REQIIEBT FOR A TECHNICAL REVISION FOR A MODIFICATION OF THE PERMIT BOIINDARY AND CONBTRIICTION OF THE PROSPECT POND Colowyo and the Division are in the final phase of review of Colowyo's PR-O1 application submitted May 10, 1991. The PR-O1 will add significant new areas to C-81-019. Unfortunately, public notice requirements of the regulations require a significant period of time (approximately 45 days) before the Division grants final approval of PR-O1. This delay in final approval will result in a serious delay in the start of construction activities for the Prospect Pond and topsoil removal. Since our scheduled 1992 topsoil removal in Sections 15 and 16 cannot start until the Prospect Pond construction is completed, the delay jeopardizes our ability to complete topsoil removal on schedule. To partially remedy this conflict, we herein propose to request a technical revision to modify our present five year Permit C-81-019 under which we are currently operating. This Technical Revision provides for a modification to the permit boundary sufficient to provide for construction of the Prospect Pond. We propose to add the following lands to the permit area: Section 14 - Part of Lot 3 lying North and West of State Highway 13, part of Lot 10 lying West of State Highway 13, Township 3 North, Range 93 West of the 6th P.M. This 17.5 acre permit area addition is further delineated on Attachment 1 - Modification to Permit Boundary/Pond Construction Map. The addition encompasses that area necessary to construct the Prospect pond. The Division has at its disposal information with PR-O1 to review the environmental resources applicable to the area as well as the information necessary to review the Prospect Pond proposal. By utilizing PR-O1 Bond Information submitted to the Division on March 31, 1992, the estimated bond cost to reclaim the Prospect Pond is estimated to be $1,780 (see attachment #2). The addition of this amount to the current liability of $8,345,539 will increase Colowyo's total liability to $8,347,319, leaving a remaining contingency of $400,086 to the present $8,747,405 Colowyo bond. This technical revision does not provide any substantial modification to that information submitted within PR-O1. It is our intention that upon approval of PR-O1, the need for this technical revision will be unnecessary as all future considerations for the subject area is included in PR-O1.
