We request a <br />hearing before the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board at the May <br />2004 'hearing to present information and request a'reconsideration <br />of the decision. We dv'not be2ieve'the request, to install a <br />slurry wail around the lakes so the area can be mined dry, is <br />extzeme enough to warrant ari amendment for this end use, We be- <br />lieve that th'e resulting lakes can still be used 'for recreation and <br />the groundwater impacts associate with lining .the lake areas can .be <br />mitigated'. easily. ''The evaporative losaea,from gYoundwate=.lakes. <br />will be eliminated. In addition,. any increase in the ground water <br />table would be retained on the mine site and have no impact to <br />suxroundinq.properties', ea this end use'will not have as adverse'or <br />significant impact .on the surface 'or subsurface hydrologic balance ' <br />in the area. For, these reasons me beiiede this minor change should <br />be a Technical Revision instead of an amendment. <br />Thank you for your help and if you have any questions please <br />Coil me at (303) 423-7297. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Envizonment,® I.nc.'. , <br />~~ <br />5tevan'L'.
