The objectors filed their objections within the comment period required by the Rules (Rule 1.7.4). The objectors allege that the Permittee that sufficient measures to protect off-site structures due [o an increase in groundwater levels has no[ been addressed, and that the end land-use has not been well-defined. ISSUES Administrative - There aze no Administrative Issues that have been brought tc~ the attention of the Division. Administrative Issues Notes: An Informal Conference was held on May 6 in Fort Collins. Mrs. Jan Boddicker attended, as well as the Division and the Operator, and the main issues brought up in the objection letters were listed and classified as either within the jurisdiction of the Board or outside of it. The main procedural process for a Bcard Hearing was also explained at this time. On July 16, a Pre-Hearing Conference was held in Denver with Catherine Krae:ger-Rovey presiding as the Pre-Hearing Conference Officer; no objectors attended. An agenda was drawn up and time was allotted for different portions of [he hearing to all parties. Between the Informal Conference and the Pre-Hearing Conference, the Boddickers withdrew as parties to the objection. Offsite damage - 1) Upon being informed of the Objectors concerns on this issue, the Division required that the Operator institute a monitoring plan for wells to be installed around the site, along with specified triggers for action to be taken in the event [ha[ the groundwater reaches levels of concern. The design for the slurry wall (which may cause a rise in the groundwater level) has not been approved by the Division yet, since it is currently in the middle of the County review process. Prior to the installation of any slurry wall, a technical revision to the permit must be submitted to [he Division and approved by DMG. 2) The end land use for this site has been clarified and is currentl~r listed as• developed water resources. The Operator is in the process of obtaining the proper approval for this from the Office of the State Engineer (OSE). Until a temporary substitute supply plan or augmentation plan has been approvec, the Operator has agreed to confine excavation to a depth two fee[ above the groundwater table.
