An adequacy review and consultation wit <br />Land Management revealed the following concern: <br />minor revision <br />n from SDH-5 to <br />application is <br />h the Bureau of <br />The ground surface needs to be protected from accidental discharges <br />from the pipeline. The BLM expressed a concern that water freezing <br />in the pipeline could cause the pipeline to burst. However, as you <br />stated in our telephone conversation, the pipeline is designed to <br />prevent the accumulation of water, thus protecting against an <br />accidental discharge. Please include in the text, details as to <br />how the design of the pipeline will prevent water accumulation. <br />Also needed in the text is a committment that, should the design of <br />the pipeline fail to prevent. water from freezing in the pipeline, <br />thereby causing a potential for an accidental discharge, WFU will <br />take additional preventive measures such as burying the pipeline <br />below the frontline. <br />If you have any questions regarding this review, please call me at <br />(303) 866-3567 X353. <br />Sincerely, <br />~ ~~.a.. ~. 1..,.~.:k <br />Barbara L.
