on, and no source for aquatic species to migrate into the pond. The pit and immediate area is <br />subject to around the clock activity and human disturbance, and is watered and traveled into on a <br />24 hour a day, 7 day a week basis, making it poor nesting habitat. Only once have waterfowl <br />been observed in the C-Pit area. A copy of a recent re-evaluation of risk to wildlife is included. <br />CEMEX installed a net in 2007 over the (less than) half acre deep pond that remained. The net <br />was damaged in multiple wind storms, and is beyond repair. At this point, CEMEX requests to <br />remove the net permanently and eliminate the requirement for daily monitoring of the presence <br />of wildlife, based on the limited presence of wildlife and risk to that wildlife. <br />CEMEX is committed to mitigation and elimination of this source of water. The most prudent <br />action appears to be the maintenance of a small "deep well" pond for consumptive pumping on <br />an intermittent basis. Source identification of the water and monitoring of adjacent water sources <br />(ponds and piezometers) continues as inflow is observed. CDPHE APCD has been unresponsive <br />in requests to modify the fugitive dust control provisions that require the application of water to <br />the C-Pit/CKD area. Thus CEMEX wishes to remove the proposal in TR-8 to pursue this means <br />of reducing inflow. <br />Following last irrigation season, the Boulder Feeder Canal was lined in the portion nearest C-Pit. <br />A copy of a letter summarizing this activity is included. Additional grading of C-Pit is planned <br />to channel all stormwater into the deep well. <br />Enclosed is a check for $216 to process this requested technical revision.
