All of the tracts to be mined are within the Drainage District. The ARCUBY DRALvi
flows to the south along the 17'1 Road alignment to just south of the I'/.line then westerly to
the Colorado River. There has been discussion with the gravel operator to direct the flows
through the resulting lake after gravel removal. The resulting lake will have removed what is the
bank and channel of the existing drain. Similarly, there is a piped, subsurface drain within the
tract owned by Leona Arcuby. That piped drain will have no reason to exist after gravel removal
begins. Along the east side of the uact owned by Carp is the IviURRAY DRAIN, another GJDD
facility. That drain system carries both subsurface water and surface runoff from a large portion
of the City of Fruita east of 18 Road. The proper operation of the HURRAY DRAIN is of
importance to the City and the Drainage District. The City and the District aze willing to
cooperate with the land owner and the gravel operator in use of the resulting lake for water
quality purposes. There aze no water users downstream from the northeast point of the gravel pit
on the HURRAY DRAIN. Directing the entire flow within the drain to the reclaimed gravel pit
would be acceptable to the Drainage District. If that is allowed, then the gravel removal Could
move closer to the easterly property line of Carps land.
The gravel operator may discharge water from pit dewatering into either the NIURRAY
DRAIN or the ARCUBY DRALV. The location of the discharge must be identified in writing to
the District. The discharge pipe must be hardened to prevent damage from burning of vegetative
debris in the drain. The ditch bank may need to be hardened to reduce erosion.
