The netting will be installed as soon as it arrives. It can be rolled back for continuing fill <br />activity, or, if additional fill is not practicable, it can be left in place, <br />Based upon the factors outlined above, CEMEX requests the additional time necessary to <br />install the bird netting, with the understanding that the fill project will continue if the <br />water level drops sufficiently to let us move forward. <br />Oneoing Work <br />CEMEX will continue the work outlined in TR-8, which will serve to identify the sources <br />of water into the pit and further our understanding of the hydrogeology of this site. The <br />network of wells and piezometers along with water level recording instruments should <br />allow us to identify the impacts of water in-flow from sources including the Swede Ditch <br />and Boulder Feeder Canal during the coming irrigation season. Further, as outlined in <br />TR-8, we plan to gauge the flow of water in these ditches to determine if any significant <br />ditch/canal losses are affecting C-Pit. <br />We will also continue to meet our current groundwater monitoring obligations under the <br />permit. Finally, we will also request an air permit modification to alter the approved <br />method of dust control to daily cover instead of watering in order to reduce the amount of <br />water added to the system by our current dust suppression requirements. <br />CEMEX is committed to effective and protective environmental management of the <br />Lyons Quarry. Permit M1997-208 and subsequent revisions require that we mitigate the <br />risk to wildlife due to accumulated water in C-Pit, and also protect usable sources of <br />groundwater from any adverse impacts. We have made significant progress in meeting <br />these objectives, and will continue to work with the Division to complete the process <br />outlined by the current technical revisions to the permit. Unforeseen factors now impact <br />our ability to complete the fill project, which is more than 90% complete, by mid-May. <br />We have turned, at least temporarily to another form of mitigation -netting -previously <br />discussed with the Division. Allowing additional time to instal] the netting, while we <br />monitor the water level in the small area remaining, gives us the necessary flexibility to <br />meet our mutual objectives in a timely and protective fashion. <br />ATTAC)-IMENTS: <br />In-situ Monitor Data Plots, C-Pit and Well CEM-001 <br />
