~IIII~II~II~III~II~ MEMO TO FILE Date: 12/19/00 7:51:58 PM Specialist: Allen C. Sorenson Signed: Subject/Operator/Operation/File No. Status of the Amendment Application AM-02, CAMAS Colorado, Inc., Dahlia North Resources Pi[. Permit No. M-1994-093 Type of Interaction: Meeting Phone Other Person(s) contacted and affiliation: Andy Leee. City of Thornton Water Resources Administrator, 303/538-7612 and Bob Huzjak, GEI Consultants, 303/662-0100 Summary and Resolution of Interaction: The City of Thornton has purchased the Dahlia North Pit and the Flanagan Dahlia Pit (AKA Dahlia South, Permit No. M-1989-066) and intends to use the pits for water storage. Thornton requires an interconnecting pipeline under 88~h Ave to manage the water between the two pits. This pipeline must be installed as soon as possible prior to spring runoff in the South Platte. An `acreage swap° technical revision was submitted in September 2000 to permit the interconnect pipeline project under the Dahlia North reclamation permit. The Division determined that the project must be permitted under an amendment and found the application incomplete. The application will remain incomplete until: • proof of notification to the Adams SCD is provided (Bob Huzjak stated that this is ready for submittal); • proof of legal right to enter the 88th Ave. R.O.W. is provided; • the correct fee for an amendment application is provided (a TR fee was previously submitted for the Application). The 88th Ave. R.O.W. easement is owned by Commerce City. Aright of entry agreement has been drafted and signed by Thornton and three out of five necessary signatures for Commerce City are in place. The final two Commerce City signatures are not currently available due to recent personnel changes and vacations. Thornton requests that the Division accepts the partially signed agreement to call the application complete and allow the public comment period to begin. A fully signed version of the entrance agreement will be provided prior to approval of the amendment. Thornton believes that delay in starting the public comment period until the Commerce City signatories return from vacation may jeopardize their municipal water supply for the summer of 2001. I told the City of Thornton that the Division does not generally accept incomplete applications for review and public comment, but given the circumstances surrounding this application I would consult with the Attorney General's Office. c:\windows\personal\dahlia nosh mif doe G ~ ~ ~d~ N~ L ~ G Ey / z-~-p°
