~~ <br />r <br />? nitrogen contained in the Pad 3 material compares favorably to common agricultural fertilization <br />practices. I should also point out that it is the intent of nitrogen fertilization to provide nitrate <br />nitrogen since this is the form that is readily available to plants. <br />You mentioned that one way to address your concerns would be to commit to ground water <br />sampling and treatment if drinking water quality thresholds for nitrate or sulfate were ever <br />exceeded. As you are well aware, CC&V presently monitors ground water quality from <br />numerous existing ground water monitoring wells. Committing to pumping and treating should <br />certain thresholds be exceeded (based on drinking water criteria) for nitrate or sulfate is not <br />justifiable as explained above. Such commitments could potentially foster fears of financial <br />liability due to reasonable application of nitrogen fertilizer during reclamation. While such <br />concerns may not be justified they are as realistic as your concerns relating to CC&V's reuse <br />of the Pad 3 material. <br />If you have any additional concerns that you would like us to address, please call me at 719-689- <br />4041. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Scott Wanstedt <br />Supervisor, Environmental Affairs <br />FdE: PAD3.LTR <br />
