<br />' 93CW159 of District Court, Water Division No. 1, and is contained in <br /> the original permit amendment application, which was submitted to the <br /> DMG on July 1, 1999. The Southdown-Reservoir storage and <br /> associated water rights aze the responsibility of Southdown as property <br />' owne% <br /> ~ Detailed design specifications will be developed closer to the time <br /> ~~-~ when these reservoirs will be constructed and appropriate design <br /> approvals will be obtained from those local and state agencies with <br /> regulatory oversight of water storage structures. <br /> 13. Comment: On Table 2 titled, Post-Mining Reclamation Table, acreages of vazious <br />' land uses are listed. Due to the complexity of the mining and reclamation <br /> plan, it would be helpfiil for the Division during its review of the <br /> application to have a list of the following acreages both prior to <br /> disturbance (existing conditions) and during final reclamation: unlined <br /> ponds, lined ponds, lined water storage reservoirs, open or ground <br /> water-fed lakes, wetlands or marsh azeas, riparian canes, subirrigated <br /> meadows, and upland meadows. The number of lined water structures <br /> and lineaz feet of slurry wall or acreage of liner to be constructed would <br /> also be helpful. The applicant may revise Table 2 or provide a new table <br />i <br />h <br />d i <br />Pl <br />d <br />h <br />f <br />i <br /> w <br />t <br />e requeste <br />ormat <br />on. <br />ease respon <br />. <br />t <br />n <br /> Response: The post mining reclamation table is provided to give the DMG a <br />' general idea of the basic distribution of the reclaimed lands associated <br /> with the amended mining and reclamation plan. Specific acreages <br />' requested by the Division cannot be provided by WMI beyond what the <br /> Company has previously submitted to the DMG. <br /> The Lyons amendment describes two reclamation methods available <br /> to the Company for purposes of limiting the flow of groundwater into <br /> the mined out pit and for purposes of creating sealed water storage <br />Th <br />t <br />f <br />i <br />fi <br />d <br />f <br />d <br />h <br />d i <br />h <br />t <br />d <br /> pre <br />compac <br />reservo <br />rs. <br />e <br />rs <br />an <br />erre <br />met <br />o <br />s t <br />e use o <br />e <br /> backfill of clay, shale, and overburden.

In the alternative, should the compacted backfill method prove <br />' ineffective in a given azea of the pit, WMI will use the slurry seal <br /> method to limit groundwater movement.
