Rule 2.04.7. HydrologxInformation <br />12. On page 2.04-10 of the permit application, it is stated that all overland flow <br />upgradien[ of the loadout is captured by the Fire Mountain Canal. Field inspections <br />show, however, that some of this upgradient runoff flows into the Deer Trail Ditch <br />and, then, across the Terror Creek Loadout permit area. If you agree with this, <br />please revise this page to reflect this situation. Also, if you agree, please revise <br />Map 5, Facilities Map, and Map 14, Sedimentation Control and Small Area <br />Exemption Map, to show that the Deer Trail Ditch currently goes straight south <br />along the draw just to the west of topsoil stockpile #1. Currently, the two maps <br />depict the ditch traveling south, then sharply east and then south again along the <br />west side of topsoil stockpile # 1. <br />In response to this question, Terror Creek has submitted revised pages 2.04-10 and <br />2.04-11, as well as revised Maps 5 and 14. The Division still has concerns. First, <br />revised page 2.04-10 now reads that all of the runoff upgradient of the mine site <br />flows into the Deer Trail Ditch. Field inspection would seem to indicate that most <br />of the upgradient runoff flows into the Deer Trail Ditch, but that there are two <br />areas where upgradient runoff flows into the Fire Mountain Canal. The first area is <br />in the east portion of the mine site, where the Deer Trail Ditch has been channeled <br />through a buried pipeline. The second area is in the west part of the mine site, <br />between the mine site entrance and the westernmost extent of the Deer Trail Ditch. <br />If you agree, please revise this page. <br />Second, revised page 2.04-10 reads that "Water entering the Deer Trail Ditch after <br />it is dumped into the Fire Mountain Canal flows across TCC's property." This <br />statement does not seem to describe the entire picture of how irrigation water can <br />run across the mine site property. Field inspection shows that irrigation water from <br />the Fire Mountain canal can travel across the mine site through the head gate <br />operated by Merl Mitchell. Irrigation water can also run from the western end of <br />the Deer Trail Ditch across the mine site. If you agree, please clarify this situation <br />on revised page 2.04-10. <br />Third, revised Maps 5 and 14 still show the ditch that takes water from the western <br />end of the Deer Trail Ditch running straight south, then east and finally south again <br />along the west side of topsoil stockpile no. 1. Is this the true situation? My <br />recollection is that the ditch essentially runs due south, in the draw. Please <br />respond. <br />4 <br />
