• P~ 13 <br />June 18, 1985 <br />Daniel's Pit 2 <br />C. Farrell <br />RESPONSE: lJe do not intend to construct a drainage system that will <br />pass the water on to Fountain Creek and thereby exacerbating an already <br />serious problem. Grading will be done in such a way that most of the <br />~ water will be retained on the site and used to help establish and <br />•l maintain vegetation in the event development is not emminent. On the <br />rather large plant site, drainage problems have rarely occurred. All of <br />this land surface will sit on top of many feet of gravel. Even heavy <br />thunderstorms rarely produce overland flows. We feel that with proper <br />grading to retain and utilize rainfall, the construction of an elaborate <br />drainage system is not necessary. If it is to be developed and most of <br />the area paved, then drainage systems will be needed, but then that will <br />be the developer's problem. Our goal is to reclaim the land to a <br />condition that would be suitable for either industrial development or <br />utilization as greenbelt or grazing or parkland. It is also our opinion <br />that the use of drainage systems on this land is essentially <br />counterproductive to producing the best revegetation. <br />Item 4 - In the discussion concering the fill depth of the <br />northeastern portion of Phase IIe, reference was made to cross-section <br />~~ I-I'. The cross-section J-J' better relates to that area. Please <br />clarify this matter. <br />RESPONSE: You are quite correct. This appears to have been an <br />error on our part. <br />Item 5 - Topsoil replacement should not precede seeding by more than <br />three weeks. Please commit to such, or commit to protecting the topsoil <br />by incorporating crimped mulch into it, maintained until such time as <br />seeding occurs. <br />/ RESPONSE: We do not fully agree with your statement that three <br />weeks is the maximum time that soil should sit before being seeded. <br />Idealy, seeding should be done within a day or two of topsoiling when <br />dealing with most soils. However, the logistics of that tight of a <br />time frame can rarely be met. Therefore, we feel, as stated in the <br />plan, we will strive for a maximum of two to three weeks. If possible, <br />of course, it will be done sooner as it is only to our advantage to do <br />so. That time frame is needed though, because equipment can rarely be <br />drawn from production activities far long periods of time without <br />causing very severe problems in meeting product demands. <br />
