has been edited to include a section on Clay Liner Construction: Liner <br />dimensions have been added 4o Exhibit F- Sheet 2. <br />21. Exhibit F- Sheet 2 has been edited to extend the liner to 3 ft above water table <br />elevations. The water table based on observation well data has been added to <br />' the cross section as well. ' <br />~' 22. Cell D will be planted with native grasses and used for grazing. The property has <br />a decreed seepage water right"for 1.06 cfs, which has historically been used to <br />irrigate the fields.' This.water. right can be used for reclamation and post mining <br />land use.. " <br />~~ 23. This'ditch,has.been removed from the plan. Instead, a pipe has been placed to <br />.route the groundwater seep to the river (when not used for irrigation). Exhibit F <br />~, has been. updated•to show pipe .location and details. <br />,~ 24. The haul rgad,cbnnecting Cells A-B to Cells C-D will be left as an improvement to <br />the existing road between these two areas of the property. , A small portion of.the <br />'. " haul road soutb,of Cell D (the portion not mined through) will be fopsoiled and <br />revegetated in tfie,same manner as the rest of the site. <br />25. This wetland was determined to be anon-jurisdictional wetland by the Army <br />-Corps of'Engineers (see Attachment M=1 ), however Larimer County is requiring <br />~., <br />
