nical Revision No. 6 - Update g
Dear Mr. Stout:
The Division proposes to deny the above referenced technical revision at this
time. From the Division's standpoint, the makeup of the plan still contains
too many uncertainties. As you have pointed out, some latitude is necessary
in what the Division does approve in order that WFC is free to make proper
on-site constructional choices, but there are still too many unrepresented or
inadequately addressed aspects of the proposed plan for the Division to
approve it at this time. The current proposal amounts to a "trust us"
situation with which the Division is not comfortable.
Included below is a listing of some of the troublesome aspects of the plan and
comments pertaining thereto.
West Portal Area
11 The diversion ditch leading from C22 should be numbered. The
culvert into which I believe it leads should be illustrated and
numbered. The size, type, etc. of this ditch could be fixed now;
the size of the culvert will not change. These can be included in
the proposal and illustrations.
21 C26 could be removed from the map and listings. The Division long
ago approved the "Arizona Crossing" WFC has already installed.
3) D27 should be continued to and thus shown to empty into Containment
Area No. 2, if that is the intention.
4) If D29 originates from a culvert, as "suggested" on the map, that
culvert should be numbered and its size indicated on the map etc.
It will not change.
