41. Please address the various fences and wells (MW-7EP, MW-2?), the headgate and culvert, and <br />concrete gage station, and holding ponds on land owned by Gary Williams Energy. Also, please <br />clarify the ownership of well RW-6 on property conveyed to Colorado Department of Parks and <br />Recreation and supply any appropriate damage waiver agreement as required by Rule 6.4.19. <br />These additional structures appear to lie within 200 feet of the proposed affected area. <br />ADDITIONAL COMMENTS <br />42. Please indicate what measures will be taken to keep waterfowl and other wildlife away from <br />trenches and ponds if dangerous levels of contamination is found in those features. <br />43. DMG highly recommends that the area of the asbestos landfill be recorded on the land title or <br />deed as an area where building, that requires excavation of any kind, is restricted. <br />44. As stated during the past phone conferences, the reclamation bond may need to include costs for <br />hazardous waste treatment and remediation if a statement from CDPHE, indicating that adequate <br />escrow monies are available for this cleanup, is not submitted to DMG. Please either submit this <br />funding verification, or revise the mining plan to specifically address a detailed plan for treatment <br />and remediation of groundwater in the pit, and the water pumped to the sediment pond and <br />trenches, should contamination be detected in these features. Also, please ensure that the <br />mining plan is revised to specify the notification process and timeframe should water <br />contamination be detected in either the pit, the sediment pond, the trenches or the sentinel wells. <br />45. Please revise the mining plan to specify that an petroleum absorbent "pig" will be placed around <br />all pump intakes, if a sheen is ever detected in either the pit, the sediment pond or the trenches. <br />46. It appears that a washing operation is not planned for this site. Please remove the reference to <br />washed gravel near the bottom of page 13, and any other references to washed product in the <br />application. Otherwise, revise the mining plan to include all details of the washing operation, <br />especially water management. <br />47. The revised permit application package does not include an Appendix C -Summary of Training to <br />be Given to Onsite Employees. Please submit this exhibit or verify that it is unchanged from the <br />original application package. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand <br />Junction Field Office, 101 South Third Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, telephone <br />no. 970-243-6368. <br />Sincere <br />Steve S.
