Pa ye 2 <br /> <br />To construct the weir, one-half of the creek will be diverted to the <br />other half by pushing up a dike from the existing stream channel. One- <br />half of the weir will be constructed; then the water will be diverted to the <br />finished weir. An 18 inch diam~er piece of culvert with a sliding gate will <br />be built into the weir and opened to allow the water to pass through the com- <br />pleted section of the weir while the other half of the weir is being construct- <br />ed. This approach will be feasible because the flow in the creek is less than <br />2 cfs at the present time. <br />When the weir is completed, the stream channel will be regraded to its <br />present configuration, and the water will overflow the top of the weir. <br />As a requirement for our permit to mine coal, Snowmass Coal Company has <br />investigated the mine site and has determined that there are no threatened or <br />endangered species present. Also, it has been determined that there is no <br />critical wildlife habitat anywhere near the mine site. <br />If this program is not covered under the nation wide permit system, please <br />send the necessary application forms for a general permit. <br />If you have any questions or continents, please call me at the mine office. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ ~~ <br />Scott Jones <br />Environmental Coordinator <br />SJ:mgc <br />Enclosures <br /> <br />
