Ms. Errca Crosby <br />RE: Connell Resowces Glass Grave/ Plt Amendment AM-02 <br />May 5, 2005 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />5. Explanation of the liner installation means, .methods, materials, dimensions and <br />descriptions is provided on the attached Exhibit F, Reclamafion Plan dated <br />November 29, 2004. <br />6. Revegetation will consist only of seeding with dryland grasses per the proposed <br />Exhibit F, Reclamation Plan dated October 23, 1986. Planting of trees and shrubs are <br />not anticipated. Seeding will be consistent with the recommendations provided by <br />the U.S. Soil Conservation Service in the existing permit. <br />Rule 6.4.7 Exhibit G -Water Resources <br />Dewatering to facilitate reclamation of the site will be temporary and of short <br />duration. Impacts to adjacent wells aze not anticipated. However, if dewatering of <br />the site impacts a well that was providing beneficial use prior to dewatering such that <br />the historic water production is impacted, the applicant will implement one or more of <br />the following measures: <br />Stop dewatering operations until impacts can be minimised by operational of <br />seasonal changes. <br />Provide ah alternative source of water to support the historic well water <br />production. <br />Construct temporary recharge ponds between the dewatering operation and <br />the impacted well. Dewatering flows from reclamation activities would be <br />used to maintain water levels in the rechazge pond. <br />However, if the well was not put to beneficial use prior to dewatering to facilitate <br />reclamation, the applicant should have no responsibility to provide mitigation. <br />8. The Office of the State Engineer (OSE) has indicated concurrence that no additional <br />exposed groundwater is proposed in this amendment. The existing well permit and <br />substitute water supply plan will remain in place until reclamation is complete, the <br />liner is approved by the OSE, and there is no longer an effect on stream flow. As <br />stated previously, the lined depression is proposed as part of this amendment, but will <br />not be constructed to store or retain stormwater runoff. <br />9. A current Colorado Discharge Permitting System permit through the Colorado <br />Department of Public Health and Environment exists for dewatering activities at the <br />site. <br /> <br />
