Mr. Gregg Squire • Page 6 December 21, 2000 Rule 6.4.5 Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan Item 18 -Wetlands mitigation. -This information on acreage is included m the permit application on Table G-l. Item 19 -Status of 404 permit. -The operator is in the process of completing a 404 permit application with a projected submittal date of January, 2001. The operator will submit a technical revision to the permit that revises the wetlands mitigation plan so that it is consistent with the approved Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit. Item 20 -Woody plants - As stated in the permit application, the operator intends on planting trees around the perimeter of the lakes in groups of 10 to 15 trees. There would be 5 to 6 groups per acre. The reclamation will be successful if 70% of the trees survive. The operator will replace the trees that die until the 70% success rate is achieved. The survey of the trees will be done after the second growing season after the initial planting. Trees will be protected as needed from deer and other wildlife until the reclamation success is achieved. Item 21 -Wetland water elevation. -The elevations of the wetlands can be estimated off of Exhibits C-1 and C-2 since the wetland areas are shown on these exhibits. Very few if any of the wetlands areas delineated have water in them year round so the ground elevation is used. The wetlands have been delineated and previously submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers. Item 22 -Renewable resource area cross sections. -This item is addressed in Item 1 in the response to Mr. Allen Sorenson's review comments. Rule 6.4.7 Exhibit G -Water Information Item 23 - Floodplain information -This information has been supplied on Sheets 1 and 2 of 2 entitled 100 year floodplain. The 100 year floodplain delineation is based on the floodplain maps supplied by Garfield County. These maps are based on floodplain information from Colorado River & Tributaries Floodplain Study by the Department of the Army, Sacramento District Army Corps of Engineers prepared for Mesa and Garfield Counties in cooperation with Colorado Water Conservation Board dated December 1982 and July 1987. These maps do not appear to delineate the tloodway. These maps are the official maps that Garfield County uses for floodplain analysis. Item 24 -Location of wells and springs. The following information on wells and springs has been added to the Exhibits C-1 and C-2 based on information obtained from the State Engineer's office. Two well permits exist within 600 feet of the project site. These wells are located as follows: 1. Evelyn Snyder, Permit No. 77558 2. Department of Energy, Permit No. 29046M SW 1/4, NEl/4 2000 feet from the north line and 2500 feet from east line Section 14. This is assumed to be a groundwater monitoring well. Some question exists as to whether it exists.
