RE: GEC West Pit Drainage Work
Dear Dr. Corley:
The Division received your letter dated January 25, 1994. In that
letter, you indicated that you no longer wished to proceed with the
previously discussed plans for removing the West Pit sediment pond
and routing surface runoff from the pit and the upland watershed
directly into the Magpie Creek diversion. Consequently, the
Division will instruct Kessler Reclamation Co. to proceed with the
drainage plans contained in the original bid documents for the
G.E.C. Orphan Pit project, as modified to fit the available funds
for the work.
A final change order modifying the construction specifications for
the proposed ditch will be issued following consultation with Phil
Kessler. The final specifications will include the maximum channel
capacity and armoring which Kessler Reclamation Co. can provide at
a cost of $18,500. This plan will be carried out in accordance
with the April 19, 1993 "Agreement Concerning Diversion of Water
into Magpie Creek" entered between The Corley Company and the
Division.
Please be aware that, in accord with paragraph 10 of the agreement,
the Division is not to spend funds other than the $18,500 from
Harrison Western Corporation to perform the drainage work. Nor is
the Division to perform any further work in regard to the drainage
improvement after those funds are exhausted. Following
construction of the proposed diversion and expenditure of the
$18,500, the Division will no longer have funds available for
further work in the West Pit.
The Division will meet with Mr. Kessler as soon as possible to
discuss the final construction specifications for the diversion.
A copy of those specifications will be forwarded to you when they
are available. Weather permitting, the West Pit work will be
completed this winter. Otherwise, the work should be concluded
this spring in conjunction with seeding of the reclamation work
done by Kessler this past autumn.
