(Oxbow) is requesting this minor revision to extend three (3) <br />drop structures in the North Fork of the Gunnison River to improve the recharge of the <br />infiltration field that supplies culinary water to the Sanborn Creek Mine and the Town of <br />Somerset. (See Attached Map C8-1120). <br />Oxbow proposes to use a weir type construction for each of the drop structures. These drop <br />structures will be constructed out of large rocks and riprap materials in accordance with the terms <br />and conditions of the approved Army Corps of Engineers permit. The rock will be obtained from <br />Mountain Coal Company's (MCC) approved riprap source on the south bank of the river. Oxbow <br />and MCC have a letter of understanding regarding each companies use of roads and the river <br />crossing to complete their respective construction projects. Oxbow proposes to extend the three <br />drop structures while MCC proposes to relocate a power line. Access will be via a "Light Use" <br />road constructed through Oxbow's permit area from State Highway I33 to the north bank of the <br />river. A river crossing evill be constructed to the south bank. A "Light Use" road from the south <br />bank of the river to the rock supply will also be constructed. The construction and reclamation <br />responsibilities for each company are defined in the above referenced letter. (See attached letter) <br />The approved Army Corps of Engineers permit is being included with the minor revision <br />application. <br />
