The status of resolution of items (a) through (f) of Stipulation No. 22 are as follows: a. The Divisions' February 7, 1984 letter to Western Fuels regarding the Deserado Mine stipulations requested that cross drain culvert specifications for the improved portions of County Road 65 be submitted, as well as a map showing the watershed acreage above each culvert and set of supporting calculations for the County Road 65 culvert of station 29+00. Western Fuels adequately responded to these requests by submitting a copy of Illustration 2 and Maps 57-58 of the application showing sizing calculations and configurations of the culverts. A copy of Western Fuels work map was also submitted showing the watershed acreage above each culvert. Additionally, a copy of Illustration 27 of the permit was submitted to show the sizing calculations for the County Road 65 culvert at station 29+00. Based on a review of this information, the Division concurs that ditches along the improved section of County Road 65, the minor access roads, and the conveyor maintenance road have been designed to withstand the 10 year-24 hour storm event. As such, item (a) of Stipulation No. 22 is considered resolved.
