This site is located on lands <br />controlled by the State of Colorado, for which TCC has right-of--entry. The drilling will <br />be performed to determine the characteristics of the soil and depth to bedrock prior to <br />designing caissons for a building foundation. TCC is not planning on constructing a <br />road, excavating ntud pits, or creating a disturbance which would create additional <br />contributions of suspended solids to stream flow or runoff outside the area. The 4" <br />diameter holes will be drilled by attack-mounted soil auger and may extend up to 30 feet <br />in depth. It is not anticipated that water will be encountered. Access will be directly <br />from Routt County Road 33 onto the site. TCC is not planning to grade any pads due to <br />the shallow depths of the holes and the flat terrain. This drilling will occur over athree- <br />day period and holes will be backfilled with cuttings immediately. TCC does not <br />anticipate that this constitutes a significant disturbance due to the use of attack-mounted <br />rig and the short duration of activity. The site sits on a 2% to 4% grade, and there will be <br />no impact to vegetation, land, air, and water resources. <br />TCC has been fortunate to acquire the use of attack-mounted auger for a week, starting <br />August 3rd. We would appreciate your timely review of this Notice of Intent to enable <br />immediate drilling. <br />Sincerely, <br />TWENTYMILE COAL COMPANY <br />~ ~1~~, ~~ <br />Richard Mills <br />Manager Surface/Environment <br />Enclosures <br />
