Meeting Minutes:
1. An attendance list was passed around. Bryan Kohlenberg (UD&FCD) and Craig
Jacobson (ICON Engineering) mentioned that comments on [he Meeting Minutes
from November 28'h had been sent out via email. Jeff Schwarz (Massey Semenoff
Schwarz & Bailey, P.C.) and Jessica Barbier requested [ha[ copies of the ll/28
minutes be distributed to them again.
2. Jeff Schwarz added that the Mined Lands Reclamation Board met last Wednesday.
Jeff mentioned that at this meeting, the Division of Minerals and Geology decided
that they did not have sufficient proof that the relocation of Bull Seep caused the May
5''' blowout and therefore withdrew their recommendation to [he Mined Lands
Reclamation Board to issue a second violation of the tnining permit with respect to
the downstream damages in the Bull Seep. Lafarge's position will now be to focus on
revising the drainage plan in accordance with the orders from the October hearing.
Lafarge had received a time extension, January 11, 2002, from the board to submit
the revised plan.
3. Jeff continued to add that John Hickman (Lafarge) has been in contact with George
McDonald of the Fulton Ditch Company and the Fulton Ditch Board appears to be
amenable to the reduction of the Bull Seep flows, upstream of the First Creek
confluence, to 50-cfs.
4. Jeff began to discuss the current layout of the revised drainage plan. He mentioned
that Lafarge proposes to install a pump irrigation system [o feed dewatering flows
into [he Bull Seep upstream of the First Creek confluence [o help support the trees in
the area. The irrigation will continue in that area until the completion of the mining
operation (December 31, 2006) when the ponds are officially turned over to Denver
Water. At that time all of the ponds will be lined and the groundwater is expected to
return to historic levels.
5. Jeff continued to mention [hat a drop structure has been proposed at the confluence
between the Bull Seep and Bull Seep Slough. He added [ha[ Lafarge is currently
negotiating with Ken McIntosh (McIntosh Farms) regarding the details of an
easement on Ken's property. Jeff provided copies of a document identifying two
potential easements (Easements A & B).
6. Jeff mentioned that Lafarge's objective was to develop a drainage plan addressing the
current drainage conditions and that the overflow spillway from Reservoir B would
