other companies working in other pits in the same area as the Haldorson permitted area <br />who have stated that groundwater in their pits was not encountered until depths of at least <br />40-50 feet from the surface of their companies pits, Supplement at p.4 and appendix C <br />thereto; and data showing a shale ridge along the southwest corner of the permit area and <br />indicating that groundwater cannot infiltrate to the permit azea from outside the permit <br />azea, Supplement at p. 3 and Appendix B thereto. <br />For the forgoing reasons, DMG requests that the Board reconsider its October <br />2003 decision regarding the Haldorson permit and revise stipulation 2 to indicate that <br />Haldorson may excavate in Phase I during the first year down to 13 feet while continuing <br />to monitor as established in Haldorson's monitoring plan. DMG has no objection to the <br />Board setting a "trigger" point for certain monitoring well(s), which, if groundwater <br />reaches such level, Haldorson would be required to cease excavation activities until the <br />groundwater "trigger" level recedes or other mitigation measures acceptable to DMG <br />have been implemented. <br />Respectfully submitted this 2nd day of March, 2004. <br />~ ~ ~• <br />Stephen Brown <br />Assistant Attorney General <br />Counsel for DMG <br />(303)866-4434 <br />
