A small portion of this diversion ditch is no longer needed, as the Ammonium Nitrate <br />and Explosives Storage Area ("Explosives Storage Area") access road intercepts runoff upgradient of the diversion ditch. <br />7Jte section of diversion ditch that is not necessary anymore captures only the small area between the road accessing the <br />Explosives Storage Area, and the diversion ditch itself.'Ihis general area is also permitted under Amendment 7 for the <br />installation of a haul road to Lower Squaw Gulch Overburden Stockpile Area as shown on Amendment 7 Drawing DI, <br />Project Areas. <br />As we discussed in the field, CC&V plans to extend the soil liner fiB stockpile to the west in order to provide sufficient <br />stockpile area for the material necessary for construction of the Phase 11 and III extensions to the Valley I-each Facility. <br />'Ihe stockpile area will use the area formerly occupied by this small section of diversion ditch. <br />When this section of diversion ditch is removed, runoff upgradient of the access road to the Explosives Storage Area will <br />be routed via the road to a sediment control structure, and then into the diversion ditch downgradient of the soil liner fill <br />processing area. 7Jte area below the access road to the Explosives Storage Area, where the obsolete diversion ditch is <br />located, is shown on the enclosed map and is identified on the map legend as "Soil Liner Fill Stockpile Area". <br />Please call should you have any questions or wish to discuss this matter further. <br />Sincerely, <br />1 ~~-~~~~ <br />Phil Bames <br />Chief Environmental Coordinator <br />Enclosure <br />xc: Scott Lewis, Manager Envtronmental Affairs <br />
